Sub and amp wiring

Any ideas on how to wire a sub and amp. Just looking for tips on the back of the radio and running wire to battery

 

Crutchfield was always my resource for information like that, thier customer support is extremely knowledgeable

 

Thank you

5 star car stereo tundra youtube is what used they are pretty good

 

Crutchfield. My system, Non JBL, has the factory amp under the front passenger seat. Thats where I did my connections..Kicker Amp, Bazooka powered subwoofer..

 

Can the factory Amps handle a single 12in sub. I have a 2017 sr5. Nothin fancy

 

The factory amp belongs in the garbage. It puts out like 20 watts of junk signal.

 

It’s a 25w sub. Just wanting to know if I can splice into it or not

 

What sub?

 

It’s a pioneer I believe.

 

You need a real amp. Anyone telling you otherwise is wasting your time/money. You can get a 5 channel amp to send power everywhere or a mono channel to just run the sub - but you’ll want hundreds of watts RMS to a sub.

 

Okay. How hard is it to replace the factory amp with an aftermarket amp

 

Read those first two threads I linked. You’ll need to decide if you’re going to do a LOC or change the head unit.

 

Well I’m keeping my head unit. For one but two I can’t make sense of anything I read on those two threads

 

The head unit is junk honestly. If you're not heavy into audio then it's no big deal. But since you are wanting to put in a sub, the door and dash speakers are going to sound horrible, especially if they remain stock. You will need an LOC as mentioned if you are dead set on keeping the stock head unit.

 

This is what I used, Huge improvement over stock amps under the seat.
