I put my subwwoofer and box in my Yaris and it does sound good. Now, the amp needs a remote wire and the factory radio does not have one. For me it is completely unacceptable for the remote lead to be hooked to the ignition or accessory line. I want the amp to go on and off with the radio.

This LOC from PAC Audio does just that. Radio on, amp on. Radio off, amp off

It works great and I like it

I installed something similar when I put an amp and sub in my niece's car (non-Yaris).

I bought a stinger11 loc that only hooks into the front speakers and used the radio ignition directly to amp turn-on and it sounds fine.

My first was a powered sub with speaker level inputs and auto-sensing turn on. No remote wire needed :) The second upgrade included a kenwood head unit with a remote wire. Couldn't keep that factory thing in there... It's chilling in my closet now waiting for me to figure out what to do with it.

Could always try ebay.

You never know who is looking for these things.

I'm sure it sounds good, but thats not the point when I shut off the radio, I want the amp to turn off. I want things to work the way it is supposed to. Thats why I never let a "professional" installer touch my stuff. They spend too much time rigging things, instead of doing it right.

The Yaris sounds really good, so my next upgrade will be an HU. But thats gonna be a little while. I just bought new rims for my Ranger PU.

Umm my amp turns off when I turn off the radio/HU.

It seems as if you were unaware of the Radio Ignition wire?

That is the point of the ignition wire and not the constant.

Factory radios work good along with factory speakers in a ghetto wood boom box for your garage! use the 12v out from a computer power supply (20bucks) and your good to go. If you know someone with an old computer they arent using you could get the power supply for free maybe.Some 1/4 plywood and your good to go!

That is the remote wire. And I do not believe that the stock radio comes with that wire. That's why he had to get the adapter. If it does come on the stock radio then I have no clue which wire it is.

Thats right, the factory radio does NOT have a remote wire. The PAC LOC provides the remote wire.
