OEM AUDIO PLUS DOOR SPEAKERS

I didnt notice it distorted at all, to me it was barely audible.

 

Oh interesting because the other user said he experienced it. So if you were to adjust the gain knob without the sub amp how would that sound? I’m just trying to not to justify my self a couple hundred more bucks for the sub amplifier.

 

You only get a gain knob with the sub amp. I had to control bass with the EQ

 

EQ from your cell phone or the truck’s head unit i’m guessing?

 

Truck's head unit.

 

how would it sound though if you cranked the bass to max on head unit?
Because i feel like thats a secondary option as opposed to the sub amplifier.

 

I used to do it before I had the secondary amp (when I felt like it). Cranking it to max would make it equivalent to about 1/4 gain on the sub control. It would also put more bass thru the speakers.

 

Would you say the extra bass from the door speakers make up for the sub or?

 

When the weather was warm - it was tolerable. But my wife's GS350 definitely had more bass from the factory system. So I ended up buying the upgrade because I wanted more control.

Better question. What type of music do you listen to?

 

I listen to quite a variety; electronic, rap, pop and etc..
So i’m definitely trying to research about this system. I need all lows, mids and highs.

 

No way I'd buy those speakers. If I was going to go that type of route I'd get the exact fit Focals!

Get the separate sub amp. You'll thank me later.

 

I have thought about the focal but for the price is high and they’re useless without an amp. Secondly the oem harness isn’t even long enough to reach the focal speakers.

 

The Focals have a sensitivity rating of 92db (I don't know what the OEM + is). But all you have to do is un snap the wires for one of the clips and the wires will reach. Honestly I don't understand why they didn't just put the wiring clip in the factory position.

 

the OEM + door speakers are 90db

 

Welp time to save up then :’(

 

OEM+ speakers are great too, no need to get the focals (unless you want to run 100w RMS to each speaker, and not use the OEM plus system).

 

FYI dude's selling his OEM+ speaker kit. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/tacoma-2018-sound-upgrade.575361/#post-24396387 - see what he will take for them?
I pieced mine together. first did AMP, 8" sub and tweeters. then got the speakers. then got the second sub with separate amp.

 

Im looking at getting this system soon. Is the single amp enough for the speakers and single sub, or do I need an amp for each?

 

What kind of music do you listen to?
