Hey, I did cut the (some of) the Toyota factory harness, and hard-wired it. It seemed to work great. Are there any future problems that I could encounter with this? The splices won't come off for sure, but are there any other problems?

OK, upon further review, I found the amp and removed it, finding the two-plug harness. Now for the interesting part. On my last 4Runner, I used the Preamp RCA's to go to an amp, so none of the speakers were hooked up to the harness on the HU end. 1. Does that make sense? Also, the JVC end...

At one time I drove a '90 4Runner, and was running a JVC Kameleon Head Unit that I had prfessionally installed. I recently purchased a choice 99 Limited 4Runner, and I am trying to transfer the deck over. The harness doesn't seem to fit. Did Toyota change their harness between 90 and 99? And if...

hey, I own a Rock Fosgate Punch 800.2 amp, and I am looking to get two 12 inch subs. I do not know what kind to get, and I have about $300 to spend. I am seriously looking at alpine R12s, but I don't know how to get all 800 watts out of my amp. Since these alpines are dual voice coil, I don't...

Hey, I bought the Rockford amp, 800.2, and now I am looking for subs. I have settled on 2 Alpine R12's (Dual Voice Coil), and now I am just trying to decide wether I want 2ohm or 4 ohm. Since I still have very limited knowledge on this topic, I was wondering if someone would help me. So I...

Hey, an update on my problem, I was looking at a pair of alpine r12s that are only 2 ohms subs. they are DVC too, so would that work with my amp (RF 800.2)?

Hey, call me stupid and laugh all you want, but I have to ask this. Wouldn't it be easier to hook it up straight acroos? I mean it is a two channel amp, so wouldn't the easiest way to hook it up be to hook one subs positive into one channels positive, negative into negative, and the other sub...

I still don't understand what parallel nor series means, could someone please verbally explain it, or better yet, post diagrams or something?

well, actually, I already have the amp, and I am trying to choose my subs. So I assume that I would try to find 2 ohm subs? Is that realistic for under about $150 per sub? also, if there are even such things as 2 ohm subs, what brands/models are there? I really want Alpine R12s. I can't...

will someone give me the lowdown on ohms? I know it means impedance (I think). How does this apply to me choosing and wiring an amp and subs? I am getting an RF 800.2 amp that says it is capable of 400 x2 @2 ohms, and 200 x2 @4ohms. How do I get it down to 2 ohms? I am looking to buy...

I could get two brand new infinity kappa 12s in a box for $350. I was looking to spend a little less. I am mostly interested in the amp though. I was looking to pay about 300 for it

I am looking to buy 2 12" subs, preferably something like alpine R type or Infinity's, but I will consider RF, Kicker, JL, or comparable; in a sealed box, with a two way amp pushing around 800 watts, or close to it. Willing to spend $500-$600

what do you mean? do you mean when I am splicing it?

I am not really experienced enough to get behind the deck. I could run some wire easy, but I think it would probably be easier to just pull out the wire as far as it would go from inbetween the door and the body, splice it, and then push that back into the body. Do you think that would work?

I tried that thing with the installer, they shut me down. I guess I am not a good liar or something, because they knew right off the bat that I was bullshitting them. I will check the wires. What do you think would be the easiest solution if the wires are rubbing together? do you think I...
