hey Russo what's going on man just started following you just got me a 2018 Tacoma looking to do some upgrades I have a question for you I'm going to get a 3in spacer to level the front with the 3-inch block to put in a rear what I need to upgrade my shops for that or if you have any suggestions on a decent suspension lift I'm all ears

[@JesseRizo]

You can email me for more detail [e-mail] but do you plan on doing any offroading? Or your never going to touch dirt it’s an important question lol that’s y

[@andregonzalez91]

Hey man did you sell your other sub box with the kicker ?

[@JesseRizo]

Yea my friend I did

[@andregonzalez91]

Hey man that’s cool like the upgrades keep the videos coming 😎

[@ManFromTheBroadMeadow]

I cant imagine a better video on this topic Good work brother.

[@JesseRizo]

Thanks for the support :)

[@Peccs91]

Man I gotta tell you, im an idiot when it comes to installs, but watching your videos, i feel like i can do anything! Awesome videos for Tacomas, especially 3rd gens. Keep it up man!

[@JesseRizo]

U got it my friend if u ever have questions. U can always email me as well I leave my email in all my videos description box :)!!! Thanks for the support it means a lot to me

[@mingomane1]

A tip for this install. You want to keep the remote wire and the power wire separate from the rca cables. Ideally you would like to run the rca cables on the other side of the truck cabin. This will prevent noise from the current going through the power wire.

[@caden2377]

mingomane1 another tip for install is to use any brand except kicker

[@mingomane1]

Caden Cannon I do like their solobaric series but the rest is meh

[@michaelouellette7950]

mingomane1 if you use quality wire and RCA’s and the sub is crossed over correctly any noise will be too high for the sub to play

[@michaelouellette7950]

Caden Cannon why do you think kicker is so bad?

[@RandomVideosInFlorida]

Caden Cannon kicker is a top brand so shows how stupid you are

[@OG_zombie]

By far the best install video I have seen. Great video!

[@douglasbaker5949]

Is 14mm sockets the new 10mm. That’s a relief I’m running low on 10mm sockets

[@maccook5230]

Nice install but next time I’d probably use ofc wire that cca gets really hot and it won’t last you in the long run. you loose voltage between the battery and the amp let’s say maybe a volt or 2. And you won’t be getting all the power you paid for it takes power to make power.

[@JesseRizo]

Heck yea ok thanks for the insight :)!! 🙌

[@richardgaleno3574]

Very detailed & helpful video.. saved time & money.. thanks man 🤘🏽

[@trueadventures5284]

Awesome video ! Super informative and detailed providing the info !

[@JesseRizo]

Thanks for watching :)

[@lorenzovalderrama5325]

Thank you jesse, been waiting for this video, wanted to know the right products to buy for the system install.

[@JesseRizo]

U got it my friend as recommendation for the amp I would probably go with a rockford fosgate or a kicker amp and for the amp kit the one I used is ok but I would shoot for a rockford or a kicker amp kit but if u just want a little added bass the one I used is ok, and as far as the box I used that one is perfect and the subwoofer I used is good and the line output converter is good to use 👍 😁👍

[@lorenzovalderrama5325]

Jesse Rizo thank you jesse for helpful tips and recommendations really appreciate it man. Can’t wait to intsall my system in my taco

[@JesseRizo]

Lorenzo Valderrama u welcome and if u have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask or email me directly 👍

[@EnriqueG_s550]

Dude! I was just looking for subwoofer enclosures for the truck I was on google and your video pops up! Haha great minds think alike brotha!

[@EnriqueG_s550]

I was planning on soldering rcas onto a factory speaker signal wire but now I will definitely be using this converter! Thanks brotha

[@JesseRizo]

Yea man it makes it super easy with this one lol!!!,

[@JesseRizo]

Lol that’s badass hahah!!! You got that right 😎👍👍👍 lol!!

[@ronaldtaylor8895]

Does this adaptor work for the 2018 non JBL Tundra as well. I've seen videos that it seem much more complicated than this on the tundra, but head unit looks about the same.

