Let's see your Audio setup.
 

I've always been a connoisseur of car audio since I had my first car. Been through a hundred different setups, going everywhere from RF and Alpine to Memphis and JL. I've heard it all and even used to do sound competitions with my old Honda.
It's time to see what you guys have set up in the Rx8!


Lets format it like so:
subwoofer(s) name and size and if the box is sealed or ported
amp name and watt RMS @ "x" ohms
speaker name (if applicable)
headunit brand (if you have one)
Then any extra information or accessories you would like to include!
and a picture!


I'll start-
12" JL Audio W3v3 sealed box
JL Audio 250.1 amp @ 2ohms with Bass control knob
MB Quart speakers
stock headunit with AuxMod
This is my first JL setup and I can honestly say I don't think I will ever switch back to another brand. I've never had such a small amount of power produce this clean of a clean sound and deliver such a powerful punch . It's so clean and LOUD if I turn the bass up, I normally keep it at about 60%

Jl??????? Jonah Lomu???? I want to improve mine but am a complete beginner.

Here is my contribution to the thread!

Custom fit box from half price car audio in Springfield mo
2 12 inch alpine type s's new style
Jl audio 1200 watt amp
Sound quest power, ground and pre outs
Digital 2 farad cap
Stinger digital amp gauge custom location
Pioneer avic-x850bt nav unit
Cd-iv202navi cable kit/waiting on firmware to work
Pioneer Back up camera
Stock Bose components- I like the way they sound
PAC steering wheels controller

Pioneer has a lot of people pissed the hell off over this. And rightfully so. At this point, I think they're just going to string people along until everyone slowly moves on.

Pioneer has let me down with the x series in general

I hate pioneer. Sick setup though. I used to run dual type r's. loved em

can I play?

Two JLw6vs
4080 boxes
Kicker Class D 1200 watt amp
Infinity Kappa 6x9's
(2 pairs) Infinity Kappa 1" tweeters One set up front, and 2nd set for rear deck
Boss 2 Farad Capacitor
50 amp circuit (instead of a traditional fuse)
Soundgate LOCB.2 Bose Line Output Converter

Nice ^^ looks like its going to be a pretty beastly set up.

There's a setup I'd like to hear.

Wow that is extremely impressive! I would love to build shit like this when I had my old car. Such a rewarding project. I LOVE the Nexus in the dashboard. Do you mind me asking how you got that to work with the OE wiring harness?

It is mostly bypassed since all oem stereo components is removed.
I have the metra kit wich is providing power when ignition is turned on. This is connected to a relay wich is powering a usb 12v charger.

For audio i have connected a usb DAC wich has an tos optical output. Then a optical cable to the 6to8 dsp.


I also have a JoyCon Exr wich takes resisitive steering wheel control and convert the signal to a simulated programmable usb keyboard. This makes me able to control volum and previous/next track on the steering wheel.

Sorry for my grammar, english is not my native language.

Give me a pm if you're going to Norway, and i'll give you a demo :)

Wow that's amazing. Great job man. Well done.

Just finished mine a few weeks ago. Didn't go too crazy.

JL 10w1v3-2 sealed box soon to be a fiberglass box when I get a chance to make it.
Focal Access 165 6.5 components up front
Alpine Type R 6x9 in the rear deck
Pioneer AVH X5500BHS
Fosgate 600 5 channel @ 4 ohms
Sirius XM tuner
Steering wheel control adapter (can't remember which)
Already thinking of upgrading the amp (plan changed half through the build) and adding a second 10.
