    BC23A - Great Product!
    4 Stars
    BC23A - Great Product!
    I installed this product in a 2008 Toyota Tacoma in the overhead console. This a great product. Easy to install, fits perfectly and works great. Speaker sound is very clear. Four stars is the max I will give it. You will need to purchase Low Profile Add-A-Circuit to hardwire it to the vehicle. I also replaced the hanging bracket with industrial strength velcro because it hung down to low and blocked the mirror. Check out the photos, hope this helps and I would recommend purchasing this speaker.