[@ronaldwmartinson6668]

I have 3 words "JUST LIKE THAT"!!!

dont forget to smash the like button lol

[@gabe32howard]

Jesse, great video by the way. Do you know what the Maximum Depth in rear seat for Subwoofer? For a 2nd gen 2015 toyota double cab.

[@JesseRizo]

I don’t my friend sorry

[@Peytonsdad]

I know this is an older video but I am doing a very similar install. What did you use to actually mount the amp to the back trim piece?

[@ferneyramirez3008]

Hey Jeese how are you. With this apdater I CAN put 2 amps 1 for the speakers the Other one for the Subwoofer..

[@theimprovisor8998]

I have a 2017 Toyota Tacoma, SR trim Access cab will that adapter work?

[@Sergiote10]

how did you mount the sub box to the firewall? wondering how to do mine. Also kind of the same question for the amp

[@mrlambo2972]

Hey bro , is this compatible to a 2021 Toyota Tacoma? The harness adapter

[@JesseRizo]

It’s only meant for 2019 and down :/

[@felixrivas9673]

Hi Jesse, great channel and content. Is this converter the same for the 2020? I know the head unit is different, but I know you have upgraded to the 2020 as well. Please let me know. Thanks!

[@smokeybear4403]

Hey y’all if y’all decide to get the power line output converter the one linked in the description does not fit the 2020+ Tacoma’s I bought one and it doesn’t fit

[@Frenchie-man]

That line out converter will work on my 2023 Tacoma?

[@JesseRizo]

No it has a different radio

[@Frenchie-man]

Do you know if they make one for a 2023 tacoma?

[@KiDNation213]

The link for the line output connector doesn’t work anymore new link?

[@illmatixTV2]

Did you just screw the amp into the plastic? How did you make it not slide or move around?

[@JesseRizo]

I mounted it with screws and it’s worked lol I believe I showed it in the video

[@ainsteinalex]

Does everything fit with a 2021 Tacoma?

[@ernestof5050]

Will this fit on my 2021 quad cab Tacoma?

[@Dadthalete]

I know this is an old video but is there any chance you have the dimensions of the sub enclosure? They are $180 now and I can build it. I did see you upgraded already if you still have it I'll buy it from you.

[@FUCCOD]

👍. Using the wiring kit from tacotunes. And amp. Wiring is all plug n play amp has smart start, liked that so no remote wire ;)

[@JesseRizo]

Nice and easy that way ;) lol

[@tudyloco1726]

Fyck taco tunes that box is 🗑waste of $$$

[@sandiegorootz4530]

Do you get rattle in the rear of the cab behind the seats that you here on the outside?

[@JesseRizo]

Every once in a while but I have my truck sound deadened so it helps

[@thatonedude1678]

What was the options you got with the new box? They have a lot of different options lol

[@mindtracker46]

Olay bought the amp kit, and have the sub woofers, but they’re 12s and I have to get it make a sub box that first them?

[@ryansant1]

Jesse, the link for the sub box builder seems to not work. How can I get in contact with them?

[@thepokerpilotapp]

For $100 you can use the Bose Soundlink II. it’s a Bluetooth speaker that just may sound better than the system upgrade many have done. It’s portable too so you can use it on your tailgate and anywhere else your imagination will bring you.

[@aznbraddah87]

Bass is pronounced the same as the word base. FYI. Good video BTW!

[@JesseRizo]

Well now I know lol thanks

[@TheLaughingLion]

this was a super clean install. if I did this you'd see wires everywhere and the box sliding in the back when you turn left 😸😸

[@JesseRizo]

Lol without recording I’d probably do the same 😂

[@dreamer1928]

Great video. The only thing I saw that you missed was you didn't tell the novices about setting the level on the high level adapter. And also, the sound dampening material is really a matter of preference. I do have to point out though, that it does take up space, so it alters you airspace inside the subs enclosure. A better alternative that I have personally used is rubberized undercoating. It deadens the vibrations to the box while not really using us a significant amount of internal air space.

[@jeredgreenwald3237]

Great job - thorough without being repetitive. Provided good detail without getting lost in the weeds. Looking forward to watching more of your videos!

