I have finally made all of the modifications to my 04 Anthracite TL i interest in making. Pic soon to follow once I figure out how to post them but here are some of the mods:

OEM A-Spec Underbody Kit
Chrome OEM Rims
2007 Type S rear lights and clear side markers

Alpine Iva-D901 DVD Headunit (connected optically)
Alpine TAU XM-T020 XM module
Alpine CHA-S634 6-disc CD changer
Alpine PXA-501 Processor
Two (2) sets Boston Z6 Speakers (Front-biamped and Rear)
Boston Pro 6 (Center)
Boston G5 12 inch subwoofer
Viper 931XV Alarm System

OptimaŽ Yellow Top Battery
Two (2) Tsunami 2-Farad Capacitor
Two (2) JL 300-2 amps (one for front Z6 woofers, one for Z6 rear)
One (1) JL 300-4 amp (front for front Z6 tweeterw, rear for rear Z6)
One (1) JL 500-1 powering the subwoofer

Amps and Subwoofer (fiberglass enclosure in wheel well) under false floor in trunk.

Inside of entire car from front door to trunk was disassemble for Dynamat.

I get the best of both world with my stereo system (quality and loudness). I'll wait for aftermarket navi (Northern VA needs to slow down on road construction).

Pics to follow.

I wish I can hear the sound quality... haven't really been in a car with such nice sets of system

brettallica

Impressive sound setup. I'd love to see those pics, since I know I'll never get to hear that. I bet that cost you a pretty penny.

How to post your favorite pics & Avatar???

jupitersolo

This will never happen, but most of the aftermarket one's, aren't they just a d/l away for updates?

Would love to see and hear this sucker!!

Brew0360

Entire cost was around $10,000. Doing one other mod, adding 2007 Type-
S gas and brake pedals. Special Order will arrive Monday. Will take pics once install is complete and car is totally clean. May need help with avartar and pics.

I forgot to add that I lost the Acura bluetooth capability when I when with the aftermarket system, but was able to add an aftermarket Motorola Voice Activated Car Kit IHF1000 that is integrated with my Alpine IVA-D901 DVD Head unit.

You should of just used the Rockford Fosgate 3Sixty.2 for your integration...

Everything sounds good though... can't wait to see pictures...

Brew0360

Used to be a big fan of Rockford. Currently sold on JL. Making amp changes would be an expensive endeavor due to the sheer number I would need.

triton3k

cant wait to see pics.

Knockz

I can't wait.... I'm only posting so I can get notified when the pics arive.. haha

Sounds like a wicked setup though.

brettallica

$10,000 for a stereo setup?!

Wow.

jazznut

Same here, can't wait to see the pictures. Should be an awesome sound system considering the amount of money you put in it.

All those mods and no pictures??? :P

WOW, that alpine headunit is wicked!!! my friend has the d310 but yours isnt touchscreen i dont think....i guess because of the high quality dpi pixels. congrats on your system, you must have spent a pretty penny or two on that setup.

i really would like to see pics especially the headunit.

Brew0360

Correct, mine isn't touchscreen. The iva-d901 is not being produced anymore and Alpine decided not to make a newer model. I guess 2 grand was to much for most to spend on a dvd player without navi.

Brew0360

Jupitersolo, if you are online monday night will you help me with my avatar and pics?

jupitersolo

Sure.

Brew0360

Jupitersolo, I'm in need of your help. I got the pics ready. Is there a limit as to how many I can post?

Brew0360

I took pics and have them ready in photobucket.com, but don't know how to transfer them over to be viewed. Can someone help me?

Thanks

Brew0360

I hope I did this right.

Brew0360

I can see the pics, but the descriptions did not show and the pics are rather small. How do I fix this?

reloaded

HAHA..you just click it and it becomes bigger.

BTW..OP..Nice Work. It'real clean.

jupitersolo

The descriptions you put on them when you uploaded to photobucket will not transfer. All the sites look for is the HTML code. You could write a description in between the code when typing the message.

I went to your photobucket webpage and took the IMG CODE, the 3rd selection under the picture and put it in the message. Make sure you put your photobucket account on private. It's under the options.

Take a look at the code for this message and look at the image code the [img]????? [/img] is all you need. Click the "quote button" and look at it. This is all you need to get your pictures up on the forum. How you have posted it is ok, all people have to do is click the image and it will expand.

By the way looks NICE!!

kreolo

WOW - I've been reading this post for couple days and finally I see the NICE work you done, congrats.


I wanted to see some of the interior pics (speakers)...


Again, congrats nice job and very clean....

Hype

hey man that looks great. i like the fact that you still got your trunk space available and i also like the stealth look when the mat is down

Brew0360

The speakers are where the factory speaker were. I send you pics of the TL tore down showing their placement.

Brew0360

I put the album as private. Is that what you meant?

05TLRIDER

Damn...looks like if you wanted to keep going you would have to get creative with mounting. Those amps with the sub look like they just barely fit the length of the trunk!

Looks good though. Question: Did you dynamat the floor and roof of the car too, or was it just the doors, trunk and rear deck? How much dynamat did it take?

jupitersolo

Yeah, now people won't be able to go in and use your album, unless you give them the password.

Brew0360

The amps and sub do go the entire length. There no more power I need to add. I'm 5.1 channel right now for movies and videos. I matted everything except the roof. Not sure but the dynamat ran me a good penny.

very nice

Brew0360

Jup, one more favor to ask, can you post a full length pic of the trunk with the entire cover but with out the lid on the sub?

jupitersolo

~OK, now I understand e-mail.

Brew0360

Thanks, If you ever need some electronic work done to you car, let me know. I'll put you in touch with my installer. He's the only one I trust with dismantling my TL and putting it back together.

jazznut

Great pics, nice and clean install. I wish I could afford one on my TL, too.

05TLRIDER

Sounds like you planned it well then. There are too many times when people put systems in that they think will be the best, but then realize that they want to add more, but have to redo the entire thing, which in my mind is a complete waste of time and money!!

That's a lot of mat! I'd be interested in finding out how much weight you added to the car with the mat and the whole system.

Brew0360

If i were to guess, i'd say i added over 200 pounds in the rear. In fact, I currently unable to align the rear due to the fact the the TL rear camber can not be adjusted. I'm going to add an aftermarket adjuster to correct my alignment problem. Total weight I say is over 250. My car isn't fast, nor am I getting maximum gas mileage, but at my age speed isn't important. I spend over an hour and a half commuting in the DC area so having an SQL TL was important to me.
