Ive already installed two 2 channel amps for the speakers under the parcel shelf, I took the 4 channel for the sub off and dummy fit it up under the parcel shelf, if I get long enough self tapping screws and drill pilot holes I should be able to squeeze in this one...

We didnt mount the amps under the front seats as we didnt want to #### around taking the seats out...

10" sub and some sort of amp... LOL.. Umm, Like mowers and stuff, I have to properties and when the Prado is away, My car is the only other option for big ****...

.

No need 2 take it out ive got a 2 x 12' subs and 2 amps in my VP and can still fit the lawn mower and a whiper sniper in the boot lol, same with the VT :p its all about how u fit it out n since u got much smaller gear udhave no probs fittin stuff in there.

As 4 needing a switch 2 turn off ur remote wire u should b able 2 do that using the head unit.

Thats the plan if it can fit, but since im lazy and you know I would lose the fuse, Im just putting a switch onto the REM wire for the sub amp...

IDK, I might have something I need to put in, or remove weight in the boot since I have a scrubbing issue when there is too much weight, and I need to tow the boat...

Not sure if my HU supports that, dont think it does, but if it did, it means an hour of messing with settings, and then I wont have sound full stop as all my speakers run of amps...

I think what wrx884 was talking about on the H/U, was with some headunits you can turn the sub output off with a button or switch. My Kenwood does this, I hit the button and it stops the sub RCA output but also turns the sub amps off too. Not sure how since I had it installed for me.

He wants to be able to take it out in seconds. If you simply undo the push terminals on the sub box you risk the +ive and -ive wires shorting and creating a fire in your car.

The banana plugs solution solved this problem.

Yeah, So it just cuts power to the rem and RCA's I believe...

You owe me 10$

And my original plan was to keep the sub and amp all together, but ive changed that now
