Replace "Premium" JBL Amp

Been wanting to do this for a while but soon the "Premium" JBL Amp in my Tacoma will be gone. I have a limited and I never thought putting an amp under the passenger seat would work. So I have looking for another solution.

One idea I had was to remove the Amp off the current subwoofer box and install the Amp there. But then I thought based on the performance of the Amp the Subwoofer box would probably fall into the same category.

Well I finally discovered all the pieces I needed.

For the subwoofer box I went with one from The Sub Box Shop, https://www.thesubboxshop.com/ Resonably priced.

To tie into the stock speaker wiring I got harnesses from Auto Harness House, https://autoharnesshouse.com/

Both sites were quick to respond to emails with questions on their respective products.

As far as the amp is concerned this bad boy will get installed, https://www.crutchfield.com/p_500PXEC808/Alpine-PXE-C80-88.html

I'll post pictures of the process and end result.

 

What amp interface did you go with?

 

From the HU will have RCA connections to the Amp. Auto Harness House is making me two harnesses that will go from the output of the amp and connect into the stock connections to feed the speakers.

 

The head unit doesn’t have RCA connections on it, morning type of audio output other than the digital signal it sends to the JBL amp. Do you have a link to what you got from them?

 

My head unit is a Pioneer WC6600NEX and it does have RCA connections. I'm basically getting a 10 and 12 pin connections to plug into the connections back by the JBL amp.

Send them an email, Brian helped me out a lot.

 

Ohhhhh you have an aftermarket head. Now I’m all caught up! I thought you were still running factory

 

Nope... Did the HU and speakers and dealt with the dreaded JBL Amp. Now it's time to raise the bar with my music...
