Radio Questions

[zppeacock]

I'm picking up my 1990 Camry Wagon on wed hopefully. I'm wanting to install an after market radio and speakers.

Will this harness work on the stock radio?

What sizes are the stock speakers?

Do I need this:

The typical Camry harness installed in the car is the 2 plug shown in the ebay photo. You need to have a plug(s) that will fit the aftermarket stereo, find out what this is as they can be different.

Would look at the aftermarket radio before making a decision on the installation kit.

Ok, What are the stock speaker sizes?

[atobe]

when you buy an aftermarket radio... it'll have another harness that plugs into the radio.. which you'll have to match up with the wires from your ebay harness...

speakers 3.5' fronts 6.5' rears

[aych]

I've managed to put 4 inches in the fronts and 6.5's in the rears without any mods. but I believe the rears are 5.5 standard if you use the bracket. also, the harness wont save that much time, just get a bunch of clips or splice and solder. I managed to splice and solder in 30 minutes.

Do the speaker sizes matter if its a wagon? Or are they the same?

[TBayToyotaBoy]

The speakers are the same in the wagons, they're just placed differently than the sedan (in the back, behind the rear seats--the fronts are identical).

[disregard]

I would also like to replace the speakers in the front.
The speakers in the back are fine for now.
So I also must search for 3.5 inch round speakers ?

[aych]

Factory standard is 3.5, i have fitted 4 inches without any mods. your call, and yes round

[TBayToyotaBoy]

Yes, 4" round will fit the front without any real sweat.

confirming 4" fit in the front, and use the adaptor harness in case you swap out the stereo in the future.

save a couple $ and get it from this guy:

Is that for the speakers or for the after market radio ?

[TBayToyotaBoy]

That kit is designed to go in the dash, you plug the pigtails into the harness in the dash, and splice/solder the wires onto the wiring that comes with the aftermarket head unit. It just saves you butchering the dash harness.

^yeah, what he said

speakers should just plug in

[zppeacock]

Well I got most of the headunit parts figured out.

Got this from my friend for $45
