Where did you get the SP level input cable that goes into the amp? I got the same Kenwood amp but it didn't come with the cable in the box. Great vid btw
I had a so called profesional upgrade my tacomas audio system a few years ago. When it stopped working I took it apart to check it out and what a mess! It looked like a rookie install, a ton of mistakes and poor quality work. So I decided to fix it myself, I ripped it all out and started over, your video provided a lot of useful information and really saved me a lot of time and frustration with this project. Great video, You have earned a new subscriber.
Hey provo beast audio, or whoever is the man in the videos! I got my avionics degree last year and learned all about wiring and sine waves. It got me into a new hobby of car audio. I used one where you worked on a Tahoe to install my system. Now I watch your videos for entertainment
Hey buddy, It's Chris (the man behind the curtain). I'm a one man show, so I appreciate the good words of encouragement. Glad you like the content! Cheers!
I wish these fancy factory radios came with RCA outputs already 🤦🏻 This was really helpful, as soon as they drop a 4x 6.5 woofer box for the 24 I'll be revisiting this 👌
Excellent video! I followed it to the T and love this setup. The tweeters that come with the 6x9’s are bigger now but I was able to trim and fit. I highly recommend the bass knob. Thanks
How crazy I just bought this amp and need more info on a 5 channel. im amazed to see i dont need to use the rca cables. this video really helped me understand the install also bought the plate for it to... thanks again
Great video and coincidentally it's the same stock audio system as my tacoma. I'm currently trying to fit a small 5 channel amp in the empty space behind the radio so I don't have to run the wires back and forth. I'm going to place the sub under the passenger seat in a custom enclosure
Really nice install, perfectly narrated. I noticed that you didn't use an aftermarket waterproof firewall grommet, was it because it was just easier to do so or was the customer on a budget?
To anyone who has used this amp and connected it this way - is your volume loud? My music sounds clear but I kinda expected a little higher volume, but with the amp dialed in Immy speakers and sub are not that loud. I installed this amp and a 10” jl in a stealthbox and infinity primus 6x9s in the front and infinity reference speakers in the rear.
Hi, thanks for sharing this good video. Question do you know if there’s a Kicker amp with the same option as the Keendwood amp so i can use the same cables you’re using to power my door speakers and 2 10” subs?
Great tutorial 👌🏾 quick question how is the 2019 tacoma Red wolf harness set up looks like I just ordered it do I just use the speaker wires and connect the rest of the wire together?
any chance you have a video or diagram explaining how to modify the harness for the Tacoma 2016 System?, I bought recommended links so I have the same componends w/ the red wolf harness 2016
Great video! I am confused by the LOC set up. I want to get an amp that will amp all my 2020 Tacoma speakers plus add a sub. Do I need a 5 channel LOC and a 5 channel amp? I currently have the cheap 2 channel LOC ‘add an amp’. But something tells me I can’t use that with a 5 channel amp. I’m so confused.
Man! This is a great video and a super clean install. I want to do this same thing (almost) to my 21 4Runner. I have already replaced all of the OEM speakers with Kenwood Excelon. Question; keeping the OEM head unit, how could I do this with an under seat powered sub and 4 channel amp instead? I'm not in to heavy bass and don't want a large sub enclosure in my cargo area. Thanks!
Thank you for the video. Quick question my 2023 Taco does not have a JBL system but it does have Navigation so that means that I do not have an amplifier?
Looks great! I just received the same box but purchased the Skar Very Shallow mount sub, however the sub is still too deep. My question, did the comp RT fit without modification to the box? For the Skar VS-10 D2 to fit I would need to add a trim ring around the sub to lift it up about a 3/8''. Would like to find a sub that required no modification. Thanks in advance!
Thank you for the video, love the step by step! One question, that blue signal wire was connected on the out put side via t-tap, and I noticed you said it doesn’t need it on both sides so does that mean on the input side I can just leave off/not connect the blue wire and kinda cap it off? Or does it still need to be connected on that side of the harness to going into the amp. Thanks!
This amp "should" turn itself on without the use of the blue wire as it has a signal sense feature. Some amps don't have that feature, so you'd connect the blue wire to the remote input of the amp and the other end to the manual connection behind the radio for accessory.
The tacoma comes with 6 speakers including the tweeters. Does the 4 channel amp cover all six speakers? Trying to find wiring schematic to see if the tweeters are standalone or if they feed from the front speakers. Thank you :)
We try and apply techniques for anyone using any type of amp. Yes, the Kenwood can turn itself on, however, not ever viewer will use that exact amp.@@bbogue4
I installed everything just like in this video but only difference is that I bought the harness for the 2016-2020 harness for my 2018 Tacoma, but the radio won’t turn on! What’s happening can someone explain me please!
I'm looking for help, I talked to a lot of my local audio shops with no solution. I have a 2017 Tacoma and I copied your build in the video. My rear door speakers are still way quieter than the fronts even after having my amp tuned. Did you notice the same thing if so how did you fix it? Thank you and keep up the great videos!
