The door speakers weren't as big of a change as I was expecting, but I am keeping the factory system so I wasn't expecting an amazing improvement.

I also ended up adding a JBL BassPro 12 inch Subwoofer into my trunk. This was exactly what I felt like the audio was missing and I love it. It may not be the best subwoofer or the best sounding you can get, but I wanted a powered subwoofer to make it easier to install and not cost me an arm and a leg. I wired it into the factory subwoofer for signal and it's been working great. I think the biggest improvements you can do are the front dashboard speakers and a subwoofer for sure.

If you have any questions, let me know and I'll be happy to answer!

I have Infinity (Kappas I think) that I upgraded in my 4Runner over 15yrs ago that still run strong and sound nice. I was considering the Infinity Reference series this time but read a few “mediocre” reviews from CL users. Thanks for the feedback!

I'd also venture to say that it would be hard to go wrong with either, and many other brands for that matter. Once you remove the factory speakers, you'll see why lol.
