I am not familiar with the TSX so I cannot give you exact locations but run a power wire from the batter through the firewall (make sure you protect the wire where it goes through) to the amp. Fuse that wire no more than 12" from the battery. If you have a aftermarket head unit take that out and connect the RCA cables and remote cable to the head unit and run them to the trunk. If you have the factory head unit you will need to install a line out converter to obtain your remote and RCA outputs. Take up your back seat and use the seatbelt bolt for the ground wire. Ensure you sand down any painted areas. ALWAYS ensure the battery is disconnected. Again I am not familiar with the TSX so sorry for not going into more detail. I hope this helps you.

for car specific questions, it is often best to find a forum dedicated to your car make and model. usually there is a section that has a ton of documented how to's.

if you were driving a cavalier it would be a little different since many more people have exposure to installing in those as opposed to an acura TSX.

every car is different. getting through the firewall requires you inspect and look for a path. Honda/Acura are good at leaving empty grommets through the firewall - look for those above/around the steering column.

make sure to follow the installation instructions for the amp. make sure to fuse power wires within 18" of the battery. route the power wire clear of the engine or moving parts in the engine bay. be careful of screws and clips when you route it along the car floor.

i recommend against the seatbelt bolts - because putting a ring terminal in there means you have fewer bolt threads into the car and it isn't as tight. you don't want that to fail. drill a hole in the floor of the car, use a bolt, and sand away any metal. that way you get a good ground that does not affect the safety of the vehicle.

you can see the cars in Sound Domain Show Off or Team Sound Domain sections for very detailed pictures of how-to do things correctly. most people take shortcuts and make comprises, how good the install is depends on your dedication.

if you have a factory head unit and just want to add the Xplod amp and sub(s) then you need a line output converter (LOC) and a remote turn on signal. some LOC have an auto turn on/off feature and provide a remote turn on for you. Some factory head units have a remote turn on in/at the factory head unit.


in reality, paying a professional will probably save you time, money, and headache. if you want to learn, we're here to help. but you need to do your part - read, read, read. if you don't want to read up, then pay someone who knows what they are doing.

see the links in my sig for more information. and Welcome to Sound Domain!
