What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Very cool, enjoy all that sunshine!

 

I've been put in that position and lost patience and bought another place. They still haven't bought a new place over a year later.

8' tall garage door? I like your setup with the racks on the cap. Do they line up well with your cab roof rack?

 

Humble opinion here (Audio is a relatively large part of my own life) but the best thing to do for that center channel is to simply remove it. It causes phase issues that are annoying at best. The side dash high frequency drivers are just as annoying, but they at least don't fight the imaging quite as badly as that center channel monstrosity does.

 

Yes your tundra definitely needs to fit in the garage I agree!! No leaving it outside. That’s the way to do it. Congrats.

 

Thank you! I'm not sure how tall the garage door is, I would guess at least 7ft for sure. I'm actually going to sell my cap racks soon as I have a matching rack for my cap but they actually do line up really well together as is.

 

Good to know. I want to upgrade the speakers in mine, I hate that I have to crank the volume all the way just to hear people while I'm on the phone.

 

Lots of people have done this, so maybe I'll give this a shot before replacing the speaker and see if that helps the volume during calls. Did you just pull the speaker out and tape off the exposed ends in the dash?

 

I haven't done this but I believe people just unplug the speaker and leave everything else as is.

 

Ordered tech 12v Sub and Amp... Hope it does what everyone says it does.... 8>)

 

Smart idea... I bought my house a few months before my Tundra..

 

Plenty of room...

 

Just had to....lol

 

Congrats man!! Jealous, that’s where I’d love to move. Wife is from there but her family moved out this way, so we’ll be here for a while. I still keep asking if she’s ready every couple of months..

 

Yeah man @RoniusMaximus looks like you could put another 2-3" lift on at least

 

Nice, where are you at right now? We've been talking about moving here for the past 15 years. We had a nice spot over in Clackamas where our house backed up to the Clackamas river and we were in such a perfect location. We have a 2 year old and 6 month old now and all their cousins are in tricities so we made a decision to move and we figured if we didnt push our selves now then it would probably never happen. Definitely excited as I've been in Portland my entire life (36 years) and it just ain't what it used to be anymore.

 

Abandon in place, or remove. Fielder's choice! Just disconnect the speaker and do as you wish.

For context, I did that initially. Then when I ordered my whole setup from JRT I just abandoned everything in the dash unhooked and in place. It really does cause nothing but problems from an audio perspective. Vehicles are already difficult audio beasts; firing at the windshield in-between stereo sources does nothing to help the imaging.

 

HIREV tail lights. These things look amazing.


Also bought the 3rd brake light from them, but realized I don’t want to go through the hassle of changing it out on a DC. If I had a CM, then maybe…. They charge a restocking fee, so I’ll probably be selling it on here for $65 shipped

 

I’ve never been a fan of the aftermarket tail light options but these are awesome.

 

Thanks. I tried a cheap Amazon set and 2 different Winjets, but they all hyperflashed on me. I had given up, because I absolutely was not going to pay $500 for tail lights. That’s until I stumbled on these in a thread on this forum somewhere. These are amazing and no hyperflash.

 

I've been wondering about this. This is my first vehicle with a centre speaker. I don't need 200 speakers in my truck. Instead give me four and a sub that are dialled in. I know car audio is tricky. Tiny area, super-reflective glass all around, then there's the part where you sitting to the front left on the cab. But anyways, I found your thread and will take it in later.

 

Yeah all I had done from tech12volts from James everything Arc audio. Dual subs and doors and sound deadening with

$299 Rockford DSR1 8-Channel Interactive Signal Processor w/Integrated iDatalink Maestro Module

Rockford DSR1 and 1100 watt amp kicking it. Had my installer do it.

 

I have the stock stereo, speakers, etc. I just want my stereo to be louder. What's the most simple mod I can do to achieve that? I prefer not to install new head. I'm just thinking maybe I can add an amp or two. Anyone know the best way to achieve just having it louder?

as it stands now, I can turn it up full power and it's still tolerable on the ears.

 

@long_duck_dink I want the same. reach out to James at tech12volts. I just ordered the amp and sub package. actually did it today

 

You'll be happy w/it!!!! Maybe not as happy as 5.29s w/lockers, but you'll be happy

 

I wasn’t going to do anything to my SR5 (non JBL) stereo. Then I read someone mention replacing the dash tweaters with pioneer excelons, “pop the cover, two bolts, plug and play, for 59 bucks and makes a big difference”. It certainly did, it also pointed out the shortcomings of the rest of the system. I couldn’t hear the rears at all, so, replaced those, made a slight difference. At this point I was given a ten year old alpine amp, just installed it, sounds great, so much more control, but, I’m now aware that it needs a sub-woofer. Oh well, it’ll give me something to do in the spring.

 

An early Christmas present from my gal

 

Dean, do you have a link? That's pretty cool.

 

Welcome to the area. Wish I could park inside. Sniff

 

Thanks! She made it custom at work. It's a one of a kind

If you're interested I can see how much they would cost.
