    Well, here goes nothing. Im placing an order this week to replace everything in the truck.

    Please let me know what you guys think of the listed equipment and if everything will work together. Im a newb with doing this myself, but refuse to pay the audio shop in maryland $4,000 for head unit, speakers, amp, sub, enclosure, install...


    1) Pioneer AVH-4100NEX Head unit
    2) Alpine SWR-T10 shallow mount woofer
    3) Kenwood KAC-7005PS 5 channel Amp
    4) Rockford Fosgate P165-SI front speakers
    5) Rockford Fosgate T1675 Full Range rear speakers

    I plane on making a box as of now and remove the back storage of the 2016 Taco. However, who knows I may buy or get someone on here to make one and pay them.... Up in hte air on hte box at the moment.

    The real place I need help is making sure the listed gear will all behave appropriately. Thanks in advance TW Memebers!

    All that will work just fine. Your sub may be more capable than the rest, but it should all work together.

    Which Entune HU do you currently have? Many of us have had good results by keeping the Entune HU and just replacing the speakers and adding an amp. Might want to consider that approach, if you're not happy you can always replace the HU later. I also added sound deadening and it was well worth it.

    when I get around to upgrading mine, I was planning on using one of these powered subs...
    http://www.jlaudio.com/car-audio-subwoofer-systems-amplified-microsub in the back of my AC, probably with a strap to keep it from sliding around.

    these speakers in front, http://www.jlaudio.com/c5-650-car-audio-speakers-c5-speaker-systems-99104 using milled plastic adapters from http://www.car-speaker-adapters.com/items.php?id=SAK010 (the 6.5" 1" deep version), and I haven't decided what deck, but I want a double din unit with decent navigation.

    Bilstein 5100 with 884 Springs. Full audio system. Stealth 6 Wheels. Cali led light.
    Sounds like a good setup. I'm doing my Tacoma in 2 weeks. My Vette has Rockford speakers with components in the door. T3 and Rockford sub with Kenwood 900x5 channel amp and Kenwoods double din GPS. Car is all sound deadening and kicks ass. Your truck should sound really good with that setup.
