Just to add unless your sub is doing some really impressive excursion. I don’t believe a kit would be needed. See some pics to show the spacing. With the sub being powered by an amp, I don’t get any rattle from the sub hitting the grill.
So, update. I’m still waiting on some stuff to clean up my amp install, but I was able to fit alpine type-r with a spacer. I used a wood spacer with the sides cut down and mounted the sub on top.
it’s an older model but it should fit I just don’t want to cut the box. I’m going to see if I can trim a spacer. You can see the difference in depth of the stock vs the type-r. I’ll keep you guys in the loop.
I like the stock look. I’m going to see if I can get away with a small trim ring without chopping up a speaker and the box. The box is relatively big and deep. Here are some pics of it outside the car.
Thanks! I was wondering if maybe a custom made mounting ring would be easier than needing to trim the box itself. Sounds like it might be a little tight.
Thanks, I tried that as well, but I don't necessarily love the rest of the sport mode+ options. I kind of like the tone without all the pops and bangs as well.
The options thing is what I miss. I'm going to probably put it back to normal. I do like however that it is louder without the need to go into the more aggressive tune in sport+ since that it the only way to keep it open. We'll see, still tinkering...
Tested and working so far, no CELs
Similar to FL5:
Step 1: you turn the car on (engine running) select whatever mode opens your exhaust valve. (I suggest you visually verify it's open).
Step 2: while the car is running you pull the fuse.
Step 3: Store fuse in fuse holder in the lid.
Step 4...
I could completely understand that especially early in the AM. I wonder how much of the noise is also influenced by the tune. It's a little throatier in comfort, but the sport, sport+ adds the pops and bangs.
I got this working. It is a little different from the CTR, but it works. Also, be aware that if the "engine" selection is not in sport/sport+ mode you will not get any pops or bangs as it seems that is tuning related.
The steps: you turn the car on (engine running) select whatever mode opens...
I'm in the same situation. Mine included all weather mats, tints, and wheel locks. The add-on/accessories were priced in line with Acura's site and the tint was less than what I have paid for in the past for tints installed outside of a dealership. So I was completely ok with the purchase since...
