    I want to help out my the JBL system on my 2020 Platinum. Has factory CarPlay, so don't want to replace the HU. Have been down the audiophile rabbit file numerous times on other vehicles, so just looking for better overall quality, especially the low-mids and overall level.

    My first step is likely going to be the BEAT-SONIC ENA-2T3.

    Any suggestions for a subwoofer that will integrate/balance well with the factory system. The Taco Tunes look great, but really are overkill for my needs.

    The best bang for the buck JBL system upgrade is the Tech 12 Volts upgrade. Check out all of the reviews. James specializes in Tundra audio systems. Customer service is excellent.

    I'll Second this recommendation. Randy has a few options depending on what your end goal is. I added the DSP amp and single 10 and am very satisfied with the results. The amp will come prewired for factory connections and tuned for the Tundra so install is very easy.
