I've been doing research and slowly accumulating stuff for a month or so on how to do this, but the information/hype on youtube and cruthfield leaves me with some questions.
I bought a 5 channel JP95 amp, 18inch subwoofer, 6.5 midrange door speakers (4), 0/1 power wire, 10awg speaker wire, 16awg hookup wire, and various tools and metra speaker adapters.
My 2011 Tundra has the base speaker system, a non-amplified setup with 6.5inch door speakers(4) and 3.5 dashboard speakers(2). The head unit's wiring harness only has 4 sets of speakers wires with no subwoofer out.
Do I need to use a hi-lo converter or can I just splice into the head unit speaker wires with a chopped RCA cable?
How to keep the 3.5 dash speakers stock when they are wired with the same signal as the front door 6.5 speakers?
Will RCA Y-adapters affect the signal strength to the amp inputs?
How can I ensure I'm getting a full-range signal to my amplifier?
Do the amplifier crossover dials suffice or do I need to wire in a capacitor to protect the 6.5 midrange speakers from <100hz?
Also looking for recommendations on building a box for the 18inch subwoofer. Best glue/nails/screws/materials/tools
I'm a rookie in terms of not getting hands on with this but hopefully you guys can understand that I tried to get the info before playing 20 questions, it just gets to the point of information overload.
