Touring speaker replacement woes and semi-success

[mitchie]

The stock sub seems to be an 8 inch sub.

I find that the bass rolloff coming from the OEM headunit was killing my after market sub that I just had installed last week so I had an Audiocontrol LC2i installed the the aftermarket amp and sub today. I left the stock amp and sub alone as is as I have been hearing that if I were to put a DSP in between the HU and stock amp I would potentially lose GPS and bluetooth connection due to everything tied together. The LC2i was able to fix the bass rolloff so now I can finally hear the lower frequencies as intended~

Are you still getting bass from the door speakers or just from the aftermarket sub? Reason for asking is i just got the lc2i and this is what i hope it does.

Also, I had posted this in a couple other threads. For those wanting to do a full HU replacement, this is likely what we are are waiting for:

Word is they are working on a solution for us. Best option now appears to be splicing the factory HU with some type of signal processing (which I'm also trying to avoid).

It’s 2018 now. They still don’t have anything.

Has anyone replaced their stock subwoofer in their ST hatch?
is it just me or that subwoofer just there to take up space?
I have my subwoofer level set all the way up and I cant hear a difference. I think I def need to go with a better subwoofer!
does anyone know the specs for it? it seems like a 6in sub to me just looks so tiny.
is it even possible to only replace the sub with out running new wires and adding an amp for it?

This is the one I put in my car; it's a direct replacement for the one in it. I also added an amp

Alpine MRV-M250 250W x 1 Subwoofer Amplifier
Still stuck with the Honda DSP; but the bass is much better.

Hey dude I have this exact amp and was thinking about swapping it with the sub you mentioned. Any thoughts on it after having it a few months? Also any insight on how you did it? Did you need a LOC or did you tap into the stock sub connection. Any insight or photos would be appreciated my friend!

It's 2020 now and the still don't have anything. I can't wait to dump this car for one that isn't a pain in the ass (replacing the head unit-wise).
