At this time we only have the Acura TL Plug and Play Amp. mobilemaxcaraudio.com/product/2004-2005-2006-2007-2008-acura-tl-pnp-amplifier-upgrade/ We are working on the TSX amp next hope to release it by Mid January.
Awesome. My factory amp was going bad so I replaced it with this plug and play amp. More powerful fits where the old amp was. Also upgraded the sub to 8" kicker. Much cheaper alternative than buying factory amp for $500. Highly recommend 👌 Thank you
getting the pack for the 6.5 rear and front soon got the sub and amp earlier thanks for all the work guys! Your the only ones really taking care of the Audio Acura community keep it going
I've seen your videos and visited your website and I see that you don't work on anything with the 2007 Acura RDX. Is it different from the other models of the brand? I want to improve the sound system of my Acura RDX because your amplifier was damaged and I don't know how to adapt one. I like the products you sell. Is it for using everything from the factory and that's what I'm looking for? Do you not have anything that kills the aforementioned vehicle?
Thanks for the video, greatly appreciate the installation tips. About the original amp that's in the passenger footwell -- does that drive all speakers including the sub? Or do you need a separate sub amp connected to the speaker line at the sub location?
Heyo, great video. I have plans to upgrade a lot of stuff (speakers, amp, subwoofer, stereo) in my 2010 MDX towards Christmas time, do you guys have any kits that could be compatible?
I’d like to keep my center dash as I just replaced the speakers. I assume my only option is to get the factory amp worked over. It is 16 years old so is there anything I can have done to the factory amp to maximize its potential?
Hey man I dig your channel but I just wanted to clarify a few things about objective audio qualities you did not mention to those of us who might not be veterans of the industry like you and I. You stated regarding speaker choices "You're not gonna want $30 dollar speakers. It won't be an upgrade to the factory system. if you're wanting do an upgrade, you're going to want to invest in quality equipment to get the job done." The above statement may have been true at one point. The fact of the matter is China is now not only capable of incredibly cheap production, but also remarkable quality. They also make probably 95% of the audio equipment manufactured and sold today. Optimal materials, acoustic specifications, and overall design in audio hasn't changed meaningfully in quite some time. Plus China has access to the entirety of the US patent library with no moral or legal obligation not to steal every ounce of intellectual property found there in order to profit wildly. Historically expensive brands are now owned by large, household names that have killed any semblance of the initial quality we've grown to expect, yet the price tags are frequently still indicative of the past quality. The corporations can get away with this because people don't know better. But why is all of this important? Well, because I did an experiment using the increasingly expensive amazon prime royalties and ordered a HUGE pile of 6.5in coaxial speakers to test in my wrx. I picked what I liked the most and returned the rest. I switched them out one after the other ranging from chinese rebranded walmart specials (15 dollars) all the way up to Alpine type R's and focals using the head-unit's amp AND a nice 4-channel 1600 watt amp. I was disappointed in almost everything from giants like Alpine, mb quartz, MTX, focal, and Sony. On the other hand, I was blown away by the 40 dollar kenwoods especially, the 40-dollar scosches, and the 30 dollar SKAR audios. In my tests, the cheapest speakers just sounded the best. The tweeters were less sibilant and aggressive. They responded the best from an EQ. They retained the most factory volume (best sensitivity). The only consistency I found with them is that they seemed to lack bass in comparison to the expensive brands. They also did not dramatically improve with an aftermarket amplifier. When paired with a rockghost spare tire sub, that caveat became completely invalidated. In the end, your ears are what matters. The mighty have surely fallen in the industry. I returned everything but the 40 dollar kenwoods, the 3rd cheapest speakers I bought. The ONLY reason for this was they fit perfectly into the holes. I honestly couldn't tell a ton of difference between them and the (too large) SKAR audios that cost a whopping 30 dollars. So I stuck w/ the Kenwoods. TLDR: Don't be fooled into thinking price will represent quality in every scenario, and definitely do not expect price to indicate sound quality in automotive audio.
So the Acura CL Type S 2007 I bought had Alpine 4-ohm door speakers installed in them is this going to be a problem with this amp setup. Great videos by the way
Just bought a 07 TSX and my buddy drove it back home on the e-way for about 50 mins after he got off the express he said it started making a ringing sound and when we got back home we saw that it was coming from the left door speaker.. do you think in this case it would be the speaker or the amp? Cause i was planning on replacing just the front door speakers but after watching this vid not sure id its just the speaker any advice is much appreciated!
Really interested in this product, but have very particular questions. Would it be possible to talk to someone on the phone to clarify questions, before purchasing? (Ready to purchase btw)
Informative and appreciated . I have an oldie but a goodie that i finally need to to swap due to the cassette and cd both taking a dive . 2000 tl with navigation and the bose system . I think i am going to have to go aftermarket with the radio and new speakers . Could you point me in the right direction to speakers and adapters that will fit the car as well as wiring solutions ? I am a retired auto body and paint shop owner and dismantleing i can handle .
2012 tl, I dont need sub sound. I need the radio louder. What do I have to do to have louder music. I have a 12 inch sub installed & its own amp installed. Sounds deeper but no volume increase. I need more volume. Is the radio shit ?
Hey bud! I’m wanting to replace my ‘17 mdx factory sub. Do you know if I can drop in a new sub into the factory box with a new amp? If so do you have the harness to tap the factory wiring?!
I believe that for this item I read on the website that we lose the center speaker. Do we also lose the tweeters? If not… Plans for my 08 TL: 5 Channel PNP Amplifier Upgrade w/ Kicker Sub Tweeter Speaker Harness Adapters Door Speaker Spacer Adapters w/ Speaker Harnesses Rear Speaker Adapter Spacers Kicker 42PSC652 x4 Kicker 46KST2504 x2
you only lose the center channel. You will keep the tweeters. To get the most out of the plug and play amplifier you want 2 ohm speakers. We have some listed on our site.
Do these plug and play amps work on the 4th generation 2009 Acura TL? I have a 4th gen TL and was considering this option as it's perfect for me. Thank you in advance.
Thanks for the great video. I have an 04 TL with stock radio that has buzzing sound coming off of it. Just to make sure I understood it correctly, 1. The 4 channel amp will only power the doors, so Sub woofer and center channel will be gone? 2. The 5 channel amp(without Kicker sub option) will power all the speakers and factory sub? Or do I need to add the Kicker sub to have the amp power it? Also with this option, the center channel will still be gone? Thanks again for the video.
How much is your plug & play amp for the 2005 Acura TL, my volume is not loud enough, I think it has went out & bad & would like to update. Please inform me, thanks
Just bought an 09 TL, I noticed the flux inverter on my factory radio turbocabubulator is out of sync. Do you recommend inverting the quantum induction singularity? Or install a new subwoofer? Thanks
We have an 07 mdx that has popping as soon as door is opened on cold days. And the speakers just pop and hiss until the car warms up then it’s fine. We’ve read this could be a faulty factory amp. These might be our solution.
Yeah any amps more than 7hrs old are due for a refresh. This sound is coming from the power circuit, caps are no longer holding that bump of power when it turns on and until it warms up. Or work takes care of those issues.
Hi! Is there any way in finding out if this will work with my 08 Honda Element? It runs a factory amplified 7 speaker setup. 4 door speakers, two tweeters and a sub and I’m assuming it would run the same amp as the Acura. Could be wrong but I’d love this as an easy setup.
We do not at this time. The bypass for the amp uses the same connectors but they are pinned differently. If you email us we might be able to put a custom package together for you.
@@MrCt302 I am not sure what you mean by all day use? But for standard listening sessions 2-3 hours we have tested it and had no issues pushing at max volume. Just have to make sure the gains are set correctly.
@@AcuraAudioGarage ok appreciate it.. Cause I have the phantom audio amp by jeese Kelly and I need more volume and bass... I will be doing business with y'all.. Thank u
@@AcuraAudioGarageis there any way to keep the center channel and also get it louder with more bass? or is there no amp currently on the market for that because I love having spatial audio as well as loud :/

