    $1600
    New tweeters
    New front speakers
    New rear speakers
    Sealed 8" sub that goes in the cubby behind the rear seats
    Single 360W amp that powers everything - 100 goes to the sub. Installs underneath driver's seat.
    Entire system tuned specifically for 3rd gen double cab Tacoma's
    Plug and play wiring included and step by step installation instructions in a youtube video

    Does require drilling a 1" hole into the side of the plastic cubby that the sub sits in. That's literally the only thing that cannot be reversed with this system but the hole is not visible with the sub installed. Plus replacing that cubby piece entirely probably would not be very expensive.

    As a whole the system looks OEM. Without turning it on there would be no way to tell it apart from OEM unless you put down the rear seats or looked under the driver's seat. All OEM controls (steering wheel, headunit, etc) are retained 100%. Sounds leagues better than stock. If you've ever been in a "high-end" luxury car that has the upgraded system this sounds similar if not better than some. It's very balanced and will never over-drive itself. Has loads of bass for the average listener but it's not on par with say a pair of ported 12s in a big box hooked into a 500W amp. If all you want is bass maybe go with something else but make no mistake this kit brings bass to the table.

    I agree, the stock radio sounds like it is missing half of the audible frequency canceled out by it's own distortion. Most people don't hear or notice or maybe don't care in the difference between quality audio versus whatever makes noise so they think it's all the same.

    The JBL isn't that great either. I'll be swapping it all out.
