What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

Putting speakers in but......this little fucker is holding up the whole show

i pushed in on the ribbed tab but NOTHING about this harness is "sliding" out. Does the whole white piece slide out or just the little sleeve with all the wires attached in it?

Any suggestions? (before cutting wheel)

 

The chrome on the cups is actually kinda nice.

 

If there aren't any other tabs and isn't coming out when you depress that tab, try using a small flat head screwdriver to gently pry it out. Sometimes they're just difficult.

 

Thanks man. I'll give it a try

 

NEVERMIND. GOT IT. little bitch was stuck in there

 

Good God...i weighed my flip flop and it weighed more than these little shitpiles.



Green LED installed for GLOW



DONE!

 

You Should add this:

$290 Alpine KTP-445U Universal Power Pack

Alpine KTP-445U Power Pack


Now put one of these and they will sound great.

Installed mine on top of the head unit ,lots of wire splicing but its worth it.

Installed in line with all the speakers and powered it up with one of the spare outlets.

let me know if you need the color codes for speaker wires...

 

Badass how do they sound with a stock unit? How hard was the install besides the little clip lol

Did you do the rears as well?

 

Now you've got me thinking....

 

Added led lights to the map lights, wired them off the dome light so that they come on when i unlock or open the doors. The picture is me soldering wires together to connect to the dome light so I don't have to splice or cut any wires. There is a lead that comes off this that connects to both map lights which are now led boards similar to this.

Replaced the door speakers with 6.5" component speakers

That's it for today.

 

NICE

Amps and a sub are next

 

With my 10" DVD HU they sound amazing. Lot o thump and loud ( I've had stereo systems in my vehicles in the $5000 range over the years) for right now this will do until I add a sub and 2 amps.

Install was simple except the rear door spacers I bought. They wouldn't fit the rear fosgates so I had to take tin snips cut plastic away and modify the hell out them but they worked great when done.

Only other thing that really pissed me off was losing every single pin except for one in the upper panels of each of the 4 doors Now I need to find them on EBAY or something to replace them.

These little bastards:

 

See if you can find em here http://www.clipsandfasteners.com/mobile/default.aspx and then check for them on ebay.
if this is it?

What subs and amp you lookin at. I want to get 2 15 inch soundqubed hdc3 or 4s and 2 of there 2200 watt amps but i dont think alternator wise i can really do that.. thattle be in the future for me anyhow lol

 

Thanks man

 

I picked up another piece for my trailer build. I wad going to use this truck vault for my bed but it's way too big. Now I'll use it as the floor.

 

A little plasti-dip to pass the time...

 

After having competition type systems in my vehicles of the past , I'm dumbing it way down. I ain't 25 anymore If I find something I like that has great reviews and is fairly inexpensive then I'll go for it. I research the shit out of stuff and monitor prices daily. My DVD head unit was under $100.00 (it's $176.00 now) , my 2 headrest monitors were free. My new Fosgate fronts and rears were less than $60.00 total now over $80.

Now i want an amp to run fronts n rears and a 10" shallow sub in a box with amp behind rear seat.

Thinking something along these lines:
