    You'll find your answer pretty quickly if you search for it. I did.

    What you need to do depends on what you currently have. If you are lucky you have a “line out“ of the headunit and a “line in“ on the new amp.

    I used to think so too, but you'll get used to it. It's hard to explain how to use it. Basically it's keywords.

    Get either a Kicker Key or Alpine Power Pack. I have the power pack and it's powered by the stock wiring. Adds a solid amount of kick. The search here does suck but you can search the forum in google.

    Type into google what you want to search... Something like "add amp 3rd gen site:www.tacomaworld.com" right into google. Google will return results only from TacomaWorld.... also works for any other website.
