You desc says the wolf harness works with the 2024 Tacoma. Has that been confirmed? No changes to wiring on the ‘24 Taco? Thanks!

[@Jaredius]

Thanks to your video I have my box installed! It took me a few hours. I had the Rockford 12” powered sub from a previous car, but essentially the same. I had to place it on the floor facing the rear between the front passenger and rear seats. I followed your instructions to the letter after purchasing the wolf harness and line-out converter. Eventually I will buy the 8” and swap it in behind the rear seat. For others, I set the pots on the converter halfway (arrows pointing up). 2023 Trail Ed (SR5). UPDATE: line-out converter pots set to half is too high. Pots at half I have to keep my bass knob set close to zero or it is too high. Without yet lowering the line-out converter pots, I would guess the pots should be set no higher than 1/4.

[@dougcash2766]

Did you ever set them lower?

[@Jaredius]

@@dougcash2766I did set it to 1/4 and it’s just right for my setup. The bass knob hovers at half with plenty of headroom. Also no distortion if I crank the bass knob full…just not to my liking at that level.

[@andrewbenavidez1833]

Thank you! This was a big help! He’s right about the remote wire I have a 2023 👍

[@mikebarr751]

You needed the remote wire for your 2023?

[@zigwil153]

Tape, etc. those RCAs to the LOC! I had them come off. I just taped it up. It's not pretty, but it beats no signal! Oh, and find something back in there to strap the LOC to... don't need it bouncing around (if you offroad at all.) Great vid!

[@mathematicus3141]

Thank you! Just added this to my truck. It was a perfect fit. Woot woot!

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Glad it worked out great!

[@2gunslefty]

Can the seat close?

[@dizzydownlow]

Nice. This helped a ton. Also, anyone with 2016-2017 non jbl with the white radio plugs for your wire harness youre gonna need Metra parts 70-1761 and 71-1761 Do everything else he says in the video the same way when it comes to wiring the harness and the LOC but connect these two together insetad of the one in this stereo

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Yep, it’s all listed in the description and I even provided an assembled harness linked there. Thanks

[@rogerdris3278]

Great video! I just ordered mine and am excited about the install. However, will a LC7i output converter work instead of the one you used? I have future plans to add a 4 channel amp later down the road.. anyway.. If the LC7i works, would you mind walking this through with me?

[@juanbarcenas1173]

Excellent video brother. Really helpful I literally order every single part. I got a question how do you do for equalize de sub? I have it at minimum and is actually making noise when is a part of the song that doesn’t have bass

Skar Audio offers a specific fit sub box for the Tacoma now as well that fits a 10" subwoofer.

How you set gain on this properly?

[@arjones2330]

How does it sound

[@ramonurena1891]

With this set up wikl the amplifier afect the apeakers at all or is it more or less just used for the subwoofer

[@Tacosauce22]

Great video I just recently installed this sub in my TRD OR NON JBL fits like a glove. Question though, how did you go about setting the gain? And for anybody looking to install any aftermarket audio equipment that does not want to splice or cut any factory wiring just pick yourself up the PAC LPHTY02 T-Harness 2019+ for Non JBL

[@nathanmartins1178]

Was thinking about buying that harness for my 23 Tacoma trd non jbl but I’ve been seeing mixed inputs about how that harness only works up to 2020 or 21 and that 21 and up is different and that harness is obsolete or something

[@Tacosauce22]

@@nathanmartins1178 my Tacoma is a 2022 and it works perfectly the packaging does say 20-21 but installed on my 22 with no issues

[@mikestivers8302]

you can test the output of a single channel by using an ohm's equation.. example: if a sub is rated for 100w RMS, and you want to feed it the whole 100w from an amp, you will do some quick math with your calculator - lets assume the speaker has 4 ohm resistance - 100w multiply by 4 ohm is 400.. then get the square root of 400 - this numer is 20. what you will do is turn up your head unit volume to about 75% of it's "max" with all your speaker wires disconnected, and your eq and bass boost settings the way you want them. if you have a bass knob, turn it all the way up. with your engine running to ensure a full 14v to your amp, use a voltage meter to test Sub channel of the amp by turning the GAIN control until your meter reads 20 volts A.C. be sure to first disconnect all the speaker wire from the amp!. *also, if your speaker rated for 100w RMS is fed from an amp that only puts out 50w RMS per channel, you would test for 50W or the max RMS of the AMP! it's best to have an amp that puts out more power than the speaker is rated for, it's more efficient and allows the amp to work under it's rated power, staying cool, not working your alternator/battery to death

[@Jaredius]

Using the converter in this video, I found that the gains set at 1/4 are just right for my setup with the 12” powered Rockford sub.

[@chrisrayburn3239]

So does running the wires like this add “amp power” to the door speakers ? I saw your video and bought the same stuff you used. Very cool

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

This powered sub doesn’t add more power to your door speakers, no. But we do have a 4 / 5 channel amp install that does add more power!

