Sound system upgrade recommendations?

[jacksonz]

I’m looking at upgrading my stock sound system. I’m unsure on what to get and curious what others have and recommend. I’d like to be able to hear my music with the freedom panels off and windows open. What do you guys recommend?

Infinity reference 3032 in dash and sound bar. ($60 per pair on sale on Amazon right now).
Kicker 4” 43DSC44 in sound bar. $50
Alpine powered sub PWE - S8 mounted behind rear seats. $240

About $400 all in. Sounds great. Didn’t see the need for an amp as the upgraded speakers were enough for me on the stock radio.

Were the Infinity reference 3032 plug and play or did you have to splice?

I have the JL Audio stealthbox with two 10" subs for the Gladiator paired to JL Audio's 1000w sub to drive them and the 2 sets of 6.5" Focal Speakers with the Alpine X409 headunit.

Im curious as well. How about the 4in speakers? Any wiring or plug and play? Thanks!

Plug and play if using adapters. Crutchfield will include free ones but their price is $30 more than Amazon per pair. I used these. $11 for a pack of four.

The 4" speakers required a different harness than the Infinity which I couldn't get quickly so I just ended up splicing those.

Pay particular attention to the polarity of the harnesses. The Metras I got from Crutchfield had them swapped (black went to the factory white and vice versa). It's easy enough to fix with a pick, release the pins and flip them.

I'd wait to see what OEM Audio Plus comes up with for the JTs.

They've got some excellent reviews on the Tacomas.

Does the stock 7 inch stereo come with RCA pre outs to hook up an amp? Curious, i'd like to hook up a powered subwoofer and change my speakers.... Thanks
