I'll be documenting a bit more. I'm terrible at taking photos while I do ****, however, I will attempt to get some photos of the finished product.

I currently own and operate a 2011 WW MR-T

What I have so far:

CarPC running Centrafuse (Giada i5 machine, 2gb of ram, SSD)
- JoyconEX for steering wheel controls
- Carnetix 2140 (currently dead, on RMA) PSU
- Capacitive Lilliput Touchscreen (wtb jdm dash)

JL Audio XD400/4 for high/mids.

In my opinion, the install itself is creative/meritorious. I have the actual PC mounted in the glovebox, USB piped under drivers seat for the high/mid amp. I extended all of the wires I am using in the factory harness so that I can pull the amp into the backseat a bit and adjust it should I need to. All connections are soldered/heat shrunk (took forever).

I use a lot of the wiring harness components (things like line-in r/l, etc, that aren't in use obviously with a carPC or alternate amp) to send things like remotes, etc, across the vehicle. I am going to be installing some improved low-end (2 12W7s firing inwards in custom fiberglass enclosures) eventually, and I am going to send the RCA to the back using the existing subwoofer wiring, and the remote turn-on as well.

I am going to be installing the low amplifiers directly under the parcel shelf, in the plasti-wall where the fluids/battery are kept, or under the spare tire false floor.

If anyone has any questions about CarPCs, clever installation, etc, let me know.

you gonna run 2 12W7s? thats crazy! i had 2 in my RSX but it was too much and stuff started falling apart from all the vibration so i took one out and had just one of them running for a few years.

1 or 2, not certain yet. That's what the gain knob is for
The weight would be my biggest reason not to run 2.
Also, what kind of enclosure were you running? I will be rolling sealed, 1.3ft^3 of volume.

i had a gain knob but i like a lot of bass so i had it half way turned up all the time but it was still too much after a few years. im planning on just putting a 10" in the evo but im still debating it.

Before the PSU died did you manage to get the Joycon EX controls working? Are you also using the bluetooth?

I'm about to embark on a car PC project and would like to incorporate these into the setup.

Thanks
