I am honestly floored by how nice the speakers sound. It really makes me want to upgrade the rest of the sound system in the truck to match!

Everyone says the factory tweeters polarity is wired backwards. So these plug and play DS18 speakers are wired correctly when plugged in without modification?

Just put these into my 22 sr5 and they make such a huge difference for a small price! I'd never done any interior work before and this was super easy. I did snap a clip from the one vent/dash covers so that was annoying but otherwise no hiccups. Was totally worth it. Thanks for posting!

I just put these in my 2020 Tacoma and adjusted all of my sound levels and what a huge difference. Even my stock front door speaker sound better now. Still going to upgrade to the kicker door speakers though anyway.

I got the kicker style that was completely plug-in play and it made a huge difference. I would recommend that being the first upgrade you do your Soundsystem especially that it was only around $84.

Awesome, appreciate the video, I had the Kicker speakers ordered so ill just return them when they arrive today but the DS18's should arrive today as well luckily same day delivery (hopefully).

@brandonstewart4349 2 ай бұрын

Mine claimed same day delivery as well. Hopefully it went better for you. But, I had to order 3 separate times to get them from Amazon. For some reason, they just don’t like DS18 lol

Just installed the DS18 Tweeters in my 2021 Tacoma. I was pretty careful and took it slow. It was pretty easy thanks to the video. Took about an hour and had no issues. I was shocked on how good the DS18 tweeters made everything sound. Was going to also replace the front and back speakers but now I'm not sure if I even need to. What a difference.

Thank-you!--Great video. I just ordered a pair for my 23' Tacoma, along with a pair of Kicker door speakers...should be a good combo.

Did you have to buy a component set for the doors and just use the 6x9 and ditch the tweeter? Or are people pairing these ds18’s with coaxial speakers?

@Shadowdancer777 9 ай бұрын

I put ds18's 6.5 mids in my lexus. Man they sound much better than stock and even better than the alpines I had.

will this also work on for us 2nd gen guys, or do we need to do the thing where we have to switch the inner wires and then put these in please i have the set on amazon cart and ready to order

Thanks for your video. I think you said your Tacoma was a non jbl system? Mine is a jbl. What speakers will work best on mine? I want to replace tweeters and dc door speakers. Thank you for help

How do these compare with the kicker tweeters upgrade?

@ArthurDealba Жыл бұрын

I see you reference the non-JBL systems but how do these compare to the JBL Tweeters (sound-wise) in the Tacomas?

Hey I have the JBL equipped factory audio. Tweeters come with the 2 pin instead of 4. What are some alternative suggestions?

@Lopezfam210 Жыл бұрын

I'm glad I went with the ds18 instead of kicker on my 22 limited taco it sucks there's only 2 options that are plug and play but I mainly got these bc they were $80 and the kicker was i think $120 so to save money I got the ds18 and not disappointed I also replaced my rear 6.5 stocks with a set of infinity kappas and I love it I also have a PA speaker on the outside to play music along with my 15" wdx db drive sub next will be my front 6×9

The mounting holes on the speaker brackets are different on each side. Is there a wrong way to mount them? Will the factory have the same mounting holes? Where one is slightly oblong and the other circular?

Okok.. how did you get your alpha rex to do animation in orange then back to drl white? I thought is was either white animation white drl. Or orange animation orange drl???? 🤯🤯 I'm buying these ds18 forsure after this video. I have the alpha rex nova

@classicminidiy Жыл бұрын

Hey Cole! Always nice to talk to a fellow Cole. So to be honest those headlights were installed by Cali-raised LED as part of a giveaway I won. So I didnt configure them myself. That said I am sure there is are configuration instructions in the manual that say how to do it. If not it might be worth contacting alpharex directly.

Is there a sound quality difference between Kicker and DS18?

I’m curious too because I bought the kicker version and it’s a huge difference, but I don’t know how much different it is compared to that DS18

Did you disconnect the battery first? I don’t wanna mess up the side curtain airbag.

@classicminidiy 7 ай бұрын

I always do for sure but doing speaker work like this it’s pretty unlikely you would complete a circuit that would pop the airbags.

Can we get a sound test??

@davidlathem9665 Жыл бұрын

I see that these DS18 tweeters are 4 ohm online. The stock system is 2 ohm. Wouldn’t this pull power from your other speakers?

@anthonyharris6165 Жыл бұрын

Actually pulls less power

It looks like the Kicker may be a soft dome and a better tweeter than the DS18.

Question for you, what's your position on DS18 vs Kicker?

@classicminidiy Жыл бұрын

I actually have the kicker speakers throughout the rest of the truck and I have been super happy with them. No complaints. That said I would love to swap them out and try out the DS18 speakers in their place as a comparison one day. In relation to the tweeters though, the DS18 speakers outperform the kickers hands down!
