8" Mid Bass in 4Runner Doors?
I'm curious if anyone has installed or attempted to install an 8" driver in the door of a 5th gen 4Runner and would like whatever experience or feedback you have.
I have a 2019 4Runner and looking to do a very simple build. I looked at the Kenwood set with the 3.5" coax for the dash and a 6x9 mid bass for the door. It would be an easy setup. I would just bi-amp them from a Dayton DSP into an old Eclipse 3640 I have.
Lately I've been playing more with drivers and cabinets for home use and thinking of doing an active 3-way with the Dayton reference series using the 3" and a tweeter in the dash. They have an 8", a 7", and 6.5" in the series and I want to try for the 8" but may have to go with the 7".

You'll just have to experiment to see what you might be able to fit versus how much fabrication you want to do. I've heard several installs using the Audiofrog GS690 and they are the real deal. Hybrid Audio also make a 6x9, I believe in their Unity line.

Thank you. I guess I'm going to be the Guinea pig and dig in. I just hate taking the door apart before I'm ready to work on it but I better take some measurements.
I still may just go the 6x9 route. As long as it's a true mid bass I should be fine.

want to say there have been a couple 4runner builds with both 7" and 8" in the doors (i know there are 2 on DIYMA). I have a 19 right now and looking into it. Have 3" Faital Pros in the the dash. Looking to go on a budget 3 way. Tweets in custom sail, and probably 7" in doors, with a light sound deadening. Then to a 8"/10" sub in custom box in factory location

Thank you, I did see that build. I'm very interested in how it was done. I especially liked the custom grill mesh.
It sounds like we are looking at similar setups. I have a set of Dayton Reference 3" that haven't found project yet and a pair of tweeters from another vehicle. It would seem an active 3 way is a no brainer. I plan to fiberglass the largest enclosure I can reasonably get in the factory void. I'm hoping for a 12" but may only have room for a 10".

I have 9's in mine so I guess it is possible. :D
