4.5 out of 5 stars rating at Best Buy based on over 30 customer reviews
Good point. Lots of cheap, small Class D amps nowadays if someone is so inclined.
For people wondering what sensitivity means, it's a rating of how loud a speaker will be at 1 meter off of a single watt of power. This speaker will produce 86dB off a single watt which is a potentially ear damaging level, so it will get loud, but a speaker rated 96dB sensitivity will sound twice as loud off of the same head unit or amp. If you like music loud with windows down, and you don't want an external amplifier, it's usually recommended to shop for efficient speakers with a high sensitivity number.
For every 3dB increase in sensitivity, sound pressure doubles: for every 10dB of sensitivity, a speaker sounds twice as loud.
If it came with some sort of premium audio ("JBL Synthesis" in a Sequoia), it probably will be worse. The sequoia has an irregular shaped shallow-depth 6x9 in the front door. It is usually recommended to replace it with a 6.5", so that's good, but then you'll run into an imaging problem as you'll have multiple tweeters. There's already a 2" speaker on you dash, so if you add this coaxial speaker down low in the door, the high frequencies that are easily localized will come from two different places. This won't matter to some, but I wouldn't do it.
If you don't like the higher frequency characteristics of your current system, Crutchfield recommends these for a non-JBL, non-Nav Sequoia: https://www.crutchfield.com/p_206...tml?tp=105

It's nice to have a truly knowledgeable person speak in these threads.
Keep on keepin on!

Do you think this will make a stock basic head unit sound better? I have a 2012 Toyota Sequoia base model stock stereo, trying to hold off on a head unit for a while. Also looking for some new tweeters. Mostly used for Bluetooth music Android Auto. Don't listen too loud, Treble > Bass. TIA

I think if ...it will way better than factory sound good enough for me
Depends on your factory speaker, a lot of brands these days partner with brands like Harmon Kardon/JBL already. Only way to know is to take off the door panels and press down on the cone if it feels like paper then it's garbage. My car had bose yet the speakers were paper cone. I threw those in the garbage

I have a old scion so these be amazing for me my speakers are blown..

Caveat of we're wading into very opinionated waters here, but I'll throw my two cents in. I would only put these into something that I don't care about like a novelty ice chest boombox. Pro tip go to crutchfield and put your car in to see what it supports.
1) If your head unit is not difficult to replace, then I would actually save to start there. I've installed plenty of new head units that bring life to stock speaker setups. Especially if you're using Bluetooth as your audio source on a car older than ~2015(this can still be true of cars newer than that on the budget side of the spectrum).
2) as others have said, if you've got a factory system that's "average" or better, these probably aren't an upgrade. Now if you've got blown speakers or deteriorated/sun rotted rubber surrounds and you're trying to save up for something nicer than absolutely pick these up.
3) if you're sticking with your stock head unit because all of your ac controls are built into it or something, you'll probably want a higher efficiency speaker. Also you need to check to make sure you can run 4 ohm speakers (some cars run 8 ohm stock)
3) if your budget allows you to step up to the $50(on sale) bracket, then I'd definitely wait for something better
4) "paper" coned speakers aren't instantly bad. there are plenty of audiophiles that prefer paper/pulp cones due to their tonality.
5) sound quality isn't about having the loudest bass or super crisp treble. It's "best" to start with a flat response across as much of the audio spectrum as you can with good stereo imaging, and then tune certain frequencies up or down to your preference. This is what many refer to as a "house curve"
