New Head Unit for 5th gen....

Good day all. I was hoping for some help from the community.

I am looking upgrade the only part of my 2010 4Runner Limited that I find myself being only slightly less than pleased with... The stereo. I currently have the stock JBL system with NAV. Prior to purchasing the 4Runner, I had an A4 with a Kenwood DNX-9140 installed in it. Seems to me the sound was significantly more full across the spectrum coming from the Bose speakers. Seems like the stock speakers in the 4Runner are a bit more tinny and lacking in midbass. I have done some research and find myself leaning toward the updated version of my previous head unit, the Kenwood DNX-9960.

Here is what I need help with: Has anyone gotten an after market unit put in their 5th Gen? If so I would love to see some picture of how the dash looks after the install.

Also what speakers would you recommend? I was leaning toward JL C5-650's for the front doors and JL C2-650X for the backdoors/rear hatch.

Since there is not a stealth box or another enclosure out yet (correct me if I am wrong) that won't monopolize my rear cargo area I am just going to replace the factory sub with an 8" JL.


If anyone has any input or pictures of their own installs in a 5th Gen 4Runner, I would really love to see them.

Yeah, I can't decide if I like all that extra silver there or not..... I wish I could put a gauge or switch on each side or something.... like an inclinometer or anything to break up all that extra space....

Is that even do-able/realistic?

Danggg, that's a lotta space. I suggest you put your cell phone holder or cb mic holder in there. Or put stickers.
 
the extra silver looks bad. It just screams after market. I got the original hu back in and I'm shopping for a portable gps. I hope rosen males a lot for 4runners soon. :)
