    2019 Tacoma TRD OR build

    So after many years of hiatus on personal systems, I’ve decided it’s time to scratch that itch again and start building my truck instead of customer cars.

    I had originally built a Genesis Coupe running Arc Audio and Morel, but this time I figure I’m goi g to tone down on the system complexity and build an all around daily driver in my Taco.

    So for starters, I’ve deadened the doors with Noico deadener and what a difference from that base point.

    The system source unit is now the Alpine ILX-F309 with Maestro and definitely added wonders to the factory speakers from a base, until I figure out whether I run a Morel 3 way or Hybrid Audio 3 way. Click image for larger version.

    Yup, Morel for sure as long as the ccwr 2.5" midrange isn't part of it. Good sounding midrange until it's time to party then bad things happen.
    They might say "don't try this at home" but nothing about not trying it at your friend's house.

    Not having luck with the CCWR’s? Was really considering those for my factory dash locations.

    I'm in for a Taco build! Oh, and my vote is Morel (Elates), too!

    They're just not built to take the heat if you're into cranking it up. They sound REALLY good though at more sane volume levels.

    Also look into Audiofrog. The gb25 midrange is probably about as good as at gets for a 2.5" midrange. It has 4mm of Klippel verified linear excursion. The gs690 will blow your mind for midbass if on a budget but the gb60 is the cream of the crop...but $900 a pair for the gb60! And the gb10 tweeters are so smooth and detailed. For your truck I'd do the gs690, gb25, and gb10 if going Audiofrog.

    The Audiofrog gs25 may be another alternative to consider. They are made to fit factory locations with cutoff tabs. Quite a bit less expensive than the GB line if thats important.

    I’m not big on the “Frogs” just never did anything for me. Top end is kinda on a back burner right now as I’m trying to figure out a solution to an issue.

    i bought a Illusion Audio C10, but when I build my box, I didn’t take into account the magnet protrusion and it pokes into the back seat. I don’t want to rebuild my enclosure and I need to find a new home for the C10 and probably switch to a JL 10 TW3.

    getting ready to start mocking up an amp rack for my Rockford T750x1BD and T400x4AD amps. Still waiting on materials but I’ll share that once I get my stuff.

    So I went ahead and ordered a JL 10TW1. Should work just fine behind the seat. Got some materials in, but my ABS got delayed in shipping.

    I love Morel, but I had two different 2-1/2" sets blow up in 15 minutes. I ended up going with Audible Physics RAM2's instead, and they haven't broken a sweat.
