hello my friends. hope all is well. sorry to bother you all but i just wanted some clarification on some stuff about my future audio stuff.

i currently have a 12 titan SV 4x4 with the RF system. i am not the audio nut i use to be but i want to upgrade the sound in the truck cause it ***** lol. i plan on installing a pioneer avh8500 DD unit. also i want to upgrade the sub underneath the front seat. i plan on going with the box from tech12volt but dont know which sub yet. that will be powered with an aftermarket amp as well. i am also debating whether if i should change the speakers inside

i know i need metra 95-7424 dash kit

-which harness do i need for the radio? 75-7550 or 75-7551?

-do i need to bypass the amp if i want to use the factory speakers with the headunit?

-what would be my best approach in all this with the headunit and factory speakers?

-how will the factory speakers sound with the pioneer?

again sorry to bother you but just looking for some clarification on this stuff. hope you can help

Have you checked with Crutchfield on the deck ? Sometimes it's worth ordering from them because they provide the dash kit ...proper wiring harness and technical sheets For Free about taking your vehicle apart for changing the deck and speakers .....also great tech support if you get in a bind

The harness you need is the 70-7550 and no antenna adapter BTW

The correct harness is part number 70 7550 ...I'm not sure if the 75 7550 is a misprint or not ...but you don't want the one with rca Jacks

Yeah sorry about he typo lol. Ok so I want the one with no RCA jacks. Does that mean I have to rewire all the speakers?

You'll just have to match the speaker wire colors from the deck to the harness ...make sure none of the striped wires are crossed up...when doing this...no wiring to the other speakers is needed....

ah easy enough.

so this would bypass the amp and the speakers connected would be powered by the radio?

Yes..The new deck powers up the factory amp through the speaker inputs...so from there it would go to all the speakers...to go around the factory amp with a new one would get fairly complicated...I believe the factory amp is mounted below the passenger seat
