06 doublecab sound system

my system so far. Removed brace on back wall to make room for 2 jl audio 12w1v4, removed storage bins under seats to make room for jl 1000/1 and jl 300/4. spaced seats out 1" on bottoms and made brackets to extend seat latches. still have to design and fiberglass an amp rack under the seat, router out my tacoma emblem i drew for the speaker box. All in all the system sounds great. all ways looking for ideas and any are welcome.

 

me likie.

 

Looks way awesome man keep up the good work!!

 

Thats some good work. Do you have a fan for the amps? I know they get pretty hot, especially when the most important part of the heat sink gets blocked. I have the 300/4, 300/2 and the 250/1 and they all get pretty hot to the touch even with the gains less then 1/8 from min...

 

those are some thin LCD's... what are they and what are they hooked up to?

 

Steved411 the screens are tview 11" screens. I bought them off of eBay can't remember how much I paid for them. I did recover them before I installed them. They are hooked up to a pioneer 4200 in the dash. The picture is great. My girls love them.

Supersuk thanks man. I have fans are on the way as we speak. Going to install them as soon as they get here. The amps do run hot if cranked up for awhile.

Thanks for the comments. But I need more give me some ideas I'm always willing to try and go above and beyond with my ride to do some installs. I like doing what people say can't be done. I was told by a bunch of people there was no way you can get 2 12" speakers in there and it sound good and still keep the backseats. Well I did it and still have room. System sounds good also. Like I say I Strive to do what people say can't be done. But it does bite me in the ass sometime. Lol

 

Also wanted to throw a thank you out to a7xt and tacomaintrainng.

 

BTW, did you notice a difference after removing the rear brace? Just curious cause that does make it a lot easier to fit larger subs that require larger boxes...

 

damn looks sick i can't wait to start audio on my car

 

Supersuk.....I have not noticed a difference yet. I kept the brace and have got an idea if it starts giving me a problem. I'm either going to try and put the brace on the back of the wall in between the cab and bed or just take some flat bar and weld it on the back of the wall. But it hasn't giving me a problem.

 

Thats good to know. What was involved in removing the brace? If I could remove the brace, i could make more room for two of my dayton HO10's ported!

 

Any pics of your head unit install ? I like what you've done so far. I have an awesome stereo set up waiting to go in. I'm just not sure how I want to set it up yet.

 

how did you get your back panels off?

 

supersuk...I removed the brace with a drimmel grinder. I grinded where the spot welds are. Just be careful and go slow so you dont put a hole in the back wall. just becareful and slow with it if thats what you want to do.

prbulldog......sorry i dont have pics


07tacoridah....the back panels just unbolt and snap off

 

Did you raise your seat bottoms too? How'd you get those to fit?

 

Yes mrmumbles I spaced the bottoms also. I saw yur post about the seat latch that's cool I'm going to have to check that out. If you have any questions just let me know.

 

I think I can see in the pic of your amp where you added some spacers to the seat bottom bolts. Did it affect those clips under the seat at all? I believe they're for if you get in an accident the seat bottom doesn't fly forward.

Also, did you adjust the bottom end of the seat backs somehow?

 

u shouldnt have had to remove the rear brace, especially since u can fiberglass, this is what i have now, which might get replaced with 2 dvc 12's, or i might just build a bigger box for these 10's

 

MRMUMBELS--YES I SPACED THE SEATS ALL THE WAY AROUND. IT DOESNT MAKE A DIFFERENCE ON THE SEAT BOTTOMS IF ANYTHING IT MADE THEM TIGHTER AGAINST THE HOOKS. BELIEVE ME THEY WILL NOT FLY UP. AFTER CHRISTMAS I WILL TRY AND GET SOME MORE PHOTOS OF EVERYTHING AND SEND THEM TO YOU IN YOUR INBOX IF THATS ALRIGHT.

BOYEE---THAT LOOKS GREAT. KEEP UP THE GOODS WORK. I GUESS IT WOULD HELP IF I COULD FIBERGLASS. I CAN BUILD ANYTHING WITH WOOD BOX WISE BUT A FIBERGLASSER IM NOT. HOW DO THE 10'S SOUND ? I HAD 3 PUNCH 10'S IN THERE AND DIDNT LIKE IT. BUT I HAVE ALWAYS HAD 12'S, 15'S OR 18'S IN MY OTHER VEHICLES AND HATED THE TENS.

 

The 10's sound good, with 2 alpine pdx 1.1000 running them almost anything would sound good, they hit REAL hard, but my box it way under air spaced, I don't even have 2 cubic foot in the whole box!!!
