Front speakers that fit a 83 FJ60?

[Pantingfish]

So the PO of my 83 FJ60 installed after market stereo and speakers front and back. The front ones prohibited the windows from rolling all the way down, so I took those out the first weekend I had it. My question is does anyone know of the size that fit and/or specific models they have used that have fit? I don't need anything fancy, I'm not looking for any incredible speakers, if I had the stock ones I would put them in, thanks

I installed polk audio 5 1/4 and they fit great mine is an 88 fj62 so not sure if that makes a difference

Do a search on here or google to bring up threads in this forum. There are some low profile speakers that fit FJ60 doors well. You can bump out the window channel slightly with a spacer to clear the low profile speaker. The othe posts I mention go into great detail on the spacers and the low profile speaker brand and model numbers. This worked well for me.

I installed Pioneer TS-G1345R speakers in my FJ60 front doors, they fit great under the OEM door panels/speaker grilles.

6" Boston Acoustics in my '85. They have been in it for over 15 years so no idea the model number or if they have changed dimensions.

if the put 6.5 in they cut the inner door to make them fit so stock won't work anymore. i just put 6.5 focals in my front doors and had to use a 1/4 ring spacer. not stock looking but when painted to match the interior look pretty good. they sound awesome too.

I have polks also and they fit fine under the stock grills

Thanks for that info, I just ordered some TS-G1345R on Amazon for my 60. Now I just need to track down some gray OEM front speaker grills and my doors will be back to original!

I couldn't find a 5-1/4'' speaker that fit and I didn't want to drill holes in my door shells so I installed 4'' pioneer speakers using the old speakers as a bracket. Pics in my 87 thread in my signature page 24

Thank you guys for the advice! I ordered the Pioneer TS-G1345R (For $25 shipped on Amazon you can't beat that) I don't think the holes were drilled large than the OEM speakers, does anyone have any advice for taking the door panel off? I was able to get the speakers out without having to take the whole thing off, I just unclipped the bottom and could get at it but I don't think I can install it that way. Really I just don't know how it comes out near the top trim at the bottom of the window

It just lifts up at the top once all the tabs are out.

I know this is old ... do you know the Polk model #?

Came here to say, I finally upgraded the front speakers. Found these Kickers on Amazon, and they fit perfect. OEM look, speaker fits behind door panel with enough room for window.

I did end up 3d printing a spacer ring, just to give the connection to the door a little more flex and fit tighter against the door (second thinnest version). It wasn't required but did help slightly with spacing. https://makerworld.com/en/models/888681-5-25-inch-speaker-spacer#profileId-844630

Ive bought the 6.5 inch speakers for the rear doors, and the clearance looks great as well. I am going to try and print a 3d adapter/mount to mount them into the door.

Old thread, but since it got dragged back up from the dead...

I sell speaker spacers/adapters for the front doors of FJ60s. They're available here: https://cruisertrashparts.com/products/60-series-speaker-spacer-adapter

Solid aluminum, threaded holes, 1/4" thick. They attach to the door with the oddball arrangement of 3 screws that Toyota uses, and provide four THREADED holes spaced for modern 5.25" speakers (small screws are included for the latter). The 1/4" thickness opens up some options for speakers that still let you roll the window all the way down, and with the right speaker choice the stock grille/cover still fits over them. Stock look, stock window functionality, modern speakers - the spacers/adapters try to make that all happen. Speakers that are known to work are listed at the link above, try other stuff at your own risk.