@@ProvoBeastAudio Please please respond to this thread, I know myself and many other Tacoma owners would appreciate it. I have the same kicker ks speakers as @countryboy023 and am having the same issue.
Is there anything additional you need to do on this amplifier for the subwoofer channel to work when using the high-level input connector like you did on this install? when running the four channels of power from the radio to the high-level input, the subwoofer channel will work?
Hi, thanks for sharing your videos. Question for you. is there a Rockford Fosgate or Kicker Amp that has the same options as the Keenwood 5 channel amp.?
I really enjoy your videos, very detailed easy to understand. Quality content. I just got myself a 23’ SR5 and I’m going to upgrade the speakers. Mind you, I am an absolute amateur when it comes to all of this audio system wiring and what not. I’ve always had models with whatever available premium factory audio. I was eyeing the JL stealth box but thanks to you I’ve really been looking into and am impressed with the Skar custom fitted box. This video you’ve made is practically a diy step by step installation video. Can you clarify with me, when you add an amp (as you do in this setup) for the sub does that amp in turn power the door speakers as well? You make this look a lot easier then I had imagined, would like to do this myself. Thanks!
Hey there thanks! Yes, this 5 channel amplifier powers all interior speakers and the subwoofer, one amp to power it all. 4 channels power the front / rear / dash speakers, and 5th channel power the sub.
I’m thinking about getting into installing car audio systems… I’ve installed a few radios and really enjoy that sort of stuff. Any tips on how to start that as a career?
amazing video and i have a question....I just had a group install a system into my 2023 taco. There is a constant buzzing noise when there is no music playing. I'm assuming you did not have any buzzing when you were done with your build. they keep blaming it on the fact that it is a factory radio. I'm calling bullshit but idk enough about it to question, hence, why i had a "professional " install it. Is there really anything that i can do? already tried a ground loup isolator. You can slightly hear a higher pitch when accelerating and when the windshield wipers are on, you can hear an amplified squeel sound. Ik its probably impossible to diagnose without actually seeing the truck, but, any ideas i may be able to look at would be a great help. The only thing thats a major difference is i have a 4 channel amp for the doors and the sub is an 8 inch sub amp combo.
I have a 2023 taco with the original speakers and radio and I hear a buzzing noise when there’s no music playing so there’s a chance it could just be the factory radio
Thanks for the video! I installed this amp yesterday. I just have one weird thing - the sub only works if I switch the sub/ab switch to ab. If I switch it to sub it cuts the cub off completely. Any idea what could cause this?
Yes because you are not supplying the amplifier a dedicated sub input signal. Since this is a high level input consisting of only 4 channels of input, we still need to generate an input for the sub, so that switch tells the amp to pull that sub signal from the other 4 channels A/B.
I want to use Pac APH-TY04 Speaker Connection Harness to bypass my factory JBL amp (2017 Tacoma). Once I connect the 10 pin and 12 pin from the harness to factory harness what wires do I connect to my amp? What do I do with the unuse wires coming from the harness?
Question? If a amplifier put out say 75 to 100 watts rms iis the factor speaker wire able to handle this power or should we go with a thicker guage wire? (Lets also say we also upgraded the factory speakers to speakers that also handle 75-100 rms.) Thanks
Maybe you can help me here I’m trying to do some research and I can’t find anything. I have my amp hooked up to the line input on that same amplifier. How do I add an epicenter since I’m not running RCA to the radio
I just bought this sub with the preinstalled subwoofer but I have an amp that only has 4 ohm and 2 ohm connections, the sub is pre wired to a 1 OHM connection. Is it possible to rewire this to 4 OHM so that way I can use my 5 channel amp and power my doors as well, without having to get a mono amp or a different amp?
For a JBL equipped Taco, do you know if the Kenwood x802-5 would be able to mount within the factory JBL amp space behind the rear passenger seat? Also, if the HU has already been replaced with an Alpine Halo9 HU, would an Amp Pro LOC be necessary?
Hey I have everything you bought but I have the jbl version and I can’t figure out where to go from the connectors the connector harness I bought had so many extra wires for speakers that plugs into the jbl amp but idk what goes where I need help
Very nice! Is there any reason why the owner went with the X802-5 as opposed to the XR901-5? Those are the two amps I’ve been looking at myself so I was super stoked to see an install with that amp, especially a new install. 👍
Hello question so if I wanted to to a different sub and box with this setup to sit on the seat like a 12” with a decent size box would the amp know not to blow out the speakers in the doors when I push it hard? That’s all I’m a little confused about
Hello. How did the sound in rear speaker sound? In my Toyota the rear sound from headunit its wery low and Almost no bass. And amplyfy that weak signal just get louder ?,,, but still no bass ? Right. ??