What about the 2003-2007 Accord?
Wait does this fit in a 2010 tho or am I looking at a different kind of amp

Hey, i have an aftermarket amp for my 2 12’s in the trunk. Could I still run another aftermarket amp to boost my side door speakers or no?

Are these cars old enough for wire corrosion to be a problems when you swap amps and keep old wiring? Speaking mainly on tls
Do you guys make a plug and play amp like this for ford vehicles at all? Eventually I want to upgrade my factory amp since I have the B&O sound system
So the Acura CL Type S 2007 I bought had Alpine 4-ohm door speakers installed in them is this going to be a problem with this amp setup. Great videos by the way
I'll like to get my hand on the plug & play set up package for a 2010 acura tl with the tech pkg with navi. Anything for that year model?
you should post this up on the acura forums and acura TL facebook. 👍

Sorry about nitpicking but shouldn't the db test be done with the doors closed?
Really interested in this product, but have very particular questions. Would it be possible to talk to someone on the phone to clarify questions, before purchasing? (Ready to purchase btw)
Hey I need one of those plug n play amps...for my acura TL2012 but I don't know where is located the factory amp

Hey bud! I’m wanting to replace my ‘17 mdx factory sub. Do you know if I can drop in a new sub into the factory box with a new amp? If so do you have the harness to tap the factory wiring?!
Does a 2003 Acura TL come with an amplifier?
I believe that for this item I read on the website that we lose the center speaker. Do we also lose the tweeters? If not…
Plans for my 08 TL:
5 Channel PNP Amplifier Upgrade w/ Kicker Sub
Tweeter Speaker Harness Adapters
Door Speaker Spacer Adapters w/ Speaker Harnesses
Rear Speaker Adapter Spacers
Kicker 42PSC652 x4
Kicker 46KST2504 x2

i have no buzzing sounds just very low audio and bass from all speakers but the back door speakers are the worse. Base model 2005 Tl.
Why don't y'all sale the plug n play harness separate.?? I see the Amp bypass harness but not the plug in play harness
A plug and play harness would require harnesses that come with the amp that we cannot get.
What is the amp I need for the plug and play amp for a 2007 Acura mdx
Can you tell me how to get the factory amp to work with aftermarket radio in a 2003 tl

Will this work on a 2010 acura tl with tech?
Hi! Is there any way in finding out if this will work with my 08 Honda Element?
It runs a factory amplified 7 speaker setup. 4 door speakers, two tweeters and a sub
and I’m assuming it would run the same amp as the Acura. Could be wrong but I’d love this as an easy setup.
yes believe it or not the element and the acura tl share extremely similar sound systems. Its just the element has a dual voice coil sub.
Is there any options for the 2010 TL with nav ?
So yall have kits for a 2011 honda accord ex-l?....I changed the speakers and have a aftermarket radio and after a while 1 speak is only playing
We do not at this time. The bypass for the amp uses the same connectors but they are pinned differently. If you email us we might be able to put a custom package together for you.
By any chance would you happen to have something for the 2022 TLX type s
No sorry we haven't been able to get our hands on one to confirm what parts will fit.
