Upgrade audio system for 17 Tundra

Hey guys,
Anyone use this package from tech22volts.

https://www.shop.tech12volts.com/product.sc?productId=529&categoryId=124

If so what is your opinion. Seems like the price point for what you get is too good to be true. Let me know. I'm looking for a complete upgrade other then the HU. This seems to fit the bill.

 

Anyone?

 

Looks like a deal!

Check out my profile, mine was $900 installed by BestBuy but I used Alpine and Pioneer with Kicker wires / fuse system under the hood. If mine was $900 your retail price is right there.

Give them a call to see if it’s legit?

 

I cant say anything about that specific jbl setup, but i can vouch for James at tech12volts. He answered about 30 of my questions and i ended up buying everything except the stealthbox from him.

For that price, you cant go wrong. I say go for it, and give us a good review!

 

Guess I'll call him and see what he says. Thanks guys. Any other input is welcome as well.

 

Like @Danimal86, I bought most of my stereo from James at Tech12volts. He answered dozens of questions and responded quickly even at 11pm on a Saturday. I do not have the kit you referenced, but it will be a solid upgrade. Note: those are true JBL brand speakers and amp, not the crappy JBL labeled paper speakers that came in my Tundra

 

Did someone say deal?

 

I can't comment on the package that you selected but will definitely vouch for James. I upgraded my head unit through him and had a custom built box. When the head unit acted up and was requested by Kenwood to be sent back, James came to my house to swap it out. Awesome guys!!!

 

Group buy ?

 

I saw James posted this a few hours ago, if you wanted a dual sub setup.

 

Let me know if you end up getting it ans how it sounds,i still want to upgrade my sound system

 

Shiiiiiiit. Thats a helluva deal. That amp is like $550 by itself on crutchfield.

 

Is that just for crew max?

 

Shouldn't be, but check with James.

 

I just finished Phase 1 of an audio upgrade to mine. New HU, front components, rear coaxials. Custom box w 2 10s - 5 channel Kenwood Excelon amp. Sounds 1000x better than stock.

 

How much are you into it so far?is a HU upgrade a must do?

 

I hated the factory HU and hate Entune. I went with the new Pioneer w/ Wireless CarPlay. I am prob $3500 into it at this point incl labor.

 

I was dead set on the Alpine ILX-107 w/ Wireless CP, but then my shop showed me the new Pioneer with more features and same price point.

 

I still have cd's lol so ill stick with that for tunes.just curious of a HU makes enough for the cost.

 

3500 into phase 1....can't think what phase 2 will be lol

 

Are you more interested in a double din touch screen or a single din?

Pioneers deh 80pr single din is damn near a digital sound processor.
Tweeter, mids, sub crossovers, and a bandpass crossover for mids.
Time alignment.
30 band eq for left and right channels independently.
And a few other nice features.
Can be had for under $300. Probably $275 if you shop around.

They also have a couple others ranging from $100 to i think about $200 single dins that have very similar audio features.

Their double din touch screen models get kinda confusing. They have a bunch but the different features offered vary all over the place.

I still perfer the single din units. The audio options on just their $110 units are pretty damn amazing.

 

I went with the HU upgrade to a

$599 Pioneer AVH-W4400NEX In Dash Multimedia Receiver with 7" WVGA Clear Resistive Touchscreen Display

Pioneer AVH-W4400NEX and, at $699, it has made a huge difference. Also plays CDs, unlike the ILX-107. Wireless CarPlay is very nice. Currently $549 at Crutchfield - a steal.

 

Quick search turns up $380 delivered.

Yes, Phase 2 may be quite provocative I am wagering...

 

Did you only upgrade the HU? If so, does it put our worthwhile sound? Thinking of doing this exact setup, but am on the fence with upgrading speakers right away cause $$$.

 

I have upgraded many things in this truck so far. Audio-wise, as I mentioned before I went with the

$599 AVH-W4400NEX In Dash Multimedia Receiver with 7" WVGA Clear Resistive Touchscreen Display

AVH-W4400NEX, however I have now discovered that it is one of the only Pioneer units that unable to be bypassed to allow all functions (such as DVD play) during motion. This is caused by the fact that the “safeguards” are tied to the internal GPS. When we tried unplugging that and hoping it would just rely upon the phone GPS thru CarPlay, neither the phone or the headunit navigation worked at all. So, I am swapping in the flagship 8400 which I believe can be successfully bypassed. Also, went with a Kenwood 5ch amp, Infinity Kappa series components in front doors/dash (removed unnecessary center speaker), Infinity Kappa in rear doors and a custom built box behind rear seat with 2 shallow mount 10in Heitz subs. The subs took some trial and error but this set up sounds best. Also, installed Compustar Alarm/Remote Start and Dronemobile. Believe it or not, these dont even come with automatic headlights that come on at dusk, so had aftermarket installed. Also, had supplemental bed LED lights installed. Have had other smaller improvements made, but those are the major ones.

 

I bought the 8400 and will be installing soon. Have you done the swap yet or figured out if it can be bypassed?

 

Yep. And the override/bypass works perfectly!

 

@james@tech12volts is legit and good people. I have that jbl 10 sub in my truck. Actually just got it hooked up to an aftermarket amp (kenwood HU) yesterday and I’m amazed at how good it sounds. Really glad I put a remote bass knob on my small amp or I would have to turn everything off with kids in truck. I have door speakers from him on the way

 

What amp and subs did you get?
