    My Audio Build - Installed Myself

    Pioneer Avic-8200NEX Arc Audio XDi850.5 amp located under the drivers seat. Focal PS165F speakers in the front and rear. Tweeters located in the dash. Rear tweeters were put in the doors close to the woofer. I made the front speaker mounts out of high density and abs plastic. JL 12TW3-D4...

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    Finished carpeting and installing my sub box that I built in the location of the third row passenger's feet would normally go. Fits like a glove and to JL Audio specs. 12TW3-D4

    Audio Upgrade?

    Sub fits perfect in the location between the 2nd and 3rd row, where the passenger's feet would normally go. Tight squeeze but it fits like a glove and to the exact specs of JL. Sub is a JL Audio 12TW3 dual voice coil running at 2ohms. Sub box is approximately .9 cubic foot and sealed. Just need...

    Audio Upgrade?

    Made my sub box per JL Audio's specs for my 12TW3-D4 Subwoofer. I added some bracing in all the corners. Debating on wrapping it in carpet or vinyl that'll match the interior upholstery. I'm installing it where the third row passenger's feet would normally go with the seat up. Since I have a car...

    can you run plastidip through an automatic carwash?

    No issues with my plastidipped rims and emblem up front going through automatic car washes and power washer for the days in the dirt. Have been going for over a year now with no issues.

    Audio Upgrade?

    I think you'd be more satisfied with skipping an after market sub and using that money on a better pair of 6x9s. Focus on the quality of sound on your "stage". If you already have a sub, I'd use these speakers and skip the 3.5s and buy a plug and play component set of speakers. These with a...

    Audio Upgrade?

    I did mount the tweeters in the stock location of the dash. The only reason I didn't mount coaxials in the rear is because of the deal I got on the speakers.

    Audio Upgrade?

    Thank you. The biggest challenge was running a complete rewire through the rear doors and then the front doors. 1: audiointensity.com and cartoys.com has the foam rings for sale. Cartoys.com also sells them on eBay.com so you can avoid paying taxes. 2. Most components have recommended...

    Audio Upgrade?

    Build is nearly completed Nearly completed my audio install. I just need to find time to build and install the box for my sub. Anybody ever install a sub box behind the middle row with one of the third row seats up? Since all I have are car seats in the back, including one in the third row, I...

    Audio Upgrade?

    Yeah, the LC7i is a good option for intragating an aftermarket amp and sub but you are limiting your sound quality because the stock HU is limited. The reason you need a sound processor is because there's no RCA output for subs in the Stock HU. If I were you, I'd use the money that'd you'd spend...

    Audio Upgrade?

    The front speakers are the only components 6x9, the rest are coaxials. Check out my door set up in my audio build if your interested in running components in the rear doors. Super simple modification. The only reason I ran components in the rear is because of the ridiculous good deal I got on...

    Audio Upgrade?

    I'm not a fan of JL audio speakers, but I do like thier subs. If your limited on the size of a sub box and you're wanting great SQ, look into the DD Audio 6.5" 1000 series sub. These sound AMAZING and pack a punch while only needing less than a cubic foot of air space for a ported box. Don't be...

    Audio Upgrade?

    I'm surprised on the amount of mid bass from my focal components and they are originally $500+ a set but I couldn't pass the price at $270. I think the amount of bass is based on how much work you put in dealing your doors and adding sound deadening material. I'm sure there are also great...
