    This is probably a dumb question - but my old car (subaru impreza) had an OEM undersea Sub that added just enough bass to the car. Are there any options for this in the Tacoma's as well?

    I have a '13 with a non-nav/entune unit.

    what you want is called a Line-out-converter. you can find them at most car/home audio suppliers and they're very easy to instal. simply pull the stereo out, splice the wires into the rear channel wires (the unit will come with a wiring diagram for assistance there) and plug in the RCA wires to the subs amp. DONE.... I ran one in my truck for a while with no problems at all

    Rockford makes good stuff but unless you care about name, don't bother. Most of the wires on the stereo can be tapped as a remote wire (I can look to see what I used for mine if you'd like) and so that feature isn't really needed... Not to nock you TacoDe, just lettin em know
