Hello all, I’m going to install a new head unit, front and rear speakers for my cousin’s 1993 4runner. Here are some questions.

1.) I need to confirm that the front speakers are 4”.
2.) What size are the rear speakers?
3.) I hear the rear speakers have a OEM amplifier attached to them, is this true? If so, I can still use them right?
4.) Anything out of the ordinary I need to know before I attempt to take apart the front and rear panels to install the new speakers?

Thanks for any and all input.

1)yes
2)um...not sure
3)indeed they do
4)hmm..out of the ordinary..if i were you, i wouldnt do it naked with mayo spread on my backside

 

1. same as above
2. same size as the front, 4"
3. same as above
4. not really.

 

1. dont even bother replacing anything to fit stock location.
2. rears are on a "plate". weird design...
3.
4. dont bother with stock locations. dont bother with rear speakers unless you carry passengers almost all the time. best thing to do is mount a great set of speakers either on kick panels or door mounts (both are custom work -- but in the long run, your ears will like you). then just add a subwoofer.

 

Any pictures out there of custom installs?

 

i just replaced my front's with some 4" pioners, they are cheap but sound really good. I would say stick with the stock location b/c they have a box made for the speakers and would be nice to keep that. I'm pretty sure the back speakers are a little bigger like maybe 5 1/4

I have pics of the door pods in another link on the stereo page.

Leo is right, you only need two good door speakers and a sub in the rear to fill the whole cockpit of a 4Runner with great sound.

 

I would not recomend the stock locations in front, because they are at different angles.

I agree that door speakers would be a better setup.

 

1. yes
2. same as front 4"
3. yes, amplifier is on the back of the speaker housing. You can use it if you're planning on replacing the OEM with the same 4"
4. I replaced the front 4" with custom door pods, that house a 6.5 components. The 4" weren't worth the effot to replace, how much sound can you really get out of a 4" anyway? For the rear I took out both speaker housings. Replaced them with 6x9. Powered them all with an amp, and the system sounds really good.

 

the rears if i can rember are 6" or i think oversized 6.5" like i got in taco

 

A 4.5 inch will fit in the rear and will give you more options on speakers. The actual speaker size in the rear is a 5 inch. It is an odd size but some companies do make them.
