or should I just ask how good is the 10 speaker stereo system? on a scale 1 to 10 how would you rate it?
I was quoted about 18-1900 for aftermarket leather with heated seats. The heated seat part was about 500 bucks..I'm planning on getting a limited but after what they told me what they would give for my 06 I might get the off road. I'm just wondering if anyones been able to tell a big difference between the limited 10 speakers and the offroads 6 speakers?? Also does anyone know an approximent value to switch the seat from cloth to leather and add heated seats?
Having come from a pretty good Boston setup in my last truck I would give the JBL a 5, maybe 6. The amp is tiny and under the front passengers seat, and the overall sound is good if youre used to factory radios. The controls leave much to be desired in the tweaking area. They only allow for trebel, mids and bass. And the degree of change is minimal at best.or should I just ask how good is the 10 speaker stereo system? on a scale 1 to 10 how would you rate it?
The JBL system in the Limited with Nav is a ten speaker with subwoofer and huge 440 watt, 8 channel amp thats that takes up the whole back seat floor under the "60" seat. It's a pretty good system and sounds great.Having come from a pretty good Boston setup in my last truck I would give the JBL a 5, maybe 6.

By "off road" are you refering to the SR5?I'm planning on getting a limited but after what they told me what they would give for my 06 I might get the off road.
The amp on my 07 Limited with JBL with out nav. is under my front passengers seat and measures 8"x6". Tiny compared to aftermarket amps even in the 200w catagory. The subs are under the rear seat and actually only take up about less than half the back seat, and the enclosure measure 26"x 10" at their widest points. Granted it sounds better than just about any other OEM system out there, the adjustments leave much to be desired, and the sound could be a bit cleaner. In the land of audiophiles, JBL is not a top notch system, but if you dont know any different it should sound great.The JBL system in the Limited with Nav is a ten speaker with subwoofer and huge 440 watt, 8 channel amp thats that takes up the whole back seat floor under the "60" seat.

Back in the 70's, early 80's JBL's were a top home and commercial speaker systems maker. My how times have changed.In the land of audiophiles, JBL is not a top notch system, but if you dont know any different it should sound great.
Not exactly sure what size they are, the enclosure is sealed up pretty good. Someone here probably knows. However it shouldnt be too hard to put a passive aftermarket sub back there. There are only 2 wires going to that enclosure, a blue and a white (+ and -), unplug it and plug in your passive sub. Unless you are bridging two subs together. I think I read somewhere that Bazooka is making the subs for these JBL systems. Dont quote me on that, I just recall seeing that somewhere.do you know what size the subs are? I love a good stereo I had the q-logic box and stelth box in my 06 ac, but recently unistalled them because I want to trade it in. would it be possible to switch out the subs with a better quality subwoofer like a jlaudio or something?
lol, youre not getting old Jim. Agreed, I'll take clean audio over loud distortion any day. Wattage is such a huge selling point for people that are turned on by big numbers. I hear alot of guys tell me their amps ar 1200w or higher. Your ears couldnt physically listen to that.Back in the 70's, early 80's JBL's were a top home and commercial speaker systems maker.

Yes, it sounds great for a "factory" car audio system. If you want top sounds you will have to go aftermarket.
Personally, I'm more into home audio and don't care for loud thumping cars.... getting old I guess.

That 440w could be rated at very high distortion levels. Car audio and home audio are rated very differently. You also have to take into consideration the impedance of the speakers, and their spl rating. You can take a 40 watt Punch amp and drive your eardrums mad with efficient speakers. You could also take a 1200 watt Bazooka PMiller amp and not move a JL Audio 13W7 in a sealed enclosure properly.You may need a larger aftermarket amp though. I find it hard to believe that that tiny amp is 440w.
