    Another stereo thread...

    Thought I was a hardcore basshead and audiophile, but you got me beat. Nice system.

    NVX Boost Subwoofer upgrade - installed

    I am running the same setup as you. It could use a little more juice, and swapping the subs out helped, but I am sure more could be done. I fully back your exploring the limits of the Y’s electrical system. LOL! I do understand if you do want to push the limits with a powerful amp you can if...

    NVX Boost Subwoofer upgrade - installed

    Like to see someone try their 500/1 amp. As I remember they are not the most efficient which worries me. I also have a 1200/1 too, but figured I would be pushing it as far as throwing codes, so I am just sticking with the NVX kit amp. It’s too damn cold here in the NE to get stranded for my music!

    NVX Boost Subwoofer upgrade - installed

    One was a direct drop in, the other I had to modify slightly with my router. I guess different tolerances in the making of the enclosures? They sound to my ears considerably better than the NVX subs. As you mentioned I wish the amp had a slight bit more headroom for the two subs. Maybe in the...

    NVX Boost Subwoofer upgrade - installed

    I have done both the sub box and the NVX stealth box. Right now I have two stealth boxes instead, with these subs running at 1 ohm to get full power from the NVX amp. To tune the system you should get a multimeter. Search on YouTube as there are several good ways to tune. You should first make...

    Another subwoofer option - NVX Audio

    Thanks for the info. I had my finger on the order button to get the Audiocontrol LC 1 800 amp but just hesitant about the power draw. The AudioControl is supposed to be really efficient and has an LC2i built in so no need for a separate line level amp, an all in one amp. The unfortunate thing is...

    Another subwoofer option - NVX Audio

    How is your rd500/1? I have the VADM1 but I am looking to add my 12” Stereo Integrety sub which needs more power than the NVX amp can do, so I am looking at either a 500 Watt Audiocontrol or JL audio amp. I have an older JL HD 1200/1 but that is way overkill for the Tesla and would almost surely...

    Supercharging once weekly - no home charger

    I am in the same boat. I have to go to an SC about once a week. I cannot charge at home since I live in an Apt. Here is the thing we are the norm in the US since most people either live in a urban environment or even many in the burbs such as us and that includes some with houses, do not have...

    Should one charge each night, or only when needed?

    Unfortunately my only way to charge is an SC. I usually charge about once a week, depending on how far I have driven that week.

    Y Performace vs LR?

    You are going to get a lot of opinions on this and what’s best for you may be different that what was best for others. I can say in my situation the price delta was greater than it is now plus the whole wheel and tire thing got…..well tiresome. The fact that I would have just bought an new car...

    NVX Boost Subwoofer upgrade - installed

    The install took about 4-5 hours with tuning included. Also worth mentioning, uninstalling the Bio defense filter in order to get to the battery took me about 20 minutes. Right now I have my 12” sub in and using that. Looking for a replacement 10” sub for the stealthbox not too many good subs...

    NVX Boost Subwoofer upgrade - installed

    OK. Got the NVX setup and installed it. I think this setup sounds as good as it can with the limitations imposed. The fact that it is a stealth setup with limited room and that the amps have to be relatively low power as not to blow error codes. I think for most this is an great way to add a...

    Getting XM in Model Y

    Just looked all around the Y, not sure I would want an antenna hanging on the top rail nor at the on the hatch. I would do the 360L Tour, but many say it's buggy and slow to boot.

    APPALLING quality control; alignment!

    Well the exact thing happened to me. My steering wheel was off center. I noticed it the day of delivery. I made an appointment and two weeks later went to the SC. They fixed it while I waited, free of charge. My steering wheel is now straight, no issues.

    Getting XM in Model Y

    Where are you placing the magnetic antenna for the dock on the Model Y? It's all glass up top. Can you have a phone and the dock connected at the same time? There are time I would like to use my phone for navigation (prefer Google Maps or Waze to the Tesla Nav) and might want another device to...
