Amp & aftermarket speakers

Hey, I'm new to this forum but I've come across it quite a few times when looking for any kind of info so I thought I'd join. I have a 2013 Tacoma crew cab & I am looking to installing some new speakers & an amp to the factory head unit. I purchased JBL gto 939 6x9's & gto 19t tweeters for the front, gto 629 6 1/2's for the rear & a kicker 47 key 200.4 amp. Can somebody help me in correctly wiring all this up?? I believe I have have all the correct harnesses I'm just not to educated on how to wire it all together.

 

Might try here? Looks to be all 2nd gen stereo installs?

Run the power wire from your amp wiring kit from the battery to the rear seat compartment underneath the kick panels on the left side.
Keep speaker wire and power wire separate or it’ll give your car a supercharger sound out of your tweeters.
Wire your speakers and remote line...
You’ll need a line out converter from crutch field I guess with your budget this is what I’d do. Honestly I think it’s what you’d do... I’ve never had to use a stock radio and if I did I would use a digital sound processor which is the better choice yet more expensive. Yet a line out put converter works all the same.
You might be able to get away with a Dayton DSP for car audio their like $150 and really great value so yeah you could probably get away without a line output converter these days.
I would definitely go with the Dayton DSP. Ah, like some things this hobby is going to make you spend some cash lol

Also this could of been posted under audio/video.

 

Thanks for all the input guys!! And sorry for the inconvenience I'm new to this forum.

 

Welcome to TW.

If your factory radio doesn't have RCA outputs, I would recommend buying speaker line-RCA adapters so you can use RCA cables to hookup to the amp.
1)You would need to run a power cable from battery to amp.(minimum 8 gauge or larger)
2) If the factory radio doesn't have an antenna remote wire output, you can run the remote wire of the amp to the same ignition wire on the factory radio. (just need a switched 12V so the amp turns on when radio is on)
3) Ground the amp wire to a good ground close to its location.
4) Then simply connect the front speakers/rear speakers to the front/rear amp outputs.

I may be missing some details but most simple straight forward radio installs I have done over the years are similar to this. This all is assuming you have a non-JBL system. A 12V simple test light or multimeter is a necessity when dealing with any 12V installs.

 

The Kicker Key amp you bought is designed to be used with factory head units, so can accept a feed from the speaker outputs directly. It can also sense when the radio turns on without an extra trigger wire. Where did you buy your gear from? Hands down, Crutchfield really is the best resource for DIY installs, including install videos and a tech support line. Kicker also has some good install videos on their website, along with the files you will need for the auto-tuning setup.

I used that same amp with an aftermarket head unit, and have been highly impressed with what it can do for how small it is.

12V DC is very straightforward once you get the hang of it. Just pay attention to the current draw of the amplifier, and make sure to use the appropriate sized wire and fuse.

 

Ok awesome! Thank U for all the feedback. I'll definitely be checking out them videos!
