Tweeter Upgrade

Hi everyone,

I currently have the non JBL speakers - has anyone upgraded their oem tweeters located in the dash? I'm looking to switch mine out for something that is plug in play. Any suggestions that anyone has upgraded to is appreciated!

Not sure how involved this swap may be.

I'll probably just wait for this release -thanks!

 

Definitely looking for a plug and play option but thanks for bringing this up!

 

Thanks for info, all. Better sound has been on my radar for a bit, top of the list now. Scheduled next available date with local installer, mid-July. Kenwood's and a small Kicker hideaway. Unless I change my mind for Alpine's. We'll see ...

 

I’m probably going to put my 3 way focal in that I had in my 2016 tundra, they sound awesome

we’ll see, I also have my 10” JL and two JL amps

 

Are you planning on getting a custom box?

 

Leaning compact hideaway. All in one ten inch sub w 180 amp under passenger seat (to save backseat storage). Compatible w 3rd gen per Crutchfield and local installer.

Hideaway HS10 Powered Subwoofer | KICKER®
Kicker 46HS10 Hideaway Series 10" compact powered subwoofer with 180-watt amp at Crutchfield

 

Definitely something I'll be considering now - thanks!

 

Awesome! Keep us updated on how it goes

 

Getting close. Scheduled to leave truck with installer next week (11th). Swap speakers and add compact hideway sub. Should sound pretty good I think, know more end of next week ...

 

What speakers are you going with?

 

Going with Excelon KFC-XP184C component speakers in rear doors, mid-bass with separate silk tweeters. Excelon

$279 KFC-XP6902C Car Component System Select Chevrolet/Toyota

KFC-XP6902C in front doors and dash, mids and two ways respectively. And Kicker RMS HS10 compact hideaway subwoofer w built-in amp under the passenger seat. This is assuming everything fits.

 

Looking forward to seeing your setup

 

thanks! Picked up truck last night from the installer, everything turned out well ..

Looks great! I bet sounds way better lol - I saw you paid $400 for labor. What was your total cost including amp and speakers if you don't mind me asking.

 

Thank you! Excellent sound, nice upgrade. Pd 1150 p/tax, just over 1200 out the door, installation included.

 

Not too bad! Enjoy!

 

It's been a few months - I haven't pulled the trigger on a similar setup I am thinking about. Wanted to know what your thoughts are on your setup and if you have any regrets - thanks!!

 

Very happy with the setup and for me a nice improvement that rewards each and every drive. Bass deep from the powered sub; bass rich from the mid-woof door speakers; tweet from the rear upper doors clean and high; and the 2-ways in the dash are nice. Planning to add a silk tweeter to the middle dash location since that ninth speaker remains factory at this time and i want to swap that one out too. May or may not add a four-channel amp between the factory headunit and the Kenwood Door/Dash speakers in the future but that is more of a want than need for me at this time.

 

Not 100% plug and play but I replaced all door speakers and dash speakers with a component system with an amp and kicker sub in the rear storage area for around 500. Bought premade harnesses for speaker connections and headunit. Pretty simple, really the only thing not plug and play was the power for amp and sub but even that was pretty simple. I did already have the kicker sub though so that's not factored into the cost.

 

Glad to know your setup is sounding nice! I thought you had also upgraded the middle tweeter initially - you probably can't even notice the stock output from it lol.

 

That's not bad! What tweeters did you use for your setup?

 

I went with some alpine s2-s65c in front and rear along with an alpine amp to power them. Sounds good and plenty loud for me.

 

I haven't fully decided on which route I want to go with my setup but it's nice to see what everyone else is using and their experiences.
