    Some day I would like to up grade, but for now I use a equalizer app and always stream my music Via Bluetooth. It helps some and I like it. Also I have a Access Cab so the interior space is less. There are many equalizer apps, but this one takes over my ITunes library and is 10.00. It was on sale when I purchased it for 5.99. If I really want to Rock out I grab my Bose mini link Bluetooth speaker that fits in your hand for 199.00. image.jpg

    Roof ones? I had a standard system I did not have roof ones, front doors with high mounted tweeter and rear door, I had them changed and had rear tweeters put in too. I wanted the front usb too but after thinking about it yeah anyone looks in sees the stick or the wires and decides to see what else is inside so I choose to hide it in the glove box.

    I rode mountain bikes until I was 45, weighed 170 on a 5'9" big frame. Injured my knee, stopped riding and put on 55 pounds. Now I hike and backpack but can't find time for the regular exercise needed to drop the weight. My kid graduates HS this semester and my stint as scoutmaster ends in September, so I figure I "might" be better off by fall...hehe.

    Yea some models have roof speakers. I wish I had a pic. It didn't weigh more than a piece of paper. Like you I don't have them. I can't remember the year or accessories.

    When I left the USAF in 2002, at age 41, I still had the same waist I had at age 15, 30 inches. And I still only weighed 158 lbs at 5'10". Sitting on my ass all day for the last 14 years and a change in metabolism has me at a 34 inch waist and 195 lbs. That's my winter weight though, I'll be down to 180 lbs in the summer. Would like to maintain 170 but that's a real bitch.

    Correct, my Access Cab comes with 6 speakers - two in each front door and two in the roof.

    Yea I can remember back in 1977 when I went from a 8 track car stereo to a pioneer super turner AM/FM Cassette, with a bulky under the dash equalizer, with kricket 6x9's speakers in the rear deck of my 70 Chevy. It was awesome!! And to think now how the technology has changed!! I'm glad we all can experience this at our age. This new stuff Blows my mind!! :rasta:

    LOL... think of how things have changed in our lifetime. I remember the primary way of listening to music going from a turntable to an 8-track tape player to cassette tapes, to compact discs to digital recordings stored on electronic media. I'm sure I missed one or two. And yeah, the difference in technology of the stereo systems is also incredible. Makes you wonder what the future holds.

    I agree! There's a guy selling a iPad conversion for the dash of 2nd gens. I have a '15 head unit with nav. In my '14 and I hope I can upgrade the map card to Apple car play in the future some day. Keep us posted with that rad system your fixing to get! :thumbsup:


    Edit: or just a complete update from Toyota for the head unit.

    Too bad I won't be able to share a sound file once the new system is installed. After all, the playback would only be as good as the system playing the recording. On our computers and phones it would sound like music coming from a computer or a phone. LOL

    I saw on TV that some artists are releasing cassettes and of course vinyl in making a comeback. What was old is new again I guess...

    I love not being the only old fart. :)

    I had a '66 beetle (among other VWs back then) which had a 6 volt electrical system. I put a 12 volt battery in the spare tire well just to run my FM stereo tuner. The battery would last weeks without needing a charge. These days... fuggedabodit! People put high output alternators in their cars just to drive the subs.

    I recently dusted off the vinyl, hooked up the turntable, and started listening to them all again while I exercise. It's nice to have a break every 20 minutes to turn the record over. :anonymous:
