    I called Crutchfield and they talked me into this head unit along with the KTA-450 amp to go with it. I am replacing a stock ‘05 Tacoma audio unit which I honestly thought sounded great...hard to believe how insanely cheap the stock speakers are they have a very small magnet on them and look like they are made out of cardboard, lol.
    This is going in an access cab not a 4 door so this setup should definitely be more than enough power for inside my vehicle to put a smile on my face. 🙂
    I was talked into getting all Infinity with the REF-9630cx 6x9’s for my front speakers with the small tweeters that come with this package to give me truer highs and have the splitters all wired up and ready to go...and the Infinity REF-6532ex for for rear “access cab” doors in my Tacoma.
    I do not mind having to plug in my IPhone 11 Pro Max so the wire does not bother me. I am really looking forward to using Apple CarPlay. 🙂
    I realize the rear speakers are not going to have tons of bass but the speakers in front will have a lot more...not to mention I am also throwing a Rockford 12T Subwoofer in the rear of my truck to simply make up for any bass this particular audio setup may lack.
    I finally am almost finished installing everything just need to get the amps power lead to the car battery and ground the other one...and of course splice into the main parking brake sensor on my truck ( I may do a brake bypass in the future).
    I really hope I went with an amazing package here. I am definitely expecting this setup to absolutely blow away the cheap stock factory audio unit that came with my truck...and actually my ears are so used to my current stock system sounding awesome with tons of power!!!
    This is more than double what a currently have. 😎

    Great video. I bought one of these with the back up amp....and was very disappointed in the sound quality, particularly the bass. However, I didn't know about all the advanced settings. The guy that installed it said he had fine tuned the settings to what he thought I would like....which was wrong. Way too many highs and no lows....the exact opposite of what I like. I then bought a JL Audio 10" powered subwoofer....it may turn out to be overkill.

    There is a major drawback to this system. If you're running a navigation app from your phone, you can't change radio stations without losing the visual map on your screen. This happens whether you manually change radio stations using the touchscreen, or your steering wheel radio controls. The only way I can listen to music without losing the navigation screen is to change the display to a split screen and run a music app instead of the radio, but this uses up data on my phone, and I prefer listening to the radio.
