Juan’s Toyota Tundra CrewMax SR5 Complete Stereo System Upgrade San Antonio TX

Installation Summary / History:

Customer Name: Juan P

Toyota Year / Model: 2015 Toyota Tundra CrewMax 4×4

Head Unit: Non JBL

Color: Midnight Blue

Installed by: tacotunes.com

Juan grew up installing his own audio systems. He came to us with high expectations. He wanted to hear our demo system before he pulled the trigger. After listening the SQ1 package, he opted to upgraded to the dual 12″ SEALED box. This is with the FULL size subwoofers, not shallow mounts. Juan listens to a lot of different music and wanted something that would play slip knot to old Metallica to today’s hip hop.

Below you will find a detailed listing of all the parts we used in the installation. We also included some pictures of the 12″ subwoofer next to 10″ subwoofer and a shallow mount 12″ subwoofer.

Typical Installation time is 1 day, however we matted the front, rear doors and the rear wall behind the subwoofer. If we are matting the truck we keep the truck for two days. One audio installation and matting jobs are possible, but require at least 14 hours with the truck.

Below is a detailed listing of the audio products installed in Tobin’s Tundra CrewMax

Specs on the audio installation:

The AMP is hidden under the driver seat. Sound Processor (ReCurve EZQ) is hidden under rear set. The full size Image Dynamics 10” subwoofers fit behind the rear seats. The entire truck appears to be stock and makes the truck appear to e stock and less likely for break ins. Additionally, the gear is setup for Toyota’s so chances of theft are greatly reduced.
