Thanks jp. Coming from you, that means a lot! as for the trunk lid... you called it right. There is so much pressure coming from the subs my trunk lid literally jumps off the body when it hits. Also, I seriously feel like my rear window is going to shatter. There's like an inch of excursion in the glass!


WDP = White Diamond Pearl. That's the color of my car. The paint in the trunk matches the exterior.


Thanks Steven. It's hard keeping up with the crazy modders on this site



Thanks Jason! Responses to your statements are in Red
In conclusion, I'm VERY happy with the way it looks and sounds. For what I paid, I would recommend this setup to anyone that wants serious sound with a moderate budget.

I'm adding some subtle accent lighting in a few inconspicuous places over the next few days, and my "video additions" are just about done. Picture thread coming soon.

I plan on entering her in the Seminole Hard Rock car show next Sunday. Wish me luck!

 

+1. But then how the hell do you get the box out!!!! Hah. (I ran into a very similar problem that halted my design).

Trew, very nice install. A little too much wdp fiberglass in the trunk for me, but it looks amazing. Is it sealed? I read another member's post saying it does sound great. That and looks are really the two important things that you seem to have accomplished. Great job.

 

resurecting from the dead..

 

damn Jason!!!!! hurry up and finish this thing you take forever
i want to see the finished product! i know it will sound awesome.

 

Lol. my install isnt as clean as most of the ones on here but I love the way it sounds.

2 X JL Audio 12w7 In custom box built to JL specs.
1 X JL Audio 1000/1v2

 

something that its in the progress, I havent been driving the tl as much as i though since my accord is up and running strong so im moving slow but this is what im working on. Its a 10w7 inverted low tune ported with a aero port up in the direction of the factory sub cut out. Sounds pretty nice just gotta finish the side panels and tune some more with the 3sixty.2. Still got the dealer tags but had to start on the system.



after the black suede was layed down the side panels will be the factory grey when im finished with a circle style contours



scrached the back of the sub so im gonna have to wet sand/polish

 

more progress

 

Hektik if you put more power to those W7's they will sound even better.

 

realized i never posted pics of my new set-up here, you guys have probably already seen it.







not the trunk but i gotta show off my visors

 

 

Hey JML...I saw this a couple years back on the Zapco forum, have always liked it. I think Bing may have contacted you about the sub enclosures, he said they were a lot more work then he anticipated when putting them in my car. The only think I don't like is the HU in the cupholders. The install looks great, I just use those things too much I've followed your work for a couple years, love your style and creativity, great stuff

 

I just got my trunk somewhat completed, but i can't post any pix until my account gets its credidations....If anyone knows of a way for me to post them now let me know...Thanx in advance.

 

just post them on photobucket and put the image code on here

 

 

 

 

I prefer Aux 1 over the ipod because i have over 25 gigs of music and the scrolling is much faster this way. Plus i get album art and i can still change tracks via the stereo and the steering wheel. by the way sorry for such large images, i tried to resize them but the didn't seem to want to shrink.

 

this is my solution for a Navigation TL. This actually works easier, and i can use it while on driving. I love the look of the navi, but the capabilities of garmin are far superior. Plus it's 3,000 cheaper.

 

I'm still working on the box for the best power without sacraficing trunk space. So far i have this. Two 500 RMS 12" Fosgate P3's for a total of 1000 RMS watts....now that's power!! The only problem is that i need a vented box to release it all into the car. But for now, it hits great.

 

I blame this thread for what im starting to do....

 

I have had bass in every car i have owned. when i got the TL, my first reaction was, "sh.., i can't change out the radio." But i knew i could still add bass. Well after seeing this page i realized that an aftermarket in dash is possible. So that is my next venture....that and a Four-channel amp. Speaking of which, is it just mine, or does everybody's Rear speakers sound very very low? I placed some Infinity's in their and it's still the same.

 

you wouldnt have any pics of the build would you i ..love this setup and want to build my own simalar how does the one sub sound

 

here is the thread on my first system i think there's some other pics in there. https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-audio-bluetooth-electronics-navigation-94/my-custom-audio-system-upgrade-w-3sixty-601144/

the car got totaled system destroyed, i liked it so much i designed and made another similar one for my 2nd TL here's that thread. https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-audio-bluetooth-electronics-navigation-94/my-custom-audio-video-upgrade-install-3sixty-2-a-724703/

 

thanks jptl05 i actually just threw my olb box that iv had for about four years now and its got a center port that lined up perfect with the passthrough hole . its got two 12 ich eclipse alluminums and a 2k watt amp sound pretty good but could use a good tuning ... i have no idea what im doing besides basic install ... i can build anything but as far as tuning i just adjust the dieal on the amp untill it sounds good to me i have know i dea what they actually do i just play with them lol any advice ill post some pics soon

 

crazyjr79...love the aux port in between the heated seat switches! I had the same idea to place my JL Audio cleansweep switch there. I wasn't sure if there would be enough room for the switch but your pic pretty much answers that question. Nice job!

 

Yeah i had to keep my wife in mind...she has a Zune....shhhhh!! don't tell anyone. i used to have a wire tucked inside my center console, but it got irritating when i'd open the door and it popped out like a clown's trick soda can. to re-assure your assumption, yes there is room back there, but it is very, very, narrow. In the back, the switches are a bit wider. Notice i am dead center? well that was no accident. it's nearly impossible to lean to any side without disturbing the seatwarmers. good luck on your venture.

 

Thanks for this thread...

I will post pics when mine is "dun up" was thinking of ideas...
I am afraid of raddles any one have or fix that prob yet?

 

 

Whats the best setup if i don't want to take up a lot of trunk space?

 

Wow that's just a beautiful thing right there...a beautiful thing.

 

bringin it back from the dead

_Jason

 

I love the JL as well but I am a Zapco fan!

Do you happen to have the template for going across the back of the car where the box is? Side to side? I am not very good at the cardboard thing. Thank you for any help you can give.

 

Sick set up!

 

Would you recommended alpine or jl

 

i have that exact same box, Ive always had the spakers face the trunk, does it sound better if they face the front?

never tried it, just went with what looked normal.

please let me know

 

I have re-done my setup a few times so here are the earliest to current:








Here is the Head Unit install:




And here is my most current trunk set up. I have a 12" Boston G5 in a custom ported box firing through the armrest, like many other guys on here, I just dont have any pictures of it. And i can still get to my spare
