0:53, Metra wiring kit will work and doesn't require you to butcher anything lexus related. 1:06 The group of speaker wires you're referring to is for the head units built in amplifier which is a max of about 40-50w to drive your speakers assuming you don't want to run an amplifier... (Lexus comes factory with 280w/200w between Nak and Pioneer) 1:11 you don't need to by-pass the amplifier if you don't want too and be budget friendly, you just need to trigger the amplifier on and you do that with the power antenna wire on the Metra harness. If you by-pass your amplifier you simply de-pin the connector the amplifier is connected to and run your new amplifier in same location or the rear deck lid but the wiring will correspond to all the speakers in the car thus no reason to run new wiring because copper doesn't degrade like the components in your old amplifier does. Your sub woofer can hold a new 10" sub woofer when you remove the old speaker and use speaker rings to get everything centred. If you run your original amplifier you can just upgrade your sub woofer to a dual coil and wire it parallel. I insulated my deck lid and it doesn't rattle. you can buy a 400W Marine waterproof amplifier ($50 on Amazon rn) that will funny enough not short if you place it in the stock location where they usually short out because the sun roof drains back up and can pool water up in the rear quarter and splash into the amplifier.
Hey, first off love the editing. Had me laughing out when it wasn't powering on at first haha. I'm also wiring up my 2000 SC300. What wires did you use for the antenna and which ones for the sub?
@@JonathanMai yeah I have a sub out, but what to I wire that to? I know I need the RCA to speaker wire pair, but don't know what 2 wires to run it to. Thanks!
I was about to ask if you’re in WA state because 1. Your neighborhood looks like the north end and 2. homie looked like he was habesha 😂 I got 3 SCs I’m building/working on, this vid is gonna be mad helpful!
That would've been smart but the forum I read said that I should not be using a metra harness because it won't work. Would it be smart to use the metra harness and probe off of it, yes. Too late for that now haha.
@@Yash-jo8hv Not sure what you are asking lolol. I just like knowing how everything works so it got me into cars. Friends had cool cars and I wanted a cool car too
I have a sc400 as well, I wouldn’t figure out how to install and wire everything sense there was 0 videos on how to thank you !
I didn't do the best explaining everything but if you have questions, message me on IG!

Bro ur editing is on point 🔥🔥 keep at it bro!
You are appreciated :D
Nice keep the sc alive and clean

I totally skipped the antenna I believe, and for the sub, there should be an RCA output you use.

Why not use the metra harness so you wouldn’t have to cut the factory harness?
That would've been smart but the forum I read said that I should not be using a metra harness because it won't work.
Would it be smart to use the metra harness and probe off of it, yes. Too late for that now haha.
whats the link for the carplay you installed?
funny how most of us sc300 owners have been on that forum for the radio wiring for a few hours !!
G wat u do for a living?
How old u r?
Where u learn how to do all this?
What u recommend for someone trying to get into stuff like this? (Cars)
TH-cam university is where it is at. Learned a lot of stuff there, and read a lot on forums
Not TH-cam boss. I’m not interested in that I’m talking about working on cars.
@@Yash-jo8hv Not sure what you are asking lolol. I just like knowing how everything works so it got me into cars. Friends had cool cars and I wanted a cool car too

eBay
Damn chulo. You sound be a hand model with those chulo manos 🥵🥵

What radio bracket did you use
Do you have to wire all the speakers directly to the deck or can you install the deck like any other car?
All the wires are connected to the deck
@@JonathanMai so you have to hard wire all speakers to the deck?
@@2jkaten948 yes
Hey I had the same problem with the wiring can you let me know how you did it I’m stuck with my car apart 😂
