i'm about to purchase one and have been trying to find out what the stock speaker size is for the door speakers on a '97...looking to do some stereo mods :P
//www.crutchfield.com
I own a '98 Black TRD Tacoma 8)
As far as the speakers, go to crutchfield for sizes like gazingwa said.
You can get custom kick panels for the Tacoma so pretty much any component speaker will fit. Mine is an '87 so I had to "be creative" making the panels work but they do :)
Stock location on mine are in the left and right side of the lower dash

i saw one on tv once...... but seriously we have a place for this, called O&E.
My 2001 only came with door speakers, but I located the rear speaker wires and plugged in a couple small speakers behind the seat. Sounded much better with 4 speakers. It was cool Toyota used the same stereo in the Tacoma as in other cars that use 4 speakers.
Im gettin a 99 Ford ranger on Friday, and I think im gonna have to do the same thing...
Ford Ranger?? lol Good luck with that sh*t :lol:
Yeah, the new 2005 tacoma double cab/long bed w/ trd is about as cool as it gets.. 8)
