The guys at Five Star have done it again!

They've made a handful of Tacoma videos, but this is a great video for people wanting to add new speakers, a full-size amp, and an LC7i to retain the factory radio. They do these longer videos in multiple parts so they should be released over the next few days

Part 1


Part 2

 

Their installs are nicely done, love their YouTube channel. I like that many of their installs aren't the big dollar systems but just a well put together everyday set-up.

 

Yeah they keep a good balance. Been doing a lot of high-end jobs lately but they still throw in the generic subwoofer install or some basic speakers. This particular video series should be super helpful for members here. Speakers, amp, sub, retain factory radio.

 

These guys are top notch! Some of the most quality installs around. Definitely have made me up my game when doing my own installs.

My only complaint is that they often seem to cut the factory speaker wires and don't do adapters unless the customer provides them or they use plug and play style speakers.

 

I personally always cut factory connectors as well. I have seen dozens of failures in various brands of speaker harness adapters. I solder every speaker just like they do.
And just as they do, I leave about 2” of wire on the connector side so it can always be reattached if needed. But the amount of clients that had me toss their old speakers in the recycle bin (even after I recommend they keep them) was astounding. And without the factory speaker, there’s not much use for the factory connector.

personal taste I guess.

 

Sweeet! Yeah I’ve been watching a lot of these guys videos too and learn a lot! I wonder what members truck this is... surely they’re tacomaworld crew!
