    First time LOC user and looking for suggestions on tapping into the factory wires!

    Well, I finally got everything up and running. Wasn't without issue, mostly due to my own fault. Had to rerun a door wire because I didn't pay attention to how it was ran and rolled it up in the power window gear... Then I seemingly bumped the LC7i main channel's RCA and damaged it, but I've...

    First time LOC user and looking for suggestions on tapping into the factory wires!

    Well without 0 tweaking my door speakers were up and running and sounding quite well after I banged my head against the wall because of Toyota's genius electrical engineers, but then I decided to yank a wire out in my door somewhere disconnecting my driver door speakers when I rolled down my...

    We won't know until we try. Ever done it in a Tundra? Could have a different outcome. Like I said, I should have it finished tonight. I'll at least have my door speakers up and running at a minimum and can report back.

    First time LOC user and looking for suggestions on tapping into the factory wires!

    Again, if I'm using my phone's BT to play music over it, I can't use it for hands free calling. Plus, I listen to my Sirius XM a lot on shorter drivers and would be unable to ever listen to it using a DSR-1. I've already stated that going aftermarket HU is BETTER, but I took the route that...

    First time LOC user and looking for suggestions on tapping into the factory wires!

    Both front and rear played a 30hz tone "well" for a factory system. Will play 25 just a wee bit so I'm hoping the LC7i will help boost that a decent bit, but most of my regular music is 30+ unless I'm playing Decaf or something. Will certainly be saving for a HU, but this has been a good...

    First time LOC user and looking for suggestions on tapping into the factory wires!

    Yea its just a temporary thing until I can afford a new head unit and the whole 9 yards much later in the year. I don't have the tools to see what my front and rear channels are out putting, but simply by isolating sound to front and rear I believe the front is full range whereas the rear is...

    First time LOC user and looking for suggestions on tapping into the factory wires!

    Like I said I'm not expecting perfect, its gotta be better than straight factory. Plus its a helluva lot cheaper than the whole 9 yards needed to replace the headunit and maintain XM radio and full steering wheel controls. I like the idea of the wireless RCA's other than you loose BT...

    First time LOC user and looking for suggestions on tapping into the factory wires!

    This very well may be a disaster, but there is only one way to find out. I may regret it, but I think I can get it to work well enough as is. If the rain would stop today I could report back tomorrow, but I'll likely have to install it tomorrow...

    First time LOC user and looking for suggestions on tapping into the factory wires!

    I certainly do believe I will upgrade eventually, but I've been systemless for about a year now and its killing me lmao. The headunit I want + the dash kit + steering wheel control adapter + sirius adapter was going to be well over $600. So I just screw it and paid $110 for the LC7i. Now I can...

    First time LOC user and looking for suggestions on tapping into the factory wires!

    My new power and speaker cables come in tomorrow then I'm going to begin my actual install in my new truck, but I'm keeping the factory head unit. I've got 95% of the build already planned, but am looking for suggestions on the best place to tap into the factory wiring. My original plan was...

    2nd Gen Tundra (2010) Crewmax (NON JBL) Speaker Upgrade Questions

    First off, long time no see former and new members! I inherited a 2010 Tundra and just sold my old 2000 Tundra this weekend, thus finally stripped out all my speakers and amps. I'm looking to put my old setup into this 2010, but I've been reading some strange things that Toyota did and am...

    Orion 17000d ?

    Just .02 but I doubt with only 2 sets of inputs it'll never get close to 25,000 watts.

    FS: Mmats 3500.05 Silver

    What is the specs on this guy? I can't find anything useful so far. Best I've seen is 3500rms at .5 ohm.

    My Polaris RZR XP1000

    How are you liking the ride? I do a lot of riding, but can never justify 20k+ on a machine I take into some awful scenarios. I'm curious to see how the 1000s go in the trail compared my dad's Yamaha Wolverine. It'll go more places and do it easier than all the Rzr 800/900s and Commanders I've...

    Help me design my new build

    I've already had a complete reconstruction (labrum, rotator cuff, capsule, etc.) on my right shoulder. This time its a simple labrum and bicep tendon repair. Should be easy breezy comparatively speaking. Rehab on any shoulder injury is a *****. But it gives me plenty of time to plan and save for...
