    hello all anyone know if there is a factory amp wire behind the pannel between the two rear seats in a 2010 tacoma SR5 access cab. i would like to install an amp in the same location as the factory equiped models. i found a fuse listed in the manual as radio 2 it is a 30 amp? whare is that going i wonder ? also found a fuse listed as radio 1. 7.5 amp im thinking radio 1 is for the HU and the 30 amp radio 2 is for the wire that i hope the factory ran so an amp can be installed at a later date any info would be greatfull

    I may be wrong, but on the Access Cabs, I think the sub is passive, as in powered of the head unit. I may be wrong though..

    Like, I don't know, maybe the audio video forum? :notsure: Some pretty knowledgeable guys hang out over there a lot and maybe, just maybe, you may find someone who knows something about audio video in the Tacoma.

    Not saying people who browse the 2nd gen forums don't know there shit, but maybe they need some sleep and can't answers all audio video questions in less than 12 hours.

    after removing the pannel in the rear of the cab we found no prewire. however we did find the 30 amp radio2 fuse is for an amp at a later time and the plug termanates behind the passenger kick plate by your feet in the front of the cab. there is two plugs one has a rubber cap . it looks like if you want to install your own amp and want to use the factory plug you would have to get the harness from toyota or just run a new one from the battery back like i did. and everyone please be careful around those airbag sensers. from what i hear it they are very touchy. alwase disconect your battery before starting work

    This reply helped me so much by not having to run a wire through the firewall to Radio 2. Even though my Father In-law's truck didn't have JBL the fuse was in place and the wire was there in the kick panel. More details here where I describe the adapter harness I made.

    The Service manual calls this connector IL3
