You are the King on this one. Noone on youtube or the web provides the details you provided in this video. Because of your video, I bypassed my 2004 Toyota Sequoia Limited JBL amplifier with an aftermarket 5 channels amplifier and an android head unit. Thanks for sharing and making my project easy. Well done, you are the best
Thanks for this video. It confirmed what I have researched. I went with a full audio system upgrade. The front JBL amp has 4 channels. Two channels driving the mid+tweeters and the other two driving the woofers. The woofer channels have low-pass filters built into the amp - this is clear when I first changed my speakers to a 2-way. The midbass driver I used to replace the old woofer was only producing very low frequencies. The channels for the rear JBL amp are full-range (coax speakers have filter cap for tweeter). I went ahead and got a 4-channel amp to drive 2-way component speakers in the front and new coax speakers in the rear. I then added a mono amp for a subwoofer in the small storage space in the back (it's a JL Stealthbox).
You are definitely the best guy on the tube of you! Thanks you are correct you have the only video I've found on the whole interweb. Stupid 2nd amp. Keep it you are now a real live SUPER HERO! I've been to lazy to do this until I was sure it would work. Now no excuses its fully insured fairies may or may not come out. I'm going in.........
8 weeks in and I've had no issues. I've made no mistake or had to redress the wiring. I was in haste and used crimp connectors in several places and deeply regret such a hack! LOL Very glad to help you!
This Video is great but I have an 01 and all the speakers on the drivers door suddenly stopped working and just make a buzzing sound now so I was thinking it might be a ground issue, do you have any idea what it might be?
so dude who said hede install an amp n subwoofer for me for 80$ wont be able to do it easyily? im reading and hearing that perhaps line out connector or something is necessary...does this have to be difficult.or can i put a 10 in. subwoofer in no problem?
Seems like its easier to run new wire? Just delete the amps, connect the head unit to power, and run new speaker wire to the speakers. Factory speakers are 2-ohm, but that Kenwood is designed for 4-ohm. it'll run hot and may eventually fail.
Man this video is great. I put new speakers in with a new deck and the front sound terrible. I though the bass speakers would have some midrange but nope. The midrange and the tweeter are on the same line. Wtf Toyota. Now I have to bypass the front amp (back is fine only kids back there) but I really need to know where you bought those inline crossovers. So I can split the factory tweeter and the new 6-1/2s I put in.
Been trying to find a video for a while now best one I have seen thanks for the wire info 👍

I was looking for some help. It looks like you're figuring it out too. Thanks for trying.

Very good! Glad the video is helpful to you. Mine is still working in spite of the crimp connectors! 😂 One day I'll do it properly!
San Marsui that is exactly what I'm planning, how does it sound?
Excellent video, was very clear and helped me a lot to install my new radio in my Sequoia 2003, congratulations.
I am infuriated by how complicated Toyota and JBL decided to make these systems.
appreciate that so much i looked for hours trying to find schematics. this is the best vid ever
Excellent video very clear and helped a lot to install my new radio in my in my Sequoia 2003, congratulations.
Hey I had question, since i also have a 03 sequoia could you mind helping me a bit?

🙌🏽 trying this with my 03 tomorrow
Mine is surprisingly still working.
Thanks!
Maybe I missed it, but what does the "grey", wire do. You said it's for the "switch"..?
I looked online for the hi low crossover but can not find the one you have. All I found was the rca inputs. Any help?
This Video is great but I have an 01 and all the speakers on the drivers door suddenly stopped working and just make a buzzing sound now so I was thinking it might be a ground issue, do you have any idea what it might be?
Thanks for watching and glad you found it helpful! Did you remove the amps ( not just the head unit)?
You are my hero!!!!
Re-wire with confidence! 😁
Did you get the steering wheel controls to work?
Mine is an sr5, so no wheel controls.
i have a 2001 sequoia, but it doesn't have the jbl stereo. does anyone know where the amp is located?
No amp
so dude who said hede install an amp n subwoofer for me for 80$ wont be able to do it easyily?
im reading and hearing that perhaps line out connector or something is necessary...does this have to be difficult.or can i put a 10 in. subwoofer in no problem?
Line out on a new/aftermarket stereo is the easiest way. You could do it with the OEM deck, but you'll have to pull signal from the rear amp.
This doesn't seem too difficult, It's nothing a little 420 couldn't solve.
What a pain in the ass.

If you like Amazon or eBay, just search "two-way Stereo passive crossover"
Make sure whatever you buy has woofer & tweeter outputs.
i have a 2003 camry with a jbl system. I ran sub in it and when i went to replace the radio the harness was cut...... worst head case ever
