Dumb question about the OEM JBL Stereo option

**Off Camber** · 12-15-2005, 09:40 AM

I have an 03 GT with the optional JBL stereo package. Here's the dumb question: Is this a 6 speaker system or an 8 speaker system?

Some idiot decided to "upgrade" the OEM JBL head unit to an aftermarket headunit. He never did make it work but in his quest he cut the factory harness plugs out of the car. As I am searching for a new OEM head unit and the plugs I need to restore the car to its factory condition I keep being asked if its the 6 speaker or 8 speaker stereo. It makes sense to me that it would be the 8 speaker version but I can only see 6 speakers. Can somebody share some wisdom with me?

Thnaks,

Where are the 8 speakers on the facelift GTS ?

On my Pre-faceLift GTS i've got 6 (2002)
Front mid (L+R)
Front Tweater (L+R)
Rear mid (L+R)

the Facelift GTS over here (03+) has 7 speakers Toyota have put a crappy powered 50W sub under the passanger seat.

nonnoono this is a special edition JBL package deal. Was optional, stock it comes with 6

Ah I see, so perhaps they have given 2 extra tweaters for the back passangers to make the 8 speakers and didn't bother with the sub.

The JBL upgrade option is an 8 speaker system. I'm sure of it now. Thanks to all of you for your help.
