TRX Fiend
So I’m the type of middle aged guy that grew up in the 80’s and 90’s. Big booming stereos is what I expect out of a factory stereo but hardly ever receive.
With that said, when I received delivery of my TRX with HK 19 speaker system, I was largely underwhelmed and began planning my system.
After visiting multiple stereo shops in Houston, I realized no one can please my middle age crotchety-ass better than myself and decided to order product from Crutchfield.
JL Stealthbox, amp, PAC interface, wiring.... ran into a multitude of factory defects on equipment which left me shuffling equipment in and out.
Fortunately or unfortunately, I found myself applying sound deadening mat to the back wall and then reverting back to the HK sub.
Im here to tell ya, insulation on that rear wall made a huge difference for me and my factory set up. After insulating the real wall, dealing with faulty aftermarket equipment, and reinstalling the factory HK sub, all I can say is wow! My 17yo son who has been my right hand man through all of this even mentioned how perhaps I shouldn’t upgrade any longer. Now I don’t believe the improvement is all that great, I would suggest for anyone who is disappointed in the factory sound, has the HK 19 speaker setup, doesn’t want to upgrade, but wants some subtle improvements, check out the sound deadening pad options available.
This is the padding I purchased
