JL Audio MicroSub+ ACP112LG-TW1 w/ built in LC2i | 2018-2021 Accord 2.0t
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 3. 02. 2021
- I installed this JL Audio MicroSub+ ACP112LG-TW1 and it sounds pretty damn good. I purchased this to add some extra bass to the factory system. I wanted something that will hit nice without taking up lots of space. The all in one design is what really sold me on this and it's JL Audio, you really can't go wrong.

I'd HIGHLY recommend putting a rubber grommet where you ran the wire through the back seat area to the trunk. It WILL... and I repeat... It WILL cut through the wire and short to the car and can cause electrical damage to a myriad of electrical components in your car, or worse case, start a fire. PLEASE do that. I've had that wire short on me before. Vibrations from the sub and the car will make the metal a saw
Thanks for actually letting us HEAR the product sounds good!!
Absolutely clean and detailed video. Thank you for making !
Best video of this speaker yet. Good stuff. Gonna use this speaker in a '24 GMC Sierra because the Bose system is lackingâŒïž
BROTHER! Incredible install! đȘ CLEAN! âšđ„đđŻâš
Thanks!
Great video. One tip from a fellow 10th Gen Accord owner, if you want to see a significant improvement in bass response, tap the sound from the FRONT speakers. The Accord factory EQ SIGNIFICNT:Y reduces low frequency output for the rear speakers. I know it is MUCH easier to tap the rear speaker for the signal and that is what I did initially on my install of the Rockford Fosgate version of the "all in one". I was very disappointed with the sound and did a ton of research until I discovered the difference in the signal output between the front and rear speakers. I switched to tapping the signal from the front speakers and it makes a HUGE difference. You don't need to dial in nearly as much gain to get great sound.
Please trust me as I learned the hard way. If you love it now you will be blown away after the change.
I thought too do that as well but purchased the kicker key 500.1 and installed it and ran the 2 download tones too clean out the sig al and add the missing power and base and it worked!!! I'm so excited. I tapped into the rears as well. I guess the dsp built into the kicker key amp cleaned the signal and added the missing bass.
Dad's got a sub. Well done.
Sounds great thru headphones.
Great video!! thanks for sharing
I have the 12TW3 version and it bangs! The whole car shakes!
Yeah these compact jl subs are pretty awesome
@@DanVilla7 I've had the TW5v2 which was disappointing if I'm honest. The cheaper 12TW3 is on another level though
Very clean install! Props!
Great video man!
Thanks!
Thnx bro this video right here made take my sound in my accord a little far. Ho110-w6v3 and jd1000, rd400 amps, jl 650x in rear deck, c2 650 components in front doors and tweeters, dynamated all 4 doors, rear deck and trunk lid. I went overboard đ buts it's done nowđ€·đŸââïžđ€Ł thnx againâđœedit: sent the 10 back now have the 12 installed
Haha... Nice!
thats what im looking ti install in my next truck or suv something simple
Hits good for a small box. I've got a 12 inch alpine type r but need safe space
I am having the 10 inch installed tomorrow in my SUV. My first sub.
How do those 10 inches sound?
Awesome! Nice & clean. Love me some @jlaudio.
Thanks brother appreciate it! I actually did this like 7 months ago. I had to re-upload the video due to a copyright issue with the song I used. So had to do a little voice over when the audio was playing so it wasn't an original track anymore đ€Šââïž
@@DanVilla7 you ever try placing the sub towards the back of the car more? Obviously it takes up more space but i noticed that helped get the sound back into the cabin without dropping the seats. I'm about to cut the rear deck out and replace the plastic lid lol :D
I haven't tried it, I need my trunk space. My kids make my decisions for me hahah
@@touring189 man I'm running into the same issue here, I got the 10 in sub, same rms 400 watts but I am getting hardly any bass into the cabin, I am guessing it is due to the trunk insulation plus the seats have the thick carpet. have you find a solution? I have even consider the thought of placing the whole damn thing on top of the rear speakers deck and call it a day but It won't look pretty. and yes I have already disconnected the ANC Module and made sure both wires on both rear speakers are properly tapped. I need some help here please!
Exploring ideas for my 2021 Jeep Wrangler.
