Stereo specs on JBL sound system?

[Clockchoke]

I'm wondering if it's the same as the 23 and a 2 ohm system. I'm not looking forward to tearing apart my brand new truck to replace the "premium" stereo. The stereo in my 23 sucked.

I'm curious myself, as a "premium" stereo system that sucks is not what I'm looking for! I've seen a couple of youtube videos and the posters thought that the stereo was good, but I haven't seen anyone raving about it.

Front: 3 way component system including a 5 ohm 7” x 8” (weird I know) speaker in the front doors, tweeter in the A-pillar, and 2.5” speakers in the dash

Rear: not completely sure yet but should be a normal 2 way 5.5” coaxial speaker

Subwoofer: tiny ~8” subwoofer behind the rear driver seat that vents to the exterior of the vehicle with no actual enclosure for the sub.

It honestly doesn’t sound terrible if you’re not an audio nut. But if you are you’ll quickly notice the subwoofer provides no audible bass to the front seat and any bass you hear in the front comes from the 7” x 8”s in the doors which also doesn’t help with rattling of door panels. System is mostly pretty quiet and you’ll find yourself cranking the audio all the way up if you’re used to listening to music pretty loudly.
overall recommend not getting premium audio (unless you want the removable portable speaker) and just using that extra money for an aftermarket audio system.

I can't get you specs but I'm going to be honest, for an off the lot system, it's pretty dope. I've heard some people talk about depending on what source you're using it sounds like crap, but I also noticed every source has a different setup. So you can max your bass out on Bluetooth, but if you switch to Sirius you have to go into settings and set your bass there too, found that odd.

The bass is more than enough to shake all your mirrors, and the audio it's self is very crisp.

My only complaint is it doesn't go all that loud. In my Camry my songs were blaring on LVL 30. In the Tacoma I can have it at max and still want more.

I see no reason for myself to personally upgrade the speakers, it does the job for me very well and I'm very happy with it, if I was back in highschool I'd probably want to swap that sub for a 12" but I don't need people to hear me come from 5 blocks down lol

What are the sub options for those that didn’t get the jbl junk upgrade? Install some kind of Rockville RW10CA?

The only problem with not getting the premium audio is that it's packaged with all the other upgrades on the OR that I really want!

As of right now there’s no aftermarket subwoofers fitted for the 4g that I’ve seen. The Rockville RW10CA might be small enough but the space behind the rear seats is less than the previous generation so it pretty much leaves you room to only do a system under the seats. Best option I’ve seen is to cutout the plastic storage under the rear driver side seat and have a downward firing low profile subwoofer enclosure built to go there.

As the 4g has been out for a while companies will start building taco specific enclosures since it’s such a popular vehicle but it’ll take some time just like all the other aftermarket accessories.

I fit a jbl 10 inch powered sub behind my 2023 backseat. Space looks similar in the 24. Removed plastics and put soundproofing.

Anyone know how to get to the tweeter in the JBL premium setup. Looks like you might be able to pop off the JBL grill on the pillar, but afraid to go too hard.
I don’t feel like removing the pillar cover but may be the only way to get at it.

Thx

This right here. No specs for the OP but the JBL "upgrade" is pretty much junk. It is basic audio quality you would get from any mid range car. If you could opt out of this by itself it would be worth it as whatever the additional cost is it is not worth it. Stock basic audio in other brand car we have owned have sounded the same if not better.

You remove the whole pillar cover. Not bad at all.

I replaced the front tweets, mids and door speakers with 2 ohm speakers. Pretty sure they were something odd like 2.3 ohms or something, but made a pretty decent difference to me. I also added amazon sound deadening to the doors, a down and dirty quick job but it made it nice.
I would be interested as the person above to know if anyone has found a plug and play sub that fits in the stock area. I don't care enough to do much more than that, but getting a little more would be worth it for me.

**If you replace your oem speakers, use a multi meter to figure out which lead is + or -. The aftermarket adapter plugs were backwards. I initially accidently wired the door speakers backwards, (reversed the polarity) and shit got weird. The active noise cancelling was doing weird stuff. I finally figured it out and have been happy ever since.**
