JBL Synthesis Audio System (Toyota Avalon 2011+)

[Hulk77777]

The Toyota Avalon 2011+ Limited models come with a JBL Synthesis system which includes 12 speakers, a 12 channel amp with 660 watts, including a 110 watt 8" subwoofer. My question is how good is this system? I'm including a link with some information but just wanted to know how this system compares to an aftermarket system. I am really interested in this vehicle as my next car purchase and I don't think I would feel comfortable taking it apart and installing a custom audio system in it. Has anyone heard this system?

My mom has it in her 4runner. It sounds much cleaner then factory speakers and gets a bit of bass. But no huge differences. Ude be better off doing the upgrades yourself

Ok, so that's good information. I could buy the non limited version of the car and save a huge amount of money. But did you click on the link? OR rather type it in? It's got frigging 12 speakers plus a subwoofer + an amp and a weird head unit. If I do go and upgrade all of that myself what would be the best setup? Should I just upgrade the 2 front speakers and 2 front tweeters or the back rear speakers and tweeters as well. Finally, I think the 8" sub is free floating, whats a good replacement? I supposed I could do all of this but it seems really complicated. I guess the only way to find out is to go and test drive one myself and see how it compares. I was hoping people would give me their opinions on it or rate it on a scale of 1-10.

There all lower model speakers that are underpowered. Trust me its not worth what there charging. Save your money and get a good set of components up front and some coaxials in the back. As for the sub that ones JUNK, u could get an audiopipe 8 for 30 or 40 bucks off ebay. Cheap box off sonic would keep up with it.

I would suggest a SSA DCON 10 for 150 off SSA.com, Get a box built and mount high and low amps beside it. Half the price, double the SQL

How much extra is the JBL system? On a scale, stock systems a 4- JBL system is maybe a 6. Do get any impressive sounds ude have to replace the speakers. Regardless of stock or JBL upgrade
