2020 4 Runner gets a full audio upgrade Installer Diaries full video 

The attention to detail is just top of the line!

thanks for making these lengthy videos. I spent pretty much all day this past Saturday sound deadening all four doors panels of my grand cherokee. Also prepping the doors speakers with metra harnesses (soldered, tesa taped & foamed), prepped my 6x9-6.5" speaker adapters, etc. Also got me thinking of ideas for my X802-5 location and nailing the fast ring installation. These playing in the background of my garage really kept me in the "install" mode!! 👍

Bout to have Best Buy do abounch of work on my car and I came to this channel to get reviews on the kicker key amps.. now I'm here 5 hours later neck deep in this rabbit hole.

Just watched again! What you guys do is a work of art! Your Perfessionalism is unmatched!

Hands down the BEST video/instruction for a 4Runner install. Gives me the confidence to attempt this myself.

That head unit is AWESOME!!! I didn't think I would like it at 1st but when I saw how you mounted it and it was still adjustable it grew on me. The extra care and detail you put into a customer's vehicle install is great to see. Putting those extra brackets on it when you didn't have to & then creating that awesome bracket for the type c cord was showing your shop has something that a lot of people lack these days and that my friend is INTEGRITY! I would 100% trust handing my keys over to this shop for an install & be super stoked about doing it. I have learned a lot of tips and tricks thru these videos over the years so thank you for the step-by-step stuff. A lot of people cringe at the cost of a "professional" install, but they don't understand or comprehend the level of knowledge and problem-solving skills it takes, especially on most vehicles because they require random mods and fabrications on the fly during the process. Super clean install though as usual guys. Keep up the good work & thanks for sharing your car audio knowledge with the community.

This is a great idea! Even though I watch each video when y'all upload I have gone back and watched it again in one piece! Great job as always guys!

i used to think i did installs well and with care - until i watched this video.. Definitely learned some awesome techniques and will employ them on next project.

Outstanding install...Man you guys have really grown even more with subscribers! Let go for a MIL. Congrats, well deserved

I was so impressed with your installation of all the products you showed us for this a Toyota forerunner. I had no idea how creative creative you could become and putting that thing in there like a factory install you guys are miracle workers I never been so impressed in my life good job was really a pleasure to watch that whole thing from beginning to the end have a great day.

You guys should set up a shop so we can buy 3D printed/laser cut pieces from you guys (brackets, adapters)

What a team - meticulous work and an amazing install. Very enjoyable to watch, learn…..and dream 😁 👍👍👍

Thank you sir, i used your videos to upgrade my 2013 jetta with a pioneer head unit / RR, all worked like a charm !

Great work guys! Wish you had a shop in Australia, my car would be perfect for your 911 videos. Not only was all the carpet not fitting the wires were unscrewed, scratches everywhere and they didnt eve bolt in the headunit. Love the professionalism you show!! Keep it up

Seriously great video! Job well done. Your attention to detail is phenomenal! Your video editing is on point.

I really really really wish you guys were located here. The level of detail into the install is amazing. Most shops here just swap it out, no foam or rattle killer. Just straight installed into the bare metal

Another great job guys!!!! Well done!

I wish you guys would have recorded the subwoofer installation

Thank you for this video! Was able to install most of the same components in my 4Runner with no snags thanks to this.

Nice work, you guys are awesome!!!!

Ton of great tips in this one! always appreciate you!

wow hard to find installers that take such care and thought in the install. this is what people should understand as professional installers. quality work guys. thanks for the vidoe👍

great video guys love the long vids....

wow! you guys know your stuff! top notch install/knowledge!!👍👍👍

Every toyota owner loves their toyota

I'm not gonna lie, I am going to be copying a lot of ideas from you guys when I build the system in my 4Runner. Fantastic attention to detail!

What a clean install!!!

25:07 I just installed the Sony XV8500 in 4Runner w JBL. I got it from Crutchfield w all the harnesses. I didn't have to connect the wires. It came with a harness that fit between the t-harness and the Sony HU.

Great .Nice work

Wow! You guys show so much care and detail to everything!!! If you guys charge $1,000,000 per install it's worth it!🤣

Wow man y’all are some real pros gear job

Amazing you guys

Fernando: for tight spots during sound treatment. Instead of the plastic spudger/panel tool, have you considered a "stitcher"? It's a skinny roller wheel, and the roller is textured or knurled instead of just smooth. Used in tire repair and installing rubber retainer for window screens.

Thanks.

Deans 2am rant 🤣🤣 go to bed it won't bite

Nice great job again.👍👍👍👍

I think I have gone crazy, I could swear I have seen this before.

Nice guys!

30:53 OMG! This is why nothing worked in my setup with component speakers who started their race from the door and then towards the dash...Such small details....😂

I really need you guys to do my 2018 Highlander

Just installed a lc7i w/kenwood xr901-5 in a 19' non jbl set up to power all the factory speakers and a 10" Skar sub and now I'm really considering going all out like you guys have done here. Not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing, lol! Awesome install and that HU really has me contemplating what's next. Added ds18 pro tweeters but going to give some 3.5" a try next in the dash.

I will pay for this kind of service. New sub

Was there mention of placing the punch sub in factory enclosure or was there a stand alone box?

Could you recommend a good installer in the general Denver CO area? love your show!!!

Beautiful install and it probably sounds even better. What would this cost me for a 5th gen Toyota 4Runner?

Got a 5th gen & boy u guys did a he'll of a job. If you do it do it right the 1st time.

I feel like the outer fast ring trimming tutorial was directed at me for ruining a $650 set of focal components and asking about it on one of these videos. An expensive lesson...

I like all speakers and radio with the sub,I have same truck what will it cost me

Do you have a total finished reveal video with sound test for the 4runner. We just bought a 2022 and I was wondering about upgrading the speakers and head unit.

