    I am also very interested but waiting for others to try it first. Can’t seem to see if it is as good for the 24 yet.

    I did upgrade to the beat sonic. I have a limited model.
    I thought it was worth the money, gave it extra bass and the sound quality got a lot better. All the speaker sounded more tight. There is one draw back to the upgrade.
    The poorly built taco has a lot of rattle in the door so you will have to put some sound deadening inside the door panel. Then you be very happy with $300 you spent.

    How difficult was the install? Was it difficult to get the plastic plate off?

    You should figure out your seats before you jack with your speakers.

    Car audio has to be a dying industry. EV and fully integrated tech with screens that control everything, those big ass digital dash displays that stretch from the driver side to passenger side Lincoln/GM I'm looking at you. Stellantis with their passenger dash didplay. I can't see many people wanting to throw an aftermarket amp into a 4G Taco.

    What did you set the front and rear gain controls at ?I just installed the Beat Sonic a couple days ago in my 2024 Offroad with JBL premium, set the front gain control at 1 o'clock and the rear at 12 o'clock with no vibrations or rattles.Beat Sonic suggested to set them both at 12 o'clock.I'm very impressed and happy with the sound just like yourself.I might install some sound deadening in the future but in the mean while,a very big improvement to the over all sound quality

    the system sucks....
    You dont need to replace the radio to get good sound....
    Audio industry isn't dying, & im not just talking about San Diego....
    Theres big custom chains all over the US that ill never see in San Diego...
    People still pay good money for entry level budget systems, to going all out...
    The DIY world is getting harder though, for some as things get complicated with these fancy head units, takes more work...
    Or you need to be young, broke, driven to get better sound so you have no choice but to DIY'it & learn....
    Some will do it right, others, not so much & will be a step backwards or not optimized, sound as good as it should for what the bought.
