    I bought these a few days ago. They're for the new Camrys, but look like they fit the connector for the rear speaker. I prefer to use adapters before cutting the factory connectors off.

    Same issue here. I was looking at the same ones from Taco tunes, but they were too expensive. I'll let you know if the ebay ones work. They seem to be the same thing for half the cost. I also ordered the kickers from crutchfield today. They have a good discount going on. The kicker tweeters also have 10% off at Bam. Got a set for $82.

    Taco tunes does make the factory plug in play harness for the speakers. Got in contact with them yesterday seeing as I was caught off guard by the change and they have them just have to specificy in the notes when ordering

    They'll come with the wrong connectors for the rear speakers for the 2020. They don't have the correct ones yet.

    These adapters from Ebay work perfectly. A bit more than I wanted to spend, but half the price of the ones from Taco Tunes.

    All speakers a now upgraded to the Kicker CS 6x9s, 6.75s and Kicker Subaru tweeters. Actually makes the 2020 head unit sound really good.

    I installed mine yesterday. Kicker CS for the front and back + Kicker Subaru tweeters. I used the ebay harness adapters for the back speakers and everything fit correctly. I can confirm what @bluedevils9 mentioned. The front speakers use the same connector as the pre-2020 tacomas. The rear ones are the only difference.

    I just received my order from Crutchfield today. I am installing essentially the same speakers you did and Tech Support at Crutchfield said they currently do not stock a harness for the rear speakers but gave me a set of "quick slides" to splice the rear wires to the rear speaker connectors. I just want to confirm that the one's you used worked okay (just didn't want to spend $16.00 unnecessarily) as I really don't want to splice. Also, how long was it from when you ordered until receipt.

    Thanks Roadkill1081...GREAT INFORMATION!

    I think they shipped from Jersey. I got them in 2 days. They fit perfect. My only gripe is they are a little short, so you'll either have to extend the wires a little bit or install the speaker upside down for the cables to reach. My OCD wouldn't allow me to install them upside down, so I ended up extending them :). Good luck with the install.

    Factory harness should define it by using an ohm meter. I would expect that of the 4 pairs of wire that 1 wire is common to 1 wire of the other pairs. I would expect to see 4 wires less than 1 ohm in an unbalanced circuit.

    The speakers I installed had a large and small tab so it would only connect 1 way. Either all the large tabs are common or all the small tabs are common.

    Thanks for the reply and pics, but the secondary reason I wanted the polarity is for powered sub speaker level input tap into the rear wires.

    Thanks

    Here is the actual Crutchfield sheet showing polarity. Small tab negative and large tab positive...

    I let my back seat passengers know they are listening to upside down audio! They say they can't hear the difference. LOL!

    Thanks for your help I'll see what I get from Cruchfield since I hear they don't have correct connectors for 2020 rear speakers
