91 4Runner - Radio Swap with Newer Toyota???

I know that my 91 4runner uses both high and low level outputs as the rear
speakers are self powered 5inch units. I had to rewire mine to fit an
aftermarket unit. Easy job and added a Toyta factory pocket below the singel
din (cheaper than double din) unit. Cost was stuff all compared and sounds
waaaaay better.
BTW I went the Alpine road. Single in dash and stacker in glove box.

Hmm... never had to re-wire my 93 4runner. I originally had a stock unit,
which is now in my 86 HomeDepot beater pickup ( I had to update the
connectors in my 86). I had a open factory pocket, but my co-worker
upgraded his stock radio in his Paseo, which had a factory pocket also,
which he gave to me. The cool thing about the Paseo factory pocket, it had
a door. I installed a Sony head unit with a 10 disk changer in the rear
side panel of the cargo area. Though my Sony only put out 22w per channel,
it was more than enough to power the under powered stock speakers.
