    I just bought an infinity sub and custom box for my taco...Im waiting for the box to be made and i started installing my wiring kit and i want to keep my stock deck for now. what type of adapter do i need to to buy for the rca and or remote cables that dont fit into the back of the stock deck? I heard that there is something that connects to the back speakers and adapt to the rca cables...i just need a little more insight or if there is something else????

    yeh i mean if you are try to do a system install with a stock headunit with no rca's in the back of the headunit you will need a hi/low also if you have the upgraded JBL system with a built in stock amp powering your highs it is a pretty easy install by just finding the wiring diagram for the stock amp and running the hi/low of that and your remote wire as well

    The hi/low adapter 06 is refering to is called a LOC (line output converter). It steps down the high voltage signal that would normally go to speakers and converts it to a low level signal that can be used by an amplifier.

    They can be had for like $25. You will also need a remote turn on lead (so your amp knows when to shut off). This needs to be wired up to a switched power source (there is probably a spare spot in the fuse panel that you can wire into but I don't know which is free, but you can test with a DMM or test light). You could for go this by connecting a small wire from the power wire input to the remote lead input on the amp, but it will stay powered on until you remove the remote wire, which is a PITA.
