Attached is the diagram of what I intend to do.
It's pretty straight forward...
Factory HU, Factory Amp (6 disc, 6 speaker, under seat amp) adding an older aftermarket amp (alpine MRVF400) and for now a couple old 8" bazooka tubes I keep tripping over in my garage (Q-logic soon)
It will not be a boom box, but should sound pretty good considering it is interfaced with a factory system.
I can take them out quickly too as needed.
It'll be fun to play around with series /parallel, bridged / stereo too.
My only concern:
The big one...Have any of you guys NEEDED to add noise suppression to your power lines on a tundra?
My Tacoma was BAD as far as noise was concerned. Easily fixable, but it delayed my "Clean" install a little. I'd rather get in and out and be done.
The taco was a bit different too: one large power wire to a distribution block, out of the block into filters then into the amps.
The tundy will be one wire direct to the amp. 8 ga at that.
Have I missed something with the remote turn on wire?
I was eyeballing another wire in the harness (gray) that is listed as 12v accessory. I think that one may be a switched 12v source, not radio controlled. (where’s my tester...)
The remote "ON" lead for amps typically has 12v on it when the radio is switched on, right?
