    Hello. Please help. I have a 2016 Tacoma with stick head unit. Non JBL. I bought a plug and play harness from TT that runs my Kicker Key 200.4 which runs my doors and dash kicker speakers. and also an Alpine S-A60m that runs my 12" sub. I'm so confused on how to install the epicenter micro. I know how to ground and power but not sure on inputs and outputs? Is it just supposed to go off my sub amp? I was thinking it would be good that my door speakers benefit from it as well. Please help. Thx

    being that you have a sub, you really should be running a high pass on the doors so the doors and subwoofer aren't playing redundantly-- it can cause phasing issues in some cases.

    because of that, the epicenter should go to only the sub amp.

    but more importantly, is how the current setup is wired. i'm not entirely sure which harness you're using from tt, but it appears everything they sell is 'wire only', meaning that there's no high/low conversions happening, and the amps would be getting a high level signal from the head unit.

    both your amps are capable of that, so it's no big deal for them. however the epicenter is a low level input only, so you will need to add a speaker level converter to the wiring before it goes to the sub amp.

    your wiring should look like this.

    head unit--->converters-->splice/split for both amps

    from split--> to kicker amp for door/dash speakers

    from split-->to Line output converter-->to epicenter-->to alpine sub amp.
