If only it was that easy my friend. I think every one of us at one time thought that same thing : ) You see the JBL amp receives a propriety data signal not a standard inputs from your JBL head unit. The JBL amp isnt just an amp it also works as a digital sound processor. Its weird. You can...

^^ Thats why I used 2 ohm 6x9s

I replaced my stock 6x9's with these JBL GTO938's: Amazon.com: JBL GTO938 6 x 9-Inch 3-Way Loudspeaker: Car Electronics And did not have to shave any door panel's off to fit the bigger magnet. I just popped the stock 6x9s out of the bracket by pressing hard against the magnet while holding the...

Happened to me once. Wind back window all the way down then all the way up. And hold the up for a couple seconds. If it doesn't detect the window is all the way up it won't allow any of the back functions like window wiper, rear demister etc

Thanks. I suggest once you take it all apart you play your stereo (bass rich songs) and push your hands in to suspect areas. If you find that when you press down firmly on an area if it improves the sound, deaden that area. Once its all taken apart you can find the rattles pretty easily. I used...

I pulled it all apart today and went over it with a fine tooth comb looking for rattles. I pretty much dynamatted the whole area. I found the best improvement was from totally covering the sub box in the sound dampening material. The sound now is MUCH better. If you want more bass I highly...

Thanks guys. Well -22F = -30C so I think it is confirmed that we have maxed out our outside temperature displays! It's too bad. Its nice to snap a pic of the display when its ridiculously cold to send to friends/family in the warmer climates. As someone else also said, I am very impressed...

For anyone interested I just installed Pioneers shallow mount 8" Sub. The model is TS-SW841D. It fits directly into the factory sub enclosure with no modification required at all. Simply plug and play. You will need a drill as the stock sub screw holes do not line up to the pioneers subs drill...

Thanks for all those responses guys. It's been bloody cold up here lately. The 4runner started in -40C absolute yesterday. It didn't want to but it did. Hate starting engines that cold but I had to be on the highway. At -40 the temperature display actually just displays "--" for anyone curious...

Hello, Does anyone else's outside temperature displays go colder than -30? Unfortunately I think mine taps out there and does not display any colder. Not sure if its something broken with mine that I can fix or I just have to figure out another method. Thanks and merry christmas

Thanks for that. What HU did you end up going with? I went down this path before and seeing that you need a new bracket and everything to fit a double DIN head unit in to the JBL location I though to hell with it. Going to order some JBL GTO938 6" x 9" for the front. Am waiting for my Pioneer...

Well searching the internet for hours has landed me back here : ) Quick question, OP you replaced your HU, 6*9s and rear speakers.. did you get an adapter and keep the JBL amp? If so, did you notice a drop in performance from your 6x9's as you replaced them with 4 ohm 6*9s rather than 2 ohm...

If I wanted to just replace my stock 6x9's up front should I replace them with 2 ohm? 2.9 ohm seems like a funny size that is half way between 2 and 4...

Would be great if you could do a nighttime shot from your driver seat with the lights on/off.
