I searched and I couldn't find a thread dedicated to just the pics of systems. I really love to see what everyone has done and I'm trying to get ideas for mine as well.

 

Here's mine:

 

Here are a few shots of my setup....

stealth...

 

ron, that looks great. I guess you have no spare tire now? I'd like to have done something like that but I wanted to keep the spare, just in case.

I will probably make a beauty board to cover my amps one of these days.

How did you attach your sub? I used the backside tether hole to attach it but it's going to be a pain to remove if I need to.

 

here is mine, it works for me

It is a 12" kicker comp, and a MTX Amp all flush mounted behind a black carpet wrapped wall

 

Nice installs guys. I like the simple yet effective setups. I do admire the more dramatic and expensive setups but like I said, simple is the way I roll. This is what I'm thinking:

RF 360.2
Alpine PDX 400 & (2) 1000D's
Focal Utopia components front & rear
Haven't decided center channel yet
(2) Fi Audio Q12 DVC's in a sealed enclosure
Building a false floor with spare access and flush the amps down the center, the 360 on 1 side and the spare batt on the other.

 

sounds good, thats what im about simple and clean, plus i do it all myself so i try to keep it all cost effective

 

Ya I haven't decided if I want to do it anymore. I have buddies that own 2 different reputable shops around here so I might just take it to 1 of them and say have at it. I'm kinda tired of doing installs to be honest. But, I completely commend those that take the time and effort to do it. Their not always easy.

 

No kidding.. try doing the entire system, head unit and all.... whew..

 

yea haha i want to, but i dont have the balls or the money to sink into it yet

 

I know the feeling. The wife is dreading the day I actually go and get the system for the TL. I have been doing car audio since high school. I had 4 different systems in my Integra from balls to the wall SPL to total SQ. Just couldn't make up my mind. I want the TL looking and handling good though before I spend the $ on the stereo.

 

Here's mine

 

my destroyed set up, car was totaled
i'll be doing something similar if not sicker to my new whip.

 

Are you f'in kidding me. That setup looks awesome! Did you DIY? WOW...how much did you spend?

 

yep did it myself, https://acurazine.com/forums/technology-16/verizon-phone-folks-141629/
i was able to salvage the amps, cap, sound processor, sub, box, 2 7" monitors, yellow tops. im more likely gonna do 1 JL10" w6, and a smaller battery for the trunk, something not so heavy.

 

Mine is not nearly as elaborate as some of the above installs... but the components are quality, and the sound is amazing.

Rockford Fosgate T400-4 (4-Channel Amp) - driving Focal 165V component speakers (front doors and rear deck).

Rockford-Fosgate T400-2 (2-Channel Amp) - bridged mono driving two JL Audio W3 Series Subs (yes - they're 6.5" subs!)

Center channel is an Infiniti Kappa 3.5" and is running off the stock amp.

Stock sub is disconnected.



I built the sub enclosure out of MDF and fiberglass, so it fits perfectly into the back corner. It is sized properly for the two subs.



I built a false platform over top of the Navi DVD Player. It is hinged, so that I can still easily access the DVD player.
I also built a little storage cubby beside it, which is actually a separate piece, and is velcro'd to the trunk floor

Here is mine...

 

That is really clean bro. I love JL stuff.

 

I admire the simple setups to. That is clean yet effective. You can actually use your trunk.

 

Are you kidding me? 6.5"'s wang pretty good. I remember the older 8w0 trio box they offered. I'm actually using those same amps in my wife's MDX. A Punch 400.4 and a bd300.1. Driving Infinity Reference 6.5" separates in the front and 6.5" coaxials in the rear. JL 10w0-4 sub in a modified stock sub location.

 

1FastVtec, How did you get the amp to bolt securely to the side interior of the trunk? Did you use nuts and bolts, or just a screw? How well does it hold?

Where do you find the enclosures for the stealth sub?

 

thanks!

