    Hello,
    Front woofers are blown in 2014 prius with JBL greenedge.
    Did anyone replace those with aftermarket speakers and retain good sound quality?

    I did, initially wanted to keep jbl head unit.
    first replaced the front jbl speakers in my 2013 prius plug-in with 6-1/2″ 2-way components
    I thought they would've made a difference for the sound I was looking for, but they didn't. I had read 6-1/2″ can fit the rear doors, so I decided to relocate them to the rear.
    second I replaced the front jbl speakers in my 2013 Toyota prius with 6×9 speakers
    the sound was better but not what I wanted... needed more bass, but not enough to win sound comps.
    third I added a low profile powered subwoofer under the passenger seat of my 2013 Toyota prius
    next thing you know, the volume knob to my E7048 GreenEdge started to not function properly...
    so I had to replace it
    fourth I added an android head unit to my jbl Toyota prius plug-in and used the canbus adapter

    I didn't see a mention of impedance of the stock speakers.

    Didn't put them in yet, waiting for the rivets to arrive.
    Part number is 86160-0WV50.
