MARYLAND TACOMAS

Agree, however the first one is a bit of a learning experience. Not hard just follow directions.

Since there is no amp involved I would stay away from componet speakers.

Lots of decent choices that do not need an amp to reproduce the sound. I would probably go with some Pioneer speakers if you are purchasing a Pioneer HU.

I would also look at a 6 1/2 in speaker rather than a 6X9 speaker. For most of the round speakers the diaphram has more travel distance than a larger 6X9 resulting in better bass sound reproduction.

Also do yourself a favor and look at spraker rings from Mr. Marv, a vendor on TW. Upstanding vendor that makes a quality project.

How soon are you looking to do the install and where in MD do you live?

 

Consensus is 6 1/2 is better than 6x9's? I'm thinking of doing a speaker upgrade also. I'm hoping that just speakers will make a difference, cause I find myself turning this thing to "60" all the time and it's not loud enough...

And 2 sets of 6 1/2's is less than 100 bucks shipped. I've done car stereo stuff before, my mustang in high school was a bit ridiculous.. Eight 12's 700 watts a piece through them... 4 wired for pushing, and 4 more on the opposite end of the tube wired for pushing, the entire trunk was a giant speaker box / amp and capacitor enclosure.. Extra batteries and all.. A bit much but I'm a kid of the early 90's...

 

I am running a set of BA SA90's and the bass is enough for me. I have an EX cab so sound in the rear is not a big deal. I also did not want to lose the little room I have to a sub enclosure. I am an old fart.

The speaker diaphram has more travel room so they can produce a cleaner lower feequency. That is what makes a great bass speaker. Greater distance of travel to produce a longer wave length.

 

Tis true but i like to have fun.

I may be old but I am not dead.

 

That's all that matters.

 

I'm thinking of selling my BHLM's to get some projector halo lights from eGay. Before I make a f/s thread is there anyone here that would be interested in them? There isn't any cracks or broken anything either.

 

I have some Toyota Carpeted Floor Mats for a 2010 Tacoma crew cab in Gray. Great condition as I they were only in the truck for a few weeks. $50.00

I also have the 2013 Owner's Manual Set. $15.00

I will also be selling a set of 2010 Weather Tech for a Crew Cab once I order my set for the 2012. These are a little beat up and they fit the 2012 except for the latching points i have the new turn connectors and the mat was designed for the old style hooks. Price not determined yet.

I don't want to ship so I figured I would give you all first shot.

I will post pics

 

Are you planning to retrofit the new headlights? Generally I hear that style has bad light output issues...I've read online that some of them for my Civic actually used a fog light bulb as the low beam...

 

How much?

 

So I started a thread about a problem I've been having with my truck. You guys got any input?

Steve you work at toyota dont you? Could you ask around?

 

I live in Timonium..And like I said Im looking for speakers that will sound great with all types of music but not too pricy.

 

I heard the same thing about other lights too. I know 2 different people with the lights that I want and they said they are pretty good. Plus I am putting hids in them so maybe they will work better.

Haven't put too much thought into it really. If I had to rate them I would give them a 95% because there is a little tiny chip in the black paint. Vey very small. Honestly I never notice it unless I am waxing my truck. I have seen a lot of them selling around $80- $100. I think I would be in that range if I don't have to ship them. I also need to buy the new headlights before I give the lights up. So I would order them when they sell.

I actually quit working there last month. Couldn't stand the hours and I was offered a really sweet job with my father in law.

 

Steve I would be interested could you send me pics or post pics you may have to ship them I'm clear on the other end of the state from you I'm in no hurry just been thinkin of doing a bhlm but an nervous to tear mine apart

 

So the Eastern Outdoor show aka (Harrisburg Show) Has officially been cancelled and possibly postponed till a later date. Just info for anyone that was interested in going

 

Yes. I'll take some pictures when I have a chance and post them here.

 

Sounds good thanks

 

This is BULLSHIT!!

 

What do you guys think about the redlight cameras? This is my pic. This car is at at complete stop is it not. Look at the wheels no movement. Brake lights on.And they think I am giving them fukkers 75.00.
