BigYellowBlur78 Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 My friend wants me to install an amp & some subs in his 2016 Tundra. He wants to keep the stock radio, there is no where to put the RCA's or the remote turn on, on the stock head unit. So how would I be able to install the amp to the stock head unit? I know it may seem like a dumb question, but I'm only used to installing amps on aftermarket head units.... Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06RTCharger Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 I think these might help. Line out converters. http://www.crutchfield.com/S-nSEE6fWehwk/g_721/Line-Out-Converters.html Chosing one depends how many channels ur gonna amplify.

reedal Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 If you're going to choose a Line Out Converter, then I would recommend choosing AudioControl brand, as they're probably the only ones that aren't complete junk. Otherwise, a DSP is a much better option, allowing for more signal control. There's currently a Helix P-DSP for sale in the for sale section for $200, which is a great price for an 8-channel DSP.

Can he connect a stock headunit to a dsp? Wouldnt he still need the LOC to connect it to a dsp? For the rcas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the rcas. DSP's have high-level inputs as well as RCA inputs. RCAs are not needed. Just tap into the stock wiring and connect it to the DSP.

Soccerballzs Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Use a Helix pro DSP no worries in tuning or adding additional amps. No programming issues that are common in other brands. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/garage/vehicle/2438-jeep-commander/I Pioneer P99RSAmpere 38002-Ampere 125/44-6.5 inch Hertz HSK XL Mids4-8 inch JL Audio ZR Midwoofer 2-5.25 Satori Mids2-Morel Tweeters, 2 Hertz Milles 3 inch on A pillars2-Hertz Silk tweeters DC Audio Level 5/12 Skyhigh Wire Mechman 320 XS Power D3100MO Funniest Thread of the Year 2013: http://www.stevemead...dy-being-a-pos/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubbinNCali Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Audio Control LC2i off Amazon for around $65. I bought two. One is in my A7, the other in the wife's A6. Very easy to install and has a remote turn on for your subs. You do need to find it power though. Add RCA's, amp, etc as usual. http://www.audiocontrol.com/car-audio/factory-system-upgrade/lc2i/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmizzle99 Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 That is what I did I'm my Camaro. I have a JL Audio Cleansweep, which is part re-eq and part line out converter. I spliced into the rear speakers to get high level connections, which feed the cleansweep, which produces the low level RCA outputs for amps. I used an "add a circuit" fuse with wire and tied into a spare switched fuse . This provided a remote turn on signal, which I then used to trigger another remote amp turn on relay. It all works sweet and as it's supposed to, no noise, no static, no hum, no turn on thumps. It's a lot of work, but nothing worth while is easy.
