    Hello everyone. New to the tundra scene. I have recently purchased a 2019 SR5 non JBL package but do have a stock amp. I just replaced the front door speakers with Rockford fosgate 3 way 6x9 speakers and replaced the rear doors with Rockford fosgate 6.5 speakers. I also added the inline beat sonic amp and changed out the head unit with the phoenix 13" Tesla style radio. With everything in the rear door speakers sound great and obviously the front dash is loud. My big gripe is with the front door speakers. Even replaced these are super quiet. They are 4ohm speakers but the beat sonic amp did say it was a 4ohm amp. I'm just confused considering the rears sound amazing

    Welcome to the forum.

    With an aftermarket HU you need to pull and bypass the OEM amp.
    You should have replaced the stock amp with the Beat Sonic amp.
    The stock amp sends mids and lows to the front door 6 x 9s and uses the dash speakers as mids and tweeters.
    As well the dash speakers run straight off the HU, they don't go thru the underseat amp.
    You may not be getting full sound out of the front door speakers.

    I had the same issue with Phoenix(zwnav) and several other Chi headunits with my 2nd gen. Did you by chance use the canbus harness with the Phoenix headunit? If so, try using the regular harness. For second gens, dont know about 2.5s, all the chiniseum headunits have a regular and canbus/jbl harness. Unfortunately what appears to be the standard fix for dealing with the cursed JBL wiring is they remove the two channels feeding the front door speakers from the main headunit connector. Since you already seemed to have bypassed the oem crap, you should be able to use the regular harness or you can manually add in the pins/wiring on the canbus/jbl one. Hope that helps.