I have a 23 trd pro tacoma with the standard jbl. So there is a built in amp somewhere? What if I just want to replace all the door speakers and do nothing else, what is one of the best speakers to buy?
I just ran a 5 channel amp to my truck but I get a hissing sound from my speakers. Maybe it’s a terrible ground location. I’ll try to tap on to the factory ground you showed. Do you have any hissing?
You don't, i mean you could use the bass adjustment on the radio. Outside of that, there is no easy adjustment without the knob. Kenwood sells it for $35 on amazon.
@@ProvoBeastAudio thank you so much for the reply! Subscribed and will definitely be watching more of your channel. One of the most professional audio technicians on YT!
Will that t harness work on my Sony 9500 es head unit? And if so would I still keep the hi res audio from the Sony 9500 if I hook up at 4 channel amp. I jus want to boost the power
If you have a an aftermarket radio, you won’t need t harness - instead just run rca cables from the radio to the amp, and speaker output from the amp to the radio harness adapter.
Sandwich technique! leftover ABS i snuck under the carpet for where i can drill into, sandwiching the carpet between both panels with a few screws. DO NOT drill through the floor of the truck.
I did my system using factory radio can you tell me why I lost back up camera and the microphone says disconnected is the wires for the microphone and camera are they located in the factory head unit
That amp does 550 Watts @ 2 ohms, so if you wanted two 12" subs, you'd want a pair that will wire to a final impedance of 2 ohms, and around 300 watts RMS each. It just depends on what vehicle, subwoofer box, etc is being used to know what sub combination would be best for your amp.
Parts used linked in the description of the video!
Is there any way you could do a video on the actual JBL system, on how to upgrade the amp and sub please?
Thank you very much But how about the tweeters are they connected to the harness to the amplifier ??? Thank you very much
Where did you get the SP level input cable that goes into the amp? I got the same Kenwood amp but it didn't come with the cable in the box. Great vid btw

At 19:40 it looks like we have a pretty good view of some black sheet metal screws. But I could be wrong.

Great Install! I have a question? do the front dash speakers still remain Functional? do they still get signal from the Factory head Unit or amp ?
Great Question????
for the t harness- you can just get an add amp reciever and splice it onto there. makes it a whole lot easier to set it up
I just saw a professional, I congratulate you, very good video and well explained. I would like to know where you are located.🎉

Try turning your amplifier input gains down.
I have a light hiss, I ended up turning down the gains and it did the trick
How much for this on a 2024 Tacoma
How is that sub and box compared to a JL stealthbox?
About a grand cheaper.
how do you adjust the bass of the subwoofer without a dial
You don't, i mean you could use the bass adjustment on the radio. Outside of that, there is no easy adjustment without the knob. Kenwood sells it for $35 on amazon.

Thanks, where would you install the bass knob I have the same truck@@ProvoBeastAudio
Can you still close the back seat with the skar box installed? I don’t want to have to start cutting plastic
Absolutely.
@@ProvoBeastAudio thank you so much for the reply! Subscribed and will definitely be watching more of your channel. One of the most professional audio technicians on YT!
What speakers are you using with the amp in the front and rear doors?
Videos with those speakers are linked in the description!
Will that t harness work on my Sony 9500 es head unit? And if so would I still keep the hi res audio from the Sony 9500 if I hook up at 4 channel amp.
I jus want to boost the power
If you have a an aftermarket radio, you won’t need t harness - instead just run rca cables from the radio to the amp, and speaker output from the amp to the radio harness adapter.
Do kicker comp r fit on this enclosure or is it rt
Did everything and followed step by step,yet the sub is not powering up or responding. Any idea why?
Same same here just did this exact install
How did you mount the amp to the floor under the seat?
Sandwich technique! leftover ABS i snuck under the carpet for where i can drill into, sandwiching the carpet between both panels with a few screws. DO NOT drill through the floor of the truck.
I did my system using factory radio can you tell me why I lost back up camera and the microphone says disconnected is the wires for the microphone and camera are they located in the factory head unit
i have a jbl club 5501 and i need too know which two 12inch subwoofers would work best pls help
That amp does 550 Watts @ 2 ohms, so if you wanted two 12" subs, you'd want a pair that will wire to a final impedance of 2 ohms, and around 300 watts RMS each. It just depends on what vehicle, subwoofer box, etc is being used to know what sub combination would be best for your amp.
If my new head unit has RCA jacks can I use those instead of speaker wires
Of course
Is an optima battery recommended for this application?
Any healthy battery, and certainly an upgraded AGM would be beneficial. Your factory electrical, on a health battery can support this fine.
Is it safe to have 1500 watts going through those stock door wires
Each channel puts out 60-75watt rms. So you’re not putting 1500watts through any one wire.
Can you please give me some info on how that subwoofer and box are making out? It is sold out but I wanna get it when it comes back in stock
You have to buy them separately. Skar doesn’t make speakers that fit in that box
