    Hi all! Long time reader, first time poster. This forum rocks!

    I’m pretty mechanically inclined, but somewhat ignorant when it comes to the install of aftermarket speaker components. My wife bought me an entirely new set of aftermarket speakers for my non-JBL 2020 Tundra CM. I’m pretty much set on the replacement of the factory speakers, but I’m lost when it comes to the sub install.

    Link for the sub is: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07FN6XCRV

    This is a 10” RF Punch with built in amp. I have an 8 gauge power cord, Kicker LOC, and what I believe are all the components I need for a proper install. Curious if anyone is familiar with the install of a sub like this and could point me in the right direction when it comes to install instructions. Again, I’m kind of ignorant when it comes to this sort of thing. I’ve seen several posts on sub installs, but pretty much all seem to be sub + external amp. Not much on sub with built in amp. Any insight would be much appreciated. TIA!

    I will do my best here:
    You need to run 4-6 gauge wire from the battery to the sub\amp. Fuse close to the battery.
    You need to run a 12v remote-on to the fuse box, fuse tap any of your choice that come on with the ACC
    Both above through firewall at steering column grommet. Secure both wires very well in engine compartment.
    Ground should be as close to the sub\amp as possible, make it strong and make it right.
    I can’t speak for non-JBL, make sure your system doesn’t have digital signals to the speakers. If it doesn’t, a LOC should work fine.
    Make sure your sub has proper clearance if it’s behind the seat. Remember it can’t touch the seat back, it needs at least 3\4" of air space to flex.
