What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

i saw speakers in the thread image...

i personally run dayton esoteric 7" drivers in one vehicle, and peerless hds-nomex(paper hybrid)6.5" in the tacoma. the esoteric's have a much larger voice coil, i had been hoping for slightly 'fuller' lower-midbass out of them from the perceived increased control

but it's really only part of the problem. the second part is the low power rating of the factory radio, and the third part is the factory-implemented eq curve to attempt to make the rear speakers to make them seem something they're not.

for me, just changing the radio was a huge improvement in audio quality, due in part to a small power boost, but mostly in dealing with the factory eq. it's still not loud or clear enough for me, but at least held me over for some time.

 

If you like your peerless speakers, check these things out. They are LAT speakers (made by peerless). Each one has ten 2 inch cones and a voice coil on each side. So each bank of 5 cones go the opposite of the other bank. This results in no vibration, just sound. Each one is the same as a 8 inch woofer.
I have had them in a closet since 2008, still have yet to figure out what to do with them.

Alpine made a system that used these woofer (bigger versions) in 2006 or 2007, but it never took off because it looked funny and cost too much.






Here is a good video of the alpine version to show the cone movements

 

ordered some "blemish" gen5s from vin. third set of SCS wheels. stoked to get them

 

this is getting out of hand

 

Short people problems

 

How short do you have to be to lower the hood? lol

 

Oh man !! Maybe you’ll get lucky and it didn’t go all the way threw

 

Liked my supercharger when I had it on my 4Runner. Hope it’s the same on the Tacoma.

 

Ordered a California legal K&N Air filter Over nighter
I figure the K&N Sticker a lone on the air tube is worth a few ponies

 

Nice !! What kind of power are you gaining with that beauty ?

 

I don’t need no strap to reach

 

Are those jackets worth it?

 

This is like asking someone to choose their favourite Olsen twin….

 

For the record, those count as a “mod.”

 

Your taco has nipple rings?

 

Why not both

 

I put the kickers in my truck and I’m a little disappointed with them. They do sound much better than the oem ones, but they’re not as good as the JBL’s that I put in my other pickup and they cost about the same.

 

They call me potato salad

 

Yesterday I swapped out my TRD-OR grill for a Taco Vinyl TRD-Pro grill. Added some smoked white raptor lights and changed out the lame OE fogs to amber Diode Dynamics LED Pro with the backlighting.
