Question Adding an amplifier to stock stereo
Hello I'm a nwer owner of a 2022 4 runner premium without the jbl system, I am looking at updating all the speakers with a subwoofer and 1 to 2 amplifiers, I am wanting to keep the stock head unit, I have looked quite a bit online for a plug and play harness so I don't have to cut any of the factory wires at the head unit. So I wanted to see what everyone has done? Thank you for any help!!

Ill eventually do the same its not too difficult to do

amp
kicker key 200.4
reviews are great and will over ride the stock eq settings, plus no need for remote line

RED WOLF Add AMP Amplifier Subwoofer Speaker Wiring T-Harness Radio Stereo Plug Connector Compatible with Toyota 2018-2022 Camry RAV4 Tacoma Corolla Non-JBL System......may require some slicing / soldering into factory harness but simple to . Think taco tunes makes a plug n play kit

speaker speed wire...run from harness to amp

amp power kit....battery to amp

I've been using the AudioControl LC2i for years. They have a ton of great stuff for audiophiles.

I once used a Helix 6 or 8 channel DSP in combination with 2 JL audio amps with a factory head-unit.

I used this to add a subwoofer amp to my stock radio

Amazon.com

Also Taco Tunes makes harnesses that are plug and play

I tried to do the same keeping the head unit. I upgraded speakers and amp and it turned into a mess because the stock amp interfered with the signal and needed to be removed (huge pain) and even the the Metra to help with compatibility of the sock head unit to the new amp was garbage. Stock head unit is just sooo bad.

I ended up upgrading the head unit to a Kenwood DMX 10.6, and it's such a massive improvement over the stock head unit with amp and speakers.

A bit later this year, I'm going to be installing a HELIX V EIGHT DSP/Amp. Wish me luck.
