Taco JBL VOLUME

Anyone have an idea why my 2016 Limited s volume is much lower than the 2014 I traded. They both have the same JBL system. thanks

 

Sure your phone is turned all the way up? I’ve done that myself

 

This

 

yes its not the phone volume

 

On my ex’s focus, i did an update to her audio control module and it noticeably made the aux input volume quieter ‍♂️
Could just he a software change to reduce the chance of it blowing a speaker or some such

 

What's her name?

 

Satan?

 

I think every few years Toyota keeps neutering the JBL system. My 2009 Taco would BOP, my 2014 still sounds good but it does not have nearly as much power as the 2009 truck did. I heard a lot of people were extremely disappointed with the 2016+ jbl system compared to earlier taco years.

You could try updating the radio but I cannot say for sure if it will help you. I know OEM Audio Plus finally has a plug/play system for the 16+ jbl system. It's going to cost you some good coin, but it may be one of your only options to get good powerful sound and retain the factory head unit. EDIT: NVM, I guess they are still developing this system for the JBL radios..

 

how can i check to see if update would get me where i wanted to be?

 

Satan got a number?

 

This ain’t a dating website bud, and AZ is pretty far from AK.

 

Thanks I am wondering if they put a smaller amp in the 2016 to prevent damage to speakers . thanks again

 

it's probably a similar sized amp, but the louder you turn the volume up, the flatter everything starts to sound. If you look at the speakers they are pretty pathetic. But they do sound pretty good for what they are. My 2009 I could rock out at like 28 volume, on my truck now I have to have it at like 38, and any higher than that it starts killing the bass so it's pretty flat sounding. I am working on sound deadening right now so I will see how much an improvement that has.

 

what year do u have now?

 

2014.
I have also thought about finding a 2005-2008 jbl amp, and see if it's plug/play. Maybe it will help.

 

are the JBL speakers in my limited pathetic or just the reg sound system speakers?

 

They are a slight upgrade from the reg sound system is my guess, just like the JBL from all other model years.

 

Loves knows no bounds.

 

my 2014 limited wth the JBL sounded real nice and didnt have to turn volume past midway to get good vibes

 

Interesting. I really wonder if mine is fcked up, because like I said my 2009 was leaps ahead of my 2014.
