I put my sub and amp in the car this week. I had it in my previous car (a civic), turned it into a plant stand when I got the 4 runner--about 1 year ago--and finally got around to installing it in the 4runner last weekend.... Well it didn't work. every time I connected the power wires a fuse...

I didn't have anything in there previously. No amp, no sub. So I put some carpeting for sound deadening and also to pad the amp and board. The amp and one of the crossovers is resting on the wheel well and i wanted to add a little padding to keep them from cracking or getting damaged when I...

Okay, it took longer than I planned but it's mostly done. Everything is installed and works. Now I just need to change the way the sub hooks up to the rest of the car so it looks better. I blew the fuses on the sub yesterday and need to replace those now too. I think they blew when I hooked...

I recommend not connecting the dim wire because then, when you drive with your lights on during the day the stereo never gets too dim to read (although at night it never dims either :bash: )

Well....I took the headunit out today to change up my system and took the opportunity to wire in the power antenna lead like you said and guess what? You're right and now I get AM reception. Thanks man.

More posts with pics to follow... Here's a link to part I: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=27703 During part I, I also installed an amp under the passenger's seat to power the speakers. I don't have pics but I took that amp out yesterday and have moved it to the the...

I have a HU installed and have the same problem w/the AM reception. Can you give a little more detail about what you did with splicing the antenna to the power antenna wire, so I can repeat it on my 4runner this weekend? thanks.

I did the same basic thing with the tweeter. I had hoped to put the tweeter closer to the midrange but I couldn't think of a good way to do it without cutting the door panel. I used the Plexiglas scraps to creater the tweeter mount as you can see. If you've done this install recently you will...

Here's my door speaker replaced. I used the original speaker spacer. I ripped out the paper OEM speaker and created a Plexiglas plate to cover where the old speaker was. Then I cut a hole in the Plexiglas for the new speaker and glued it all together. Infinity Perfects that I took out of...

Here's the headunit install kit. It DOES fit the 2006 SR5 with base stereo. I only say this because I had trouble finding the info before ordering the kit. Metra 99-8206

I got the headunit in. Pics to follow. Then I removed the driver's seat to install my amp for the from door speakers.... And the amp didn't fit. I ran the wires over to the seat, removed the seat and then double checked the amp fit. It did. Then I started hooking the wires up and...

I'm interested in the box. Can you post/PM me pics of the box out of the 4runner? I'll be in NYC this weekend--maybe we can meet up to avoid shipping charges. -P
