Thanks!

My situation is no power and no sound; even when I hook up a discman.
So did Best Buy compensate you for the factory amp? Now that you are using the aftermarket headunit, does it mean you are only usi...

My biggest gripe with aftermarket amps is the size. Why don't they make small amps? They can obviously fit a 40Wx4 amp in a headunit along with the electronics and drive motors. The factory amps are b...

brianforster, thanks again. I don't know of a good way to test this amp system. I've opened my amp and have a hard time even following the traces.

Thanks. The amp from the 6 speaker system has a different Toyota part number so there is a good chance they aren't compatible. Do you know if it has 3 plugs on the right side of the amp?

So the tweeter and 3" speaker are wired in parallel. They have stickers on both saying 4 ohms. I would think that means they present a 2 ohm load to the amp.
When I measure their resistance with a mul...

If you have the 8 speaker system, you have a few options
1) Use the existing amps. Metra makes a wiring harness that plugs into the amp. Part number is 70-8112. This lets you use all 8 speakers withou...

I have the premium 8 speaker system. What is the ohm rating on the stock speakers?
As I understand it, most amps are for 4 ohm speakers. So a 4 channel amp can drive 4 x 4 ohm speakers or 8 x 8 ohm sp...

What is the difference between coaxials and component speakers?

As for coaxial, is this the type of cable you use to w...
