Enabled the rear speakers and added Sub to my SR+

[Goodtohave]

The one thing that I wanted that my SR+ did not have was the premium audio.

Finally got around to adding a small amp and hooking up the rear shelf speakers (that are already there just non functional.

I also added a small Pioneer amplified Subwoofer.

Really happy with the results.

It is well documented on other forums so I won’t get into details here.

I have 2 clients who also want it so I will be adding it as a service to my Tesla clients .

If anyone in Montreal wants to hear how it sounds come by and I can show it to you (can you show sound lol)

How much would you charge for this? In GTA but may drive up for this.

I am still trying to figure that out, took me a while to do mine but I think after 1 or 2 more it will be a lot quicker, I am doing another for a friend in the next week or so , will keep you posted


Thanks

Where is this well documented? Any links?

Guide: Model 3 SR+ aftermarket to enable speakers and subwoofer upgrade install - Tesla Owners Online

The info is all there but it is not a step by step....

 

[Chetanh]

Did you enable the front tweeters too?

 

[Goodtohave]

No ....From what I have read the difference is minimal, may do it in future

 

[ATC@LWSK]

Interested to know more about this too.

No problem message me and I would be happy to do it, you can hang out while I do it and see how it’s done...

I have a shop, I do PPF tinting and remote starters so I work on cars all day

Thanks!

Very nice. Quick question, did you end up drawing power from the 12 Volt battery in the frunk or the dc connection under the rear seats?

 

[Goodtohave]

Under the rear seat...

Under the rear seat...

there are lots of posts around that making the car throw a bunch of errors. Keep us posted about your experience on that please.

 

[Goodtohave]

From what I saw it was mainly people wiring them incorrectly, especially to the battery, or large amplifiers.

I followed all the threads, I set mine up with 2 small amplifiers. I am running one fuse for them both and for fun I have a 5 amp fuse and no issues...so no worries about a current draw issue.

It has been close to -20C and I have been using the setup for a week no errors no issues.

Wanted to PM you but doesn't seem to work. I'd be interested in hearing how your upgraded audio sounds as I find the sound in the SR+ to be too "front focused". Obviously this isn't the best time to do this but would like to do it when things get back to normal. I'm also in Montreal so message me your info and let me know if you will still do it for others because I looked at the guide and understood nothing, thanks!

Been over 2 months now, working perfectly

What amp did you end up using for the rear shelf speakers?

 

[awww]

What amp did you end up using for the rear shelf speakers?

I'm working on mine right now, just waiting for some more posi-taps to come in so I can finish it. I chose the Alpine KTP-445u as the amp because it's small enough to hide.

 

[Goodtohave]

That’s what I am using, there is a ton of room under the side bolster bur nothing to attach it to, I already forget how I did it LOL

Hey - wondering if you can help me out here.
Where did you ground the amp? I'm thinking I have a grounding problem. I have static and hiss on the passenger side even with no input wired. Driver's side has no problem.

Thanks in advance!

The big bolt next to the 12v constant under the seat...

But Does not sound like a ground issue to me
