2002 Acura RSX Type S (3-Way On Axis Rebuild Alpine/Audison)
Going to be making some changes to the old system and adding new equipment. I'm going to be ditching the 2-way + rear fill and going 3-way on this one. Ever since I went 3-way in my daily driver, this car just never seemed as enjoyable. I will be removing the ipad mini and pure i20 as the main source. I will also be fabricating sail panel pods for the mids and small pods for the tweeters.
Old Equipment
- iPad Mini (Optical Out)
- Audison Voce AV5.1k (Front Stage/Sub Amplifier)
- Audison Voce AV K6 Component Speakers (2-Way Front Stage)

- Alpine PXA-H701 (Processor)
- Kicker PX 100.2 (Rear Fill Amplifier)
- Alpine Type S 5.25 Coaxial (Rear Fill)
- Audison AV10 (Subwoofer)
New Equipment
- Android Phone LG G7 (Optical Out)
- Audison Voce AV5.1k (Tweeter/Mid-range/Sub Amplifier)
- Audison Voce AV5.1k (Mid-bass)
- Alpine DVA-9860 (Head Unit/Controller)
- Alpine PXA-H701 (Processor)
- Audison AV1.1 (Tweeter)
- Audison AV3.0 (Midrange)
- Audison AV K6 (Midbass)

The Audison AV3.0 midrange are pretty small. I decided to install them on axis in the sail panels.

Had to cut a piece out of the passenger sail panel so the door would close.

Painted the pods in a rustoleum black for now.

I ordered some ABS plastic rings to replace the wood rings I previously had in the doors. I filled in the back of the rings with a mixture of bondo and fiberglass resin to add some rigidity.

I had some kilmat laying around, so I decided to put another layer on the doors.

Ran new speaker wires for the midrange. Also put some techflex on the old wires to dress them up a bit.

This is where I left off after last weekend. Here are some pics of how the tweeters look in the stock locations. I got the basic shape mocked up for the tweeter pods. Still a lot of sanding needs to be done.
