How to Install Speakers in a 2001 Toyota Tundra

The 2001 Toyota Tundra pickup truck is equipped with a pair of speakers mounted in the front doors. The speakers are a round, 6 3/4-inch design, and there are many aftermarket speakers which will fit into the existing factory openings. Installing speakers is a suitable task for the do-it-yourselfer--while you must remove the door panels to access the speakers, the tools involved are easy to use and the job can be completed in a reasonable amount of time.
