SOLD I have for sale a custom Subwoofer cabinet (NO SUB INCLUDED) for a 5th Gen 4Runner. This fits into the passenger side nook behind the rear fender and fits an 8" Sub. It could be modified for a shallow 10". I used a JL8W3. It is exactly .5 cuft volume. The box is covered in Black...

I hit my second deer this year. Damage should be about 2500 bucks. I want a bumper that will make sure the deer is dead & I don't have to repair it after the next murder. Ideas? ChipG

Turbo 4R I have been wanting to turbo my 2011 and keep comming back to the Squires Turbo system. If your not familiar, "Trucks" had an eoisode where they installed a system on a tacoma. They have a universal system with various add ons like turbo timers and such. The benefit is that the...

BupKiss We got BupKiss in Manassas, and I spent an hour bolting the plow on my yard tractor. And chains. Dream job....say bullshit, get paid

I have added an amp and speakers to my stock head unit and am super happy with the sound. The bluetooth is another story. Has anyone here ampd a stock head unit and figured out how to turn down the volume on the bluetooth when using the phone? Thanks ChipG

Sub knob Your right hand should rest on it. Fingers reach.... I find that every song is recorded differently so I'm constantly adjusting. ChipG

Sub Cabinet build The box cost very little to build. 1/2 sheet of MDF $25 maybe and about $25 for vinyl. The JL8w3 was about $200. I am running a JL 700/5 amp with an Audio Control LCQ-1 and the stock head unit. Front speaker are JL (again) C5 3 way components. The sound is amazing with a...

Don't settle for an 8" sub..... Don't settle, listen to a good one, set up correctly with the right amp and xover.

No, Sorry, Im not in business to build boxes, and there is no patern. I back the car up to the shop & test fit each piece. So, if you lived down the street and didnt need your car for a couple weeks and had a hot wife, we could make a deal.

Sub & Shelf I built this box a few years ago for my 4th Gen with the shelf. Here's the thread link: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/audio-electronics/25573-built-my-own-stealthbox.html

Speaker Adapter Templates Here are the Speaker Adapter templates. The background grid is 1" x 1" Note that the center hole is for a basic 6.5" round speaker. My new JL's are 6.75" usually a new set will come with either a dimension or it's own template.

Speaker Templates Above are the Speaker Adaptor Templates in PDF form. The background grid is 1" square. Hope this works

Adaptors I found My Templates...I'll see if I can PDF them.

Final Got up this morning and finished the installation of the JL Audio C5 3 way component speakers in the front stage of my 2011 T4R. The sound is amazing. The stage is up at face level rather than down at my waist. Very clear but, not harsh tweeters and mids. I still need to get used to it...

Front Cover attachment The cover is screwed on from the back. I drill a 1" hole in the back of the box and use a long screw driver to reach through the box to install the screws. Then plug the back holes with 1" dowell. This is the only way to get to these screws in such a shallow box. If you...
