    has anyone notice the JBL system is very anemic compared to say the Tacoma or 4runner JBL system?

    when we had the 2016 Tacoma with JBL the bass was a lot better sounding and more robust, same goes for my 2014 4Runner. when I cranked the bass setting to full on the tundra it had the same output intensity as when I had the Tacoma & 4Runner set at default.

    the wife is very pissed the JBL system is crap compared to her 2yr old Tacoma version.

    JBL system sucks as well on mine. Very disappointing. My wife’s 2007 Camry with a regular oem stereo non-jbl sounds way better even with more bass and it doesn’t even have a sub.

    I am 2 months into my new tundra with the JBL set up and not pleased. Max volume is about 1/2 on othe vehicles. Bummed. I like to listen to music loudly.

    I noticed the sound in my 2019 being bad. I figured it qas because this time I didnt get the JBL. My 2016 Tundra had JBL and I loved it.

    I need to go check out a few others at the dealer to see if this is “how they are” or if I have a bad set up. Curious if anyone else had the issues as well.
