Heads-Up for Anyone Upgrading a Non-JBL Audio System (SR5)
Just finished upgrading the entire sound system in my SR5 (non-JBL), and I wanted to share a few tips that might save others some time and hassle.
I had to reorder brackets and speaker harnesses because there wasn’t much reliable info online—I was basically guessing as I went. So if you're planning a similar upgrade, here’s what I did:
Radio speaker output harness (to aftermarket amp or loc) - You can find these at several sites but I bought the Amazon Red Wolf 10 pin one for $14 then used some speed wire to run to amp.
Dash Tweeter - 2.75 - 3.5 (I installed a 2.75 but gutting the original tweeter) / Harness - 72-8109
Front Door - 6x9 - Harness - 72-8109 / Bracket - Metra 82-8146 w/ some minor modifications using a drill. 3 out of 4 holes lined up, had to use drill to line up last hole.
Rear Door - 6.5 - Harness - 72-8109 / Bracket - Metra 82-8148 perfect fit.

- Replaced all factory speakers
- Installed an aftermarket amp and subs
