2002 Acura Tl Type S Sound System Upgrade

Just finished upgrading the sound system in my car

Tweeters, MIds , Subs, New deck and a Rear View Camera.

Also upgraded the interior lights to LEDs

attention to details was provided by the one and only
Auto Accessories Connection (Calgary, Alberta) ** PM Me for Contact Number**

Striped down to the bones



Stock Deck



New deck android compatible, Bluetooth, Dvd, Navigation, USB, 3.5 mm Aux, Mixtrax, and remote


factory steering controls still work lots of hard work but well worth it


Rear view Camera


Stock speakers


Dynamat around mount


Custom mounts had to be made to accommodate the deep mids i wanted



New MB Quarts Speakers



Mounted awaiting the rest of the dynamat before closing


Tweeters in my doors



Tweeters in the back (these things were 4 lb each)


Wall had to be reinforced to accommodate the 52lb amp



In trunk MB Quarts Class A Amp to drive mids. 4 mids and tweeter controllers the whole web was replaced with zero oxygen cables


Zero Gauge Zero Oxygen Directional Power Cables Carrying the Juice I need terminal had to be upgraded


Power Distribution between the two amps


Clean Wires

Making of the face board to hide all wires and give it a clean look


Painted black




Subs With Separate amp and a boss 2k Capacitor all your sound systems make your lights blink i got more and mine are just fine alternator was also upgraded to give more juice


Cover to hide all wires


MTX Subs in place






Setting deck in


As you can notice all interior lighting is upgraded to LED






L Shaped Lights in the grill


Fog lights upgraded to LTDS

Cool... Looks like a clean install...
Tough that MB its ridiculously heavy for the power it delivers!!! My JX360/4 delivers more power @ 4 ohms (70w vs 60w) and the same at 2 ohms (90w x4) and only weights 20lbs... Perhaps being the MARINE edition of that MBQ makes it more heavy? 52 pounds its insane for a speaker amp but w/e..

And! Those tweeters aren't ideally installed under the arm rests.. Pulling your soundstage too low...

Nice job! How do the tweeters sound in that location in your doors? I've thought about putting some in the seat belt column or A pillar.

Forget tweeters too close to the ear (Seat Belt) its a recipe for disaster!! Use tweeters on:

A-Pillars:


Door Sails:

I see 3 issues....

1 lights in the grille
2 mtx subs
3 need better pics


Honestly to each there own, but the grille lights are out of place. Not to say you shouldn't do it. But it could be done vetter than just zip tieing lights to the grille :

Originally they were going to go in the A channel but my cousin wants the car next but hes not getting the sound system with it therefore i put the tweeters in the doors, its easier to hide appose to having big holes in the A Channel to conceal later.

1 Lights in the grill are bolted not zip tied. I just placed them there to see what they would look like..they have not been wired yet

2 MTX subs are just something i had kicking around i was thinking of the Pioneer Ts-W3002d4 12 Inch running at cross over with 2 Ohm but then i taught again. I have one of these in a Suburban and it pounds way to hard even for that truck so i settled for 2 10 inch MTX's

PS: Suburban sub is working at 35% of full potential.

3 Pictures are taking of my phone i can upload more later i just wanted feedback on what i have.

He could just get a new set of standalone tweeters to install in their place

If you relocate the tweeter It will sound wayyyy nicer.
