I have an 04 sport with a non jbl stereo it seems like there might be an amp somewhere it sounds good for factory. I want to disconnect the factory amp and get a better amp to drive my infinity perfects components. I am also installing a dvd player JVC with the factory controls.

I rather doubt that there is a factory amp with the standard radio set up in 2004.

With search I found this......may or may not help.

I would normally doubt it but I am almost sure there is a factory amp or they have the best factory system I have heard. I read that post in my search and couldnt actually find the location in any of my reading I was hoping someone would know.

No one else?

There might be an amp behind the radio dash as I see a diagram with an amp for Part Number: 8865042130 (fits RAV4 - 2001 to 2005)

#8865042130: Toyota. AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY, AIR CONDITIONER, No.1. AMPLIFIER

I left mine there when I installed my Pioneer radio. There was a bunch of wires from the back of the factory radio which I wonder what it was for. The wiring harness connects to two of the wires but another set of wires had to be for the amp. I do not have a JBL radio so it is not a JBL amp. You can judge for yourself.

No, sorry, that is the controller for the automatic climate control system. I don't know why Toyota calls it an amplifier, it has nothing to do with audio.

There is no separate amp for the standard (non-JBL) radio.

I know it's an old post but replacing my stock radio in 2010 RAV4, I think the amp for factory radio is within the head unit itself as the back of the unit is like a heatsink. I could be wrong. Lol
