Adding Amp and Sub to Factory Deck

Ok, so I need a little help. I have a 2013 TRD prerunner Tacoma. I recently bought a Kenwood 400w max KAC-5206 amp with a Kicker. It didnt come with any wires or adaptors and I want to keep the factory deck for now so was wondering if anyone knew exactly what wires/adaptors I would need to install them. I'm clueless when it comes to these things.

 

Every head unit has a remote wire which is blue (If i can remember correctly). Run a wire from the remote on the amp and then run the wire to the remote to the head unit (blue remote wire). The blue wire should be taped on the end, it has on every vehicle I've had. Looks like you got power to the amp and have run the RC wires to the sub. Have not hooked mine up in my yota yet, this is going to give me motivation to install mine.

Just reread your post. You probably should buy a amp kit from walmart or best buy or radioshack. It will have all your inline fuses, RC cables, connections and other wires like the wire to run the remote wire. For interference reasons you should keep your power wires and RC and remote wires away from each other for the best sound quality.

 

You'll need a line out converter in order for you to use the amp on your factor headunit as well.

 

Does the amp have a "speaker level" input? If so then you dont need a LOC as there's one already built into the amp.

You can cut and splice into the factory speaker wires that come out of the HU. If you wanted to amp just the sub, you'd only need to solder or crimp in one set of lines to the amp, however if you wanted to amp the whole system, then you need lines on which to return the signal to the stock wiring for the speakers. All easily done, on my truck the blue and green wires were the right side and pink and purple were the left side

 

thanks guys :] still on the hunt to find the wires for it

I used this on my 2012 DC (no JBL) as a jumper so I didn't have to cut factory wires. I didn't use the RCA out, because I have a 5 channel amp that has speaker level inputs. However, it sounds like you could without cutting any wires, just run RCA cables from it to the amp.

Disclaimer: This worked for a 2012... just remove the plugs on the back of the radio and plug it into this jumper, then plug the jumper into the back of the radio. I do not know if the plugs/wiring harness changed for 2013. Maybe someone more experienced with these radios knows?
