    That TYTO-01 is a staple in the car audio world. More of a no frills and cost efficient unit that just works much like Toyotas themselves. I had forgotten about that. @trdcorolla knows what's good.

    I ditched the Beatsonic because I gutted the entire thing in favor of putting in a crazy stereo. Also, I am functionally deaf so I need it stupid loud. Perhaps need is a strong word but I require more volume than Nakamichi or ML system can produce. So, amps and speakers are my only way of...

    Just two amps. The 4 channel or point4 on model numbers is for the front doors. Two channels for tweeters and two-channel for mid-bass 6.5/6.75" speakers. This is commonly called an active setup. The rear doors just run on radio power alone. The second amp (the mono or 1 channel .1) powers the...

    You're welcome. Bring on the questions! The only dumb ones are the ones not asked.

    Currently, I am using an Alpine iLX-W650 head unit along with Alpine's KTP-445A and KTA-200M amps on some Focal Flax series 6.75" 2 Way components and Bazooka subwoofer only in the OEM location. Running regular 2-ohm JBL mid-tier series (don't remember the official name) coaxials off the head...

    That is odd. Gonna take a stab and say you may have accidentally turned down the dimmer. and one of the two antennas is maybe not all the way in their homes. Or mast came disconnected somewhere during the pulling and pushing. I am sorry it did not work out. But maybe you could swing by a best...

    Reading back through what you have written. It appears that something is causing the OEM Mark Levinson amp to shut off. The most likely offender is a dead short. Dead short is typically a blown speaker. when it moves (an electrical signal passes through it) it connects briefly and then shorts(...

    You would because of the resistance of OEM speakers. They operate in tandem with the amp. Aftermarket speakers (most commonly 4ohm) some like JBL offer a 2-ohm option. OEM speakers (2-3ohm) depends on 3 way or 2way (tweeter, mid, woofer) or (tweeter and woofer) ML amp output (1.5-3 ohm)...

    No. The stock speakers use a different resistance level than aftermarket speakers. I believe the OEM speaker pods run a 2 or 3ohm resistance and aftermarket are typically 4 ohms. Although, I do know of a JBL set of aftermarkets that are 2ohm that we used to replace the OEM 1st gen sequoia...

    If the amp is turning on and off it is an amp problem. Not a harness issue. They are getting the correct voltage. The amp may just be going bad. Many of those systems had/were refurbished at dealers in their lifespan for these issues. May need to just do an amp bypass at that point. YotaMD has a...

    Check with Crutchfield to see if Kenwood requires their video splitter for the corner cam to run alongside front and rear cameras. I do know Alpine requires it. I believe back in the day Kenwood required that as well with multiple cameras. So maybe that is still the same requirement.

    I use an Alpine INEW650 and front and rear cams. I like to have them on while I am driving so I need the unit to be bypassed. This way I can see the front and rear approach angles and it's especially handy in parking decks where you cannot see the other idiots speeding through. Alpine and...

    I have. It is indeed plug-and-play. Depending on what the radio unit is that you are installing you will also need either a PAC audio TR-1 or TR-7 in order to bypass Fed restrictions on navigation/Carplay use while in motion.

    Beatsonic, plug and play harness. No guessing. But you pay for that. Beat-Sonic SLX-82AAD - https://www.beatsonicusa.com/beat-sonic-sla-82aad.html
