2015 audio upgrade

Hello.

New to posting, but have been nosing around for about 6 months now.

To day I placed an order for what I think is everything I need to do a basic/advanced rework of my 2015 tancoma stereo.

$190 Sound Ordnance B-8PTD 8" Powered Subwoofer

Sound Ordnance B-8PTD
Sound Ordnance™ M-4050
Sound Ordnance™ P-67C( front and rear)
Metra 71-035LC Speaker Wiring Harnesses (front and rear)
Scosche SAT69 Speaker Mounting Brackets

$17 Metra 82-8148 6" to 6-3/4" Speaker Adapter for Select Toyota/Lexus/Scion 1998-Up Vehicles, Black

Metra 82-8148 Speaker Mounting Brackets

$15 Scosche SLC4 Car Stereo Speaker 4-Channel Audio Lineout Converter/OEM Amplifier Adapter with Adjustable Level Controls

Scosche SLC4 Line Output Converter
EFX PA10BX Wiring Kit (one for amp and one for sub)
Arista 16-Gauge Speaker Wire

I am at a loss as for a wiring harness so I don't have to cut factory wires. My goal is to upgrade with out any modification to factory wiring. I hope my order will come this week so I can start installing next weekend. If anyone can give me part numbers or links for a wiring harness that would be great.

I will update as I install. I didn't find a lot of info on system upgrades less then major advancement . All I want is better sound and not having to have the volume at 40 just to hear over road noise.

 

Think i Found the wiring harness I need off Amazon.ca

$5 Metra 70 1761 Radio Wiring Harness For Toyota 87-Up Power 4 Speaker

Metra 70 1761 and

$11 metra 71 1761 87 - 94 toyota vehicle harness

metra 71 1761.

 

Yep. Those are the correct Metra harnesses. The "Best Kits" BHA 1761 and BHO 1761 will work as well. I got mine off eBay.

 

I looked at the "best kits" and I could only find the BHA 1761. The ones I found should arrive by Friday and the total for both and shipping was only 23$ canadian.

 

i just finished this project, and it can be done and sound great!

 

how do those work, I plug them into each other and then how and where do I connect them to my stock 2016 Tacoma Entune HU (Non JBL) i have to cut into the wiring somewhere and get this in correct? I have no clue what I am doing.

 

Sounds like you should go visit the car audio shop, if you keep saying "I have no clue what I am doing."
And this thread is titled "2015" audio upgrade.

 

and pay thousands, no chance, I know a little about what I am doing maybe I should be clear I have never hooked up a system to a stock HU only aftermarket. Also, 2015 entune HU apparently is quite similar to the 2016 so that is why I am searching high and low for answers.

 

I searched high and low also and once i had all the parts it made sense. I just posted a long thread on doing the entire truck sound system. You're basically disconnecting the factory wiring from the HU... Your male harness/s plug into the deck then run to your amp. Your amp runs back to the female harness/s (reverse wiring) that plug into the factory wiring spine that feeds the speakers.

 

Wire the ends together and plug into the radio and the old harness. Just adding wire so I don't cut factory wires.

 

none of the harness plug into the back of the 2016 Entune stock Non JBL HU.

 

Then like i said before you do not have the correct harness.

 

right i have established that clearly. what I was looking for was perhaps someone on this forum somewhere would either have a work around or a solution for a different harness.

 

sorry it was not clear to me, i guess it would make more sense to me if you simply asked "which harness/s do i need?"

part #

$5 70-1761 Radio Wiring Harness For Toyota 87-Up Power 4 Speaker

70-1761 and #

$11 71-1761 87 - 94 Toyota Vehicle Harness

71-1761

 

those harness part #'s do not fit the 2016 entune HU.

 

Dude, you just posted "Also, 2015 entune HU apparently is quite similar to the 2016"
so maybe you should start a thread for a 3rd gen 2016 and ask if anyone knows which harness/s are required.

 

Right they are similar but that doesnt mean identical, maybe you need to crack open a beer or something and chill out with the intense criticism just cuz someone isnt wording things exactly how you would like them worded so that you understand them. I dont believe searching in a 2015 thread for answers to a 2016 is a such a bad idea in fact much answers for the 2016 have been found this way. Lighten up homeboy.

 

intense? whatever you say, looks like you're doing great.... good luck

 

Anyone have any input on the hardware I selected ? I know is not "high end" gear. Anyone used any of it in there install ? Any heads up notes to watch out for ?

 

Just an aftermarket radio properly tuned will make a world of difference using stock speakers. As for a sub thats when it gets more costly
