Junk In Her Trunk

[Mr_Chunkz]

Those of you who've heard this already know that this does the job.

New sounds setup in my TSX

Alpine 12" Type X ( 1000w rms, 3000w Peak )
Alpine PDX 1.1000 ( 1000wx1 @ 2 OHM )
Sound Ordnance Bass Bunker 12" Sub Box ( 1.85 Cu Ft, 38 Hz Ports )
Power Acoustik 2.0 Farad Capacitor
MTX RE-Q Active Line Out Converter + Bass Restoration Device ( interface for my factory Navi to Sub )
Dynamat Extreme Entire Trunk, Trunk lid Twice, and license plate.

All wires are Scosche EFX and/or Monster


Rolling mode


Install.... I wish that power wire was tucked better




New problem:

With 100 Lbs more equipment on board, my car sags in the back ( also from uneven pavement ) but look at that tire gap difference.
Time to get some adjustable suspension

I got about 100lbs of audio in the trunk of my car too and it sits the same way...but i don't have all that fancy sh*t you got lol. I got 2 type r's back there. How does that type x sound?

the Type X hits very loud inside this enclosure, with a bit more definition... it seems less "rumbly" than the type R in my solara.

why the type-X?and what are you running on the front end ?

im waiting to swap my system with the new pdx line and the new type-R subs..

I wanted a type X because for this system I wanted something with more wattage and sound than my old Type R + V12 Amp. Two subs was out of the question for me, as I use most of my trunk space, even this single box I requested to not be bolted down so that I could simply undo the terminals and slide the box out.

Right now the sub and amp are hooked into the Re-Q with just factory speakers. That, of course, will not be the case, but leveling out the suspension is a little more important than mids and highs right now.

Eliminating the factory radio was out of the question, since my touchscreen nav controls my HVAC... otherwise I would have gotten a good head unit.

All in all the sound is pretty damn brutal and produces enough SPL to bend my window, trunk and roof all at the same time, and I'll never play it that loud, so it works for me.

Sounds like a good combo.
