New amp fixed crappy JBL system

Agreed

 

My step son works at the place. Its called Elitecar Audio on 41st in Tulsa oklahoma

 

Thats why I got it so cheap but the Amp itself is only $100

 

I'll take some pics tomorrow and load them so everyone can see how its hooked up

 

You certainly got people’s attention. You left out the part about your Tundra being black, which gives it special abilities the other ones don’t have.

The true answer is BLACK MAGIC.

 

Thats what I've been saying. Thank you for backing me

 

Just trying to help. But after some of these comments I probably won't do it again. Yes its my first time on here its the only place I found to give the info to. But won't make that mistake again.

 

I feel like I'm begging for more info...probably because I am! No pressure but photos would be amazing. An audio breakthrough would be sweet!!

 

Someone get Pudge a paper bag.

 

Grimm....people here aren’t as dickish as it seems to you. Your topic is something these guys have been battling for years. If you found a way around it, at a great price, then you’re a big hero here. Guys are just getting fired up about it. Please don’t write us off.

The black magic comment is because of a color rivalry around here. Mine is black, so I was just cracking a joke that ours is better.

Oh yeah, black trucks owners are in charge around here.

 

I'm more than satisfied with the sound of my platinum now with just the HU change out.

 

Thats what I had installed. Its a candence

 

The reason why you’re getting some push back is because you can not bypass the factory amp on jbl. If you could taco tunes would just use a harness to take the amp out of the equasion and go into your new amp. They don’t because I’m pretty sure the jbl head unit sends a digital signal to amp. Your aftermarket amplifier would not know what to do with the single. That is why all “keep my head unit” installs keep the factory amp and then usually have a signal processor after it to flatten the signal and then it goes to the factory amp. You can skip the signal processor depending on what your idea of sounds good is, but I can almost guarantee you will have a loud hiss since even with a processor they have a hard time removing all the hiss.

Most likely you have a high level input going from the factory amp directly into the aftermarket amp. Non jbl you can pull a signal direct from the head unit but not jbl from everything I have read.

 

I'm not an audio tech kinda guy. I just relayed what info I was given

 

I agree I think we just need some help in talking it through. My remedial brain is just not conceptualizing it still ugh.

 

Grimm,

Yea don't take offense. I still have my 12 Platinum and the stock sound system rocks. I bought my 17 in May and was disappointed in a few things. 1. the stereo volume and 2. No Oh Shit handle for the driver. #2 had an easy solution. I read every night for a solution to #1. It sounds like you have found it. That's why we are all jacked up for info and specifics. You will see once something on the truck is bothering you and others and there is a breakthrough. It's like Xmas morning.

 

BTW 1794 editions rock.

 

Thank you for that. It really was a simple fix. I got the Amp cheap and install cheap cause my step son works there

 

thats the palce

 

Please do and fill it with info on the facts about this install, because I'd love to know how to fix my crappy JBL for $100, or even $500. If he figured out a way that no one else has been able to...more power to him. Just would love to know how.

 

The $100 price tag is because my step son works there.

 

I will do that and I will post it

 

That's awesome. I just wonder what they did or how it's all hooked up. Especially in only an hour. Whatever the process is, it sounds very promising for us JBL guys who have not been able to find an affordable solution. This is why I am so skeptical. For years the JBL has been an expensive and extensive conversion to make it sound even half way decent.

 

I will vouch that most everyone on this site is really cool and very helpful. Also, some really smart people on here.
With that being said giving and taking a little shit makes it even better.
Don’t take offense to anyone on here. Thanks for sharing info and keep it coming.

I spend WAY to much time on this site since joining...

 

Let us know after you call them!

 

After perusing this thread..I'm like WTF? The Cadence 1200 is on sale on Amazon for.............

Cadence Acoustics Chicago 1200 Watts PEAK Class AB 4-Channel Amplifier

https://www.amazon.com/Cadence-Acoustics-Chicago-4-Channel-Amplifier/dp/B004OVEH3M

 

It's already in my cart, pending what we find out tomorrow. I have a feeling sales will go up exponentially for that Amazon seller if this can be taken at face value.

 

Again my step son works at the place. Hense the deal
