How to replace the Factory JBL woofer in a Toyota 4Runner

How to replace the Factory JBL woofer in a Toyota 4Runner

in this video we take out and replace a factory JBL 8″ sub. This is a common problem with Toyota speakers, the dry rot and loss the surround. Pioneer makes a great replacement speaker for these installs the Ts-SW2002D2. The new woofer has many mounting options to use the factory screws, but sometime you still has to make new holes. You can find the woofer here or your local Pioneer dealer.

HK DEE says:

hey 5 car guy, i got a 2003 4 runner with a bunk sub-woofer. i tried to install another one and same problem (barely any sound) the one i installed is a rockford fosgate sub. but i notice that the amplifier is getting hot and the voltage in the output wires is less that 0.75 volts whether speaker is on or removed. any clue if its the amp system ?? and how do i identify the wiring color codes ??

Vom Matador Rottweilers says:

do you recommend that pioneer, over a rockford? and do they have similar warranties?

Vom Matador Rottweilers says:

I appreciate you guys commenting back

where are you guys located

Carl Miller says:

Wow – I'll echo the others; what a pain in the patoot.  I'll either farm it out or use my Bluetooth Sony speaker and phone.

Where can I get the sub you guys put in

Alex Dimitry says:

If you were replacing your dash speakers and door speakers but keeping the factory head unit and amp, what would you choose? Also, how would you add an extra amp to add additional power to this sub?

Dr. Sean Woodward says:

Thank you for the video…my speaker will stay blown.

Cheryl Griego says:

Great video and information but all I did to get to my sub-woofer was to pop out the plastic panel (it is direct above the wheel well and looks like a pistol profile).  The clips might break off but it is way easier to replace the clips than to take everything apart.  I am not sure if your Toyota has this panel but mine did.

Wow, what a PITA! Thanks for sharing! I'd definitely farm that job out…

MXSLICK says:

its a shame jbl cheaped out on the material. they made some of the best factory speakers in the earlier toyotas

Dylan Stewart says:

Just did this this replacement a couple of hours ago and this video was very helpful.

Didn't have any trouble with finding the + and – because I could see the symbols on the old and new subwoofer terminals.

Instead of snipping the wires, I kept the end pieces intact by just tearing the plastic housing off. Then I used some pliers to narrow the end pieces enough to fit perfectly inside the new woofer's terminals.

I didn't replace the amp, but man does that bass sound a heck of a lot better. I've been riding around with a blown subwoofer for almost half a year.

Thanks again for the video! Yal saved me a lot of money!

how deep is the factory box?

Mr_ Barberfit says:

How did wire your sub ? One wire one side on the red and one on the black on the other side ?

Rafael Borja says:

hi there I love you videos I have a question for you my daughter has a Toyota 4×4 I like to put a whole system into the car what would you recommend

Charles Mowa says:

isnt there one subwoofer on each side of the 4runner? or just 1 in total?

Marj Nap says:

My 2007 4 Runner just started having an issue with the subwoofer. Is there an easier way to just disconnect it?

James Williams says:

Sorry to keep coming with the questions but would the factory amp need to be replaced to justify using a 600W 8" Sub?? (Kicker 43CWRT82 COMPRT8 600w 8" DVC 2-Ohm Slim Shallow Car Subwoofer) Am I gonna see any benefit using this caliber of a sub with the factory amp?

Thank you kindly

To get that stupid square thing out of the carpet, you just push really hard on each of the tabs inside until they click. Took me a while to figure out.

OrganikSecrets says:

Is there really no way possible to pop out the smaller panel thats inside the one you took out?
