Need a Wiring Harness for a JBL system....and a radio question.

[falcinator]

Well, my dash is apart, bought a radio and now I'm urgently trying to find a brick and mortar retailer that carries a wiring harness for a JBL 04' Prius. I've searched the web and this forum and the likely candidate seems to be one manufactured by Bazooka for their self powered subwoofers.

I just wanted to know if anyone has had any experience with this harness or knows of any other one that would work with a JBL. I'm in a bit of a rush as of my dash being torn asunder and would prefer a solution asap.

I'm curious about dealers too, would they have a compatible one in stock?

I picked up this dash player very cheaply at Wal-Mart last night, $80.

I had just bought a JVC kd-g820 minutes earlier but what attracted me to this model was not only a usb front port but also a SD slot and a front line in jack. Has anyone heard of this company and will it be an incredibly substandard product compared to the JVC....?

I used one to avoid having to cut into the factory wiring. I doubt you'll be able to find one locally without special ordering it. Here is what it looks like:



Attached is a picture of using the harness for a purpose other than what it was originally intended. I've cut into all twelve of the speaker leads so I can tap the signal out of the JBL amp to drive another amp with line level inputs (lower JBL connector), then tapped back into the harness (upper JBL connector) so the output of the other amps can drive the speakers using the factory wiring (except for the rear doors, since there are new crossovers mounted inside).
