Built-in amp radio, infos plz Options

[dudeofchaos]

Previous owner removed the radio and amp from the car. I suck with electric stuff and correct me if I'm wrong but installing the Oem amp requires to take part of the center console apart.
I've heard of an Oem radio that had a built-in amplifier. Could I just simply get this model and simply bolt it, connect it and voilà? Or am I missing something?

Anyone knows of this model, is there only one kind of radio with this built-in amp?

If this works it'd save me up a lot of troubles.

Thanks!

Any after market head unit has a built-in amplifier. That's what the 50W x 4 refers to. The one thing about our cars is that they have 6 or 8 speakers where most head units only support 4 speakers without an external amplifier which is what the 8 speaker stereo has. You can still make an 8 speaker stereo work off a regular head unit though

"Taking the centre console apart" is just unclipping the centre trim piece starting at the shifter and working your way up (for a normal radio install). You can get stock Celica HU's that have all the amplification built-in to run the 6 speaker system - mine was. It is very hard to say how much effort it would be to rewire, as it is hard to know when hack-job the previous owner has done.... when I changed mine out I used an adapter harness so that I didn't cut my stock wiring, but almost all installers will just cut and shut.

You said OEM amp - was this specifically a look you were after? Because, as Sinyk said, you can just stick any cheap aftermarket head unit in and it'll do the job.

I'm into OEM stuff, I hate aftermarket radios. I'd much rather have the stock head unit with the stock amp (or both in 1). My other Celica had a stock system and I loved it.
Last time I checked, it seemed to be a pita to reach where the amp sits. Anyways, I might get it installed.
At least I know it can work. Now I just need to know how to rewire, Idk if the plug will fit.
There is currently nothing in the car, no radio nor amp and wires.
