Default Factory speaker sizes Non-ML system

Can anyone tell me the speaker sizes of all 8 speakers in my non-ML 2013 ES 350? I believe I have 4 in the doors, 3 in the dash and 1 in the rear deck.

As far as I remember, the mids are 6.5", dash is 3.5", and sub is 8".

Thank you. That's what I think they are from what I can see. Question is what is the center speaker in the dash? I've heard it's only included on nav systems (which I don't have) but that's not confirmed so I really don't know. I can't see through the grill there either. Do you have any idea about this speaker theory /size?

It should play music as well. But you can barely hear it. Not 100% sure of the size but it should be 3.5"

I'll prob just disconnect that one anyway when I replace the 3.5s up front. Question is, should I replace the 3.5s with tweeters instead? Wonder if the sound would reflect off of windshield properly. I certainly would get better highs that way with them connected via crossover to the 6.5s I the door. What's your opinion?

I would do a two-way coaxial in the dash with a silk dome tweeter. Might get a fuller sound vs. just a tweeter by itself.

You're right. I originally was thinking a pair ofJL C2-350 with C3-650s in the doors. But then I came across a C5-650 for $250. That's like 1/2 price. But those are component and I have no spot for the tweeter. I thought about buying them for the quality of the mid and would just find a place for the tweeters....

Check out this thread if you're interested in mounting tweeters in a custom location.
