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!

These should be perfect for a portable rock box. Just use a harbor freight plastic lock box. Add 12v lithium battery, Bluetooth amplifier and connect your speakers. Just pair your cell and jam out.
Serious question: is the demand/market for car audio shrinking in the past decade due to the more complicated/high tech infotainment system? Head unit Screens have to support HVAC, seat warmers, car security, etc.
I have a old scion so these be amazing for me my speakers are blown..
I'll be putting these in my 2009 scion xD. I actually just finished replacing the stereo unit and front speakers last night. I'm hoping these do well as rears. If you have the same make/model I could link you the other supplies you might need.

I watched a video the other day on YouTube and apparently on newer cars they're suggesting people don't replace the dash units for that very reason. Although other devices, like say the amplifier (I could be wrong) are now doing signal processing, etc. In fact they now sell Bluetooth devices you can add to your amp (or whatever) and bypass your car's stereo deck altogether.