[@JesseRizo]

this saved me so much time and effort to do an install! Highly appreciative of this

I appreciate you for watching it means a lot to me thank you

[@bm1267]

Awesome video, very interested, how deep of a 10" sub do you think I can use with your size box. I have a 2017 Tacoma SR5. Much thanks

[@JesseRizo]

I believe it’s only intended for shallow mount subs

[@lopezraa45]

Thank for the videos!! I have a 2022 Tacoma TRD Pro and it already has a JBL stereo, but I would like to add more power. What do you recommend me

[@JesseRizo]

That one is a little more complicated I’m sure there is company’s out there now that have adapters for it but If not you may have to do a full on stereo swap and everything for yours :/

[@Slking507]

You don't even need a tool for that bezel. It just pops off really easy.

[@willechols3521]

Since the subs are on one side, does that make any of the sound, sound weird or off?

[@channinglalande2002]

Does the plug n play wiring adapter work for a 2017 Tacoma? The link says 95-2016 Tacomas

[@JesseRizo]

It should work this was on a 2018

[@xEvilxEmpirex]

Great video, but are your speakers still running off the stock head unit? I wanted to see how you go about connecting speakers to amp as well. Probably need another adapter in the back with more outputs

[@White.trd.tacoma]

Thank you for the subwoofer box link. Been trying to find a box for the 3rd gen for ages. 👍🏻

[@JesseRizo]

You got it my friend 👍👍 Thank you for watching

[@dominicventura6027]

Whats the link!?

[@darienwilliams4765]

Can I use this adapter for my 2019 Toyota Tacoma & can I use it for a 4 channel amplifier setup.?

[@JesseRizo]

Yes and yes it should

[@nonenone4078]

What systems need that line amplifier converter I have a 2013 Toyota tundra crew max non JBL

[@JesseRizo]

It’ll be same process most likely just a different converter

[@jordanwesolowski8517]

The foam in the sub box is called polyfill it tricks the subwoofer into thinking it in a bigger enclosure which makes it hit harder and get those low notes

[@JesseRizo]

Thank you :)!!!!!!

Hey Jesse would the output converter work on a 2017 with JBL system?

[@JesseRizo]

The plug may be different if I’m not mistaken :/

[@jerryross8215]

Where in the hell did u find that line output plug and play??? Not on Amazon. Can't find it

[@JesseRizo]

I found it on Amazon but I think it’s discontinued now

[@highflyer13131]

I like to put an inline toggle switch on my remote line for the amp. This way I can turn it off when I have my kids or other passengers in the back. Great video, very detailed.

[@JesseRizo]

I’ve done that in the past in another car lol it works out good to be honest 👍 , the cool thin on this amp I don’t recommend it cuz it’s not that good but it’s nice that it comes with the bass control knob so it kinda works as the toggle switch I can control the bass and just lower it all the while in the same scenario, Thanks for watching my friend :)

[@Explore-Gobal]

Been doing a lot of research and found your video to be very good. Only 6 minutes in but will certainly watch the rest.

[@marcosmaldonado7984]

What’s the name of the converter that goes on back of the Radio and outputs RCSs ?

[@TonyLiciouuus69]

How is the quality of the box bro? And how do you like the sound? Is the bass nice and deep? Thinking of going with this box, do you know the mounting depth measurements? In the description of the box it says "brackets on cab wall needs removal" what brackets?

[@JesseRizo]

It’s not bad it feels sturdy and as far as deep if u get the correct subwoofer I got a cheap amp so it couldn’t push my subwoofer and brackets they probably mean the panel that I removed if not the panel from the back of the seat which I showed in video that u should remove

[@briantruxtonjr.6108]

24 minutes to not even hear it.....awesome

[@Wargon666]

the acoustic padding is called PollyFill, and using a LOC to send the signals to the amp is a MISTAKE! Use the amps internal LOC an it will work alot better, I know I have installed car audio for over 30 yrs off an on!~

[@blooddisorder]

It’s not foam inside the box. It’s polyfill. Polyester filling. It slows down the sound wave and lowers the frequency response as if the box is slightly larger. The reason it’s used is that the boxes your using are to small.

He said Bass like the fish. good times

Pro tip, if you dont have a tool to remove the plastic around the radio, grab it by the passenger air vent on the top and pull twards the driver seat, whole piece should just let go.
