What sizes are you trying to go from. Like, what's the stock size vs the new speaker size?

Front is 6.5 back is 5.25, I'm having custom adapter made.

Also aftermarket sizes are both 6.5's. Ones I'm putting in the back have to big of a basket so im going to install spacers.

I was hoping someone knew of speaker adapters that fit.

I used car-speaker-adapters.com for the install on the 99 Camry but I don't see a listing for the ES300. I guess no one changes those speakers?

Anyone know of a place to buy speaker adapters that will fit 6.5" aftermarket speakers front and rear?

Thanks.

The data I see for a 2000 es300 shows the stock speaker to be 6.5" so therefore no adapter would be needed.

Yes, the speakers sizes are the same but the mounting bracket is different.

see here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1997-1998-19...BVvmzj&vxp=mtr

It's like a triangular shape with the holes on each corner. At least on my 99 camry that bracket cannot be removed from the stock speaker. I don't know about the ES as I don't plan on changing them unless I can find a bracket for the new speakers.

The bracket I used for the Camry allowed me to screw in the aftermarket speaker into the PVC bracket and kept the oem mounting holes so it fit like it was meant to be there.

The problem is, the ES300 speakers look slightly different than the Camry ones.

It may require some improvised engineering on your part. You could try to cannibalize the stock speaker so you can use the mounting ring.

That's what I was afraid of, didn't really want to spend too much time jerryrigging it lol.

If anyone has experience, please feel free to chime in here
