winter came, and although everyones excuse is that is to cold to work, i got 2 new toys...

Mr Toasty



and mr smelly



they need to be together to ensure my safety...

so decided once the temp was TOASTY... 75F in garage, to tackle one door...



i was checking this speaker here..



i was making some noises, so i hooked it up to my testing system when it blew,



when it fell off my hands... cuz i got scared...



then a little bird told me



that it was time to upgrade, so i took out the box i had for months...



and just finished the wiring...




These are 4 inch rockford Fosgate, that will complement my 8 inch...



next stop, GMAT... Questions?

Ok so option 1 will be. So i remembered long lime ago i saw some wires near the radio, and i did not continue to investigate. Toyota likes to do the things right, and i could only assume the wiring for the 8 speaker must be there... Just the door wiring's must change... right? ....... YES indeed...

so i started unplugging the doors harnesss.





had to cut my Jdm folding mirrors.... lol



to completely get the wiring out be careful with this clip, or youll break it...



Going back to the radio area, ( I dont have the amp anymore, and center console is out) you see this little plug....



that plug is speaker wiring that i traced to the doors, except it ends on the female plug.



and yes i tested it with a multimeter. And the color pattern remains the same.... YAY!!

so i gots this from my stash



actually had an old plug, lol



and plugged them in the Male harness of the door, from there i will continue once I clean the mess i made...



So there you go, no need to rewire the main cabin, just the door harness.. I may do the same with the JDM folding mirrrors, now that i have the door harness out....

just because i think the jdm mirrors wiring looks tacky.
