2024 Acura Integra type S sub replacement

[Baozzer]

Hmm I can’t find any difference between aspec tech and type s els. maybe post a clip of a song with time stamp and I can compare. I did it really fast total time less than an hour start to finish. I could have messed up the wiring lol. But I really don’t think so

Maybe the amp in the A-Spec is different.?

I'm about to go to a component system using Focal and a Jlaudio HD 900/5 when i get to my amp that's currently installed i'll post the specs.

Excited to see where you take this. I always wanted to run Focal speakers. Are you keeping the factory amp?

I will change the amp to the JL Audio HD900/5

Is the current amp 5 channels? I wasn't sure how it handled the roof speaker's and center speaker.

Any update? It looks like Palindrome will be supporting us. But their FK8 solution was $$

But even if we can upgrade the sub, the power can’t be upgraded so what’s the point? The sub OP posted I’ve seen videos of it bumping but of course with more wattage. I compared the upgraded sub to stock today and it may be a little bit better it’s hard to justify if it was worth nearly $200. I’m not mad at all I did it but for people may want to put this more towards the bottom of their wish list.

I was thinking that it is a much more efficient speaker so it sounds louder/ moves more air.

You do not find much of a difference?

Subwoofers need a dedicated amp. Also 300 watts rms would be the lowest to hear any difference but it's hard to push a 8 inch that hard. I think 10 inches would feel better. I wish there was a better way to mount a box in the trunk.

Stick it in the spare area.

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.

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.

Where do you plan on putting the amp?

It’s a small amp installed under the false floor in the hatch area

Hi! I’m new here and with an A-Spec Tech. Interested in upgrading the sub without doing a box or too many modifications. I see this post along with one for just the A-Spec, would the Rockford Fosgate work with the tech model too? Has anyone tried it yet? Thanks!!
