What's the Avg cost for a speaker system?

I was wondering how much it would be to install a speaker/subwoofer system in my taco. I also want to know what kind of speakers to buy. All answers are greatly appreciated!

 

What he said...

It all depends on what you want. And what you want it to do.

Like the head unit.. There are so many... from 59.99 to shooot over a grand just for a head unit. So it can be pricy.

 

Oh and welcome to TW

 

Thanks guys, i never expected to get a reply in 5 minutes. Any reccomendations on speakers though?

 

JL, Diamond audio

 

$500 will get you a decent deck and speakers. Once you get into amp/subs it varies a lot depending on size, power, number of subs etc.

 

How much are 6.5in usually?

 

I got JL Audio's and they were about $120.00 each.

 

Alright Thanks

 

who gave you neg rep

 

u know I think I got one too

 

Sorry i might have accedentally clicked the wrong button, i was just trying to be nice. I will give you guys good rep when it will let me

 

I have Focal 165 KR. If you have the means I highly recommend them. AMAZING sound quality.

A full sound system usually runs 1000-4000 dollars in materials and equipment on average.

You can also spend a fortune on sound deadening to improve the quality of your sound system or spend under 100 bucks.

I kind of went nuts on everything.

 

I have to agree Focal makes the best speakers i have ever heard. I just put the Focal 165CVX and the Focal 165VB in my truck with a JL 320 4 Channel. Sounds amazing you can hear things that were never reproduced in other speakers. My girlfriend has Hertz and they sound good but the Focal sound way better in my opinion. Good luck with your search!

 

You're not telling the truth,,, the "$0" just isn't realistic

 

yes huh! someone could give them to him

 

Opinions on speakers... Personally, I am not a huge Focal fan. Good speakers, and probably some of the nicer you will find in places like Car Toys, or other shops.

I have had systems run the gamut of stock head + super expensive gear, all the way to a basic deck + speakers. Call it anywhere from a $600 system to multiple systems running multiple thousands of dollars. But then, I install my own, and know a fair bit about what I want, and how to get it - and am willing to pay for it...

For an average user that wants better sound, and to not research and test, and swap out gear, and research more, etc - go to a (trusted) local shop, let them set you up, and be happy.

Stay away from stuff by Jenson, Pyle, Boss, etc. Go to a shop that sells Pioneer, JBL, Alpine, JL Audio, etc. Ask about the features you need, talk about budget, and call it a day.

 

I bought 4 eclpise 6.5 from Crutchfield, about 130.00

 

While I found Focal bright on a sound board... in a Tacoma they are not. The K2 series 165 KR, because of the very off axis stock tweeter location, do not sound bright or harsh at all.

Its like that speaker was custom made for a Tacoma install. I figured I would have to attenuate the tweeter since I dislike bright tweeters but the 165kr just sounds perfect with no harshness set totally flat. I did have to reverse the polarity on my tweets to get it to sound right though. I have never heard a clearer speaker.

The downside is it completely exposes any flaw in the source material.

 

Since i don't really know what or how to do things, should i get a shop to install or figure it out from the mfg.?
