I have a 2003 Toyota Tundra v8. Can I run a Gray 300 with a Galaxy 99 0n it putting out 300+ watts? I have heard that the RF could get into the computers & mess things up. Toyota can't or won't tell me.

The key is amply feed of current and ground to the amp. If your feed wire is short, use 8ga fine stranded wire for hot and ground direct from the battery, fuse it at the battery with a 40a fuse. Run a 2nd ground from the case of the amp direct to frame or seat bolt. Make sure that the amp when in max power does not have more than 100w AM carrier, and swr is below 1.5.

IMHO,also make sure antenna's base is above the vehicle top and all movable body panels are grounded,was told by plymouth that my radio and boot setup would ruin the computer unless the antenna was set above and to the rear of top to keep stray rf from entering the computer from dash wireing,I have a Plymouth gran voyager,glass does not keep rf out,if rf is cooking your computer imagine what it's doin to your eyes,huh.
