Harness Help

Hey Matt, @ToyotaMatt , do you have an image of the radio kit installed? I'm under the assumption that the speaker mounted in the glove box, and faced the corner of the cowl? I put a modern speaker in there today, and would consider running the OEM one there if it worked with my CD player. I wonder if it has to match ohms, and watts?

I checked a couple of the service manuals I have for the FJ40 AM radios, they specify 4 ohms for the speaker.

@Engineer8000 - any reason I couldn't run a factory AM radio (expecting to see 4 ohm speaker resistance) and then run two 8 ohm speakers in parallel? The radio should still see 4 ohms resistance, correct?

I'd like to have the factory radio, but I don't want to mount a single speaker under the dash, as I'll never be able to hear it. Thanks!

Yes, two 8s in parallel will be fine.
