2003 - 2009 Toyota 4Runner Front Door Speaker Install

Parts used linked in the description below!
Watch a full tutorial as a 2008 Toyota 4runner will have a new pair of 6x9" Alpine component speakers installed on the front doors. We will be replacing both the midrange as well as the tweeter for the best sound quality possible.
NOTE: Our 4runner was not equipped with the JBL factory audio sound system. If you have JBL, you will either need to bypass the amplifier or choose a 2 ohm speaker to integrate with the factory amp. Speakers recommended linked in the description below!
This video applies to Toyota 4runner models for years 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009. In addition, this install includes how to remove the factory door panel, wire and install the speakers, and testing.

[@kevinswearingen]

thank you so much for posting this!!!! My old speakers where shot and this video made replacing them a breeze!

[@ThePanjatan]

Great Video....Thanks much

[@Mtbmadness1968]

Great Video! I followed your instructions. Any idea why I would get Tweeter cracking when turning up the volume? It starts when I'm about 40% of the volume.

[@stevet1578]

Curious if I’m using the factory head unit do I still need the tweeter crossover? Great video!

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Yep, always use the tweeter crossover! Protects your tweeter from unwanted frequencies, regardless of the source or radio.

[@decrypt_key]

Does it matter which way you connect the crossover? With this exact setup in my 2008, the tweeters sound staticky. I tried attaching to the terminals on the back of the 6x9 as well and same thing.

[@AbeC116]

Does the 4th gen 4Runner sr5 4WD come with the subwoofer box and amp as shown in the video ?

[@renepena7360]

Could you give me the specifications of the tweeter please? Specifically Watts, ohm and diameter, thanks.

[@maccook5230]

Are you working from the garage at your house or are you at a shop somewhere I’m curious?

[@4thgenhunter]

I’m about to upgrade my 6x9s but I think I’m gonna leave the tweeters stock for now

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Sure, you can add a coaxial there for now, yes.

[@charlesvue1289]

Did you have to use an amp with that set up

[@Xythol]

How do I know if I need component or coaxial speakers? I don't have the JBL system and I'm looking to replace the stock speakers. I've already replaced the head unit a few years ago. Will 2" tweeters with a crossover work well with 5-way coaxial 6x9's in the front door? Or do I need component? Sorry for so many questions and thank you for any response!

[@tommyz9192]

Did you get an answer?

[@PandaMaracucho]

Hablas español? Dónde trabajas? Dirección? Vendes todo el sistema de sonido?

[@subiyota]

I bought some rockford fosgate components but they didnt come with crossovers. Would that be a problem?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Some rockford components have integrated crossovers, just depends on which ones you have. Regardless, you need some sort of crossover or else you can risk blowing your speakers.

[@subiyota]

Thanks for the response! I got a blown speaker on my 04 4runner so i went ahead and ordered some rockford fosgate components cause i was told that its better and easier than just switching out just the speakers. I guess ill just find out when they arrive. Thanks again

[@rachleigh]

Is it recommended to use a crossover even if they are built in to the tweeters?@@ProvoBeastAudio

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

@rachleigh If your tweeter you are installing comes with a crossover, yes, you must install it. If the tweeter you are installing has a crossover already built into it, no an external crossover isn't needed, especially if the tweeters don't include one

[@kenrickshirley5640]

You did not show which color wire from the crossover connects with the + of the tweeter connection you cut off. Also You did not show which end of the crossover wire goes to the tweeter OR which end connects to the signal coming in from the head unit.

[@L_chang90]

Is there a link for the tweeters bracket?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

I added a few different sizes in the description!

Thank you
