Open-Cardiologist-45 2026-01-30 02:49

With a little luck, someone will use that handicapped spot and extend their wheelchair ramp into that pretty red car.

Open-Cardiologist-45 2026-01-30 02:51

Business was closed

True_Baby 2026-01-30 02:53

What an odd thing to wish upon a stranger. I hope your day gets better :)

CStoEE 2026-01-30 02:53

Why did you take the photo at this angle?

Open-Cardiologist-45 2026-01-30 02:54

Why not

RScottyL 2026-01-30 02:54

Someone doesn't know how to park!

Open-Cardiologist-45 2026-01-30 02:55

Had to get close enough to charge business was closed buddy owns the business can park however I like under those circumstances

BuddyTheShihTzu 2026-01-30 02:56

Alpine makes a kit for Tesla, I put dual 10 jls

CStoEE 2026-01-30 02:56

It's crooked.

Open-Cardiologist-45 2026-01-30 02:57

Thank you someone that has an actual reply to what u was looking for instead of some stupid ass reply how much did it cost i was possibly looking for a 12' sub

Open-Cardiologist-45 2026-01-30 02:58

Good observation glad to see you have eyes

BuddyTheShihTzu 2026-01-30 03:02

I tried a high power 10 jl w3 with a 750 watt amp, car started throwing errors. Dual 10 jlw0 with a 500 watt amp stays stable. It was about a 1000$ with install. For 12s you will need an extra battery. dual 10s are loud enough, but won’t really shake the front seat, so for that I bought 2 woojer vest 4 for front seat. I love the results.

If you tap off the penthouse, those nuts aren’t reusable, be careful not to strip the bolt when installing the new one

Open-Cardiologist-45 2026-01-30 03:03

Woojer vest?

Open-Cardiologist-45 2026-01-30 03:05

Can you elaborate i was gonna have it professionaly done

BuddyTheShihTzu 2026-01-30 03:07

https://www.woojer.com/ they sell a seat attachment and power by usbc, but from the lighter as that provides more power. Look up LOC(line output converter) your gonna need one to turn the speaker wire signal into stereo the red and white cables. Then you will convert to regular 3.5 mm to plug into the woojer.

Open-Cardiologist-45 2026-01-30 03:09

I was trying to find a set up thats like the original one that goes in panel but im thinking differently after I seen this

Sad_Salad_3749 2026-01-30 03:10

Am I the only one who prefers the silver trim over black ( I have black)

BuddyTheShihTzu 2026-01-30 03:10

Skar audio makes one that will go in there, it’s a single 10

BuddyTheShihTzu 2026-01-30 03:11

Open-Cardiologist-45 2026-01-30 03:12

No sir I prefer silver honestly my buddy wrapped his trim black in his black on thought it was dumb

Open-Cardiologist-45 2026-01-30 03:13

If i do the dual it wont effect the rest of the speakers will it?

BuddyTheShihTzu 2026-01-30 03:15

Do you have premium sound? If not look up a speaker harness wire to turn on the front speakers or the dual subs will be too much. If you have premium audio then duals would match better

Open-Cardiologist-45 2026-01-30 03:19

I think i do cause it came with the subwooferin the trunk compartment

BuddyTheShihTzu 2026-01-30 03:19

Yeah you do then, so yeah dual ten would really add to the already premium system

Puzzled_Nothing_8794 2026-01-30 03:25

Hahaha I was thinking the same thing. Just waiting for a answer not how you took the picture lol.

Freezin_ 2026-01-30 03:27

My man needs to upgrade his charging cable length before upgrading the subs 😂 I read all the comments, but man thats funny.

Open-Cardiologist-45 2026-01-30 03:28

Why when i normally just use a super charger I just have that incase of emergencys

CIBALM 2026-01-30 03:28

The wall outlet charger barely draws power. Unless you were there for days or desperately needed 1-2% to make it to a supercharger, plugging it in like this was totally pointless.

