[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91dyROnz1Wg]



Can I add and amplifier(s) and keep my stock head unit (stereo)?

We offer two solutions for the non JBL stereo in the 2014+. The ReCurve EZQ is generally used in higher end audio systems while our plug and play EZAMPS are generally used in our mid level systems. If you are looking for superb sound quality, have a bigger budget then the ReCurve EZQ is probably your best choice. If you are looking for really good sound upgrade from your stock system, the EZAMPs will not disappoint you.


Please note that both the ReCurve EZQ and the EZAMPs both use our plug and play wire harness system. In the NON JBL stereos you do not have to cut or splice any of the factory wiring. All the plugs match the stock harnesses

The only solution we offer for JBL equipped Tundras is our ReCurve EZQ. The plug and play amps do not work at this time.


What size speakers fit my Toyota Tundra CrewMax?


Why do you guys recommend components and a subwoofer?

As explained in the videos below, to build a quality sound system you need the right size drivers for the job. Most customers that come to our shop and say I really don’t want a subwoofer have A. Never had subwoofer before or B. Had a poorly designed enclosure or very low end subwoofer. 99 times of 100 the vast majroity of our local customers end up with a subwoofer in their system. I wish I had a dollar for every time I heard I really don’t want or need a subwoofer . . we demonstrate with and without the subwoofer and they always change their mind. To many people think that subwoofers are for shaking mirrors or annoying the neighbors. However, when you install a properly tuned and matched subwoofer to a component speaker set, you will enjoy music quality that many have never experienced. Sure our SQ1 packages get very LOUD, but the primary goal is sound quality. Just look at the smiles in our many customers here on the site and Facebook. We should have started posting pictures of customers long ago.

What are component speakers?

A component speaker is a set of car audio drivers matched for optimal sound quality. Typically a pair of tweeters and mid-bass drivers are matched with a crossover to limit the frequency range each speaker must accurately reproduce. Component speakers drivers are physically separated so the tweeter, which is very directional, can be placed in an optimal position, usually facing the listener, while the larger mid-bass driver can be placed where there is room, often in the lower front of the car doors. Component speaker pairs are offered by high-end speaker manufacturers. We often like to place these in the Front doors of each vehicle. Components by nature and design tend to provide much better sound quality.


Example 6.5? Component Speakers

The CTX65CS is an amazing bang for buck speaker. This speaker will outperform component sets costing twice the price. They are rated for 100 watts RMS per speaker. We regularly power them with 125 watts and they simply perform unbelievably for their price point. We have been authorized dealer for Image Dynamics for over 5 years. This is our number one selling speaker. We get nothing but amazing feedback on this speaker. Sometimes we have a hard time keeping them in stock. We offer these with custom sized speaker adapters, custom tweeter mounts and the hardware to get them installed in your Tundra CrewMax.

The speaker mount will replace your stock speaker (see video) and the tweeter includes an adapter that allows you to replace your dash speakers.

Stock stereo system Overview



2014+ Toyota Tundra CrewMax Stereo System Overview and audio options


Many customers ask us about their stock stereo system. Below you will find detailed information about the stock components that were installed by Toyota. Toyota offers two stereo options in 2014+ Toyota Tundra CrewMax. The base audio system and the upgrade JBL Premium Audio.


Stock Head Unit (Stereo):


In 2014 Toyota added some really nice features to the Toyota Tundra CrewMax audio systems(s). A few of the features included in the new Entune stereo system include Bluetooth , Pandora, Iheart and numerous other features and functions. With all these features along with other non-audio features integrated into the stereo, replacing the stock head unit (stereo) is becoming more of a challenge. Although the head unit has undergone a major upgrade, the rest of the audio system is “lacking” at best. We receive hundreds of email from customers asking us what options they have to upgrade their stereo system.


Initially we focused on higher end solutions. However, we now offer entry and mid-level audio upgrades as well. From our high end sound processor to our inline/ plug and play amps, we make it easy to upgrade your sound system. With very little modification to your Toyota Tundra CrewMax you can enjoy amazing sound quality in your Toyota Tundra. We offer a number of different audio solutions based on your budget.

The easiest way to decipher if you have the JBL upgraded system is to check the head unit (stereo). It will say JBL, in addition . . look behind the driver side rear seat (lift up rear seat) – the JBL equipped Tundra’s have a stock subwoofer. If your head unit does not say JBL OR if you don’t have a subwoofer, you do NOT have a JBL unit.


Many people are confused by the amplifier under the passenger seat.
