Alright Iam trying to install a bazooka sub in my xb I have the toyota specific wire harness and two bazooka subs (only gonna use one ) one is the bta 10100 and other is the el8a. I orignally tried to install the el8a and it worked yet when i disconnected to feed nwire back and reconnected didnt work. Tried reconnecting no dice, so went to circuit city and returned it for another same problem the radio works while hooked up thru harness yet not getting power thru sub. Then i bought new wire harness still no dice. Thought was possibly was sub so went and purchased bta 10100 (will be returning one) yet still didnt work. Is there som fuse I couldla blown on the radio side since it worked the first time then no more. I have changed the way I install it always no keys in ignition and then install. The first time worked really confused pleasee help....

Check your ground wire, also while checking your ground wire use a automotive voltage test light and make sure you are getting power from the harness, also check your fuses on the Car, but it sounds like you are not getting power to the Sub, is the little green light on?

You need to use a DMM on the harness. Find out if you are getting any power on the positive lead. Test the positive lead against a known good ground (seat belt bolts work). If you have no positive lead, go back to the fuse box and replace the fuse. I don't think there is an inline fuse on the harness but you may want to trace that back to the fuse box anyway. Another option you may need to check is the fuse on the sub. It's possible the onboard amp of the 10100 blew and will need to be replaced. I'm not a bazooka fan so you'll have to double check that one.

Sounds like it would be a great writeup. Glad to hear it's working correctly now.

You'll pardon me for a bit.. I need to go file down my pointy ears again. "spoket"
