update.. found it on the BM.. sent a PM to the guy =) thanks for the look out hopefully he still has it..

you have a crossover for your setup too right? is it a 3 channel? im thinking i may need to get one to block out some of the frequencies in the fronts and backs.. might run the 6x9s with the sub or not even you the 6x9s at all.. i havent decided that far yet

Im running a audiocontrol 6xs after a an audiocontrol EQL. The 6xs has 3 inputs and 4 outs. Very flexible if you plan on going more then one amp and messing with bandpassing signals and comes with a bass knob. Also has a built in line driver which ups the input voltage to 9v if i remember correctly. Almost all audiocontrol equipment accepts balanced inputs and outputs can be set to balanced or unbalanced out to suit whatever amps you plan on getting. Really good stuff if you want the best possible sound out of your stock unit.

i plan on doing a 4 channel for the front and rear.. then a mono for the sub since its a dvc 4ohm.. i know the MTX amps im looking at have built in crossovers.. i suppose i should see how they do before jumping into a true crossover setup.. i might just end up getting an EQ and calling it good.. too many decisions before the actual setup =)

EQ is a must with the stock unit. I was running with no eq for a month or so and the bass/treble adjustments just doesnt cut it when you bypass the stock amp. Decisions on equipment is hard. lol i sat on my amps for over a year before i even started my install.

Don't know about up here but when I got mine done, the dealership was full of cars and they got it done in two hours. I told them not to wash the car so that definitely helped with shorter turn around.

Box is too big to fit under the back seats. I could keep the sub if someone just wants the box.

It is the MTX TT65 10''. I dont remember exactly what I paid for it, so if you wanna do some research and can come up with a number let me know what you want to buy them for. I have a MTX amp as well but the fan makes a whine at start up for 15-20seconds so I wouldnt want it going out on ya, even though i never had a problem with it.

I forgot to mention I also have a trim panel for it that may fit in a TSX as well.

AVS visors put on last week. Looks good but not much functional being too much stealthy.

And everytime I go out take pics of FX, its damn cloudy. Sky matches the color of the car though

I like how they cover the rear 1/4 window. Most companies would have called it quits at the actual window.

thats one thing i really liked. gives more smooth look rather than bulging type of weathertech visors.
but being too close to the windows, air circulation is very minimal. and since they are stuck on with double sided tapes, will have to see how long they'll hold on without falling off on highways.

yeah coming across the rear window creates a much nicer line that matches the roof line better. Too bad Mugen doesn't make any for it.

We haven't been to the Newport Aquarium in quite a few years, maybe when the kids were still in elementary school. Those are good pics of the jellyfish. No pics of the sharks in the tunnel?
