Hey all,

I am installing a sub in my xb and I am using the speaker level inputs to feed the amp signal. Is there an easy way to access the rear speaker wires? What color are they out back?

(Alternatively, is there a line out from the stock head unit?)

I have looked around the site and cant seem to find the answer. It must have been discussed a thousand times, I am sure.

Thanks for any info...

I'm not into subs but just had the passenger side of the rear trim panel off to run the antenna wire for my XM radio. The speaker is right there when you take the panel off. If you look here in the XB General Discussion there is a thread on the factory xm radio by Sparks Toyota. Their website has instructions for installation that show how to take the panel off. Pretty easy and quick actually. And, no, the radio does not have rca outs or line outs.

Thanks for the info. I will look it up.

Tap into the rear speaker wires at the head unit harness. Look up the wire guide in the faq section. I think that's where you can find it.

Hey Newtmaker- I checked the general discussion and was unable to find what you described. I went to forums/general/ (then what?). I looked through many of the categories and didnt see anything. Do you have a link for it? Is there a better way to find things here?

thanks in advance.

Oh- supercrunch, I dont want to wire from the front- I already have too many wires coming from there and I dont want to keep disassembling the plastic- I had to break clips to fit the wiring I already have.

nevermind- I just googled sparks and found it that way. I cant figure out how to use the scionlife site though...

thanks

Just did that over the weekend. Unscrew the 4 screws where the cargo cover clips things are on the side panles. Then the panel pops off far enough to reach the speaker wire..

Thank you! That was the kind of response I was looking for. The efficient way. I can always count on the colorado highway patrol...
