Thanks for the feedback

I think at some point I will replace the speakers, but not just yet… heck I paid enough for the damn things! I still want to add the EQ though and here’s my reasoning.

When I got my ’97 Tacoma 4by it came with the el-cheapo stock am/fm cassette - 4 speakers, 2 front 2 back (XtraCab). It sounded just about the same as my new X. I decided to replace the head unit with an Alpine dual din am/fm/cd with built-in DSP EQ. MAN! What a major difference! I couldn’t believe it, I decided to leave the stock speakers in. My daughter now has the Tacoma and still has the stock speakers. I suppose a sub/w would improve it but the volume is fine for us.

I’m hoping to get the same results in the X, the head unit isn’t that bad and the 8 speakers should sound better than they do... even if they aren’t top-o-the-line. The Pioneer EQ can be gotten for $195, that’s not too bad

I'll let you know the results.
