It's aftermarket. I thought that'd work, but wanted to make sure. I'll give that a shot, thanks!

I've got h/u I pulled out of my rig that's got a cd left in it. What wires at minimum would need to be hooked up to eject the cd? I'm hoping I don't have to pull my dash apart and there's a way I can do this. If I have to I'll pull my dash and wire it up, just thinking there should be an easier...

Bump, any other suggestions?

OK, everything's wired correctly, but I'm having issues. The volume keeps fluctuating up and down, I get tons of static/distortion (even with the AUX IN), and even when maxed out the volume isn't very loud at all. I'm out of ideas. I'm thinking either the h/u or TYTO interface is defective...

Thanks for the advice. Plugging in the OEM h/u, raising the volume (practically maxing it out) helped a lot. For some reason when I am watching a dvd, I've gotta crank the volume up to get the same level as with the radio. With the volume maxed out, the dvd is loud enough to hear, but not as...

I've got a 03 Toyota 4runner equipped with the OEM JBL system. I have a Pioneer avh-p4300dvd head unit I just tried putting in. I have the Metra TYTO-01 harness and ASWC steering wheel control interface. My first issue is that my volume seems very low. I've got to have it cranked up to 25-30 to...

Appreciate your input. I'd really like to stay at 1 ft^3 or less if possible, the whole reason I went with the 8 to begin with was due to not wanted to loose cargo space. I really like the IDQ10v2 with dual 4 ohm voice coils. I can wire this in and give it 250 watts RMS (which is what they list...

Great info, thanks! I went with a 8" sub originally because I was able to fit it in the stock sub enclosure (sealed ~.6 cu ft) and not lose any cargo space. I'm now looking at doing a custom build which will integrate a sub box, which I can make it a 10" or 12" (prefer 10" for size). My amp will...

Thanks for the info. I've searched this forum, and seen the dcon suggested for those looking for SQ/SQL. Quality is my number one concern, I don't care about loudness.

Box is sealed. The 8w1v2 is 150 watts RMS. I used a mm to set gains properly, so I should be pretty close to the recommended power. I can go up or down, just didn't want to push it too far. Looking back at specs, I may be bigger than I thought. It calls for .375 cu ft, the enclosure is around .6...

I currently have a JL Audio j2 250.1 amp and a JL 8w1v2 sub. I love the setup, but it's not near as tight/punchy as I'd like. I'm not looking to shake the car, I usually listen at relatively low levels. My preference would be to keep my current amp as my budget is low and I've got no need for a...

Guess not...

I'm looking at adding a single sub to my 03 4runner. I'm going to be building a custom cargo drawer system with a sealed off section for the sub. I have the option of firing it any direction except to the rear with the design I'm looking at. Is there any benefit to firing direction (goal is SQ...

I'm not big into car audio, but rather just like a little added bass with my music. I've got a 2003 4runner that has an OEM JBL system. My stock sub blew, so I picked up a JL 8w1v2 and a JL j2 250.1 amp. I'm currently pushing the sub just under RMS power (which is 150 watts). I can't afford to...

Using the same wires to tap into?
