I'll be installing a new system this coming weekend (head unit, speakers, amps and subs.) I've done some digging around but just want to be clear on what I should expect:
Power:
Will be routed into the cabin through one of the two grommits behind the glovebox.
Front speakers:
The door panel should pop off with 1 screw behind the door latch. The factory speaker is riveted in and will need to be drlled out. 6.5" components will fit so long as you a) make a custom mount out of MDF or b) use the crutchfield Toyota speaker adapter.
Rear speakers:
- I couldn't find too much info here - The rear panel (3 sections) will need to come off. Since the speaker cavity is open to the trunk the sound won't be great so use coaxial speakers (rear-fill.) Again the speakers will need to be drilled out and new mounts fabricated/purchased. 6.5" speakers WILL fit.
Console:
Access to the radio can be gained by removing the paneling around the shifter first. Then up around the radio. The Crutchfield Scion dash kit will work providing you remove the xA and xB designated tabs.
Where to mount amps:
This is very much a personal approach. Since one of my amps is too big to fit in the storage compartment (foam to the right of the spare) I have made a new peice large enough to hold the amps and hide the wires.
So what did I miss?
Any help is appreciated.
