So about a year ago I installed a small system in my 4Runner and thought I would be happy with it. Unfortunately that isn't the case. I plan on taking everything out except for the head unit and starting over. I have already sound deadened the five doors. Once it warms up I plan on sound deadening the floor and other side panels. The final step will be the roof.
I plan on attending some competitions this year. I'm not using top of the line equipment but I think it will sound pretty good. Depending on how much I get into competing will determine where the build goes next.
Here is the vehicle, a 2012 Toyota 4Runner with a small lift and some aftermarket wheels and tires.
The current system consists of the following:
Kenwood DDX372BT head unit with a Pioneer ND-BC6 camera
AudioControl EQL equalizer
MB Quart RA1000.4 amp
RE Audio SEX12v2 sub in a prebuilt ported enclosure
Alpine SPR-60C 6 1/2 components
The new system is going to consist of:
Kenwood DDX372BT head unit with Pioneer camera
JBL MS-8 DSP
Precision Power P1000.1 amp
Precision Power P600.2 amp
Precision Power P900.4 amp
Precision Power P65c3 component set
Sundown SA18 sub in a CSCStang custom enclosure edit - Switching to three JL Audio 12W3's in a sealed enclosure.
Wiring is going to be a mix of Sky High and Soundqubed.
edit - I've decided to run rear fill so I placed an order for a pair of PPI P.652 6-1/2" coax's for the rear doors. I will power them off of the JBL MS-8's internal amp.
