Haven't been active here in over a decade and bumping an 8-year-old thread :behindsofa: but here I go. One of the dust caps for my Icon UCAs fell off a while back and after rebuilding the UCAs this weekend, I stumbled upon this unfinished thread. I designed these myself (with a little help...

In case anyone is interested in buying the old gal, she's for sale in Houston :crybaby: Used 2003 Toyota 4Runner Limited 2WD for Sale in Houston TX 77063 Roadsters Auto Looks like whoever bought it after me made some very questionable modifications :doh:

It's been a while but I believe I did have those and removed them. That way the full range could go to the 3.5 and the 3.5's built-in cap could limit what goes to the tweeter.

I had not read that, I read that there was already a capacitor in there for the JBL system since it had 3.5s in that so I didn't think it was necessary. It sounds GREAT so :shrug:

Got my gifts on Sunday, can’t wait to use the GoPro mount when I kayak the Riverwalk this weekend! The dry bag too! Thanks santa!

Glad to see people still finding useful info in this thread! The only thing we could think of was a 4th gen with lower mileage and since those are hard to find we got the updated 4th gen. Haters will call it a 5th gen though. Just hope this new taco drivetrain turns out to be as reliable...

The dash speaker wiring would be the biggest difference between JBL and non-JBL. There are a ton of other good write-ups for non-JBL 4runners if you google or search the forum though. I swapped all of these speakers from my non-JBL Tacoma and the only real difference was the dash wiring.

Thanks! I agree, I had a very hard time finding a good writeup for the JBL system and it looked like my speakers were not the same as some of the threads. I think that replacing the rear at the same time may have helped me a lot over you, since I'm not having noise issues with the rear. We...

Upgraded the speakers a couple weeks ago, I posted a thread but also meant to throw some photos in here Swapped in some Kicker CS 6x9s in the front door, CS 6.75s in the rear doors, and DS 3.5s in the dash. My understanding is that the crossover is built into the HU so the 6x9s are not actually...

I went with these speakers because it made more sense to me than a component set. Since the crossover is built into the HU, it is only sending higher freqs to the dash location and lower freqs to the door. The stock setup is a 2-3/4 2-way in the dash and a woofer in the door. This is a 3-3/4...

It was around $150 all in, hard to say since the door speakers came out of my Tacoma (as it says in the strike through) and were purchased 2 years ago. ps. Sorry for the confusion but it’s definitely in the same context as the rest of the post. Strike through = “maybe I shouldn’t say this.”...

One of my wife's dash speakers went out recently and this gave me an opportunity to upgrade my Tacoma to a Morel 3-way component setup which then freed up the Kickers I had been using to upgrade the stock JBL door & dash speakers. May upgrade the HU, sub, and hatch speakers later, but this is a...

Covers & Caps - :cheers:

After some issues with 275s on the 20x7s, we decided to switch to smaller wheels and bigger tires. Vision 18x9 -10 with 275/70R18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Also vinyl wrapped some of the chrome and added Icon Delta Joint UCAs that I painted to match her Dobinsons coils.
