    Upgraded my amp and a few other things recently. Used to have a JL HD 900/5 which is a great amp. Upgraded to a JL VX 1000/5i which has been fantastic! Pretty much used the same mounting as the old set up with a few new tweaksIMG_6032.jpg

    I added some blue led lights to the amp and a door switch to turn them off when the seat is up

    Bluetooth dongle to access amp settings. There are no physical dials or knobs to tune the amp. LAN cable to a computer or Bluetooth to a device running JL TuN app. Took me a while to figure the app out

    JL DRC amp remote which I mounted in a factory switch cover. Inner dial is master volume, outer dial is sub volume

    JL power distribution block running battery power to the amp, cap, and LEDs

    One last thing to do is make some sort of cover to hide all the wires in the bottom of the amp.

    Thanks for looking!