[@jpoy8088]

I bought a plug in play harnesses, for my 3rd gen so it's basically the same as your setup but you had to get that wolf harness and connect it to the loc , ? IT SEEMS YOU TAPPED IN THE FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT SPEAKERS DOES THIS SETUP PROVIDE A BETTER SIGNAL TO THE SUBS THE ONE I BOUGHT FROM AMAZON SEEMS THAT IT ONLY TAPS IN TO THE FRONT LEFT SPEAKER, IF I DID YOUR SET UP WILL IT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE IN QUALITY SOUNDS TO MY SUBS IM RUNNING KICKER 800AMP MONO GOING TO 2 COMPR 8INCH WITH PASSIVE RADITOR WIRES AT 2 OHMS

[@landyc1027]

Hello thank you for the video! Can I tap into that same t harness in order to wire in a amp for my door speakers?

[@yezkaholic]

How do you power the door speakers with an amp

[@The94Gsr]

I have a 2021 tacoma sport, My harness doesnt have the grey wire for the remote. Under the blue wire are purple wires. Do I tap the first purple wire for my remote? Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Great video! 🎉

[@mike.golf2000]

I’m confused in one part. Towards the end you mentioned something about a remote turn on wire, I’m doing everything exactly the way you’re doing it. Is the part of the blue wire needed or can I just leave it as is? Cause you said that the amp that comes with it already has that. Thanks!

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

If you use the same sub we did, no amp turn on wire is needed (we only showed it because viewers may use a different amp / sub setup and wanted to cover all basis). The sub we used has a switch on the amp where you can set it to audio or DC offset instead of REM. It should auto turn on when you play audio.

[@mike.golf2000]

@@ProvoBeastAudio Thanks, makes sense now!

[@Apple3.1415]

Do RCA’s still need to be used doing it this way?

[@nicholasgilson1412]

What is it called when you don’t need a loc high level?

[@mike.golf2000]

Will this set up also work with aftermarket speakers? Like the plug and play kickers

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

This setup works with any audio system.

[@mikebarr751]

Hey there, when you wire up your harness, are you taking the bass level from the front or rear speakers

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

All speakers are full range so you can do either.

Is there hardness for 2022 Tacoma with JBL?

[@digitalwvy]

I figured it out but not cool nobody mentioned what an absolute pain it it is to remove the seats to get a good ground connection, taking off all the door sill panels and kick panels to run the wires through neatly, and getting a good hole through the firewall. Crazy.

[@dizzy-snail]

I have 0 experience doing anything like this, is it worth the 450 to get it all set up that’s including labor

[@digitalwvy]

@@dizzy-snail If you have absolutely no experience modifying cars or slight electrical work, 450 is worth it. Usually i would tell people to go for doing it themselves, but this one was the most annoying out of all of the modifications i’ve done myself, and i’ve done a lot.

[@dizzy-snail]

@@digitalwvy Thanks for the reply, i was debating on doing it my self but not anymore. Ill do the door speakers and tweeters on my own, hopefully those will be easy to do.

[@arcaderacer586]

I have A 2023 tacoma v6 and the remote wire you used always sends 12v it never turns off. Any ideas where to get 12v that will cut on/off with the engine? I have tried many fuses and they all have constant 12v. The only fuse that people say cuts on off is the inj fuse but that one powers the fuel injectors and I wont chance it on that one. Any ideas???

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

You may have tapped into the wrong gray wire on the harness. There indeed is an accessory wire at the radio. What amplifier are you running as well? See @17:20 to see the exact wire we tapped into.

[@masterburger8617]

What parts would I need for a 2023 Tacoma?

[@jcollins311]

22 TRD pro was exactly the same process

[@love4sneakrz263]

Would the 10’ fit in the same location of my 19 Tacoma?

[@TatorChip__]

So what is the little box for that hooks to the radio? Also will you need that if your amp comes separate?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Called a line out converter, steps down the signal from a high level amplified signal, to a low level signal for an amplifier input. Some amps can take a high level input, some amps require that as they can only take an RCA low level input. In most cases, yes you will need it.

[@808sojahboi]

I know the description said 2023 tacoma as well but um would this set up work if I put after market speakers as well like kickers

Is the low level input the rca is plugged into only for the specific sub?

[@Jaredius]

Rockford Fosgate amps specific.

[@dougcash2766]

How did you adjust the sni-35? At what level? Thanks

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Without a distortion detector, it's difficult to truly set the level on it, so I'd recommend just keeping it defaulted and tuning your amplifier to that level.

Guys i hate to be a dick but this wasnt very helpful at all for someone whos never done this before. You didnt show enough of anything. Hoping to find a much better video than this before I even think about attempting this now. Consider showing more next time with better angles of exactly what you're doing and where you're doing it.

[@greasy5.02]

Totally agree. I don't know much about audio terminology and I'm completely lost. I have my power wire ran and ground set up. Took me 2 hours just to do all that. He fails to mention you need to basically remove the back seats to get the ground wire installed. I managed to do it by only removing the bolts in the video and sanding the holes from there without removing the bracket in the center of the backseats to completely pull the seat out but it was a PITA. Now I've got the power wire and ground set and ready, but have no idea what to do from here. To install the LOC or not? He also doesn't go over the wiring going into the AMP very well so I'm not sure how to set those up. There's a hole in the center of the + and - on the plug for the bottom part of the amp. Does a wire go there? Don't see one in the vid ,but what is it there for then? I have so many questions...

[@WillLockwoodStudios]
