Amp on backseat and other "Stg 1" photos

Any updates?

Bala....any updated pics/install? I'm getting ready to do something simliar and you've always got great pics. Thanks.
 
no I dont. I completely sold all my audio equipment that I took a year to aquire and left the truck on the interior exactly as pictured.

I may change my amp soon to a 4ch and add some rear speakers soon.

I would also like to swap out my avn 5435 for the 6610.

But for now, my rig is in san diego gettin fiberglass fenders made and after that, its off to corona for LT build.

I may not have my truck back for 6 months. I have driven it only one day for the past month and a half, and that was just to get it to san diego :bash:

probably one mod that I will do while the truck is down is the secondary battery.

You got any new progress on that, you did any excellent write up on that by the way :bigok:
 
Thanks. I decided not to install the inverter and ended up selling it. The dual batter setup works perfectly and I plan on connecting the 2 amps I've bought to the secondary. I plan on posting the install along the way.

How much of pain is it to disassemble the door panels? Any words of advice before I start?

Thanks.
 
Hey, is there any chance that you have the original wiring between the JBL HU and the amp/sub in the rear or do you know anyone who does. I need to buy that harness and Toyota acts like they never heard of it. An absolutely beautiful installation. I wish I had the bucks to do something like that.

Actually, I'm going to be running new wires for the entire system, the problem is that the "harness" that's in there now is so widespread and integrated, I dont' think you'll find anyone with it dislodged and intact. Good luck.

to take them off is not hard, I went to the dealer and bought some of those snap plugs that hold that panel on before I started cause I figured I would break or loose a few. just take the three srews I think it is off first (one behind door handle, one under the armrest which pops off real easy and then one by the rear view mirror area) and then use a taped flat putty knife and start at the bottom and just leverage it out. hardest thing after that is getting the wire that connects the door handle and lock mechanism and then the window controls. If you cant unplug the window control (which I had a real hard time with) just unscrew it from the door panel. Oh, and there is a plug to the door light, but should be easy. after that, it is just one peice at time with the panel off.

besides the tediousness of putting on the dynomat, the hardest thing was getting lager guage speaker wire to the door throufg the rubber dealy thing that connnects from the body to the door.

also, did you do a seperate power distribution/fuse box for the second battery like some of the others? I would like to do that, but there is no clear write up on them in the other threads that I have seen.

I didnt have a JBL, sorry.

did you try searching on trdparts4u.com

seem to have almost everything on there that comes with any toyota. it is a parts direct from toyotas distribution. same place dealers get stuff, but way cheaper. I will take a look to see if I can find anything for ya

I don't have a distribution block/fuse in the engine compartment for the dual battery setup...but I'm going to install a 150A fuse in a waterproof holder near the battery and a dist. block near the amps in the back to distribute power back there.
 
ah, got it. that should work well.

out of curiosity, what are gonna be running off of it mostly, audio?

I need something in the engnine bay for my compressor, various lights (bumper/roof/rear), winch and so on.

but that will be a slow add of each, want to get battery done and then be able to add as necessary

Right now it's backup for the main. My wife drives it alot and I don't want her to ever be left with a dead battery somewhere. I plan on running lights, stereo, and winch off it at some point.
 
that works, that is the best part of having a second battery. It hasnt happend yet to me, but the day it does, I sure hope I have the second one in.

Hey thanks for the reply! I would be happy with the connectors but Toyota doesn't sell them either! I even have part numbers for them which appear to be worthless. It's kinda wierd , I mean why have part numbers if you don't sell them?
