- Philips-head screwdriver
- Flat-head screwdriver

2.Door Panel Removal:
Start by removing the door panel. The door panel is typically held in place by a few screws. Be careful not to drop the screws when removing them.
3.Disconnect Old Speaker:
Once you have removed the door panel, disconnect the wires leading to the old speaker. There may be a clip or connector holding the wires in place.
4.Remove Old Speaker:
Remove the old speaker by unscrewing the mounting screws.
5.Prepare New Speaker:
Take your new speaker and connect the speaker wires to the corresponding terminals on the new speaker.
Ensure the polarity of the wires is correct (red to positive, black or silver to negative) and secure the connections.
6.Install New Speaker:
Place the new speaker in its mounting location and secure it using the mounting screws. Make sure the speaker is properly aligned and not obstructed.
7.Test Speaker:
Reconnect the battery, turn on the stereo, and test the speaker to ensure that it is working correctly.
8.Reinstall Door Panel:
Reinstall the door panel by securing it with the screws you removed earlier.
9.Soldering (Optional):
If you want a more secure connection, you can use a soldering iron to solder the speaker wires to the terminals on the new speaker. This is not necessary, but it can help ensure that the connection does not come loose over time.
Remember to check any instructions or specific recommendations for your particular Toyota pickup model, as some details may vary.
