Guys’ Toyota Tundra JBL Wiring Repair and audio system re-makeover Image Dynamics SQ1 System

Bass-Knob

Guys’ Toyota Tundra JBL Wiring Repair and audio system re-makeover  Image Dynamics SQ1 System

Installation Summary / History: Guy lives in a town a bit north of San Antonio. He paid a local audio shop to upgrade the audio in his 2016 Toyota Tundra CrewMax 1794 Edition. After 3 visits to the same shop and another large shop here in San Antonio with no luck, he found our website. He came in for a system evaluation. Unfortunately, we see the scenario quite often . “Professional installation” shops doing a horrible job on the installation on JBL equipped Tundras. This is probably the 15th Tundra we have repaired or assisted in repairing here at our location in San Antonio.

When Guy came in, 2 of his door speakers were not working and the system was popping and turning off / on.  The system sounded worse than the stock JBL setup. We gave him a quote and he said he would have to think about it. We recommended that harness system be repaired and replacing the speakers and sub(s). Pretty much a re-do. Guy called us back and said please get this fixed.

Before we could start installing a new system, we had to repair the damaged JBL wiring system. The previous shop did not leave enough of the stock wiring to work with. We had to create a new harness and solder back to original stock wiring. In the pictures below you will see the repair process.

Customer Name: Guy

Toyota Year / Model: 2016 Toyota Tundra CrewMax 4×4 1794 Edition

Guy loves audio in his truck. He had systems in his trucks since back in his high school days. He was pretty much dancing when he left the shop.

William’s  Toyota Tundra CrewMax TSS Off Road Stereo System Upgrade San Antonio TX

Installation Summary / History:

Customer Name: William

Toyota Year / Model: 2014 Toyota Tundra CrewMax SR5 TSS Off Road Edition

Head Unit: NON JBL

Color: Black

Installed by: tacotunes.com

William has had audio systems in most of his vehicles. However, he stated he has always had to settle for lower end equipment. On this go round he stated he wanted to get the most bang for his buck.  He came to us with a subwoofer box loaded with 2 JL TW3 Subwoofers and a JL Audio HD750/1 Monoblock Amp.  We agreed to install his equipment along with our Image Dynamics SQ1 package. When he showed up, we demoed our dual 10” ported Image Dynamics subwoofer box and let him choose which route he wanted to go. After demoing both setups, he went with our setup. The JLs sounded awesome, great over all sound and a very nice setup. However, the sealed box and shallow mounts subs were missing the lower end of the frequency range. Sure the JLs could rattle the mirror, but they were missing that LOW end extension like most smaller sealed boxes. In addition at lower volume the sealed box did not produce the lows without turning up the volume. This poses a problem when you want to drive with your audio at moderate level. The Image Dynamics subwoofer in the port tuned box from Tacotunes was providing both ends of music spectrum. In addition the tonal quality was much more prevalent in the tacotunes.com box.

Why would the ported box sound better? There are many factors in designing a subwoofer box. The biggest issue in the 2014+ Toyota Tundra CrewMax is lack of air space. Here at tacotunes, we maximized the most air space possible. Then we used the best subwoofer for this solution. Image Dynamics is the only manufacturer that has been geared for smaller enclosures for over a decade. The ID10s have an Xmax of 17mm, most subs in it’s class are 11MM. The SD (cone area) is larger than most in it’s class AND they can handle 400 watts RMS easily. Put them in a properly tuned enclosure and the sound quality is very difficult to match at ALL listening levels. Who cares if the sub only sounds good at high volumes, the vast majority of your listening time will be at moderate level.

Williams’ system is louder than more of our SQ1 packages because he opted for the Exile XM15.4. This amp will output 150 watts RMS to each speaker. The Front Door Component Image Dynamics speakers can easily handle 150 watts RMS and the rear doors loaded with Image Dynamics CTX65CS speakers were setup with around 125 watts RMS.

With the additional power we upgraded his chassis ground to minimize the dimming lights.

Below you will find a detailed listing of all the parts we used in the installation.

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.
