I designed these A-Pillar speaker pods specifically for a customer who wanted a clean, factory-like (OEM+) upgrade in his Toyota Hiace. The entire design was focused on making the pods blend in seamlessly with the original pillar lines while providing excellent mounting strength.Freshly Printed A-Pillar Speaker PodDesign Highlights
True OEM Look — Carefully shaped to follow the factory contours of the Hiace A-pillar. Once installed, they look like they could have come from Toyota.
Screwed from Behind Mounting — The pods are designed to be screwed in from behind for a super clean and secure installation. No visible screws on the front surface, giving that perfect factory appearance.
Ideal Sound Staging — Positions the tweeter and midrange at the optimal height and angle for sharp imaging with minimal windshield reflections.
Product SpecificationsSpeaker Compatibility:
Lower cutout: 73 mm (7.3 cm) diameter for 3.5" midrange drivers

By screwing the pods from behind and carefully matching the factory shape, we achieved exactly that — a professional, integrated look with zero ugly brackets or visible fasteners on the front.Speakers are not included — pair them with your favorite components for great results.
