Connect mono amp. + subwoofer to stock HU? - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

IsLNdbOi · 10-28-2008, 08:03 AM

The pin for the speaker's +wire and -wire in the harness? How would that work? I wouldn't be able to plug the harness back in I think.

you pull them out solder the wire to it and stick it back in it will go back in theres enough room

Anyone else have ideas on how to connect the LOC w/o tapping into, cutting or splicing the stock wiring?

Well isnt that the whole point of a LOC is so you can tap the existing wire? You can find exposed wires and 'twist' them and pray for the best, though the connections will be weak and so your sub wont sound so good. If it works ok, those connections will most likely losen over time. Its easier if you just work with the harness and tap the wires from there. If you dont wanna cut, splice, solder, tap the wires your only otherway would be to buy a HU with RCA outputs.

BTW battleversiontc, were you the one helping me with LOC pre-hax?

I'm not an expert, but I did what battleversiontc mention in THIS thread and it worked out for me.

I think I've found a solution.

Get this:
Metra harness adapter (plugs into car-side of HU harness)

Metra harness adapter (plugs into stock HU)
http://retailer.installationexcellen...hicleid=219980

I think you can see where I'm going with this. I can twist the LOC's wires with a speaker's wire on both harness adapters, match the rest of the wires then plug each harness adapter into their respective places (one end into the HU's car-side harness and the other end into the HU).
