Very little space behind the seats, I put a 12 in rear foot well untill I finish the trans hump/rear middle seat enclosure View attachment 318637

This will be a monster.

Just some further consideration for the Hilux:
Alternator kinda sucks
You need to deaden the entire cabin, especially the fire wall. This means dash out.
Will need to drill the firewall to fit 0awg and grommet/waterproof fitting
Doors need alot of work to properly deadern and seal, the ute has basically none from factory. Will still have buzz from the window mech nonmater what
Will need to make your own solid mounts for doors, the pre-made ones are crap.
Air bags make pillar mounted mids tweets difficult.

That looks a nice build you are getting there. Definitely looking for more pics

Also can you please provide the setup detail?What equipments and what are you using?

 

[Pfilg]

So these are pics from my install, I ended up adding more dynamat than what you can see here. The panel just behind the rear bench headrest needs to be removed and treated with some kind of decoupler, I used 3M VHB double sided tape. After placing that panel and rear seat back on, I wedged rubber mat between the seat back and the panel to ensure there was no rattling.

For window resonance, I don't seem to have any at all, maybe because my window tint is super thick.

I found some rubber carpets at a local shop and made floor mats for additional sound deadening, seems to do the trick.

Now that my install is complete, I can honestly say I'm not wanting more. It sounds just how I imagined it would. The single 13TW5 can boogie, the 2 way active audiofrog gb setup is incredible and my amps run pretty cool. I may swap out the rear fill speakers to something more budget since I'm not using the Morels as they were intended (bandpass 500-2800).

Anyways, good luck with your install.

Forgot to mention. I have an auto, not sure if the manual transmission is any different, but there was a nice unused grommet behind the engine on the firewall to run my 1/0 AWG wire, then I ran it alongside the passenger side trims. Everything popped back in place like factory.

I had a question about the air vents in the rear panel, yours seems to be covered, are these causing any issues?

 

[Pfilg]

My Hilux doesn't have air vents on the rear panel. I honestly don't see the point of them being there...if it were me, I'd just blank them out.

 

[DoubleCrown]

You need to keep the vents unobstructed, it is allows the air pressure to equalise when you slam the door

Then I'm not sure what keeps the air pressure equalized when I shut my doors since I don't have the vents.

I think you have a pre 2015 model, so your air relief vents will be somewhere else

I think your next step may be considering a DSP, but I like your set up. Jellous of the frogs lol. Are the tweeters pods the ones on eBay from Germany?

 

[Pfilg]

I know the pics aren't the greatest, but the six channel amp on the left is a DSP. Yes the pods and speaker rings are from Germany, I contacted him directly on WhatsApp from his website, but he does have the ebay site.

Yeah my car is one gen earlier, I stripped the entire car apart, didn't see any vents.

@1:40 there's a bit about the air vents.

I tried everything a subwoofer can't seem to fit in the rear 😔 I have the 2021 model.

Even audison apbx 10 won't fit. The only option seem to be apbx 8.

Have you considered the basser box I linked earlier? Hilux box
This should fit a 10TW3

I believe OP has the newer model which has a slightly different rear panel. This box won't fit as it was designed.

I have also seen this;

Toyota Hilux 2015 up Subwoofer add on Smooth and Warm pack - AV Concept Audio and Visual

There is no need to live without bass anymore. This 12 inch package to suit your Toyota Hilux is an ideal factory upgrade, and simple installation.

www.avconcept.com.au

It all says fits 2015 and above The above one even says for the 12-inch JL. I wonder how. My installer said he tried all options.

I am not sure if 2015 and above is all same space behind the seat or something changed in bwn.

This is where I got my sub and box. These guys do really good work and I know they have a 13tw5 for your model year Hilux.

 

[bonesb]

I just sent them an email. But the price they have posted on the website seems crazy. I just need the box.

 

[Pfilg]

Price is what it is. The box quality will speak for itself.
