Taco Tunes Connection Help

Forgive me if this is a relatively dumb question, but I have no experience with wiring of aftermarket speakers.

I bought this tundra used, and the previous owner had a Taco Tunes system installed. The red wire shown somehow came detached from the battery, so now the bass sounds as if the speaker is blown out if it’s barely hanging on, and if it’s completely detached then you only hear sound from the truck speaker on the center of the dash.

If anyone has any ideas on how this should properly be reconnected, I’d be really thankful for the help.

 

Strip the end and crimp another o-ring connector on it.
Be sure to heat-shrink it as well.

Looks to be about a 4 ga or 8 ga wire.
It should say on the wire what gauge it is.

A crimping tool would be best if you have one.

EDIT: Looks like the battery line is 4ga according to the TT website.
That should be the 13' power wire

 

That might do the trick thank you

 

Just to add. I went with these battery terminals to separate the ring terminals.

while you are there, clean up them posts! before they get worse!

 

Sure, and welcome to the forum..

I second @Shanet421 (nice clamp) suggestion on a proper post clamp, although it depends on how much slack is in the cable.
Don't know why I didn't think of it before but you wouldn't need a crimper at all with a different clamp.

I use this one.

My POS post used to look like yours..

 

Yeah that’s really helpful @1lowlife
I think having the different post clamp would simplify things and be more functional. Thanks for the link I’ll check that out
