what crazy or not crazy stereo ideas have you done to your 2nd gen!?

OK, so i just updated, and changed this.

I am trying to decide on some things. Let me know what you guys think.

Eclipse AVN-726e (have it) or stock deck
1 MTX 9500 12" dual 4 ohm 1000w rms (have it)
new single boxe tuned properly (will have to have it built)
Xtant X1001 Class D (trying to find one)
^upgrade modules for Xtant
Hertz components (need to get)
older high end 2 channel amps x2 (have a few, just have to pick the right ones)
kinetic HC2400 (have)
upgrade the "big 3"


What do any of you know, or have experience here?

Old xtant, specifically the X1001 is a Monster ($1200 in its time) rated (actually rated) at 1000w @ 2 ohm (4 ohm coil x 2 in parallel)

MTX 9500, i really like them.. and i already have them, so i will use one. Maybe someday go back to JLw7 but was not extremely impressed with thier reliability

 

Originally I was thi thinking about mounting an ipad mini for Nav, Tunein radio, etc via Bluetooth. But the more I think about it I think I'll just get a Garmin & use the iPhone for music.

 

I used to have a garmin. I used google navigation now on my cell phone (android) and ill never look back, although i really liked the 3d navigation in my Eclipse AVN726e back when i bought it. Maps are all outdated now im sure.

In the vendor section there is a really cool mount for an ipad or any other accesory if you do decide to go that route.

 

is it difficult to wire the stock steering wheels controls to an aftermarket stereo deck?

 

Try doing a pioneer double din deck and a couple Rockfordfosgate sub's and amps plus some good woofers and tweeters and you should be good

 

i have not done it yet. you have to buy a interface box and its supposed to be pretty easy. but time will tell i guess.

 

Not a damn thing lol

 

Pacific Accessory Corporation has a range of steering wheel control boxes I have used on Tacomas and other Toyotas in the past:
