Hi all,
I am trying to gather some information for an audio upgrade for the Toyota Hyryder. Please let me know your thoughts.
I am looking for an amplifier with an inbuilt DSP (to minimize the overall footprint). Based on my research, I found a few of them but I don't know which one would be the right one. They seem to be within budget but not sure if they would be compatible with the OEM head unit of the car which I do not wish to change:
Is there any other model that I should consider?
Second, I would like to go for door-damping. Again, there are so many types of sheets based on brands and thickness levels. Which one should I pick? Any suggestions? Also, is a layer or two is sufficient?
Third, speaker setup. Currently, there are four speakers and two tweeters which is the default one. Hyryder does not have a subwoofer. And I don't want to disturb this setup. I love to hear music but don't want it loud. Clear vocals are good enough for me. So the question is if I can keep the speakers a little longer or should upgrade them? If yes, then what kind of speakers should I be looking for?
e.g. Focal ASE 165 or something similar.
Fourth, due to compromised boot space, I don't want to go for a subwoofer. Will that be a dealbreaker? If yes, what should be considered?
Update: I got some more updates talking to a few installers in my town. Here is an update on that.
Now both these speakers have 60W RMS with a peak of 120W. I am worried if the Alpine is even the right fit here.
Bottomline: The Alpine seems to be a good fit if the speaker RMS is not an issue. I am searching for answers to this one. Will keep everyone posted on what I find.
