Purchased a 2011 Crewmax Limited w/ JBL audio system two weeks ago. I am in the process of upgrading all audio except the JBL nav headunit. I have a few questions though.
Here is what I have purchased:
-(2) 12W3V3-4 Ohms (wired in parallel)
-Custom box for crewmax
-MTX 400x4 amp for door speakers
Will be purchasing in the next few weeks:
-FatMat Sound Deadner 50 sqft x 80 mils (not sure if this will be enough)
-2 pairs of Alpine SPR-60c components (for front and back doors)
-Amp for the 2 subs (2 ohms
-Wiring kit
1. I also need a converter to allow my factory JBL w/ nav head unit to work with this, correct? If so what do you suggest?
2. I want my navigation, bluetooth, and steering wheel controls to still function correctly, is there anything else I need in order for this to happen?
3. Should I replace the 3-3 ½ speakers in the dash? If so, would I need anything besides the speakers?
4. I am trying to decide between 3 amps for the subs. Recommended total RMS 300-1000W on JL's site. My buddy had these subs in his tundra with a 500/1 and insists it was plenty of power; while I'm leaning more towards 1000/1:
A. JL XD600/1 (@ 2 ohms 600W) $380
B. JL JX 1000/1D (@ 2 ohms 1000W) $267
C. Kicker ZXS1000.1 (@ 2 ohms 1000W) $250
Which would you go with or would you consider something else. I'd like to keep it under $400
5. Any other general advice/suggestions?
