Stock Radio

Hello everyone my 2015 double cab that I bought last year The radio that come in it is a double din touchscreen I listen to satellite radio all the time and my question is why does it sound so bad do you think I should talk to my dealer or just bite the bullet and upgrade the system any thoughts from you guys thank you very much .

 

I have a 2015 and they do suck from factory. I'm upgrading my whole system in a few weeks. I have done my other tacomas in the past.

 

If you don't mind me asking what are you going to be using for a receiver and speakers

 

Start with the speakers. The factory ones are crap. Choose a quality set (JL Audio, etc.) that will be good for future upgrades should you decide to add amps, signal processors, subs, etc.

Frankly, I left the stock h/u in mine, added a powered sub, ditched the factory speakers, and added an Alpine amp and JL's. Huge upgrade with minimal $$$.

 

I plan on keeping my headunit and going with Hybrid audio component speakers in the front doors and same brand in the rears for fill in. JL audio 4 channel amp with a 10 inch sub with a Kicker amp. Sound deadening everything.

 

Is it hard to install speakers or would you have it done thank you for any reply .

 

Did it myself. Piece of cake really, just remove the door panels, disconnect and remove the stock speakers, and install the new ones. Depending on the speaker size that you decide to go with, you might need to install adapter plates for them which you can easily find online or make your own. Probably a write-up somewhere here.

 

also, SAT radio is really terrible quality ....from 40-60kbps for music.

320kbps is nearly CD quality. HD FM radio [96-144kbps] is better than SAT.

 

Thanks SLOWCOMA I thought that might b it about SAT radio I just wasn't sure . Thanks everyone for your responses .
