This is so refreshing to see someone filling in a TH-cam blackhole. No one had a good vid on replacing the subwoofer. Just bought all the speakers and doing the install this weekend. Thank you for finally giving clear instructions on how to replace the subwoofer.
Make sure after you apply the sound deadening on the bottom of the rear deck panel that you put the factory polyfill layer back on. Or you can get some foam to go over the deadening to prevent them rattling against each other. Its called decoupling the panels.
Glad I found your channel. My 05 sounds tingy and I believe the amp needs to be replaced. The wife's minivan hits harder and sounds better then my TL 😞
For everyone that's looking for the subwoofer adapter. Float through the website he has listed and you'll find it. Comes with the plate and plug adapter as well.
Just finished putting in the 5 channel amp kit from your shop. The sub needs a little more kick but overall the sound is great. Changed out the 6.5 with the subwoofer in the rear. Already got the front speakers on the way. The hardest part was taking out those damn seat screws under the headrest. The clips are scary too. Thought I broke all of them from the sound. But in the $300's cannot complain and this doesn't clutter up the trunk area.
Thank You 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 This is the video I was looking for, for the replacement sub until I install aftermarket amp. Now is the question of the rear door speakers that were non existent. 🤔
Great info man. Keep it up with the channel, I got a little gifted aftermarket subwoofer (with built-in Amp) Will probably be around your store to get it installed soon!
Interesting when I installed my pioneer nex double din I didn't have to do any of that. I didn't bypass the factory amp I basically tapped in for the aftermarket radio for just the subwoofer only and used the crossover from the radio and left the factory speakers and amp it basically ran like a component set up it was very clear and crisp bas came from a separate 8skar 900 down to 1ohm didn't even touch the factory sub
I installed a pioneer after market double din to my 2000 acura tl and a sub with amp. I make my connections with simple harness, and connected the sub directly to the back of the stereo with RCAs. all speakers sound fine, but there is nothing coming out of the sub, it is powering on, its just not working. Im using the aftermarket stereo to power the factory door speakers. any tips you could give me.. it seems that maybe my stereo is not recognizing the sub?? what do you think
thank you for this! i finally got the instructions i needed. and take your time speaking bro you sound super rushed, but please stop swallowing next to the camera its really hard to watch/listen to especially during important explanations or when it gets super quiet in the video.
Hello i have a 2020 toyota corolla LE. And I’ve been wanting to change all speakers because factory ones suck 😅 ALSO: I wanted to add some bass BUT did not want to compromise the trunk that’s when i noticed that the rear deck has ONE 8 inch cut out for either a speaker or sub ima assuming.. It would be nice to see a video where you start from scratch no existing factory sub on rear deck and no wiring.. that way i can DYI it at home.. is SKAR a good brand for speakers and subs?
I've watched the whole video from start to finish, and been re watching lots of little bits here and there. Just have a question: Because the 04 stock sub is 2 ohms, and the focal sub I want to put in is 4 ohms, does that cause an issue with the factory amp due to higher resistance? I'll end up replacing the amp eventually, or maybe upfront with the speakers, but yea just curious. thanks
Hey I have honda accord 2011 with facroey unit and amp+ aftermarket kicker 10 inch downfiring subwoofer but isn't beating as good. Would 5.1 chanel plug and play be compatible and if would make any difference?
Glad to have found your channel, WTG AAG. ---- I noticed you have quite a few 3G videos, do you have any plans for a few more 4G? I have a '12 TL base and will overhaul the stereo, replace the head w/Mehtra dash kit and Pio 4500NEX, Fdoors-JBL component 606's, dampen rear deck, replace fact sub w/KickerC - for mid bass- ***great VID BTW***, Rear - Eclipse Pt Source 6.5, add 8 or 10-Kicker CompVR- sealed .5-.75 box in the trunk-***watching your Vid next on the TL Sub install*** - F& R - running off 4x Alpine MVX v-12, 8 & 10 subs - Ph Gold ZX-450 - w/1 Farad Cap. Considering a sm. old Alpine 3522 - 35x2 - set to Mono to run the center channel. And am using new speaker wire throughout - Was going to use AudControl- LC8i for factory head and tap the signal but a friend said signal would be garbage and change it to new head unit (Pioneer or something equiv) - Ques - is there enough room where the factory 6 disc changer is now to accommodate the 4500 without cutting into the dash behind? And what wiring kit do you suggest to keep steering wheel controls? I'll be using the stereo mic provided and mount at the driver visor or map light? I scoured as much as poss on Acurazine and other UT vids, not much around for 4G, correct me if I'm wrong, any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks again great channel!!!
I have an standard 07 tl and I wish to upgrade my subwoofer. So far I've purchaced the subwoofer and the deadening mat. What all else do I need for the complete diy install? I have watched ur video I just want to be sure, thanks. I just need exact part numbers on the extra couple of things.
spare tire sub will handle more power, the limitation on the rear deck sub is the rattle. Unless you want to spend a day and 100+ on sound deadening material to ensure you take care of all the rattle spare tire sub is easier
our adapter doesn't fit the pioneer sub nicely (the holes will not line up) also the pioneer sub is dual 2ohm so its final impedance is either 4ohms or 1ohm and that won't work with the factory amplifier in the TL.
Trying to install some kickers in the front but they don’t match the screw wholes anyway that I could make them fit or should I just buy different ones? Any help is welcomed thank you
Take the factory adapter the white one, get some plastic filler fill the gaps in the front, let it dry and then mount your speaker on top you might have to cut the rear of the adapter out. If you don't want to to that you can use generic spacers. We are working on a install video for this. We don't currently know of any adapters that will work in the door.
Hey buddy I have a 2018 acura tlx with base radio mean not amplified Can you tell me what i need to add a amp for voices and base , im a honda tech so i know about wiring just want you to help me pick out stuff or sale it to me to so the job if your kind enough to share your knowledge....
This is tough it's going to come down to budget because the options are endless. There are some great budget brands then you have high end audio. It also matters how much bass/loud you want to go. For the DIYer we usually suggest a five channel like the kenwood kac-d8105
the t harness at the amp will let you keep the factory sub with the use of a y harness and it also gives you a remote out. If your talking about at the rear sub with an LOC there is a kicker piece that just needs ground and a speaker signal and will give you a remote out.

How that go big difference does it's sound nice and loud or did you upgrade and not go stock

won't hurt the factory amp but will cause the subwoofer to loose overall max volume.

that harness connector to put a sub amplifier would the factory sub still work or would you have to do something to turn it off?
also would there be a remote turn on their to be able to connect to the sub amp also or no
the t harness at the amp will let you keep the factory sub with the use of a y harness and it also gives you a remote out. If your talking about at the rear sub with an LOC there is a kicker piece that just needs ground and a speaker signal and will give you a remote out.
Need a good option with 4 ohms speakers more power basically
Is that harness connector sold with the kicker fit a Acura TL type s ? Direct plug and play?
yes if you have a 2004-06 Type S the connector will be plug and play.