Open-Cardiologist-45 2026-01-30 03:29

I was there helping him with his business all day got me a good charge till I left and hit a super charger

Freezin_ 2026-01-30 03:32

I'm just taking a piss. Think its hilarious that your up on the sidewalk in the photo, bumper to bollard, and not even in a parking spot. 😂

chimilinga 2026-01-30 03:34

2021 I installed an NVX stealth box 10" sub. It has worked great and adds nice punch at the lows.

AppropriateFunny7142 2026-01-30 03:44

Basically under the rear seat is the battery penthouse, power conversion unit etc. you can tap off the 12V line going from the PCS positive terminal to the front battery instead of running a wire all the way to the front of the car the terminal has a single use nut and trying to reinstall it can actually break that terminal, an expensive repair that requires opening the battery pack

Open-Cardiologist-45 2026-01-30 03:47

Oh bet ya ima just leave all that to the professionals and if they break it they can pay to fix it

alxkwl 2026-01-30 04:55

I just picked up a Alpine PSS-TSUB-T3A Is a 10" direct fitment to replace stock sub, comes with the box that fits over wheel well, amp and all wiring harnesses. They also make various replacement speakers specifically for the Tesla. I'll be installing the sub this weekend.

Present-Ad-9598 2026-01-30 06:07

Yk what, I like this context

Gold_Exchange_5588 2026-01-30 07:48

People over 6’ can not enjoy this car sadly anyone who is and says they do. Is lying to oneself. Your knees and back will remind you later. Been in a loaner for a week. Can’t wait to be back in my Y.

whitemiketyson 2026-01-30 11:38

So many comments and not a single period or comma from OP.

Open-Cardiologist-45 2026-01-30 14:34

I am 6'1 i enjoy it

scotsman1919 2026-01-30 14:41

And parking actually outwith the disabled parking space

Open-Cardiologist-45 2026-01-30 14:46

See previous replies you are late to the party do better English

TheMuffStufff 2026-01-30 15:17

I have an alpine kit I can sell that’s unopened, but you should probably take it to a pro audio shop to get installed - it’s not good out of the box. There’s a whole write up about it on Reddit somewhere.

Gold_Exchange_5588 2026-01-30 17:35

What was the reason you didn’t go with a Y? Affordability? Literally do not see the 3 being anything other than affordable. Not sleek not cool not even comfortable. Seriously I’m surprised you guys were okay with these lemons.

scotsman1919 2026-01-30 18:24

You were always going to get stick for posting a photo like that

Open-Cardiologist-45 2026-01-30 20:34

What tesla do you own i think model 3s are nice very reliable and very sleek

Gold_Exchange_5588 2026-01-30 21:07

Sorry don’t mean to sound so bad just don’t like the loaner they put my in I have a model Y long range and compared to the loaner it’s just incomparable

Upset_Ant2834 2026-01-30 21:30

Yeah that's some pretty important context lmao. Without it you just look like a total ass

Open-Cardiologist-45 2026-01-30 21:33

Ya i hear most loaners they put in arent the best to begin with

CJdawg_314 2026-01-31 00:47

Hey OP, I have a JL Audio W3 in a sealed box under the sub trunk area. Its running off a JL audio JD500/1. Using LC2i pro as my LOC. if ur going to get the LC2i make sure to get the pro. The non pro version has a steep roll off after 30hz. This amp has given me 0 issues. I've tried a more powerful amp but it makes the car freak sometimes. There are workarounds I just didn't want to go through with it. The JL setup cost be around $500. My buddy helped me build the box since he is handy with wood work. NVX and Skar make prefab enclosures for the side area if that interests you. If u want the wiring diagram to be able to do a more powerful amp lmk and I can PM you.

CJdawg_314 2026-01-31 00:50

this\^ The NVX NDA 1200.1 I tried out made my car freak a couple times. Had to disconnect my battery on and off to remedy. 500w seems to be within the cars comfort without any wiring modifications. Anything more than that and u need to do the resistors or whatever.

CJdawg_314 2026-01-31 00:51

use the penthouse, not the front battery

gre-0021 2026-01-31 02:55

Hell yeah, f*** that snarky comment

GalacticalAmbassador 2026-01-31 06:02

That's how my self driving parks sometimes

Some-Bite-5435 2026-01-31 20:01

2019 M3P 1500w skar amp with 2x 12 inch 600w rms skars Wiring is pretty easy Starting off of the positive terminal under the rear passenger seat Positive > 200amp inline fuse > 200amp battery isolator > 200 amp inline fuse > interstate battery > 150 amp inline fuse > amp, (in this order. Make sure to install the fuse coming from the cars battery terminal VERY LAST) Make sure the battery isolator is grounded, battery is grounded, and amp is grounded with solid connections, Find a solid 12v source for your remote wire. I had very little install experience before starting my install, I used multiple different articles and forums to piece together my own guide, along with some ChatGPT use. I’ve had everything installed for about 6 months with no issues. (I always recommend seeking professional help) But it is definitely something that could be done at home at your own risk.

All in all I’m about $500-$600 into this system.
