There are two screws in the arm rest and I believe two at the bottom of the door panel. Then you need to pry off the door panel or if you have the tool to pull out the mounting clips from there you remove the speaker and replace. My problem is I can't find the right size speakers.
On other places on the web, I have seen the following additional (please note that this is all unverified): 1. take care in removing the clips by using a shielded tool (tape over a scredriver, etc.) 2. one of the "clips" may in fact require pressing the middle of the clip while removing it. 3. the Ohm rating of the speaker is probably on the speaker. Any wattage is OK, but the proper Ohm rating must be used.
Try to use Toyota speaker adapter plugs so you don't need to cut wires and mess the electric system up. You can get them from Ebay or Amazon.The stock speakers in a 1997 Toyota Avalon typically include 6.5-inch speakers in the front doors and 6x9-inch speakers in the rear deck. The audio system may vary based on the trim level, but these sizes are standard for that model year.
