Hybrid Model Aftermarket Audio Systems

Hi All.
Just bought this 2025 Pro last month. I am a sound snob and DO NOT like the supposed JBL upgrade that came with the truck. That said, prior to taking it to an audio shop, I'm trying to figure out where to mount a beefy amplifier. Typical spot would be under the rear seats, but that's where the hybrid batteries are located, and inaccessible. Perhaps there is space underneath there? Not sure if that would effect warranties as well.... New speaker and sub locations are obvious.
Anyone have experience with this?
Thanks in advance!

 

under the rear seat is packed with your hybrid batteries. No way an amp is going in there.
I'm not a sound snob but I'm spoiled with my BMW sound system in a 10 year old car and this Taco upgraded sound system sounds like a standard audio to me.

 

I thought I would give this a try. Looks like it will boost the performance of the Taco Audio. Don't have to worry about hybrid battery issues.

You could probably fit a pair of these in the back.

 

I installed a BeatSonic amp in my 24 Pro. Big upgrade in sound quality but still not what I am used to.

 

I put my amp and dsp under the rear seat next to the hybrid battery.. plenty of room

 

No room under the front seats ?

 

Thanks. Would like to see what it looks like under there. Any pictures of that install?

 

No. It's very tight with the air ducting and all

 

Thanks. Where did you install the Beatsonic amp?

 

This is where my Amp is located behind the seat back and the DSP is next to the hybrid battery

 

Thanks! What did you do for speakers?

 

Changed all the speakers to Focal.. outstanding sound and if I turn up the bass boost it will rattle all the windows

 

Nice! I put Focal's in two previous toyo's. How does the sub perform? It doesn't look boxed...

 

Factory sub.. all it needs is some power

 

Would you mind sharing the details/build sheet/invoice? I've ran Focals in the past and I am really wanting to upgrade the sound in my Pro. Not enough information out there for the Hybrids. I am waiting on a model-specific subwoofer enclosure for behind the seat, but nothing is out yet. I do want to get the ball rolling with good front and rear speakers in the meantime. Any info helps!

 

@h0lden look at this post. @slater does a ton of work for ya.

It goes in the dash behind the radio, to the right or behind the center speaker.
Very simple process you tube installation of the amp. Straight foward

 

beat sonic with Focals is not your answer, waste of funds....
beat sonic isnt going to push a quality speaker like a focal to the point where it makes sense to put all that money down on a quality speaker like focal.
Get a PAC AP4 TY 14 & a real amp.....
Not a tonka toy....
