What is this?

I'm lookin' to buy my first tacoma and saw this online. Is it a subwoofer? Aftermarket i assume...And what do ya think? Thanks

 

I believe that was one of the optional subwoofers that came with the 2009+ tacomas

 

That is a sub...Pretty sure it's the stock JBL set up...

 

factory jbl sub. its an option most do not get.ive only seen them in a xcab nver a d/c

 

I don't know whether the sub is JBL, but my '09 access cab has one with the plain non-JBL single disc head unit.

 

Ha! I think you may be right!

 

looks like the original XBOX.

 

lol thats what i was thinkin'! But yea it is a 2009 so maybe its not aftermarket at all...kinda funny i never liked the access cab until this...

 

Part of the optional sound system upgrade, the JBL system is NOT required to get the subwoofer. So don't think just because it has the subwoofer that it has the JBL. As a matter of fact i have it with my single cd radio, i don't even have the non-jbl 6 disk.

 

Double cab JBL sub is mounted behind the rear passenger seat back. Thank god Toyota didn't try to display that gaudy pile of rubbish in a double cab.

 

haha..word

 

Comes with the JBL package. My 09 has the "flux capacitor" too.

When my truck rolled up at the lot and I saw that: "What the hell is that", "did I pay extra for that?", "will my truck be cheaper if you take it out?"...

I like it now. Speaker is ok, at least compared to not having one. And it is always a conversation starter when people get in my truck for the first time.

After getting tired of explaining it I just tell them it's a Flux Capacitor and drive off. It doesn't get in the way as much as you might think, I don't even notice it anymore.

 

From this angle it looks like an extreme child restraint system.

 

I'll tell ya what it is....
