Every so often, a vehicle needs a sonic makeover and a technological upgrade to stay in tune with the times. That's precisely what happened when this 2013 Toyota Highlander reached out to us, ready for a sound and connectivity transformation.
The Heart of the Overhaul
The centerpiece of this audio revolution was the Kenwood Excelon DDX6905S. This head unit brought more than just music to the Highlander; it introduced a world of modern connectivity. With Apple Carplay in the mix, this Toyota was now ready for the smartest journeys. But we didn't stop at the head unit; we wanted to elevate the audio experience, too.
A Symphony of Sound
For the front speakers, we introduced the Kenwood Excelon KFC-XP184C, while the rear got the Kenwood Excelon KFC-X174 treatment. These speakers were meticulously selected to deliver not only great sound but also a seamless, factory-fit appearance. With bracketry designed for perfection, they slotted into the doors effortlessly.
Elevating the Highs
As we dived into the details, it was time to tackle the high frequencies. We replaced the OEM dash speakers with new silk dome tweeters. These tweeters, carefully positioned even off-axis to reflect off the windshield, brought out the brilliance in high-frequency notes.
The Low-End Boost
No audio upgrade is complete without the low-end punch, and this Highlander was no exception. We decided to mount a KSC-PSW8 subwoofer under the driver's seat. Despite the tight fit due to the power seat motors, it worked like a charm. Under-seat subwoofers sometimes underwhelm, but this setup defied expectations. It was positioned close enough to the front doors, and the 7-inch midbass filled the gaps, creating a harmonious front stage.
Completing the Symphony
To ensure that every passenger enjoyed a great listening experience, we upgraded the rear doors with the Kenwood Excelon KFC-X174 speakers. Now, no matter where you sat in this Highlander, the sound was crystal clear and immersive.
