What size are the speakers in the dashboard?
what size are the rear deck speakers (im assuming 6x9's)
where are the factory amplifiers locate din these cars?
are all speakers amplified, or only the rear deck speakers?

i think the fronts are 4' and the rears are 6.5' not sure about the fronts... you don't hear them for jack though.....i don't think it had any factory amps

keep in mind, mine is a lexus, it has an amp somewhere.

Crutchfield's vehicle selector thing gives 3.5" and one 4" for the front ( I guess both will fit?) and 5.25" for the rear speakers. I don't know about the amp thing, but I would guess they didn't come with one...

I've done alot of audio work to mine, mine is a Toyota tho..not a Lexus.
But i'll tell ya what mine has, it could be the same.
The front speakers are 3.5" and are installed in a plastic box with a 4" diaphram. This diaphram can be removed and a 4" speaker added.
The rear speakers are 6" or 6.5" speakers.
There is not external amps. Mine had what Toyota called the "Deluxe" stereo which had external equalizer and all..but the amp was stil in the headunit.

^that sounds about right.
My old '88LE had that wierd 3.5 speaker and I guess 4" flat cone driver in the dash basically pointing downwards so I figured not worth the effort fabing something in to such a shitty location. No outboard amp either.
I built door pods holding 6.5 coax's. If today I would try kicks or a different fab in the doors to hold comps.

If I remember correctly, you can remove the baffle for the rear speakers and effectively mount a 6.5" speaker without much work. Or, simply build your own.

Just something I remember doing when I was an installer.

MentatGom · 02-13-2005, 12:46 PM

I've owned 3 gen-2 camrys:

3.5 in the front... in passive radiator enclosure, although they do help the small speakers sound better.

6.5 in the rear... you'll have to add your own baffle, since its built into the stock speakers... also have to be careful with which speakers you add back there, cause there is little clearance if you want to put the stock grills on top... or you'll just have to cut the plastic behind the grill cloth.

stock HU has the amp on board

I actually have some Infinity Reference 3025cf i'll be getting rid of... i'll post in the appropriate section later tonight.

you sure that was the amp? it think thast the heater core....thats the only thing behind my stereo.

on second thought, i dont know if this is the amp, no wires going to speakers...

I would like to see how to get a set of 6x9 speakers in the back without destroying it, has anyone done it yet?

ArmyofOne · 02-13-2005, 09:57 PM

i will be.

Tommy · 02-13-2005, 10:12 PM

Thats the way i put 6x9s in my rear deck, and thats the only way ive seen 6x9's on a gen2 rear deck too.

i dont think there is much better way to do it, there just isnt any room below the deck to mount a big speaker like that. I made a new deck out of some half inch partical board, then i bolted that to the metal frame, then i got those risers to get the mounting clearence needed. not a hard project, and definatly worth it if you have subs. the rear deck doesnt rattle at all when its bolted down like that.

fredk · 02-13-2005, 10:13 PM

thats the heater core
