Subs - Toyota Yaris Forums

creamy · 08-21-2012, 12:57 AM

I am a super duper noob and i've installed subs before with aftermarket head units before in different cars but i want to install 2 12 inch subs in my yaris and i don't even know what colour cord is the 12v one to connect the remote cord up to so i don't drain my battery D:!.

Also with the RCA cables will i need to get an aftermarket headunit or is there a way to hook rca cables up to the OEM headunit ? D: thanks in advance :)

jesus, two 12's?! youll be bumpin. but im pretty sure they say you should upgrade "the big three" (alternator, wiring, batter) with that kind of power. or atleast get a cap.

i installed a powered sub with the stock head unit but i had to buy an output converter because there arent rca outputs on the back of the stock head unit..

i bought this

at walmart for about 15 bucks. it was still kind of tricky because i had to splice into the radio wires because i didnt want to cut them, but it works great.

good luck!

You can buy both harnesses and make a coupler so that you can wire stuff in without cutting the factory harness:

Splice line level converter into junction of the two adapter harnesses.

Read this before considering a Capacitor.

Thanks for advice will take into consideration. Nah don't need a capacitor. Might be buying a aftermarket head unit probably jvs or kenwood today, rather then stuff around with the oem. I am from australia as well, so just get wiring harness and hook it in. I'll be getting 0 gauge later on because its a twin 12" active design because in the lil yaris with parcel shelf off it will be loud enough :) 0 gauge will just give more current :DDDD, Might get a fuse clip thing and hook the REM into that :o rather then splice wires, it's annoying i don't have any heatshrink or a soldering iron or wire splitters D:. Any advice on a good 120 -130AUD head unit?, cheers!.

update- got a alpine headunit in with a facia i got for 20 bucks and hardwired everything myself so i didnt have to wait a week for a wire harness to get shipped to store, got the 2 12's bumpin in the 5 door hatch holy crap it sounds awesome once that hatch door closes and the sound bounces off its like eargasm, got the 2 12's running 800w rms between em and they peak at 2400, not that powered but they're awesome !
