I’m trying it under the center console, but watching the temp. So far it seems fine when it’s not over 100 degrees out. I may move it.

I mounted it elsewhere for now, as I think it would have been tight, if it fit at all. It gets fairly hot, but didn't seem too bad. There was a noticeable difference, both in EQ and the staging. I didn't feel like it was a radical difference, which was good. The low end from the stock unit...

That's what I like about this amp, is that it's not just an amp. First impressions are great for my taste, so we'll see how it settles in for me.

Here is the harness setup for the 5th gens (although the packaging indicates that they'll work on much older T4R's). The harnesses are well labeled and appear to match everything with the factory harnesses (balance, fade, radio dim with lights, all work as expected) The larger one includes the...

The amp is the Kicker Key180.4. The harnesses were purchased through Amazon because Crutchfield didn't have both of them. They are Metra brand part # 70-1761 and 71-1761. I took pics of the harnesses because I had to make a slight modification to accommodate one wire (dim wire, according to...

I ordered this amp from Crutchfield and have to say I'm thoroughly impressed! I bought both radio wire harnesses to avoid splicing and it went in very smooth. To set up, you plug in the mic and place it on the top of the headrest, play the pink noise generator from the Kicker website (I did it...

It self tunes. I already have Alpine SPS-610C Components in the front and Rockford R1525X2's in the rear doors. I've added sound deadener in all the doors too, as well as the Party Mode EQ mod. Although they made a difference, the system still needs some help. I don't want it loud; just...

Kicker announced a new mini amp with built in auto tuning. I want to keep the system stealth, so this could be the answer. Curious on everyone's thoughts! https://www.kicker.com/key-smart-amplifier

I have a 2011 and notice that noise too. Seems to be normal operation, and heard it on other 2010-2012's that I test drove before buying mine. I figured it was just a characteristic of this V6.

Changed my rear diff fluid w/ Royal Purple. I've been driving it for a few days hoping the shudder I get from 0-15mph (approx) was clutch chatter from the diff, but it's not. Still get the shudder, but it seems to be only when the engine is warm. Back to the drawing board on this one. I will...

I got the AUTO-VOX T1400 backup mirror and a camera as well as a USB port for Christmas. Install went pretty smooth, but running the wires around the rear window mechanism was a little tricky. Love the additions though!

Before my T4R, I had a Trailblazer SS. With near 400hp, the power was always there, even with a tickle of the throttle. I do miss that power, but the 4Runner shines with dependability and the comfort of knowing it just works. I had so many little (and some big) issues with my SS, I don't miss...

I’ve experienced this from 0-20 mph. It doesn’t occur when shifting and doesn’t seem to matter whether hot or cold out. I had a Trailblazer that had the same feeling and it was due to rear diff clutch packs (as I was told). Changing the fluid using only Royal Purple made a big difference but...

Just did this mod yesterday and ordered some rear door speakers for the next step. I already installed Alpine SPS-610C's up front, but now need to address the mess out back. Thanks for posting this!

This was bothering me since stuff in this pocket kept sliding out. Today I popped the top of the panel and ran bungee through.
