(Home) Rear speakers connections

Now I have fitted a new stereo and dvd system I am about to fit some rear speakers to my 1992 hiace. The wiring connectors for rear speakers are fitted in the dash, but as there are no rear speakers fittnot tell where these wires go to. Does anyone know where they might end? If I can't trace them I'll just have to run new cables buth that seems a shame if Toyota have already installed all the cabling for me!

Hi Jason,
On the supercustoms the rear speakers are fitted one each side - bridging the join between the 2 lower panels (just in front of inner wheelarch, under the seperating window post)

When I took out the original JAP radio I bought a UK standard Toyota to ISO adapter which at first would not fit and could not trace the speaker cables.

After several hours or stairing into the big hole in the dash wondering what to do, I noticed two connectors that were an exact match for the cable I had bought. I seperated the connectors and installed the adaptor into that side that fitted. Bingo I could plug the ISO radio in and trace the read speakers direct from that.

I think the original radio used something called active AMP, but all working OK.

The active amp provides the intercom on mine so i can't afford to lose it else the family and I will be shouting at each other, I have yet to pluck up the courage to do mine.

I have my wagon on the yahoo site group photos page.

Mine has "Joyful Talk" and even tho I've changed the radio it still works !

Thanks for the help - I too have connected into the connections behind the dash - it is the other end of these wires I was looking for! I'll take a look at the yahoo site and see where this is - I preseumed the correct place was in the side panels just behind the side door where there is a squaer flat recessed panel - it looks just perfect for speakers!

Ah, Slight misunderstanding. My Hiace already has rear speakers in the location you mention just behind the side door and directly opposite.

There is some information on the archives and at http://www.installdr.com/Harnesses/Toyota-Wiring.pdf
That should help you.
