No knock on them, but it also seems that some those that have that system we’re looking to add a second subwoofer which made me think it didn’t produce a fair amount of bass. I wanted a minimal sized sub enclosure and couldn’t really find anything to my liking online. Taco tunes was just too bulky.
So, I jumped right in with the following components to run with my stock head unit.
JL Audio FiX OEM integration processor
JL Audio 10TW3 shallow mount subwoofer in sealed enclosure and outer baffle
JL Audio C5 650 components in front. Tweeters in dash locations
JL Audio C3 650 components in rear setup as coaxial
JL Audio RD900/5 channel amp
Hushmat in all doors
Rear hatch speakers left stock. Can’t hear ‘em anyway. Setup for front staging.
The subwoofer enclosure is small and out of the cargo area just the way wanted it. When I first saw it, I thought there’s no way that sub is going to make me happy.
I WAS WRONG!!
This system is so clean and sounds absolutely amazing! I can’t recommend enough this shallow mount sub. It hits so hard it reminds of my Rockford Fosgate days. Good thing I have a bass knob because I find myself constantly turning it down.

Dude! I have several questions on your setup if you don’t mind me asking!!
-Is that JL 10TW3 shallow mount sub still amazing? I really wanted a custom box for a W6 but I went with the 5th gen 4Runner Stealthbox that houses the same sub. Really hoping it’s everything you say it is.
-And how was the fitment of of the JL door speakers in the fronts and the rear? Went in ok with no problems it seems. Unless you had to do some custom fitting?
I have a RD900/5 amp as well. Can’t wait to get my Stealthbox
