  1. C’mon Toyota, You can do better than this. (OEM factory subwoofer teardown)

    This is referred to as an ā€œInfinite Baffleā€ or IB sub. The benefit of this design is there isn’t a need for an actual enclosure, as it uses the space behind the sub as a larger box, theoretically allowing for more extension. In THIS use-case is it everything everyone hoped and dreamed for...

    :slow clap: correct, I’m not sure why. One thing I am sure of though, I’m learning to figure it out. I don’t like to throw shade at anyone, especially on the internet, because things can most definitely be taken out of context. However, I don’t step into a forum and say ā€œTheā€ anything thread...
  3. Warranty and aftermarket dash cam.

    Magnuson-Moss act. The dealership would have to PROVE that what you installed is the cause of whatever problem you’re having. If you install a camera, and your headlights stop working, for example, they need to draw a line from the headlights to your dashcam. If you have the plug above the...

    For the harness, check PAC-audio.com. I know the JBL is the TY-02, but never looked up the base stereo options. Good luck.

    @PNWkip looking closer at the manual for your powered sub, I have a question. Where are you grabbing the signal from for the box? Can you possibly, this is going to be loud, get a test tone, something 40-50Hz at 0db, try kicker.com, and measure th voltage on your inputs at the box at...

    I’d probably set the x-over to the x, that’s likely closer to 80Hz. But other than that, your settings look fine. If you’re concerned, maybe try with the boost at minimum. Agreed, an o-scope would be desirable, but not everyone has access to one short of buying their own for a one-time use...

    Interesting. I’m going to have to do more reading on the hybrid in these trucks. I don’t have one, so it’s been down the list of reading material. Thanks for setting me straight.

    Sounds to me like you have it set correctly. Yes, just be careful with the bass boost, that is a sub killer if not done right. And I agree, there’s A LOT of info on EVERYTHING out there. You can end up with ā€œparalysis by analysisā€. I spent a good 10 years doing that when I went from ā€œjust...

    Just read the ā€œgain adjust ā€œ in the manual of the P300, and it says that for best performance the gain should be set at minimum. Where are your gain settings? Because my description of a remote ā€œvolume controlā€ seems like it would apply to this powered sub as well. BTW, I’ve heard Rockford...

    Not knowing exactly which RF sub you have, I’ll make a couple generalizations. When you want to set gains, turn the bass knob up full, adjust any gains on the amp, and be good to go. You need to think of the bass knob as just a volume control for your sub. You’re not negating the gain...
  11. "The" Stereo / Audio Sound Post: Don't Skip this one!

    No, try again. The amplifier is using the power of the alternator to operate. When, and only when, the alternator runs out of available power, the battery is used in reserve. However, Toyota would know this, and design an amplifier that doesn’t need to dip into battery reserves for power..
  12. "The" Stereo / Audio Sound Post: Don't Skip this one!

    It depends on WHEN you touch the bass boost. If you do it before setting gains, all you’re doing is over emphasizing a very narrow frequency range at the expense of the others. Think of it as a blip on a line graph. You can only go as loud as the highest point on that graph. If you...

    Alright. I will leave things as they are. I’ve said most of what I want to. Enjoy your day.
  14. "The" Stereo / Audio Sound Post: Don't Skip this one!

    I’ve had this discussion on another forum, about the BeatSonic. Yes, it will make a perceptible difference to the sound. But it is perception. What you’re hearing, the difference, is likely clipping. As I said, why would Toyota leave any room in the balance of the screen/amp combo, except...
  15. "The" Stereo / Audio Sound Post: Don't Skip this one!

    I would like to draw your attention to information about the Beat-Sonic piece. - It is NOT an amp, according to its name. It is a glorified plug-n-play line driver, similar to an Audio Control LC2i(as an example). What it is doing is boosting the voltage from the screen to the JBL/base...
  16. Clunk on startup when in 4Hi - 25 Tacoma Sport

    If it helps, my ā€˜25 doesn’t clunk on startup in the garage in 4HI in -20*C. Take that information as you will.
  17. How to break in a new Tacoma? Other tips welcomed :)

    In the end, listen to everyone, choose what you want to do, and stick to it. Ask 20 people that question, get 20 answers, none of them entirely wrong.
  18. To chin or not to chin

    My wife……WIFE!! said the spoiler looked stupid. It’s currently hanging on my garage wall like a trophy.
  19. Toyota iPhone app keeps logging me out

    iOS here. Afflicted like others here. I had to nuke the app, restart the phone, and download again. App is working as expected now.
  20. Stereo Leveled up!!

    I used Carista to turn off ANC as well. There is a difference in road noise, if you listen for it. It might be more pronounced with more aggressive tires, I’m not sure.
