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 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.

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.

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!

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?

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

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?

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

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.

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!