Now I want one in my 4Runner when I buy it soon. That day drive down though LOL And yeah, you're not buying a 4Runner for the system. You're buying for the reliability and inexpensive repair costs. Plus the off road capabilities.

Would it be possible to show a list of all the parts you use in your builds?

Dean!!!! you of should convince the customer to put in a single din from a pawn shop ..like that Kia you guys did!!!...😀😃😄😁😆😅🤣😂

I have the factory enclosure in my non jbl 4runner. It would be interesting to see what they did for a panel to cover it up.... Maybe a follow up vid????

Do you use a memory saver that plugs into the obd2 port? Because i know on certain cars you can mess up the computer if it loses power.

How much a difference does it make to add deadening to the door panel? I am totally down with the door treatment itself, but the door panel as well? On my 07 Civic there is very little room between the door and the door panel. Also, I'm debating where to install my Audison AV1.1 tweets. I have read from some folks that say the factory mounting locations in the very corner of the dash will reflect too much off the windshield. The factory locations would make the install a lot easier, and I wouldn't have to custom fab tweeter mounts in the pillars. I can't be the only person to put aftermarket components in an 8th gen Honda Civic....Anybody have any thoughts? TIA

If u guys were closer I'd have you do all three of my vehicles

Where is the subwoofer? Did it fit in the factory location? Did you have to purchase any parts to allow for installation in factory location on a vehicle that did not come with a subwoofer to start?

Can I install a JLAudio 10TW3-D4 to replaced the factory JBL subwoofer? Amp will be added as well. Thanks for your advice

Hey guys, since you are working on a Toyota I was just looking around on Metra for my Camry and noticed that they now have a harness for the 4 pin dash speaker, I looked long and far a few years ago when I first got the car to find something when I swapped speakers.

I need to add a subwoofer to my stereo in my Pontoon boat. I have the new Fusion RA770 head and 4 speakers. I’m wondering if I should just buy a powered sub and place it in the console? The console has an access door unlike Tracker boats where their consoles just have an opening with no door I’m wondering if I can just put the sub in there and close the door? Would enough sound get out to sound good? Sort of the same concept as putting a speaker box in a car trunk. Anybody have any knowledge or ideas on this? Thanks

What do you do about the factory bluetooh microphone? Or do you have to use the one for the radio?

Can you tell me what you did with the other 2 speaker wires on the dash speakers? That's one of the final steps of my install I'm trying to figure out.

Greetings I want to install pioneer sea-835 tab in kia sorento sx 14 is the most complete integration system that I should use to the guidance and navigation functions ???

How thick, tacky, gooey is the material for which the vapour barrier is attached to? Mine is like Albertan tar sands thick.

i wish they would've opted for a custom box for the p3..

Kenwood has the best floating screen out there, what is he talking about?

Great install. For the seat position, couldn't you just use the preset button on the power seats to save the original position? You wouldn't have to measure that way. Also does the amp mounting plate being under just the rear of the rails change the angle of the seat? Do you add anything under the front to level it out or is that not needed?

can u guys do a chevy malibu 2020 radio install please? maybe u already do. it's says it's not recommended to put a new radio in that car, I just want to know why really. please help

How were the cargo door speakers powered?

What's a good amp for a set of p1s4 speakers for a semi truck?

Can anyone point me in the direction of those tiny butt connectors Dean uses to cap off unused wires? I’ve looked EVERYWHERE for them. Cannot find them and would love to add this to my arsenal of install steps.,

How can I get that specific sound treatment?

What was the total cost for that set up

What is the typical installation cost for a full system like this? I know the components can vary greatly, but just curious on labor and installation parts only.

if this video had only been available in 2011 when I bought my 4runner, so much pain and suffering could have been saved. the way Toyota wires their stereos is less than ideal. I wonder if the 2020 model has the "party mode" button.

Dem Kentucky Fried Chicken speakers doe!

I'm assuming the rear speakers are just for back fill hence the rear doors and tail gate didn't get sound treatment.

How much does a setup like this cost?

What did you do with the sub guys?

What brand speakers did you used?

What kind of loom do you use?

How long did this install take?

Did they combine the rear doors/rear hatch speakers wired together in parallel to put a 2 ohm load on rear channels of the Kenwood amp?

If your looking for a install on the newest Toyota audio system this ain't it. This is not a 2020+ 4 runner, looks like a 2019 based on the flashing. the new system has completely different connections. would love to get info on from anyone who has done an install with maestro controls on a 2021 4runner tho.

I'd would to have a radio radio that can play con junto musical real nice. I'm 53

Are you guys open for business?

Hi I have an alpine ilx-f309 unit wanted to know if there was a bracket for my toyota rav4

hey guys how are you connecting the 6 speakers to the amp?? of course not counting the bass

So the speaker wires from the amp goes to a harness to use the stock speaker wire after that? Is there a limitation on the amp size if using the stock wiring?

what that job cost to install

How much was this to do?

My new “ professionally” installed JVC car stereo works fine until somebody calls me on my cell. The radio simply powers off and I have to turn it back on. Lol Grrrr

Need to show how to wire speakers from amp

What did you guys use to adhere the water barrier back to the door after cutting the original sealant?

Speakers on the ceiling, speakers on the floor...loud music in cars.

What DSP would you recommend if I want to do same set up and keep original factory head unit?

🔥

sound deadening without heating? really? did you leave the holes open on the surface? foam tunnel INSIDE the door?rear doors no sound deadening at all? fuse location I just don't like, but... it's crap, guys

Honestly? would have tried to put the pocket on top and mount the screen further down but that's just me lmao. great job either way.

How much did this install cost ? Where is your business located ?
