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

Reminds me of Tron....
Nice job

 

you must the luckiest guy, shoulda bought a lottery ticket. If it was me, would have gone through both side windows

 

Absolutely,.....

Front doors I went w/ Component Speakers https://www.crutchfield.com/p_575R165S/Rockford-Fosgate-R165-S.html

Rear doors I went w/ these Two Way https://www.crutchfield.com/p_575R1675X2/Rockford-Fosgate-R1675X2.html?

Comes w/ the Adapter Plates (you'll have to make your own for the Tweeter or just screw them to the door like I did) and the Wire Adapters.

 

Anyone know how these compare with the JBL Premium Audio system?

 

Made our way round-a-bout through the painted hills.

 

I hear ya! You have to hit a massive hook off the 18th tee to get to the parking lot. Guy was pretty accurate from 200+ yards.

 

Installed a hopkins 7flat/4pin combo on my base model.

 

I had one of these for a while. I called it the I-Beam.

 

Finally got some strobes mounted!



Still need to install my hideaways in the rear taillights, but yeah, at least I've got some on the front now.

 

Did you add any of this stuff yourself? Looking for a stove like that.

Nice setup!

 

the factory JBL premium speakers are much better quality than the base speakers are. Magnets and voice coils are huge in comparison, however the cones are still pressed paper. So you get a louder system with the JBL premiums, but no huge gain in sound quality over the base speakers. Those aftermarket Rockfords are another step beyond the JBL premiums, especially where sound quality is concerned. They'll be slightly louder too but you'll really need to amp them with proper RMS wattage to blast it much louder than your JBL premium speakers. The sound quality difference is noticeable even without an amp IMO

 

Thanks, this is what I was wondering.

 

The JBL Package rocks out pretty well. It's "too loud" for my 11yo. I think I could get a little more out of it, if the head unit had more than a 3 band equalizer. I have over come this a little bit with the output equalizer on Spotify. I haven't actually pulled a door panel off and looked at the speakers, kind of surprises me that you say they are just paper. (Not questioning you, just surprised)
I am a windows down, radio up kind of guy. Overall I am pleased with the factory upgrade. If it lacks anything specific, the JBL system could use a little more mids. I will more than likely replace it all one day, but its on the very bottom of a long mod wish list. Kicker and JL audio were my go to for years on speakers, Pioneer head units, but times have changed a little and I would need to do some research.

 

Do you by chance drive a toyota that is a trd? I cant tell from this photo

 

yea i have a trd sport. eventually will be an offroad in due time.

 

Yea its not really a mod I had considered previously... but as is tradition on this site, seeing other people do stuff makes you want to spend money... lol I think I'll hold off on the speaker upgrades, its not really a priority, since the stock JBL Premium Audio doesn't sound particularly bad to me.

 

I run these tires in KO2's with sport rims on 1inch blocks and have no issues with rubbing other than factory wheel well plastics, I ziptied them back a bit further and good to go

 

Um i need to do this!

 

Picked these up from a member on here. Can’t wait to install

 

How much were they? How many miles on them?
