speakers

so i have a 04 prerunner xtra cab, and the speakers need a rework. no bass. highs and mids are great, but no bass sucks. anyway, what size are the speakers by the jump seats? and any pics of your installs?

 

I used 5x7 Infinity. I think 6x8 work too depending on brand.

but I also use subs for actual bass

 

Yes! If you wanna go boom boom you need to throw in a good quality sub. I went with Focal fronts+rears with a 10" sub and two Alpine amps. Crystal clear and nice tight bass

 

I'm too old for the boom boom, lol. Just need a better,richer sound.

 

I've got 10' in a bandpass box with amp. But it's a Lil overkill for the truck..I'd have no room in there.

 

At 41, me too! But I was looking for the same thing. The peeps over at Crutchfield will point you in the right direction. I don't believe I could have went with 6x9's in the access cab without modifications. The 5x7's are definitely the weak link in my system. Not sure if you have a stock head unit but replacing my head unit definitely made my stock speakers a lot better!

 

Yea, at 42 my boom boom days are over.the days of 4 12'school behind the seats are over.

 

The front door speakers are 5-1/4"s. They also have an option to put 6.5's in your kick panels which will definitely bring a little more bass in.


Company is called Q logic. Crutchfield sells them

 

Stock non jbl,which looks like a jbl without the badge.I've been looking at Crutchfield but the don't list the speakers by the jump seats.what's a good head unit now days? Something with hands free calling

 

The options are endless. I grabbed mine (a double din) off of a guy at work. If you punch in your vehicle in the Crutchfield website and specify your looking for a head unit it'll give you 4 pages of options. Someday I'm going to switch out mine for one with GPS.

 

incorrect. the fronts are also 5x7, but very shallow (only a few brands will work). there are adapters to get 5 1/4 & 6 1/2 (I have these) in there though.

 

I just put my Tom Tom up on windshield. .

 

You are correct sir. I just remembered I went with a Scoshe adapter to make my 5-1/4's fit.

 

I'm gonna have to go thru theyre website

 

the only problem with that is the location of the head unit. I generally use my phone with a windshield mount for GPS. Google Maps/Waze is updated constantly compared to built-in GPS

 

I use my iPhone

 

Tell me you don't use apple maps, my kid does and he's always getting lost..lol

 

I had a really good 4 channel amplifier installed under the passenger seat and replaced all the existing speakers (6" I believe) with Bose speakers and I had some MB Quartz speakers (1 1/2" dia.)installed on the doors opposite of the outside side mirrors. Those are my highs and I simply bought a 10" Bazooka speaker for my bass which sits on the floor board. I kept my original radio that came with the truck to keep thieves away. I've learned the hard way. All that is simple but effective cause I HAVE to have my music.

 

Agreed. I can't stand that it's so low. It sucks that it took them so long to figure out that a head unit makes more sense up high vs low. I totaled a 95 Taurus by simply hitting the eject button. Two seconds, eyes off the road and F-250 decided to stop on the highway

 

I've got some mtx 8'so in boxes in the garage I might play with. Maybe grab a amp. I just don't want some hood rat popping a window out for them. I working in richmond ca.
