Toyota Tacoma Stealth System

Posted by csdadmin

In a truck, there’s not a lot of spare room. So we had to think small to get big sound! A custom subwoofer enclosure housing two 10″ Pioneer shallow woofers was stashed behind the back seat. On the driver’s side, two Mosconi amplifiers which power the system were mounted to a custom amp racks and hidden behind the seat as well. Focal K2 Power component speakers were installed in the front doors after thorough sound deadening. Focal Access SG coaxial speakers were added to the rear doors to fill in the sound. The owner of this truck wanted to keep the factory cosmetics of the dash intact so this system was integrated into the stock Toyota navigation unit. The end result is a a tremendous upgrade in sound without any impact on the interior of the vehicle!

If you love music, you need to hear this car. Even if you’re not in the market for new equipment, even if you like to shop somewhere else, the audio system in this car will open your eyes to what’s truly possible in bringing high fidelity audio to an automotive environment. Schedule a time to stop by and take a no obligation listen to this system… you’ll be glad you did! Call travis @ 801.960.2999 or contact me via email to set up a private listening session.

The system delivers stunningly realistic sound through Focal Utopia Be no. 7 component speakers in the front doors & a-pillars, a JL Audio 13″ Shallow subwoofer flush mounted in the rear quarter panel and is powered by three Italian built Mosconi amplifiers installed in the floor.

The goal of this system was to create a listening environment that would re-create the feeling of listening to a great 2-channel music system in your home. Along with great sound, I needed to retain this wagon’s ability to haul cargo to my home theater job sites or take my dog to the park. I also really like the cosmetics and feel of the factory Audi interior and wanted to make the new system blend in as much as possible. This system accomplished all of these goals and performs better than even I had hoped. But, you don’t have to take my word for it. Come take a listen today!

A Tale of two 3’s

I enjoy projects like this when they come along. Mike was looking to make a substantial improvement to the Bose system in his Speed3, but uses his car to haul things for his business, and couldn’t give up any trunk space. I built him a custom fiberglass woofer enclosure INSIDE his spare tire which housed one of Pioneer’s Shallow 12″ woofers. We also added a bass knob in the dash to allow him to fine-tune the music to his exact tastes on the go. Mike now has a car that sounds awesome, retains 100% of the cargo room and still has easy access to his spare tire.

***UPDATE***
This is the great part about designing a system from the ground up for each customer. Mike’s buddy loved this system so much, he wanted one of his own. The design goal was simple… “Make it louder than Mike’s!” Cool. Cargo space was just as important to Blaine so we stuck with Pioneer’s shallow 12″ subwoofer, only doubling the quantity and designing a custom vented enclosure to wring every ounce of performance out of this system. Even with 2 woofers and the custom box, we only lost 4″ of cargo room in the rear. The box also has a Speakon quick disconnect system so the box can be quickly and safely removed to free up the rest of the hatch for hauling stuff.
