Yes, it screws into the existing stock panel. The holes line up perfectly. All you will need is a wiring harness if you don't want to cut speaker wires.

I was thinking of installing an amplifier board in my 08 TL similar to this guy. I have two questions:
1. What kind of screws should I use to fasten the board securely to those metal support beams?
2. What kind of wood should I use?
3. Does anybody have a good template to use for the wood cutout?

I am selling my center channel Polk Audio DB351 speaker if anyone is interested. It fits perfectly into the center grill of the third gen TL's. All you need is a screwdriver. PM me if you are interested.

Tech... great job on the install, nice and clean but just like "stew" said your going to want to change the factory head unit..... Just makes the install feel complete!! (well for me it did)
Well I'm sure you have seen mine but here is a pic anyways, looks likes "stew" except for a few things....
But again great job!!

All I did was add Balanced Line Transmitter from the Stock Headunit to the aftermarket amps. It sounds great!! I've yet to see an aftermarket HU in a TL that looks decent and it won't outperform the stock with the right set-up...You'll get more by adding a Zapco DSP-6, Fosgate 3.2, or Audiosound Bit 1 ( I think that is what it is called)
Anyway, kudo's for doing all of that yourself. For a first time, it is a great start I'll be at the Huntington Beach Competition on Aug. 8th and yoou can hear for yourself

I completely disagree with the idea of swapping the stock headunit. I've recently started competing in Iasca events (2) with my stock unit and have won 2-1st place trophies and 1 - 3rd place overall against pros and manufacturers.

Did Bing install a BLT for you or was it a SLB-U (a balanced line driver / pre-amp)?
Thanks,

You had to call me on that...it is the slb-u. He took out the stock amp all together. no center channel or rear fill...I was thinking about a Bacon Lettuce and Tomato sandwich when I wrote the original post

Anyway thanks for the feedback; your system is one of the Bing systems that I'm drawing inspiration from.

I am currently running a DQL-8 off the post factory amp wires, the sound is good, but there is some hiss at low volume levels. Nothing too bad, but its there. Do you think I would have better results if I ran the DQL-8 off the pre-factory amp wires? Would I still get my navi-voice, etc?
