Recommended T Harness for 3rd Gen Non-JBL

So i have a Trd Sport 4x4 DCLB non-jbl

planning to do a full sound system but dont want to be splicing into my factory headunit harness so are there any T harness kits out there that you guys recommend?

 

Get

$8 Metra 70-1761 Radio Wiring Harness For Toyota 87-Up Power 4 Speaker

Metra 70-1761 and

$11 71-1761 87 - 94 Toyota Vehicle Harness

71-1761. These can both be had for a few dollars each. Some assembly required but stupid easy if you have a soldering iron or pair of crimpers

 

And if you don't feel like doing that (I did it, and yes, it is pretty easy)

https://*********.com/shop/toyota-t...acoma-plug-play-amp-harness-installation-kit/

But understand that you should not go over 80-85w per channel on the stock wiring. I'm sure they are going to have a Black Friday coupon soon.....

 

And if you don’t feel like building a harness or paying $75 for the *********, get the AX-DSP-TY2

It’s a t-harness made for the Axxess DSP, but it is basically just a pre-built t-harness with speaker-in and speaker-out

This part (or the mantra parts listed above) plus 2 rolls of speed wire and you’re golden!

$33 40' Feet Speed Wire 9 Conductor 18 Gauge Audiopipe Car Audio Speaker Remote Wire

https://www.amazon.com/Speed-Conduc...UTF8&qid=1542721590&sr=8-2&keywords=speedwire $29.95

$72.70. If you don't have soldering equipment, there's a soldering iron, solder, heat shrink tube, etc. And then if you want to make it look clean, there are crimps and crimpers.....

I wouldn’t do that particular speed wire. It’s CCA.

I’d go for this

I put my amp behind the back seat on the drivers side. I routed it from behind the radio, down the passenger side, then all the way across the back wall. Had I put the amp on the passenger side, or under one of the seats, or run my wire down the drivers side, I could’ve gotten away with 1 roll of speed wire.

That puts us at $42 if we need one roll, $58 if we need 2 rolls. And, all of our wire is sleeved to make it easy to get through the vehicle.

And that’s if we use the pre-made t-harness. If you’re already breaking out the crimpers or the iron, might as well built one yourself. Both Metra harness total at $14 vs the $26 for the pre-built.

 

I knew there was a coupon code. 20% off: PM me for it. It expires tonight at midnight. Brings price down to $59.99 LOL

I've never bough their wiring harnesses, but I have bought amp mounting plate as well as speaker mounts from them for my old tundra. And I swear I'm not phanboying.....

 

Yeah I used the tweeter harnesses when I did my system. Way overpriced, but they got the job done. They're the only people who offer them so I guess they can charge whatever they want lol

 

Yeah, that supply and demand thing....

 

Crazy right?!

 

I'm new here, and I know this topic has been kicked to death, but I have a question..... I have a 2018 non jbl entune that I want to add an amp to. I've already replaced the stock speakers with Kicker CS series. I went with the AX-DSP-TY2 harness, but am unsure which wires to splice into to run to the RCA inputs of my amp ( JL Audio RD 400/4). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Could yall go over how to make the T-harness with the metra harnesses? I am trying to figure out how to do that to save $40 or so.

Thank you sir

 

Can I use this T harness to install a Kicker Key Amp?

 

Sure. There will still be cutting and splicing, so i personally would save the money and just buy the two Metra harnesses since you’ll be splicing wires no matter what
