My front speakers had no sound

[RedRide]

I still have my'09 hatch back. it only has about 20k miles on it ... long story

About a year ago, first the left front audio went out
Then about a week later the right front audio when out

Since was the height of the pandemic, I never had it looked at and I was sure not about to go to the dealer for it.

Anyway last week, I went to the only reputable (privately owned) car audio installer in my town. They suspected the speakers but were not quite sure.

So today I had an appointment to pull a door panel to see for sure if it was the speakers or the HU.
The owner (with over 10 years experience) said it would be much easier to just pull a door panel than to pull the HU and test it

Anyway, the front speakers were indeed bad and they installed new high end coaxial speakers. They seem to sound much better that the stock speakers.... as I remember them.
I assume that in an inexpensive car as the Yaris, Toyota did not install the best speakers.

BTW, I always have the fader set to have just a bit of sound from the rear speakers ....for just a bit of "fill".
Anyway it is great to has front speaker sound again.

Has anyone else had any problems with stock front speakers in an older Yaris .....such as mine
