toylocost Posted July 11, 2011 Report Posted July 11, 2011 OK guys! I am finally getting around to putting a stereo in this truck, one of the main reasons I chose to buy a 4runner over a Tacoma (the other reason was price). System plan (subject to change on my slightest whim) Source Sony HU (will upgrade later) --> Clarion 7-band EQ Front Stage Hybrid Audio Imangine I61-2 6.5" Component/Coax Set Rear Fill (maybe if i feel like it later) Pair of DD 5.25" Coaxs Subs A pair of AudioQue SDC2.5-10-D4 10" Now it will be a pair of Sundown Audio E-8 V.2s Later it will be a pair of Sundown Audio SA-8 V.2s Mids/Highs Amp I will be utilizing only the front 2 channels of my AQ 4x90. Now I will be using the front 2 channels of my Alpine PDX4.100. Sub amp An AQ1200D - 1200RMS X 1 @ 1OHM Here is the truck a few days after I bought it. Pics of the amps I picked up used. Only using the AQs for now. Open... Going to mount the 4x90 under the driver's seat and the 1200D in the side cubby in the cargo area here... 99 4runner - So far: Alpine PDX4.100 & AQ1200D. Needz speekrz yo.
toylocost Posted July 11, 2011 Author Report Posted July 11, 2011 First thing I wanted to get accomplished is mounting the 1200 in the cargo area cubby. So here is the inside of the cubby. Those 2 tabs will belts on them are for a factory emergency triangle that you had to buy extra from the parts department at Toyota when you bought the truck. I dont have one and I'm sure not many do. The tabs are pop riveted onto the plastic of the cubby. So I drilled the pop rivets out and removed the tabs. After that I could set the amp in at an angle and see what area needed to be trimmed. Cut lines marked... Ahh! A hole in my nice plastic... How the amp sits... It fit ok like that but I wanted more room so I made it bigger... Back... Then I made some MDF peices for the back to give the mounting screws something to hang onto. Also some thinner MDF spacers for the front to fill the gap where the tabs were in order to make the mounting surface flush. Wires are going to come from the tailight side of the cubby through holes straight into the side of the amp. But the RCA connections are on the other side of the amp so I had to come up with a clean way to get them in. I ended up notching out the filler peice underneath the amp so they come out directly under the connection location. Some clean up time and now I have an amp in a cubby hole! 99 4runner - So far: Alpine PDX4.100 & AQ1200D. Needz speekrz yo.
toylocost Posted July 11, 2011 Author Report Posted July 11, 2011 Next I need to make the hole I cut not look so nasty so I want to make a fiberglass cover for it. Getting prepped for laying glass... And then I was JUST about to lay the glass and I opened up my can of resin to find it solid as a rock. Well I guess thats it for tonight! Tomorrow I'll go to Lowes and get some more resin and acetone. 99 4runner - So far: Alpine PDX4.100 & AQ1200D. Needz speekrz yo.

toylocost Posted July 11, 2011 Author Report Posted July 11, 2011 Started with the fiberglassing this afternoon. Dont really like how it turned out, it was kinda hot and the resin was kicking faster than I wanted it to. Hopefully I will be able to save the piece. Dont really want to do it over again.
