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

How do they sound? I need to do this to my truck, but I know I'll also have to fabricate brackets.
The stock cones are just small full range speakers which is why they sound like crap. You really need a true tweeter in that location.

 

I'm super impressed considering their small size and I'm working on plans to flush-mount another set into the rear doors. The vocals went from being muddy to crystal clear (partially my fault considering I installed a mid-range with no voice coil in the lower door). But the OE ones were blown for sure.

 

It looks like removing the door panel isn't too complicated, though I hate dealing with all the electrical controls. Did you have any issues or was it fairly easy to get to the speakers?

Also, I like the plastic adapters, but I'd be worried about rattles. I'm wondering if a composite wood might be better to contain vibrations. Just something I've learned from building home speakers. Hard materials tend to transmit a lot of vibration.

 

Once you remove the door panel the speakers are right there. No rattle from the adapters - hardly any surface area to them anyway.

 

My thoughts exactly.

 

I put a bead of silicone between adapter and door and adapter and speaker.

 

Work in progress RTMR project. Following @tacozord extremely well done DIY thread.

 

Finally got around to getting my @amirak decals installed last night. My advice: 1 - Have a solid (1-2 hours) amount of interruption free time. 2 - Follow the instructions provided on the JupiterOnEarth site. 3 - Be Patient (hardest part).

Nobody like a dirty Taco, especially when you're trying to screw something in.

 

That is one good looking truck!

 

I got my Taco Dirty this weekend and I liked it

 

We charge $4,000 to powder coat Pelfreybilt bumpers.....

Just for future reference, we could have easily shaved 20lbs off the weight of our bumper and put the plug behind the plate if you would have asked.
