Audio Amplifier????

[banshee08]

About to start my audio upgrade and was wonder if there is actually a JBL amplifier in the Rav4 EV? I need to access the speaker output..

Thanks in advance.

I see that you were in the other thread here...

I started to do what LastEmp did and purchased a Cleansweep, and I still have some old skool Soundstream amps that I'm going to run. I still haven't setup the system yet. Just so busy.

But from what everyone has said in that other thread, there is no dedicated "line-level" output to a stock OEM amp. So you have to use an inline digital processor (like the CS) and then you get your RCA outputs, etc.

Plus I've heard that if you try and upgrade the OEM speakers... it can be a real pill... because they are tuned to the headunit.

Yeah I just got my Bit ONE processor and wanted to figure out where to tap into the speaker level out. I took the trunk apart to work on the sound matting last month and did not notice an amplifier on the passenger side rear.
