Yea sounds like a harness would be a good option then to ensure the laptop charging can keep up with the demand.
I can't speak for long term safety of overriding Toyotas engineering, but up to 400watts isn't much power load to add on 24/7 and the circuit is already designed to support it in park.
I don't think you would need over 100w for a laptop unless it was a gaming one, you can check the wattage of the laptop power brick to be sure. If you planned on having more things plugged in while driving then yes the anytime kit would be beneficial.

Here is a bypass harness for the 6th gen 4runner. https://caliraisedled.com/products/toyota-interior-outlet-upgrade-kit-by-guild-outfitters-1
In this case go with the 8". It should move more air than the 6x9 and circular speakers usually produce a more accurate sound than the oval equivalent models.. Just be sure to get a good mounting plate to cover the gaps. It sounds like you have those skills already.
Try getting the woofers off ebay seperately? If you didn't toss the boxes for the dash speakers, return them and do it the right way.
You really don't want 2 or three way speakers in the doors when you have dash speakers.
Its a safety feature, not sure the trigger but I think the hatch position loses memory somehow and that is the only way to reset the memory. Maybe leaving the hatch open too long after tuning the car off.
This just dropped on YouTube.
NON JBL ONLY! - 2025+ Toyota 4Runner Audio Upgrade: AudX Plug & Play 5-Channel Amp Kit

One downside is the amplifier is not a DSP, so you cannot do time alignment or any advanced configurations.
Gone are the days of head unit swap outs and slapping amps in. Every modern car is integrated and has custom screens built into the dash that are not replaceable.
I like the bass knob, I would have put mine on the left of the wheel however. Sound deadening makes a huge difference! And now you have a solid foundation to build on in the future.
People are overcomplicating what these Beat-Sonic devices actually do. They're basically line drivers in this ENA-2T3\ENA-3T3 configuration: they increase the signal voltage going into the oem amplifier.
This doesn't magically add clarity, detail, or resolution. The factory JBL system already...
Still need a harness to T off the factory amp to send signal to the speakers, optional SOS fix, and voice\chimes. Lots of that is generated from the factory amp not the head unit. Something to keep in mind just the PAC device does not tick all the boxes. You would then have to mix those extra...
Crutchfield has removed the MATCH UP 8BMW MK2 as a compatible dsp amplifier?
I may go the Orella route down the road, and then their speaker kit if ever released. If they don't release a kit then the 12 speaker 8" Alpine kit from Trail Grid Pro looks like a small upgrade, with a DSP retune.
I checked my gas ORP earlier today and it idled as high as 14.1 volts. Not sure if that DC to DC charger you have can boost voltages or operates as a standard buck (step down) convertor. May have to look at a higher Victron model that supports boosting voltages or replace the lithium battery...
I tapped into the blank bottom right fuse for 12v ignition. Had to do the same cutting to make sure the kick panel was not knocking the tap out. This was for a BantamX IGN input but this thread was helpful. Thank you!
