Installing a line output converter in a 1999 4R Limited

[airbag]

Ok guys, I know some of you all have done it, and it must not be that hard since I cant find a how-to thread anywhere for it. But I guess I'm not terribly smart being that I cant get the damned thing to work.

Can anyone tell me EXACTLY what wires to connect it to and where they are. My line output converter has both +/- grey and white wires, totaling 6 wires with two brown ground wires.

I will be using this to power my Pioneer 300W amp and 12" JL Audio Subwoofer.

Also, if anyone knows of a audio wiring diagram for the 1999 4runner Limited then please let me know!

Thanks

By the way, this is my first post. I bought my white/gray 1999 4runner limited 2 weeks ago and I love it more and more every time I drive it.

ok, to get a LOC to work, you have the gray wire and gray with a black stripe wire, that's one speaker, There is also a white wire and white with a black stripe... that's the other speaker

The wires with the black wire on it is the negative wire for each speaker.

You just tap them inline with the speaker wires for usually the rear speakers. The two brown wires are for ground, DO not use them Unless you get a bad hum from the woofer. If there is a bad hum then you have to connect them to the ground of the headunit. (that's called a ground loop..)...

The RCA's should be able to be plugged into the Line Output Converter.

YOu can hook up your amp now! Run a remote wire off the headunit or something that turns on when the truck turns on to turn on the amp.


To purchase a LOC, you can get it at Best Buy, Circuit City, Crutchfeld....

(I'm a best buy installer.. and they run 26 bucks at our store)
