Has anyone installed or has an aftermarket deck in their 2001 tl. If so can you please post some pictures or tell me how you mounted the deck. I want to put a rockford rfx 9300 in my 2001 and i'm being told that there is no mounting kit that will fit my car. Just curious what other poeple have done

 

I'm getting mine done tomorrow. I'm putting in an Alpine CDA 7875.

There's not kit available now. My shop told me it would be available in January. But their just going to put in a plastic face plate for now.

 

thanx alot man, do u think you ill be able to put a picture up once u get it done?

 

To be honest, i don't think it will look that good once it's done. I have not been able to find a material that matches the interior very well.

Anyways, i don't have a digi camera, so it will be a while before i post a pic, but once i get it scanned, no problem, i post a pic.

 

ymckoon,

I forgot to tell you that your tweeters in the front doors sound really good.

I could have sworn that you can just mount it in the existing housing.. is it a double din HU you're getting?

Also, for the faceplate, have you thought about getting a wood grain one?? I believe some people have done this already and it looks pretty good.

 

I thought about getting the wood grain trim. I saw another TL on this board somewhere that had it done and it looked really good.

Unfortunately I don't have the skills to do it, and the shop I went to probably doesn't either Besides, it would cost more I'm sure, and I'm on a bit of a budget unfortunately.

The deck is a single DIN. I want a double din, but I have not found one that i liked, so i went with a single din.

It's getting installed as I type this. I just hope it turns out decent. I'm crossing my fingers.

 

just wanna show this.

 

What are with your floor mats yee? Are those truck mats?

Found someone to install it. They ordered me a piece of burlwood to custom cut the face plate out of. Prob gonna cost me a pretty penny but well worth it. looks nice Yee, i'll try to post a pic of mine when i get it done on saturday.

 

LOL! hahaha.... I grew up in Toronto... so I guess I'm used to the thick mats.... that's hella funny man!

but you know somin, that saved me big time once, someone spilled a whole cup of starbuck in my car, and guess what?! not a drop's on my carpet.

I got them from WeatherTech...

when you get the custom burlwood finished, can you tell us how much labor + materials cost to make the face plate?

Also post some pics please

My friend has a digi camera. I'm going to try to post my pic tomorrow night (i'm crossing my fingers here)

Yee, your stereo looks real good man. I like that trim the best out of all 3 that you had!

 

thanks man...
I really like it too...
but I'm thinking about getting another one... maybe white

 

They are tellin me it's gonna be between 175 and 200 for labor and parts and the custom burlwood faceplate. I will def post some pics when i get it done.

 

I do I do, Check my signature. let me scan it and I'll post it on the site tomorrow. No scanner here at home, have to do it at work

 

I HATE burlwood, why, oh why isn't my fake ebony burlwood just silver to match the dash? It's gonna be sooooo hard to do it myself , and I AIN'T gonna paint it.

 

 

yeah thats what my car used to look like

 

Looks great, but I still hate Burlwood, and by the way VICNYC_TL do we really need you to include the HUGE picture again with your quote?

 

Ron...what'z with that MAXIM? man...what were you doing in the car?

and the red light button on top...what'z with that?

 

I have that issue, it's got the chick from the Sopranos in it, and some other hottie's too, all of them are way better looking than any burlwood I've ever seen

Why do I get the impression that you don't like burlwood?

 

hey guys got my deck installed, looks great sounds great, i love it i will post a picture asap

 

do u guys know what kinda speakers are good for a 2001 tl, the deck is nice but i think i need to seriously consider changing my doors. any suggestions. Oh yeah what kinda amp do u guys suggest i'm a fan of rockford personally i'm thinkin a 400.4 but i'm open to suggestions. thanx

You can't really go wrong with good name brand speakers. When asking for suggestions, I assume you're asking for component speakers...

A lot of people on this board say Focals are nice. My bro has em and they're cool.

I have Boston Pros and I like them.

Best advice i can give is to listen to them at your local shop and choose the one that sounds the best. Good luck.

 

having a wood piece and having it painted black actually matches pretty damn well, at least mine did.

Damn streetz, 3 decks can fit in there?

 

1999TL - if you've noticed...Ron took out the CD storage bin to do that...

 

Streeteffectz (Ron) did my install. I dont got lots of $ like Vic, so i only have a single din h/u. heres some pics.\

 

How about speaker size what is gonna fit in a 2001 tl?

 

Just wondering what kind of finish you guys are putting on the burl wood to get it to match.

 

Email Ron (ron@streeteffectz.com i think) and he can tell you where he got the burlwood. he didnt coat it with anything, thats the way it came.

 

Do you know who is producing the kit? Where can i purchase one of these kits? Thanks.
