Has anyone upgraded their JBL sound system? What are the subwoofer options? I tried the beat sonic amplifier but don't like the noise floor, I want something better.

what is the "noise floor"?
I know that Tacoma Beast sells the Orella Acoustics amp thats like $2k. They claim its great. I don't know if its better than or works with the beat sonic.

I also saw that Beat Sonic put out a video for their new product, under the seat amp harness that connects to your factory power seat harness. With that they connected to two JBL slim under the seat amps.

Is the white noise (static) you hear at low volume, is quite annoying.

With Carista you can turn that off. Active Noise Cancelling ANC & Engine Sound Enhancement ESE.
I turned that feature off week 2 of ownership. I never heard it. That's the "noise floor" he's talking about?

Seems like it - which may make sense in his case since the BeatSonic basically increases the signal from the H/U to the speakers.

I never heard mine either but turned it of regardless

What I want to know is if that Orella Acoustiscs Amp is worth $2K. Why is Beat Sonic $300 to 400 and Orella selling an amp for $2k. Is it better? it installs differently, i know that. I want better audio so i'm looking at everything

Two completely different things.

Granted that the Orella isn't worth it's price, but yea they are two separate types of devices.
