Installing the T1808 system, Have a premium sound car, need more info Options

[razor7]

Alright,
So I already know that I'll need to kill both amps and run everything off of just the deck itself (though I plan on wiring in a breakout box to send power to an amp that will power 8" polks). Will the stock wiring hook up to the 1808, or will I need to create a pinout connector and work on the wiring some (I can work my around with a soldering iron, shouldn't be too difficult)?

I'm also wondering if anyone has a pinout for the stock mid range amp (the one under the seat). I want to put in another semi-low powered amp in the same spot, and if possible, use the same wiring for the doors.

I have also been reading around and in order to get out the stock amp (next to the climate control) I'll need to tear apart most of my dash and center panels. Is there any special operation/order needed to go about doing this (I skimmed through the other thread, I'll re-check it once I get the radio).

Thanks,
-TC

its easy, just pull off the needed harnesses off of the stock amp located under your player and then run a seperate amp for your 8" speakers, don't make it any harder on yourself. This is how mine was done - never tore apart anything.

I could do that, but I'm trying to keep it as stock looking and feeling as possible. Since I planned to mount the amp under the driver's seat anyways, I figure it will just be easier to splice the existing wires.

ok i think you're trying to do what i did with one of my celicas... i have an eclipse AVN headunit that runs my tweets and 4" drivers in the door as well as the 6.5's in the back, i then have a jbl amp running 8" memphis in the doors and a 12" in the hatch?? is this kinda the setup you're trying to run?

if it is, i will go into detail on how to do it, also the amp under the seat ONLY powers the 8" drivers in the doors

Yes and no. Since the Scion T1808 deck is made for Toyota's (Scion), I wanted to know what cabling I will be running into. From what I gather, the wiring is as follows: Battery -> Deck -> Main Amp (in console) -> Splits off to speakers/Sub amp -> Goes to 8" speakers.

So from there I just wanted to know if the wiring heads are the same from our factory radio's and the new Scions, or if I will have to re-pin/buy stock connectors.

That's perfect! Thanks a bunch.

I guess what I'm asking for is if anyone has done this same set-up, and what they ran into/needed. I already know that it'll take me a good 2 days to finish this, I just wanted to get some pointers or more knowledge before I plunge in.
