Like I said as long as they follow the proper shutdown procedure for the Tesla then it’s the same as any.But what if the shop has no experience with electric cars? Does it make a difference in the install?
I installed mine today, I did the "power off" with the trunk and multiple doors open... The App let me know I left the doors open after a bit, but I did not remove the ground wire as some have stated. I left it plugged in, but it was already fully charged.Like I said as long as they follow the proper shutdown procedure for the Tesla then it’s the same as any.

Good call, forgot to mention that in my postInstallation should be straight forward. If I can do it, and the local shop cannot, you should tell the owner of the shop to pivot to another industry lol
I would only use a shop if they've actually done the install before (i.e., practiced on some other car) or they've at a very minimum read through most of the threads most self-installers have read.But what if the shop has no experience with electric cars? Does it make a difference in the install?
Interesting, did you leave the stock sub connected? Sounds like a phase issue to meIn my fine tuning of this system, I actually unhooked one of the RCA's and had a lot more control/tuning. With both hooked up I constantly would distort the sub with barely any gain or bass boost. I've played with the xlca and amp for more time then I care to admit, but really it was by chance I found this "one off" (pun intended).
Finished putting everything back together today.
Yes as the stock sub puts out just about as much as this setup. I'm almost leaning towards maybe I got a bad sub. It moves a ton of air and definitely puts out more lows, but seriously isn't worth what I paid IMO. I wired the NVX out of phase as others recommended. With only one RCA obviously I'm cutting the input in half and can get just a bit more control out of it. As soon as I would start turning up the gain/bass with both RCAs hooked up, it would start sounding good, but then start popping/distorting the sub... Thinking about maybe switching out the sub for an Image Dynamics IDQ 10. The IDQ is about an inch deeper for mounting and I'd have to trim the cutout opening none of which I should even have to consider after just spending $700 on this setup. I will reach in out to NVX early next week for their thoughts... The sub ohm'd out right at 2.2 ohms so it could really just be the limitations of this $80 sub (which is what I fear)...Interesting, did you leave the stock sub connected?

They must have both back seats folded down, cause my kit does not perform like this.Found this short clip
Seems this sub can produce some mirror rattling bass.
I would try unplugging the stock sub harness just to try it that way, eliminating any possible phase issuesYes as the stock sub puts out just about as much as this setup.

LOL are you serious? I did hear some slapping noise when playing it loud but I assumed it was just reaching its limits. It's so bad if it really does it the grill. That's a lotta boost btw in your settings. Did you install the bass knob?OMG could it be this dumb?! The speaker grill cover is too small for the excursion. Plus mine had a dent in the bottom corner (thanks FedEx). So same setup only 1 RCA to the amp. XLCA tuned to where the maximize light barely ever flickers.
See photos of in car audio eq and video at the end for my amp settings. Now my license plate needs Dynamat... Can feel the bass and makes every mirror vibrate...I'm happy enough now to forego the IDQ sub for now...
Also appears we have very close to 6" of depth in the box.

Note the LPF is turned up to the angle shown, it is not turned all the way down...
I did not install the bass knob. I'll have to check, but my bass adjustment (on amp) might be almost all the way down.LOL are you serious?

My grill cover had a dent in it, probably from shipping. I believe the surround was hitting this, but also believe it could just be the case in the overall amount of excursion I see of the woofer itself. I think there are 3 hiccups in this setup. (1) the internal volume of the enclosure seems larger than 1 cubic foot (I did not do the test which is to take a 1x1x1 foot box fill it with styrofoam peanuts and dump it in, but by eyeballing it it's over 1 cubic foot -- Old installer trick FYI I'm old...). (2) This tiny Amp reminds me of the old Soundstream digital motorcycle line. Yeah it puts out, but it's a $100 amp. (3) The sub looks beefy, but I can make it pop and do dumb stuff when I get on the gain and or bass boost. Sure the XLCA puts out something crazy like 9v preouts so any amp is going to be driven... For me, only having 1 RCA hooked up allowed me a lot more fine tuning to the music I like (Rap, Techno, Rock, Country). At the end of the day for all the gear you get this is an okay system. Attached is the grill I removed.@m1xmstr,
I’m not understanding what you’re saying is the issue here? Are You saying with the speaker grill/cover on the cone hits the cover on movement? I.e. not enough depth for woofer throw? And that it works now only with the cover off to allow enough throw? That doesn’t make sense. If that’s the case did you contact NVX for explanation/comment?
