Items installed:

Alpine IVA-D300
Alpine ere-g190 EQ
3 - US Acoustics USX-2150 450W X 1
Street wires Zero noise patch cables
Epic 150 bass restoration with built in SPL meter
3 - JL Audio 12W6 DVC

Installation Description

I wanted to create an installation that would leave me some trunk space. I decided to build a false floor that houses the three US Acoustic amps, hide away box for the Alpine IVA-D300, and all the wiring. Next I built a simple box that would house the 3 JL Audio 12W6's. Both enclosures were then wrapped with black vinyl. For more installation photos check out my website at www.uniqueaudio.net

Q&A Section

Why did you decide to upgrade your A/V system?
I wanted to do something that was worthy of showing off.

What's the first thing you show people about your installation?
The amp and speaker installation, since I did it myself.

Why did you choose these products?
US Acoustic amps are underrated and I have never had a problem with them. The JL subs are very loud. The only way to power a system like this is with an Alpine head unit.

What was the most difficult part of the installation?
I didn't find this installation difficult at all. I have been installing for quite some time.

What plans, if any, do you have for future upgrades?
I have 2 headrest monitors, and will be getting 2 more — I plan on installing all 4 monitors in the very near future.

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Listening Kit

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