Would sound even better in an open space. Only bad part is everyone keeps telling me they are hard to find atm. You can try the company I purchased it from (link in description) but not sure if they have them in stock as well
Great video..
Beautiful man. I love a clean set up. Iâm gonna do the exact same thing if thatâs cool with you man.
Have you changed door speakers??
Thanks, I haven't changed them. I just added this sub and have been pretty happy with it.
Love my 4 got um in my trusted 1988 escort type Gt ive owned that car since brand new hittin a 132dbl
I own a tw1 10inch micro sub in truck sounds very clean not too loud just clean!
Are you happy you got it? Thinking about getting one
@@Nolando8284 yes micro sub tw1 with built in amplifier in my GMC Sierra bumps clean! Donât expect huge ground shaking bass but itâs very clean. If you have a trunk go with a 12 inch bumps harder. Jl is the best
@@garyseeseverything8615 what about, i have 2020 nissan murano? 10' or 12' .no truck just up back space
@@supermanfan0076989 go with a 12inch super tight and clean sound itâs a must if you love your music!
loving your channel just bought ne a 2021 2.0t in June and now doing some upgrades to it thank you!!! are you going to upgrade the door speakers!!! and and an amp i do hate the stock speakers
Once you take some bass off of them they will sound better. I'm still using the oem speakers with this sub and sounds pretty good. But yes of course there is some room for improvement with the oem speakers
Pro tip: you need to set the input sensitivity. You have it set at max! I can hear it clipping already.
Input Sensitivity Level Setting
Follow the steps below to adjust the input sensitivity of the amplifier to achieve overall system balance.
1) Turn off or set to center all processing (bass/ treble, loudness, EQ, etc.) on the source unit. Set the source unitâs fader control to center position and its subwoofer level control (if applicable) to 3â4 of maximum.
2) Turn the amplifierâs âInput Sensitivityâ control to the âMin.â position.
3) While playing a dynamic audio track, increase the head unit volume until the subwoofer output distorts. Then, reduce the volume by one step (or until the subwooferâs output is no longer distorted).
4) Increase the âInput Sensitivityâ until the subwoofer output is distorted.
5) Reduce the âInput Sensitivityâ slightly until the subwoofer output is no longer distorted.
6) Listen to the overall system and adjust the âInput Sensitivityâ downward if the subwoofer output requires attenuation to achieve the desired system balance.
I turned it down its at 3/4 now and hits harder than it did once it broke in. Camera couldn't pick up all the sound. But never did it break-up or distort. During that video
Typically the distortion is caused my the microphone clipping rather than the setup itself, videos are hard to determine though.
Hi Dan can you let me know what settings you have on the head unit.. Like where the bass mids and treble is set.. Thanks
Thank you for the video! Bought myself one and I was just wondering, where did you buy the hi/low connector?
Its built in
Did you change your door speakers ? If you didnât does the bass overpower the treble
How did you mount it? It hits harder while it's propped up instead of laying down
Greetings from Germany Dan! I am considering buying this subwoofer. The video helped me a lot. I think you can also feel the bass on your body?
Hey! Yes absolutely you can feel the bass. After breaking it in for a few weeks the sub hits even harder. I've had it a year and a half now and I'm very pleased and impressed with it.
Thank you for the Information!
looks good nice and clean, would that sub fit in the corner pockets towards the back of trunk? I have a small 10 incher in the left corner now, but I want to put 2- 12" subs in the corners.
Its definitely way too big for that
You get any rattles? And if so did you remove them? I put in 2 JL 12s from my old car and it sounds great but the rattles kinda kill me lol. Even with the bass down on certain songs the rattles are loud. Overall I'd still take the rattles over the no lows it came factory tho.
I do get some now but not bad at all. Only with certain bass frequencies. I haven't gotten around to addressing it
Me again with another question lol So I just listened to the factory system and the speakers are pretty bad. Seems like adding a sub would drown them out even more but your highs sound really clear. Did you upgrade your speakers as well?
I haven't changed the interior speakers. Once you take the bass off of them, they can handle the highs and mids better without distorting. Let the sub do 90% of the lows.
