I have done a full system and lots of trial and error until getting to my current set up. I recommend replacing the HU with aftermarket and from there it’s just selecting the equipment that suits your needs/budget. If you have specific questions would be happy to help.

 

Infinity Kappa 6.5" xovers in front, Taco Tunes 5 channel amp, and a 10" Rockford shallow sub behind rear seat. Huge improvement over stock. No distortion at least that my old ears can hear. I just used the OEM amp mount. No need to spend extea $s on the TT one. Sound is night and day. I did not replace rear speakers because i never have passengers. I will add that i bought Infinitys on sale from Crutchfield they came PNP with all adapters mounting and wiring. I see no reason to replace HU at this point. I highly recommend the Xovers in the sails.

 

I haven’t replaced the head unit yet, but I did replace all the door speakers and added a 5 channel amp and a 12” sub. My wife wasn’t too keen on the idea of immediately putting more money into my new truck, so I agreed to a $1000 budget. It took some researching but I managed to do the amp, speakers, and sub for just under $500 (installed myself).

I’m really happy with the setup and am now looking at the Tesla style tablets that are currently on sale for about $500.

But here is my setup....also installed the Maestro along with the T02 harness to retain steering wheel controls and camera.

 

I am also in the market for one. I almost pulled the trigger on ********* but came across some horrible reviews from recent. Everywhere I checked I kept coming across James at tech12volts.com. They have some option there from what I can tell are great deals. Im waiting on a reply from them now and will most likely be pulling the trigger on the
TUNDRA KENWOOD HERTZ COMPLETE AUDIO PACKAGE
https://shop.tech12volts.com/product.sc?productId=583&categoryId=124

 

Go with James at Tech12Volts. I just installed his JBL system and it is amazing. I paid $940 which included JBL 4505 marine amp, hertz components in all 4 doors. 12" JBL sub with box, sail panels and all the supplies to install the unit. It took me a full day to install it but it wasn't bad. The good thing about the hertz components is no crossover to run and with his adapters the only wires I had to cut were the speaker wire adapters to tie in the tweeters.

 

I just finished placing the order. Now to wait

 

Just finished mine from tech12volts nothing wrong with the factory HU his package is fantastic for the price and easy to install you don't even have to get to the HU

 

Why buy sail panels when you can EASILY cut the ones you have with a hole saw?

 

Because it gives a factory look and if I upgrade my truck I can take the radio with me along with the sail panels.

 

The package I went with comes with them. I also agree with FUBAR clean factroy look is always a plus!

 

Mine are clean. The flange on the tweeter covers up

 

I would probably destroy mine and have to get new ones either way hahaha

 

Naw, even a caveman could do it cleanly

 

mine came with the package, perfect factory fit

 

The factory ones are molded. No matter how well you made a hole the speaker grille would still not look as good imho

 

Go with James at tech12volts.

Below is a link to what I did, and it sounds GREAT.

...but I would have gotten everything through James if I did it over again.

Another recommendation for Tech12volts.....I installed the complete system from him last week. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I still have the factory HU.

 

Once you get a new headunit the skys the limit. I got a Kenwood Excelon a few years ago, and I m finally getting around to getting rest of components installed. I m trying to quiet down the truck with deadener, but im under no illusion. It s still going to be noisy considering I riding on MT s. I m running my own wiring, so I can go big watts, and not have to worry. So far I have an Audio Control DM 608 dsp, a 4 ch Rainbow Germanium amp, an 1800 watt 10" Cresendo sub. I may get another sub before it s over Still need a mono block/s, but making final preperations for installing. MT s be damned. I will hear good sound at 70mph

 

I'm wondering what kind of a box are you going to use on the 10" subwoofer?

 

I am leaving back seat out and building a wall against back of cab. The last foot of bottom of wall will rake out to about 30 degree. Sub\s will be there; bottom facing. It would be more symetrical. I ll have plenty of room. Amps and crossovers will be in lower middle of wall and 4 mids will be on upper part of wall. Then components in front doors and coaxials in rear doors. My dsp will output 8 channels so thats the plan. Seems like they always change though.

 

That's going to sound nice!

 

I went with a Phoenix android HU and and a single sub from James, makes a night and day difference. When my stock speakers start to blow I will be replacing from James and also check to see if he has a sub box for passenger side also.

 

I hooked up James system and left my stock speakers in for a week until I could get to the ones he shipped me. I blew the stocks in 5 days, causing my amp to go into safe mode LOL

 

Been sounding nice for about a year lol

 

Even better lol

 

It won't be to long B4 I get new speakers.
