[QUOTE="yotamutt, post: 5785378, member: 609008"] Hello all, I’ve been researching car audio for a little while but I would really appreciate some advice for the set up in my 2004 Tacoma. The fronts are 5x7 components. The rears are 5x7 w/o separate tweeters. I’m fairly sure I want to go with the four components listed below. Any opinions on this set up are much appreciated too.
