The FJ got Tunes Today

Today I installed an Amplifier and speakers in the FJ40. I wanted to leave the stock AM radio in the dash for looks so I got creative. It turns out that the stock speaker for the stock stereo was in the glove box, behind the black box in picture 1. Considering this is a lousy place for a speaker, it made a great place for a small amplifier. I swapped the speaker for the amp, and connected a jack for my Ipod. I then installed two speakers in the back facing forward. The result is a stereo that connects to my Ipod, with no disruption to the look of the dash. In fact if you looked in the glove box you wont even see the amp because of the black speaker cover!