Thanks again! Iâm gonna order a sub now. Iâll bother you again on another topic eventually haha
I have a 2018 CRV with subs installed and my bass and mid settings are basically set to 0 while the treble is set alittle high. And my stock speakers sound clean añd the bass from the subwoofers compliment the interior speakers
Hey great video!!! So I was just gifted one of these and the subwoofer box alone, I didn't get any of those wires you attached. Did they come with it or do I have to get them separately? And if I do where can I purchase them? Thanks!!!
Thank you! The wiring kit mentioned in the video sold separately. I have a link in the description for it if you need.
Dam looks great wish I can find it for less price then 629 lol and also alot of companies have it out of stock
I got $100 off just by calling the company I put the description below. Give them a call and ask if they have any promotions or discounts available for it. Worked for me!
They are pricey but loved mine. 4 door Colorado and it bumped hard! People were impressed lol
I had the same set up when i bought my 19 accord sport.it was ok but i ended up changeing mine for all fosgate equipment. I know have a 12in P3 and its sounds 100x better brother just my opinion. But everyone has different sound preferences but I honestly love the fosgate so much better bro but great work bro.
Thank you! I did it with the intention of fixing what wasn't there while maintaining trunk space. As you can see I have 2 little ones and they have lost of stuff to take when we go out. Also the ability to instantly remove it was another selling point for me not to mention it sounds amazing for what it is.
I've been advised by a few audio install shops that for a proper installation I actually would require a line output converter (in this case the Audio control LC2i). Is it actually required or is it built in as you mentioned?
It's built in, all you need is the wire kit.
@@DanVilla7 I guess it depends on where you're pulling the power from. I think if you're pulling sound from built in subs it's required (according to Crutchfield).
@@lundonclark1221 still shouldn't matter. I tapped the rear speaker as per the video
@@lundonclark1221 All an LC2i allows you to do is take a amplified signal from a factory amp or head unit and turn to a useable signal to amplify. On this sub, It has a high level input and that is basically the same thing because you can set the input gain to bring it down to a useable signal for your amp.
So you don't need a lc2i if you are running pretty much any powered subwoofer box as most of them have high level inputs built into them. But if you are plugging into an after market amp that doesnt have a high level input. Thats when the Lc2i would come in handy
Depends on the amplifier used, His JL combo has a built in LOC which he connected that in the high input connector. If your amp does not have high inputs, then it is best to get those line output connectors to help improve adjust the speaker signal to an amp. So the shop telling you that it is better to have a LOC, well that is somewhat true. If the speaker signal is too high, LOC's will help to improve it and clean out the signal.
I just bought one for my 2014 single cab Chevy I hope it sounds good... what are the wires I need to hook it up to my truck ???
It will sound more than good! I put a link in the description for the wiring kit that I used.
Dumb question but Iâm new it this world is it ideal to point the subwoofer outward vs toward the driver ??
I have always found it sounds better facing away from the interior.
Do you have the 10 speaker system? Also did you disconnect the ANC doing this install?
The sport comes with an eight speaker system (no factory sub) Yes I did disconnect the ANC module
@@DanVilla7 Thank you and 1 more question where you put your ground wire itâs on an existing bolt. Did you sand that area at all or just installed it as is?
Here's a pic of where I grounded it
instagram.com/p/CCe-f3Snwga/?igshid=crtdjt2pb7qf
Hey was planning on getting this box aswell. Do you recommend getting a lc2i along with this? Or is it a waste
I has everything you need other than a wiring kit
So tap both back speakers? Do you know which wire color is pos and neg on the speakers thanks
Yes otherwise you will get a weak signal. I actually deleted the wiring guide. I just googled it and was able to find it
I looked it up for you
Rear left: Blue + / white -
Rear right: Yellow + / Brown -
I have all way around JL Audio in my 2019 stick shift I bought the amps JL Audio yesterday once get installed Iâll share the link with you
did you get the same subwoofer?
Yes all jl audio but I havenât finish yet I burned from the voice t to the sub one the amps lol
I burned one of the amps thatâs what Iâm mean lol
Damn man, it happens. I got the 10inch and I am not getting bass once I close the trunk. đ
@@sparco023 whaaat
If your car has a factory sound system can you still tap into the rear speakers?
Yes as mine is stock as well
Can you tap rear speakers in any newer vehicle? Or is this specific to accords.
It's not specific to acords at all.
it's there a switch or something behind the glover box that needs to be disabled? for hooking up a sub? and how does the JB4 work?
