Replacing audio system for 2001+ (2 Viewers)

[West Hill]

I upgraded my 2000 Land Cruiser without Nav.

Kenwood Excelon DDX9905S
Install Dual USB Ports, speaker phone mic, antenna
Dynaudio Esotar 650.2 6 ½ inch mid-woofers
Dynaudio Esotec MD 102 tweeters
Custom Tweeter Pods for Esotec MD102
Acoustic Treatment
JL VX1000/5i, 5-channel Class D System Amplifier with integrated DSP
1&2 and 3&4 Bridged to drive mid-woofers, sub channel to drive sub.
ARC KS 125.4 Mini 4-channel Class G amplifier
Amp rack to stack amps so they fit under the passenger seat.
Bass Knob
JL Audio 12TW3-D4 shallow mount subwoofer driver in DIY enclosure

Full audio upgrade, speaker sizes?

Mount it over the wheel well where the current factory woofer is. At six inches thick It will be close to flush with the well. If you’re good with the wood You could build a wood platform that curves to the wheel well radius. Just trace with cardboard. Secure at the base

Here's a thread with a summary and pictures of what I did to my 2001 without nav.

Your Speakers & Why You Like Them - Morel's with Pics!

Picked up the Morel Maximo Ultra 602 components for the front and coax's for the back. Also picked up a Morel MPS 4.400 4 channel amp to drive them - still need an amp wiring kit for install. Also working on sound deadener - thinking Damplifier Pro or Roadkill Ultimate at this point...

I have an 01' non-nav with ML. Bought this kit Beat-Sonic SLA-100/82AAD - https://www.beatsonicusa.com/stereo/stereo-installation-kits/toyota-lexus/landcruiser-lx-470/1998-2002-landcruiser-lx470/beat-sonic-sla-100-82aad.html and kept all the factory speakers and sub. Just re-coned all the speakers. I'll eventually change them all out with aftermarket amps /speakers ..once I get the drivetrain and suspension up to snuff

Hey I’m about to tackle this project myself in my 02 without Nav. What else besides this kit did you end up needing to buy to complete the project? Seems pretty straight forward. Mine has the factory amp removed already so I know I’ll be needing an aftermarket one and possibly door speakers too.
