sphincter control

heeeey so since yesterday when i posted this, i made some good progress - i found an acc power, which is from the amp under the seat and the amp in the boot now definately has constant power :) for some reason, i quadruple checked this with multi meter, and key in off, acc and on positions, not a single wire from the existing wiring harness of the old stereo has power. checked every fuse, got my dad to double check to. nothing so i ran new wire from the acc power i found under the seat and got that, but stil no constant power...but ive decided to give up looking, and just go power a few metres of power wire and run a new constant fro the battery terminal... question is - will i need to run an inline fuse with this new wire?? or will the fuse in the back of the head unit be enough cheers

this is for me 1993 es300! ok so a while ago i asked on here about by-passng the amp and....and have just finished doing that, running all new speaker wire from the old amp wiring harness direct to where my newhead unit is going ive run power cable on one side, and amp and remote cables down other side of car to boot for amp_sub but--i cant get any power to the head unit...and i also think the amp i used a voltmeter on all the wires in the dash, after cutting them away from the factory harness, and got nothing on any of them ive checked every fuse in the car, as well as in the cd player and they are all fine absolutly racking my brain trying to work out why the head unit wont power up! also-everyone says the power wire is grey, but i dont have a grey one-but in position 4 int he original wiring harness was a red wire which i used instead...also no reading on voltmeter so now my car is sitting in the driveway pulled apart and silent...please can someone help me get power to it i have nooo idea what ive done wrong! thanks heeeaps

ok so i have another question- rekon it be better to bypass the amp? or integrate it... will any speakers still run from the factory amp? and can i still hookup another amp to the heady for subs? cheers

ahh yer i thought about just rewiring the whole lot..i got a step by step do doing this-but seems pretty easy..just ive never had to rund wiring down under the floor or anything so a bit iffy on how ill go at that is all... i think im guna have to try before i buy approach and take the stock cd player out n whack mine in see how it goes...if it doesn't work..then havta decide whether to buy this harness...only like $10 delivered from eBay, orrr new wire to speakers...think ill try thr harness first as it seems alot quicker and easier haha..probly go strate for the amp intergration harness to cover my bases to ahah

ok so i just got a 92 es300 and have my pioneer head unit from my last car...which i wrote off and want to install it. i thought before attempting, id read up a bit and it seems that people have said you must have a wring harness for an aftermarket cd player... im goin to buy a dash mounting kit, but do i really need a wiring harness? i installed this in my last car, which was a toyota-so would it just be similar to that? also, either way if i do or don't need this wiring harness, how can do i know if theres a factory amp in the car - and if there is, do i need to buy an amp integration wiring harness or will it work fine? one other quick question-what size are the speakers in both sets of doors? cheers heeeaps for any help ;)