Yes it's call the ANC module. It's a harness, you need to unplug it .
@@DanVilla7 You wouldn't happen to have a video on how to do that Would you
No, but I think it time to make one.
I made the video for disconnecting the anc. It will be up later tonight
@@DanVilla7 Hey Dan are you on Facebook
You need to use rubber gromets where those wires run through the sheet metal. Youre going to burn your car down if they rub through and contact one another and short out
How long were your high level input wires because min is like 8 inches and I can't even tap into rear speakers
I used speaker wire from the wiring kit I purchased to hook up to the amps lci.
@@DanVilla7 I thought of that after I climbed out of the trunk all the blood must be rushing to my head đđ
@@fluticasone12 lol
what about, i have 2020 nissan murano? 10' or 12' .no truck just up back space
All depends on what your looking for. I would personally go with a 12 either way. I just prefer the sound better
@@DanVilla7 thankyou and what about the MHD-RLC
Water-Resistant Amplifier Remote Level Control? is it needed or better the have? Cant I just set the bass from factory radio?
I got the same sub but from where I can get a 4-pin High input cable?
It comes with it. Would have to contact the company you purchased it from or the manufacturer
Hey dude, Are you still running this setup and are you still happy with it? I have a 2018 2.0t and I am looking at the same JL setup. Im just doing my doors and rear deck this weekend.
I found a dude on youtube who took the audio signal from the disconnected factory sub, And you can still control the subwoofer volume with the infotainment screen which i thought was cool. so no need to install a bass knob,
Is youre velcro still holding up?
Yes still using it and very happy. I ended up having to use some more velcro but holds well
@@DanVilla7 Sweet thanks man
So no need to run a remote cable, amp automatically picks up signal from speakers? Nice
Yes exactly, makes life so much easier
I just ordered one, Iâm hoping it really bumps hard inside of the car, I donât really care how it sounds outside, I just want some deep lows
It's impressive for what it is that's for sure. Everyone who hears it feels the same way
Have you gotten it? Iâve had mine for a little over two months and feel underwhelmed from the bass. I also tapped into the rear speakers, maybe I should try tapping into the front.
@@Allhype214 make sure you grab both + wires and both - wires happened to me and the signal wasn't strong enough. I mentioned it in the video
@@Allhype214 ya honestly itâs small but it gives a good enough boom for me, with it turned all the way
@@DanVilla7 Hey Dan thanks for the reply! So I didnt tap directly into the wire itself I used a spade connector and connected it to the plug directly, which I think should cover both wires. I followed this guy as I did not have taps you recommended czcams.com/video/hVLYs9RreMg/video.html I did order some yesterday so ill try them out soon.
I was going to get the 12â model but holy smokes I think that will be too much judging from this. I like bass but I do not want my whole car to rattle. I basically want it a smidge just over feeling the impact but it will be going into a Ford Explorer. Thoughts?
Always better to go a little bigger and not use it then to go smaller and it'snot enough. At that point would be a waste of money. Go with the 12" Just my .02
@@DanVilla7 I did! Also went with a JL XD600 for the amp.
@Robert Breish it's an all in one already has an amp. You must have purchased a different 12" JL sub
@@DanVilla7 Yes I did. I wanted the amp to be separate because my Ford Explorer has some weird OEM stuff I need to work around so Iâm also using an LC2i Pro line out converter. Also heard amazing things about the XD amps and it should do a much better job extracting as much quality bass out of that 12â than the all in one solution. Not that thereâs anything wrong with those.
What do you have your settings set at for input sensitivity and for the low pass filter frequency
I have the sensitivity set around 3/4 and frequency aroud 90hz.
@@DanVilla7 Will I get a increase in the bass or do damage to my sub if I turn up the low pass frequency a bit more
@@is2fiftyslowfsport744 if it's distorting then lower it. It all depends on how much signal its getting. Your ears are the best way to keep it from blowing. It is a great sub and durable, I haven't had any issues with mine.
@@DanVilla7 So as long as I don't hear no destortion I should be ok if I turn up the low pass filter frequency right?
@@is2fiftyslowfsport744 pretty much. As long ss it's hitting clear your in the clear
do i have to use lc2i ? aslo can i connect the sub straight to the wires coming out of the amb ?
