Thanks Thanks Thanks to all.
Once you get going, the connectors in the door are a snap. I feel so much better knowing I have 14 gauge wire running from the amps to the doors.
Heck ya!
Now I can move on... Install the DNX6160, Polk sub amp under drivers seat, Kenwood 4 channel amp under apssenger seat, and I putting a single sub box in the back with and Xtant 10". Gonna come up with a way to tie it to the support bar.

Can you take some extensive pictures / video? I think there are some slight differences between the 2009 and 2010 models. The added info would help all of the 2010 owners out.

Default 2009 vs 2010

So far, the videos on the doors, the connectors to the doors, all the panels in the car, and taking apart the dash have been perfect for my 2010 Nismo Z. Everything has been exactly as described in the videos in the forums.
I did take some good photos of how I used the frame of the door OEM speakers as a bracket for the new 6.5" woofers and tweeters. Trust me, if the Polk Momos fit, any 6.5" should. I think the top mount depth of the Momos is about 2.5" which is deep.
Tonight I cut a hole in the existing speaker grills on the back wheel wells and managed to get a set of JL 4" speakers to fit rather nicely. I have photos of that to. Yes, 4" is not what I would prefer but anything bigger would not have fit right. Again, I plan on running the high pass filter to these and let the Xtant 10" woofer pick up the slack. The reviews on the JL Audio 4" model C2-400X are pretty good. JL is always as good as a speaker can be.
Now the doors and the wheel wells are done, I can move quicker placing the amps and installing the deck. Should be done over the weekend (work during the weekdays and get as much done as I can before dark). Come Sunday, I'll post up what I have.
Let me tell you this. I have never seen such a cheap pair of OEM speakers as what I saw when I removed them from the doors. I bet they cost Nissan $4.00 or less in a $40,000 dollar car. Total bull.
