    I have a question. I'm going to buy the Taco Tunes 5 channel amp. Does it have RCA inputs as I'm running an Alpine head unit. Thanks in advance.

    Don't buy it. It's cheap Chinese crap.

    Do they sell a harness that goes from the amp to the speaker harness?

    Does anyone else make a harness? I think their harness only fits their amp.

    Yeah. You might need to buy adapters depending on the amp you use. I'll take a pic of what I got.

    Just buy a decent 5-channel amp and be done with it.
    TT stuff is cheap rebranded shit.

    Get a 5 channel because even if you have no intention of wanting a sub, you're going to eventually want a sub..
    Run 3 pairs of RCA cables from the HU, or buy an amp that will feed the sub off a 4 channel input like mine does.
    I ran 3 pr of RCAs..

    Amp is Alpine PDX V-9

    What brands are good? I was looking at a Polk Audio and a Precision Power.

    JL Audio, Pioneer, Alpine, Infinity…

    nothing wrong with Polk that am aware of. Not familiar with Precision Power.

    If you can afford it, JL Audio.
    Although I've been happy with my Alpine..

    The updated version of my PDX V-9..

    Alpine X-A90V X-Series 5-channel car amplifier — 75 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms + 500 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms at Crutchfield


    @AZBoatHauler JL RD900/5 is a good choice.

    JL Audio RD900/5 5-channel car amplifier — 70 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms + 500 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms at Crutchfield


    If $$ are plentiful, JL Audio HD Series HD900/5 is a nice choice.

    I second the JL Audio HD 900/5. It's an excellent amplifier, with some fantastic features, and bullet proof. I haven't hooked it up in my Tundra, yet, but I had it in my Silverado for almost 5 years. Outstanding amp, used in many stereo competition vehicles, by some of the very top competitors. Of course, don't spend the money on the amp and cheap out elsewhere. You'd be throwing money out the window. You need a quality head unit, speakers, wiring, sound deadening, and installation.

    Wow, I just saw today's price. It was a few hundred dollars less expensive in 2017.

    I will preface this with the fact that I do understand some of the hate for Taco tunes……but I have their amp and harness and have been very pleased with the performance. It is plug and play and very easy to dial in. They were accommodating to my requests for assistance and help and answered the phone / talked me through an issue that I had during setup.
