2014 Yaris 4 door factory radio replacement question
We just bought a 2014 Yaris 4-door, and it had the factory radio (see attached image).
I am not terribly pleased with the audio quality, and have been looking at aftermarket units. My dumb guy question is if I put in a replacement how much of an improvement can I expect in sound quality? I've been looking at units in the 200$+ range, but I'm not sure if I would need to have the speakers replaced, too. Thanks for any info/recommendations..... |

Normally not much
But if you replace with a unit with high adjustability features (multi band eq, internal crossovers, and other adjustability features) you'd be surprised. I have a kenwood excelon kdc-x990 and although very outdated, I was able to get better sound out of the stock speakers without using an amp... not that you would want to use an amp with the stock speakers anyway. I dont imagine they'd last very long if you did

You can keep the factory head unit and still get a more powerful sound.
This is the way... https://youtu.be/MJ2EO4Ma6p0 Clarion had an amplifier that has everything built in, just hook it up. https://www.google.com/search?q=clar...w=1280&bih=623 Finally, change the speakers when you can. You will need them to handle the power from the amplifier, and add a Subwoofer! Last edited by Niki Knuckles; 12-06-2019 at 12:06 PM. |
