The stock sound system in an 08 taco trd off road edition

the stock system in mine sucks it has no volume to it i was just wondering if anyone else had this issue or if theres just nothing wrong i had toyota look at it they said nothings wrong but does any one have any comments also does any one have any good suggestions about a good system also any comments on bass tubes my friend told me bout them

 

I personally didnt like the sound in my 06 it did seem low and so i changed the headunit and added a sub sounds so much better. I would go with a shallow sub no bass tube the bass tube will get in the way jmo.

 

what head unit did u option for and where would i put my sub i have no room in the back cuase i have the seats cause i have the 4door, thnx for the info tho

 

wrong section. there is an a/v section on here. stock system sucks ass but you can definately fit a couple of subs behind the rear seat. Dont waste your time with bass tubes - they are soo 1995.

 

stock system is junk

 

I got the pioneer 790bt which i dont think they make anymore with a pioneer shallow mount 10" sub sitting behing the driverside passenger seat the amp is sitting under my seat.

 

I wrote something sorta comprehensive here. For the sub, you will most likely need to remove the rear plastic, but here are two options (one , two). For more ideas, a thread was going on here.

Of course, Mr Marv's forum section would be a good place to ask questions as well. He is a good source for bouncing ideas off or getting things fabbed.

 

thnx everyone for yall opiouns

 

why would Toyota build a kickass truck then put such shitty system in it i no its trail truck but i love tunes just a much as when i cruisen round the city as i do riden trails and muddn. Any opinions on the this?

 

whats a good head to buy i dnt wana spend more then 150$?

 

go to crutchfield...type in your truck info, and see what fits. i have a pioneer deh-2100ib, and i like it alot...........but kenwood has some nice ones too.

 

All stock radios are crap.
There's no reason to put something good in when you can charge a captive audience $300 (or more) for $50 (or less) of quality.
the large majority of the public doesn't care, doesn't know about anything better, and doesn't want to spend any more
the radio is becoming more integrated into other portions of the vehicle

my dad fits part of the demographic: he loves the stock radio in his new car because his old car speakers/stereo is on its last legs. He doesn't want to replace it because he doesn't want to pay for it, won't know how to make it work, and worries that he would lose the functionality he already doesn't know how to use.

 

Agree 100%.
