Car Audio Central - Ultimate Car Audio Forum and Community

Ok. I am like 90% sure on buying a 2008 Tacoma double cab (V6, 2wd) as soon as I start work.

I've been trying to plan out my audio, and I think I've decided what I want to do.

Head Unit:
keeping the existing Alpine DVA-9861


Mains (6.5"):
something new from the following (or feel free to add some!)-
Boston Acoustics Pro
Boston Acoustics Z
Diamond Hex
Focal PolyKevlar
Focal Polyglass
Polk SR6500

My Rainbow CS230's will be rears.


Amps:
I may upgrade them, but it will stay as the JBL P180.2 and JBL BP600.1
boy I hope those Elevation amps are still around when I do :)


Subs:
I think I've figured out that I want Kicker CVT 12's or 10's (two, shallow-mount). I think it depends on which will fit. I have very limited room behind the rear seats. I believe to have about a max of 5.5" of depth for a sub. This is what I am going by as for measurments: https://shop.tacotunes.com/displayProdu ... tegoryId=3


Lend me some ideas if you've got any. Hopefully in a month I will be putting this all in.

im not a big fan of the kicker cvt's, IMO they look like an ugly hub cap, if i were to go with a shallow mount, i'd go with the pioneer premiers

happy to hear that you are going with the Tacoma... I've driven the 07 and 08 model and they are just fantastic trucks... Much better than pre-2004. Im sure what ever you end up doing in it will come out great.

Screw your rears, I want those Rainbows!

I've seen too many poor reviews for the Pioneer shallow ones. I've pretty much figured this much for the shallow ones:
Kicker/Clarion/Exile > Kenwood > Pioneer

I don't really care what they look like. They just need to perform. I don't have much of a choice if I want to keep my back seat lol

I've driven an 07 and I liked it a lot. I'm still considering a few other vehicles, but I am mostly set on the Tacoma.

Mine.

my dad has a quad cab tacoma '08, that thing rox!

that is the most ass backward shallow mount list i have ever seen lol

I really like the new Tacoma's, if I had a bigger garage I would get one. It would be a great 'haul the dirt bike around' truck!

lol it would be a great "haul whatever the hell you want to" truck!

Why?

80% of the Pioneer reviews were bad and/or lacking.
