Installed Type-R's today

Slowly but sureley I am working on getting my system installed. Put my front door speakers in today. Next will be the coax's for the rear. i will also be ordering the jl stealthbox on monday.

 

Good job...I'm sure they will sound great. Do it yourself, Hell yea...

 

i was a car audio installer for the last 14 years. now i have moved on to working on yachts doing all the electronics installs on them. it has been a while and i am little rusty but it's coming together.

 

Looking good. What type and how much Dynamat did you order to do the doors?

 

i used the door kit which i had laying around. gives you 12sq. ft for about $80 retail. just enough to do the 2 front doors with a little left over. i need to get some more for the rear wall so when i put my stealthbox in i don't have any issues.

 

Is that the component set?

 

yes. i had them in my old car. i have them temporarily running off of my radio until i get time to install my 4 channel v12 amp this weekend.

 

do they sound good running through your stereo?

I'm looking at a type r set right now and i have questions

 

it is definitely an improvement especially in the high end over the stockers. i would not recommend powering them with the factory radio. an aftermarket one will be ok but to really get your money's worth out of them you will need to run them on an amp. i will hopefully be installing my 75w x 4 alpine amp this weekend. then they will really sing.
