Check in the trunk, under both seats, and any other place you can think of. Usually you can just tell that your car has a sub by the noise. I dont know where the factory sub position is in the Camry's cuz I dont have one. But then again you might not be able to tell if you have one cuz the factory 6x9's on the rear deck have some punch.

thanks. i really like the sound of the stock stereo, so i am guessing it has a sub somewhere.

no, no sub. just front and rear woofers, also midrange. the Stock in teh 02--04 is better imo.

^what about the 05-06...shouldnt they all be the same ?

MrSo0h0o · 07-30-2007, 02:01 PM

05-06 has 6x9's in the front doors and rear deck, plus 2.5"(?) midranges in the dash.. "stock" sub (which would be the dealer installed sub) would be under the pass. seat.

i tried to connect my bazooka bass tube to the rear speakers (per instructions) and the whole system shut down.

thats why i thought the stock system already had a subwoofer.

um, you probably just cant connect a powered system by splicing wires from the rear, if thats what you tried....

x2 u are lucky u didnt burn anything out..

carlo$ · 07-30-2007, 02:21 PM

thats exaclty what i tried to do, according to the instructions you wire the bazooka to the rear speakers and get 12 from the aux conn (cig ligh).

this is exactly how i had it wired in my 300zx, i figure it would work the same exact way in the camry,

hm no power, ground or remote for the sub? im guessing there is a built in amplifier which would need power to turn on /off.

hm sounds the same for the gen5 and 5.5. not sure why avalonman said the 02 - 04 sound better when the 05-06 are the same...weird

they should all be the same between the JBL and non-JBL systems.. i have to admit the JBL system isnt half bad, and this is coming from someone who had a system in my old camry.. but i changed it out and put my equipment into this new camry lol

If you want, I can sell you a Toyota genuine subwoofer for the Camry. It is plug and play and will go under the passenger seat with no problems because it is designed to go there. See my sig for more details.
