    Shallow mount? I want to just add subs on stock setup. Did you chronicle the sub install? More pics?

    Sorry man that’s the only pic I have of the install. They are shallows but it was very easy if you have knowledge if wiring.

    I bought the Kicker tweeter upgrade. I couldn't really tell much difference. So I bought Kicker speakers to replace all door speakers $130.00 from Crutchfield. Wow what a difference. I definitely recommend it. Total $230.00 and it sounds awesome.

    Fronts are Focal 6 1/2 Performance series 30th Anniversary components and rear are 6 1/2 Focal Integral series Coaxials. Super Clarity when paired with Quality Amp.

    Wondering what amp you used and what are your thoughts on the subs, are they required or just a bonus

    I'm using a jl audio 5 channel amp that runs my entire setup, the subs are just preference,it sounds amazing.

    Thanks Mytacoma03 for the info, very helpful.
    I am waiting for my 2020 to arrive in the next week to finalize my equipment list as I am not sure if the power driver seat has any space below it when in the lowest position for an amp.

    Your system is basically what I am looking at as I am a focal fan and have another couple questions if you don't mind:

    Are your subs powered ? I am thinking they are not because you are running a 5 channel amp.

    Any issues installing the component tweeters ?

    I am looking at a single compact powered sub , like the jl unit and a 4 channel amp , focal or jl, otherwise identical to your setup. Thoughts

    4 of the channels are running all 4 of my door speakers including the tweeters and the 5th channel is running my sub. I actually traded in my tacoma for a 2020 4runner, I put same system from my tacoma to my 4runner lol. Tweeters go in OEM location. In other words if you are wanting a similar system I would recommend you get a 5 channel amp.

    Fyi my Amp fit under the seat of my tacoma, under seat of 4runner now. I'm assuming your 2020 space will be the same?
