Hello

I have a 2016 4Runner limited and I recently added a new head unit Pioneer DMH-WT7600NEX. I have stock JBL speakers all around which includes sub.

What I noticed is that the volume doesn’t seem as loud as it used to be on the stock headunit as the quality seemed better with bass etc.

I have to turn the volume to about 30 to really hear it decent and if I go up to 34 ish the volume quality decreases and once my factory amp shut off likely due to overload. Restarting the car did the trick.

Now I know the front is a 6x9 component speaker, any recommendations on the best one to get with solid bass like the jbl head unit used to do? Don’t mind spending $500 or so as the sound quality is important to me. I would change all speakers if I go that route .

In terms of amps, does everyone mount it under the seat? Any issues having it there or can people see if sitting down there while in the back? Planning on going with a 5 channel if new speakers require it and I’ve looked at those mini amps that are half the size thinking it might help hiding it under the seat.

Let me know your thoughts as I’ve read a lot of forums and some folks had bad experiences or they settled because they already bought speakers.

Thinking Infiniti Kappa, alpine type R or JBL GTO etc.

Thanks in advance!