His video shows he tapped into the stock speakers into the JL high input level plugs which you do not need the loc system. You only use loc when the amp does not accept high speaker input or if the speaker line is not loud enough and the lĂłc help with signal improvement.
Good video bro... what size is the box?? I want it for f350
dimensions: 23-3/4"W x 15-3/4"H x 9-1/4"D
Hey dude, just tried installing mine today. Power to amp with solid green light but not getting any signal. I tapped my rears and each speaker has one positive and one negative on each side. I went into them with t-taps but not getting any sound.
Any ideas whatâs going on
Each speaker has 2 + and 2- wires. If you don't tap both of each the signal will be weak. Also check the levels on the back gain, frequency
@@DanVilla7 thanks for the reply bro! I actually got it working yesterday. Everything was fine with the install. I used a telephone wire for the bass remote and I guess that isnât compatible so when I unplugged it the sun went boom boom boom â€ïž
For what it is and how small it is, itâs pretty good! Now to address the rattling plate đ
Where did u get the quick connect from
It's part of the sub
Do you need a remote wire for this sub ?
You don't, it works with either a remote wire or speaker input your choice. I used the speaker input
I have this set up in my car. Unfortunately I blew my speaker. I'm having a hard time finding an affordable replacement speaker. JL will not repair the speaker. Can I put in any other speaker?...
Im sure you can as long as it somewhat matches the amps power and is slim. These are micro subs and have a very shallow design to save space.
I'm surprised to hear it blew.
@@DanVilla7 me too... but apparently you can't listen to it on full blast 24 hours a day... ??? I'm calling JL Monday. Maybe they can help me. I went to sound factory, a local car stereo installment business, but they weren't any help...
If you use anything at it's limit all the time the chances of failure are high. I would probably recommend getting a more powerful setup since you seem to need more sound that way you can run it at a safer level and prevent blowing it
So I went with the Rockford as it was cheaper. It def doesnât sound nearly as loud as it should be. All my connections are solid. Rather than tapping into the wires, I put spade connectors into the stock clips. I have it set on DC but when it is on signal it seems much louder. The problem is when I turn my car off, the sub still picks up signal and will just start going crazy and itâs way louder than when itâs actually playing music. Any idea what this could be? My ANC has been disconnected.
What did you use for the remote turn on?
On DC you donât have that noise?
Thank u did you do your highs to
I didn't, the balance is pretty good. I'm not saying the highs couldn't be better but as it is I'm pretty happy with it
@@DanVilla7 Iâm working on doing mine in few weeks I will let you know how hard it is. Going to add amp
@@truemopar ok cool thanks
How did you tap into the speakers?. How did u actually do the tap. A detailed explanation of this would be appreciated.
Thanks.
I used posi taps (link in the description) and and ran speaker wire to the amp. You can see how I made the connections in the video
You mentioned you changed and needed 2 of each. So do you mean you spliced the rear left and right + on one tap and tbe rear left and right - on the other tap?
@@larikdais8488 you need to tap both left and right speaker wires. There are 2 positive and 2 negative wires to each speaker . So when to tap the left rear use both positives and negative wires and repeat for the other side. If you only grab one from each the signal will be weak and the sub wont get a strong signal to properly hit
What Amp do you have on the build?
It's an all in one I show it in the video
Do you still have that sub and what is your review on it now?
Yes I do, I absolutely love it. It's impressive for what it is.
@@DanVilla7 Not many videos on that particular sub. Iâm considering that exact sub or the one with 2 8âs. I have a 2016 BMWX5 but mine has 3rd roll seats so when theyâre up thereâs not a lot of room left in the hatch area.
Great video with lots of information. Would you consider doing a one year later update video? Youâd be the only person on CZcams with that content! đđ
you think it would be possible to run 2?
I don't see why not as long as you have the room. Would need a thicker wiring kit
Where do I buy the wires for mine I lost them
Which ones? The ground power wires?
is your amp turned up?
I turned it back from the video keep it at 3/4 and its much louder since broken in
Do you experience any rattling?
On certain bass note will get a little buzzing on the rear speaker deck. Now that it's warm again the buzzing is almost gone.
Also How does your car perform In snow?
@@FleeGuy92 it was ok with the oem Goodyears. I'm expecting it to be way better with my new ones
