    i just bought a 2005 tacoma and i have a kenwood kdc-x994 stereo i'am wanting to install.it looks like a fairly simple install i don't think i have the jbl system there is no sub behind the back seats.i did pull out the stereo to look behind it and i noticed there were 3 harnesses plugged into the back of the factory stereo and i'am wondering what the 3rd harness is for?because all of the sites i have looked on to buy the dash kits and wiring harness only show 2 harnesses needed so i'am wondering what is the 3rd harness? THANKS!

    i dont know what it is for i am sure somebody else will know, you will probably have better luck posting this in the audio section.

    the 2 harness will work fine. i didnt plug the 3rd one in and i dont have any problems

    Pretty sure one is for the front speakers and one is for back speakers (whether you have them or not).
