    great video.. I have a question though I have the TRD version which comes with JBL with 11 speakers and it has a small sub-woofer in the back. The bass comes out nicely for around 4 seconds then slowly fades away. So I did read on rav4world that all of the RAV4s are affected by that issue which is basically the JBL system has a protection feature built-in the head unit which lowers the amps or something. So my question is if I replace the sub-woofer with a better quality would it make any difference? how do I override amps coming from the HU? what's the best way to accomplish that? thanks again.. subscribed

    Hey. I honestly don't know but I it sounds like bass roll off which auto-manufacturer do to prevent damaging their cheap speakers. No subwoofer might not help as the sound frequency going to it is being limited. You can get an AudioControl LC2i or LC5i to overcome losing the lower frequency. But again honestly, I don't know and I would take to to an audio expert. They should have tons of Toyota experience since this is how it's done across most Toyota's that have JBL.

    You can connect the subwoofer directly to the battery. These subwoofers typically have an inline fuse to protect the wire. You don't use T-tap here. You might want to search for terminal connectors to add additional wires to the battery terminal. amzn.to/3f79Pca What might also be different for you is you might need to find a way to get a 12v signal when the car is on/accessory mode. This is used to tell the subwoofer is on. Use T-Tap to only get audio signal from the B-Pillar. Not for power. The video to get audio from the B-Pillar will be uploaded tonight.

The Rockghost subwoofer senses the signal on the speaker-level inputs and turns on and off without the blue wire being connected to anything. The manual does not mention this, but it's good to know and may save someone from running additional wire.

    Great question and I wish I demonstrated that. Maybe in a follow up video. The answer is yes!. You disconnect the wire harness and the remote control, only at the wheel, you don't have to go through any of the trims. Then you unscrew the bolt that holds the woofer. Then take the subwoofer out and you can do your tire replacement.

    There is no remote to turn on/off. There is a wire that you have to supply power which will turn it on. I connected it to the 12v socket since that is powered only while the Rav4 is on/accessory mode.

    Hello, so I got the spare tire sub for my 2021 rav4 xle premiun. I'm ready to install. Using your video of course. I use T taps to connect the wires to the rear door? I noticed in another comment you said you used the head unit. 2. The power wire that runs to the battery. How do I get past the firewall? Thank you

    T-Taps are fine and are what I would use to get signal from the B-Pillar. I went to the head unit because I already had signal exposed when I installed an amp Firewall : kzread.info/dash/bejne/mGFn0aWuiKe3f84.html

When you summarize I noticed the blue remote wire is connected to a lever nut connector. My question, which idk how to ask.. once I t tap into the cigarette socket, and I have the red power cable, where does the blue wire come into play. Do I make sense?

    Blue is for signal to tell the sub to turn on. You want power sent to that when the car is on or accessory mode. In this case, I connect to the same port as the 12v since that only has power when car is on/accessory mode. You need to make sure the sub turns off when car is off otherwise you'll drain the battery.