 

Not mine bud. Talk to the man in the post above this one. TLAdvanced is whos that is. I do know that Wicked CAS builds them http://www.wickedcas.com/home.php?cat=12

and also Uncald4 on the forums builds them.

Unfortunately, the only pic I have is in my avatar...I'll take some picks this weekend and post. There's an entire build thread somewhere on the site...

 

Here is the build thread...I am going to change the kicks soon so they are flow better with the interior, otherwise the system is done...

I used screws with speed nuts on the back. The box, Uncald4 is your man

 

nice setups guys. im finishing mine up this weekend. ill have pics up myself.

 

yeah man... like Tripnbeats said... Everyone's system look real DOPE... I'll post some pictures of my setup this week some time... (work has me blocked)

 

nice. i have image dynamics as well. not many people know about that company and they are quite comparable to JL Audio quality.

 

Man this thread makes me wanna do something clean to the trunk!

 

^^ I agree, mine are taking up a lot of space! I don't know what to do yet with mine.

 

Yep....I ran JL subs in my last few cars, but after hearing the ID and DLS subs...they just sound better to me. Had I known the IDMAX fit I might be running that instead of the IDQ....although I really didn't want another large amp. The only other thing I see is maybe a 3rd amp so I can run 3 way active

 

i got two 12 idmax d4's with a jl 1000/1 for each of em. now i just gotta get them installed hehe

 

I forget what you are running, do you have a four channel running the front stage active? I've got the dc650.6 running a 3 way active...I like it,but I've had leon tweaking the tuning...almost there

 

Just the dc1000.4 and dc500.1....originally I wanted the d3c50.2 for the tweets and a dc360.4 bridged for mids along with the dc500.1. maybe next year if it will all fit without raising the floor or taking away any more trunk space.

 

I had the dc100.4, dc650.6, and dc360.4...we couldn't figure out how to fit everything neatly in the trunk, so ended up the the dc1000.4 powering the two 10'' subs, and the dc650.6 powering a three way front stage. Are you going to the Sac meet next Saturday?

 

Now THAT is how you set up your sub. NICE install jptl04. I had a system in an older car with two 15" subs facing into the rear seat and I vented the fronts into the interior and blocked off the rest from the rear. You couldn't hold your eyeballs still, they rocked so hard.

I just don't understand all the subs in the back corner of the trunk. Do you realize how much cancelation is going on? not to mention all the padding in the trunk. It's lucky you hear much bass at all.

 

We don't have a lot more choices in sub placement in this car and still have trunk access. I am not looking for thunder or to rattle the neighbors 3 blocks away. I don't belive we can ever get the right feel by putting a sub in the trunk unless it is facing forward with nothing to block the sound waves. A sub facing rearwards would have the same cancellation problems...

Ideally, it'd be better to have this sub in the main cabin but..

I have a 10" in my truck, under the back seat behind the driver's seat and can feel that one very well.. I wish I could get one for my TL to give me the same feel as that one.

 

i dont know stew....ill send u a pic of my trunk and show u how i have the subs in place now. you have many choices as long as ur imagination isnt limited....i had 4 10" JL W6v2's until one blew and the box front was shaped like a W to fit all the subs in a maximum width of 30inches...... now i re-fiberglassed the front to give it a wavy appearance with 3 subs. its vented into the arm rest in the back seat and my music can be heard from about 4 blocks away. bass can be felt for about 30 feet in open space. the shop i do the work in is about 30'x80' it shook everything off the walls in the office =)
i have a music testing cd that starts and high bass lines and ends very very low at about 16hz.... and the windshield is flexing at that point.

 

I understand. A person will need to sacrifice space/spare tire etc to have booming bass. I was merely talking about keeping as much stock functionality as possible.

Obviously one could do as you have done. It all depends on what the person wants out of the system.

On that note, I'll bow out of this conversation and leave it for those that want to be heard blocks away or whatever they choose
