Just installed a Beat Sonic amp in my 24’ SR5 w/ factory stereo.
WOW! Huge difference for a five minute install.
$300 really elevates the system and sounds loads better than my 21’ TRD w/JBL system.
Can’t wait to get my new dash and door speakers in. Highly recommended mod.

Wow glad you like it. You are probably the first to give it such rave reviews. Everyone else has stated it is slightly better and to temper your expectations when buying and installing it.

I wonder if they are adding it to a JBL system. I realize there’s no replacement for a good solid amplifier, but this does give me a little more headroom for volume as I can’t really take the volume over 50. Once I replace the speakers and do some sound deadening on the doors and floor pan, I think I’ll be really happy.

Glad to see a positive review and the price is right on the Beat Sonic amp. Have you figured out yet what speakers you will use? I also plan to add sound dampening mats, which has worked well for me in the past.

That’s awesome. Glad to hear it. I really debated buying the beat sonic amp myself, but felt the price was a bit high so opted to do it on my own. I have the base audio system.

I installed the least expensive, well-rated compact amp I could find (Sony XMS400D). I’d say for the reviews Ive seen on the beat sonic, the Sony has a pretty similar impact on audio performance after install. I bought the speaker output harness from taco tunes so was able to install without cutting any factory wires. Saved me maybe $130 bucks and took some extra time to solder in to the amp harness. In retrospect, I really could could’ve gone with either option and been satisfied.

So your system is the basic ,not the JBL, think the JBL speakers would be better and not needed to change.

OEM standard factory speakers are 4ohm. I can’t speak to the JBL, but the speakers I removed are 4ohm.

The 3t3 is only for non JBL systems. I don't see how these amps can actually make a difference. They are line drivers. Meaning the only thing they do is increase power sent to the JBL. This would have the same effect as just turning the volume up.

Interesting, I'll have to ask them about that, they know what car I have, and I'm local. Will chime in.
