Best place I can think to get input on this is right here in the GR-Research community:
I have a 2020 Toyota Tundra and I want to keep the sound system as stock as possible while also doing a little to make the sound better. Basic question is this... could I expect to hear more detail and clarity from the stock dash 2.75" speakers if I change the 100 uF electrolytic capacitors with a decent quality poly type capacitors and would adding a bypass capacitor help the cause?
More details for those interested: The dash speakers are 2.75" paper cone speakers with a 100 uF garbage capacitor on the positive lead. They are 4 ohm and my calculations say the 100 uF capacitor is doing a simple roll off around 200 Hz. This particular vehicle has a center dash speaker (dual voice coil) that many folks on the Tundra forums suggest to disconnect. I disconnected it and that definitely helped improve LT/RT separation. Weird they put a "mono" speaker in the middle. Also, the door speakers in the stock design is essentially a woofer that rolls off around 300-400 Hz.
One thing I put some time into so far is applying sound dampening material to the doors. This made a big improvement to the overall sound and quietness of the ride. First time I have done this to a vehicle and I highly recommend it as a first step in any car sound improvements.
Much appreciation for sharing experience and thoughts to help.
Background: I have built X-LS Encores, NX-Studios, Desktop Minis, and several Parts Express kits and I have modded/rebuilt several crossovers and heard the difference quality components and bypass capacitors make. Many thanks to Danny, Hobbs, Ron - you guys have helped me to enjoy music and sound more than I could have without your "paying it forward" kindness.
