I went to install the 3 1/2 speakers and you do have to move the mounting brackets inward to fit this speaker, (like your installed did for the infinity's ) . Instead of installing them, I ordered some 4" infinity speakers to see if those will bolt up correctly without moving mounting holes. I will advise of the outcome when them come in. Larger is better?? we will see.
Oh this is funny! I was JUST on Crutchfeld, saw that they have 4" options that fit the dash corners (but with a note, "with minor modification"), and came in here to ask if they would be a better fit. You beat me to it, @DocEnuf !
I finally replaced the corner dash speakers in my 2024 ES 350 Non Mark Levinson System with 3.5" Infinity 307REF speakers. Bought them on sale at Crutchfield for $75.00 (free shipping) Had them professionally installed by a mobile installer for $100.00. The factory system were flimsy, made of plastic and typical poor quality speakers manufactured in Vietnam. The infinity's were robust construction and were significantly better quality. They fit flush with the speaker grills. The upgraded speakers have much improved clarity (higher end) and transmit low-end bass signals much better. Did not change out the front door speakers as they carry low end bass signals only. Installer told me that replacing them with co-axials would do nothing to improve the sound stage. I will post pictures showing the two different speakers and the final installation once someone tells me how to transfer them from my android phone to this thread.
Well worth the cost!
Do you know if he had to remove the entire panel? Or just the speaker grill? I'm sitting on 7 3.5s I want to do a full replacement.
Here are the pictures. Side by side comparison of front and rear sides of the factory speaker and Infinity 307REF speaker. Photo of the Infinity installed in the dash.

The right corner dash speaker, it has brown and black wire.I traced them to the speaker and brown is to negative and black to positive. I tried reverse the wires and the sound still the same. So I left them as I have followed the speaker with brown to negative and black to positive.
Usually most color codes have black as negative.
Thanks.
