Stock amp in GT - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #92763 8 posts Started by r3ck0n1ng
Hi guys,

I took off the centre gearlevel gaitor to clean and refit and couldn't help but notice this in there:



Is it the stock GT amp everyone talks about, or is it an after-market unit? I can't seem to find any pictures on any other threads!
Definitely aftermarket.

That's how I want to do mine is there a how to on here for taking the oem amp out?

Its a pain. I left mine in place, and just spliced the wiring. Taking it out of service.

It's been on for quite a while, never had any problems. Its only 300watts so i really doubt heat will be an issue, especially since it only powers the two rear speakers...

I don't want to just splice the wiring, I want to do away with it entirely and run all new wiring for the speakers directly in to the head unit.

Same thing but even better.

I just put in a new radio and I don't think I have an amp in my GT or else wouldn't it have caused issues?
