Honda CR-V 2018 Subwoofer + Amp Install, Speaker Upgrade, Sound Deadening

Ultra high quality aftermarket speakers were upgraded into a 2018 Honda CR-V together with subwoofer and amplifier installation. A roll of sound deadening material were applied within the door panels to achieve a full-music immersion by eliminating rattles and vibrations that can cause unwanted cabin noise. Installation done at the customer's residence in Butuan City.

Focal Performance Access 165AS 2-way component speakers for front doors while Focal Performance Access 165AC coaxial speakers for the rear doors as well. Massive GTX 122 12 inch 750w RMS subwoofer in an L-ported stained plywood enclosure I have done a few months ago, and can be watched on this link -    • How to Make L-Port Plywood Subwoofer ...   is also put into the system. Subwoofer is powered and driven by Lightning Lab LLBA1500.1F 1500w RMS @ 1 Ohm full-bridge mono amplifier.

An active line output converter is installed within the headunit and tapped to the rear speaker channels for the subwoofer signal. High quality low resistance 5 meter RCA cable is used and tested using PAC TL-PTG2 speaker test tone generator.

Mini ANL fuse holder with a 150 ampere fuse is used in protecting the 4 gauge power cable. From now on, I will be using mini ANL fuses because they are compact and has higher build quality than any other fuse holders. Also they are super cool too.

I forgot to film the installation of subwoofer bass knob on the blank dashboard switch panels because it was getting dark and time is very limited but I managed to install the knob seamlessly on the blanking switch panel.
