NVX Boost Subwoofer upgrade - installed

[rballjunkie]

Great thread guys....placed an order for this kit. Q- did anyone add sound deadening mat while they had parts removed? See some reference to chasing down rattles but no mention of deadening mat. Kinda want to be one and done with the installation.

I did not. No rattles here

I had to chase down some rattles in the hatch and some new ones have started on select frequencies.

If you want to play it safe, add some to the side panels while they are out and some in the hatch, seem to be my trouble spots.

im stuck getting a signal to the LOC. the red wire on the factory harness is putting out 15.5V, not 12V. Newer tesla with Li-Ion battery. Is THIS a viable option? Buck converter? I didnt see the signal range in the literature.

viable

 

[rballjunkie]

Also, anyone have issues with the new battery voltage and using the NVX system? kind of worried about an update zapping the setup.

Guys…im having Nvx horror issues RN. Two boxes came damaged and both were opened and repackaged. Grills caved in and corners busted. I would highly suggest anyone thinking of ordering be very cautious.

Hey guys

I'm planning to use the Alpine MRV-M500 amplifier which has "speaker level input", i can just run the factory amp input wires directly to the Alpine amp without the need to use the LOC? Also for the amp remote turn on (input), I can feed the 12v power (red wire) from factory amp?

Here is my video, followed by the companies install video. Seriously, insanely easy to install and amazing quality. Any questions, let me know! Gladly asnwer!

Looks like a nice alternative to the NVX system if you want more plug and play. Would like to hear it.

A nice improvement would be mounting amplifier somewhere that takes up 0 usable space. Otherwise, well done.

One could easily install the amp out of the encasement and in the small truck area where most keep the mobile charger. For my needs, this works perfectly as the side cubbies tend to be collect alls for tools. This actually helps me. Ha!

@JaeTheDev nicely done. Is the stock amp is needed since you replace it with the aftermarket amp? Can we just remove the stock amp?

Thanks for the compliment!

The stock amp still powers the other speakers. It seems like the subs speaker wire then times into the new amp to catch a signal. So no, the stock amp still needs to remain.

This is how much I had to remove. You should be able to fish the wires through. Plus the back seat comes out. Super easy to pull the back seat.View attachment 855737

Is there a better area to put these? Feels / looks weird having it chill alone like that

That area is rarely used and it took me about a month to dial in the right crossover points, so it was nice to have the components accessible. Totally hidden when the panel is put back.

If you are amazing at tuning a system then you can get creative and put the components anywhere. Such as under the front seats, in the frunk, hidden in the dash, by the factory amp. You can get very creative.

My $.02, it is nice to have them accessible when needed vs pulling panels apart.

Have you had an issue where the factory amp is not turning on? My installer did a test of the system and it worked but for some reason the rear amp, sub, speakers are not turning on. Did a car reset and shutdown. Power to LOC not showing.

Anyone with any advice installing this system where factory amp not turning on?

Hmm, did you tap the power to it for the LOC? If so, maybe the power got cut to the factory amp by accident at the splice?

Yeah I got a pigtail Y harness that goes into the subwoofer box and we spliced that and it worked. A day later it stopped working. Once there was no sound he put back the oem harness and still nothing. No oem wires were cut / spliced. Seems like something directly related to the amp like a blown fuse but can’t figure it out.

I’d do a full shutdown of the car. There are instructions on YouTube for when you change your battery. Did you also check that the harness is fully seated?
