Replace JBL amp

i’ve already changed my door speakers and i have aftermarket subs with an amp. last is to swap out the stock jbl amp. any easy way to do this with these connectors?

 

PAC makes a harness amp bypass

 

The PAC AmpPro will create clean RCA outputs to add addition amps, and this can be paired with the PAC APH harness to allow utilization of factory wiring without cutting.
The negative of the amppro is that the JBL amp must stay connected

if you want to fully remove the JBL amp, you need the DSR1 and applicable harness

 

This is the harness I used on my 13 w Jbl

I will tell you test the connections first get a OEM diagram my wires did not match

 

and you didn’t have to buy a dsr1 or keep the stock amp hooked up?

 

i already have the aftermarket subs on their own amp. i just want to move the door speakers to their amp. i don’t understand why there are three clusters of wires and why there are so many, from the jbl amp.

i guess the other option would be to wire everything from scratch.

 

Are you keeping your stock radio? I assume you are I replaced mine with a alpine ilx 207
The harness just allows me to eliminate running all new wires to the doors

 

aftermarket.

 

If you have an aftermarket head unit, why are you even bothering with the JBL amp? Run some RCA’s to a new amp, and connect the PAC APH harness (either ty-12 or ty-04 maybe?) and call it a day

 

Exactly what he said above the Dsr1 is not needed yes I am using a maestro module in the dash to retain the backup camera in the mirror and it also displays the tire pressure info on my radio
But really now that’s about it since I’m eliminating the Jbl system
I am installing 2 zapco amps and a zapco Dsp
To 2 JL 10tw3 subs

 

post #1 states i’m trying to swap out the jbl amp. i wasn’t sure if i just needed new connectors or what, since there are three of them.

 

i have a maestro as well. just trying to buy a new amp and make it plug and play. there are three plugs coming from my jbl amp.

 

here’s why i typed in post #1 as to what my goal is. swap jbl amp out but still use factory plugs so i don’t have to rewire anything.

“i’ve already changed my door speakers and i have aftermarket subs with an amp. last is to swap out the stock jbl amp. any easy way to do this with these connectors?”

 

The pac harness you will only use two of the three plugs but like I said earlier tone the wires or use a 9v to test each speaker because the wire colors do not match up like they should it is used for several different toyota vehicles it also states this in the paper that comes with the pac harness

 

yes that’s why I’m Using the pac harness it plugs in back where the amp was

 

ah... thank you for explaining i would no longer need three plugs. that was really throwing me off. i only have six total door speakers, then the amp power, ground and remote, and i'm staring at three connectors with a billion wires coming out of them.

so with those pac connectors i should be able to wire them directly to my new amp, after figuring out which wire is which.



everyone: sorry if i hadn't provide enough info along the way, didn't know!!

 

Yes you only will use two of those plugs that’s what I am doing also hopefully I’ll be wiring up everything tomorrow also and finally I’ll have some sound again

 

hey any update?

 

It worked for me but I am still finalizing the install tho

 

did all the wire colors end up matching? do either of those harnesses contain power, ground and remote? thanks.
