Introdução

The car speaker's primary job is to take the music sent from your radio or amplifier and convert it back into vibrations, which you hear as sound. Due to thermal or physical damage, over time, speakers can typically become blown or distorted. This guide will teach you how to replace the speakers in a '03 Toyota Camry. For info regarding reasons for speaker distortion, see this website Rockford blog.

Word of caution, the factory speakers are discontinued, making finding new ones very difficult. I recommended you replace them with aftermarket speakers instead. To find aftermarket speakers that fit your car correctly, I recommend this website, Crutchfield.

Lastly, when prying on the plastic screw covers in this guide, be sure not to overexert, as the plastic is cheap and easily breakable.

Before you begin the repair, turn off the car and place it in Park.
