[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8658724, member: 576029"] you need a separate wire pair per speaker. you will need to run new wire to the trunk to intercept the separate speaker wiring - four wire pairs for 8 conductors total). easiest way to do this is get some Speedwire (9 conductors color coded to match Metra standards - you won't use the blue wire) you are shorting the amplifier outputs in the Toyota radio. it likely has voltage on both (+) and (-) signal wires (common for most head units). so by combining the (-) wires is the same as combining the (+) wires - which will cause your issue.
