Subwoofers and amps

I took out the crappy stock sub to fit the dog platform in.

I thought upgrading the door speakers to kicker 6x9s would suffice, but the stock head unit just can't power em properly.

Soooooo sub install. I was pressed for space as I wanted it to fit under my dog platform. Also wanted a quick disconnect if I needed to use back seats, and for when stu rides in the back. I went with an 8 inch kicker comp rt and a 300x1 amp tapped into the stock head unit.

Sounds great, I may invest in a new head unit and maybe bump up to a 10". The 8" fills out the cab, but something just isnt there at the low end.

 

Dark but you get the idea.

 

Looks awesome... bet it pounds

 

I wouldn’t bother replacing stock speakers. Just get a new head unit and a couple of 12s and you’re set

 

2 JL TW3’s powered with 2 JL JX500/1D amps. Also running JL C1 component speakers all around powered by a JL JX 4 channel amp

 

Yes. Yes it does. Its a fun party trick with anyone not familiar with the TW3 series. Nothing this thin hits like these things. It still doesn't rival the big name 12 and 15" subs but for as small as they are they're amazing. They'll pretty much bullet proof too.

 

Can’t wait to use mine some more.. just installed yesterday

 

I have an 8 inch JL sub with a 392 amp I believe (I'm new to audio tech), full Rockford speakers all around and and Kenwood DDX9703S head unit

 

13TW5 on a 500/1. and 900w up front on K2P's. no rear speakers for SQ. and a 5f cap.

 

Did you have to remove the plastic off the back of the seat and are those prebuilt JL boxes?

 

Looks awesome by the way!

 

Pioneer CD unit
Rockford Fosgate 6x9 and 1" tweet/crossover in the doors
2 MTX 12's behind me.

Megaloud 200W
JBL 600W

 

I DID NOT have to remove plastic on backnof seats. I DID have to cut the square metal bracket off the body of the truck. They ARE prebuilt by JL. Easy peasy, nice quality. Sub on each side and amp fits nicely between.

 

Never heard 13tw5 in person. Would like to.

 

Image Dynamics IDQ-10 and Arc Audio amps.

 

Friend hooked up a 12 in addition to my 2 12s and the amp didn’t make near enough power

 

in my last install i had 2 10W7's in a sealed box and the depth was just nuts. those long throw subs did a lot. since the Taco has no room for anything like that i wanted the 13TW5 because i figured if i can't get the depth in the Taco i can at least get the punch that the 13TW5 is known for. and yeah the punch is amazing. it just comes at the expense of depth.

 

Which amp are you using?

 

Just had this installed, them jl microsubs sound amazing for 8" subs, The focals are clear and crisp and just being able to keep the factory head unit is the Bonus
