any chance you can make it up to New London, CT!? haha

just remember when building it, that the sport package and nismos have a different spare tire than the base model, and have even less space for the box.

Oh I know lol done install on at least 14 z's.

im in ny, ive been looking to do something with the stock system, i went from a 11 speaker hardon kardon system to bose, and so far its been a hard transition. If your still lookin for ppl send me a pm i wouldnt mind driving out there to work with you guys.

Has anyone just raised the whole area of the rear a few inches? Just take the carpet out of the back and use it for a template. That would give you room for everything, Even some rear speakers. I wouldnt let the room go to waste, Put some lids in and some pockets. Weight would be a concern.

I am still looking for people.

And yes I know some people have, although my favorite thing is using the two flat surfaces behind the seats and mold in a speaker enclosure for 6.5's. I am currently working on a set for one of my customers.

sceptre155 · 02-28-2012, 07:17 PM

How much time would you need? I'm about 5 hours away. I could make the trip once or twice.

Do you have any pics of the 6.5's like this in the Z? Thanks.

The problem I see with raising the floor is that the molded plastics go over the floor and you can't really raise them. To do this you would have to create a trunk that went around the plastic at the upper level or at the very least you would have to shave down all the foam that sits under the plastics but then I'd imagine your spare tire would no longer be flush with the trunk floor. I'm sure it is doable but it isn't as easy as it sounds.

Looking at one day for ideas and measuring than one or two more trips for final fit and finish.

sceptre155 · 02-29-2012, 01:39 PM

PM'd you

bigaudiofanat · 02-29-2012, 03:06 PM

Working on those now.

bigaudiofanat · 03-24-2012, 10:28 PM

Bump for spring

Wicked CAS · 04-04-2012, 03:14 PM

You will find that there is very limited space to work with in the spare tire, Not to mention Base model comes with a different spare then the Sport models. We did hours and hours of R&D when we came up with our Wicked CAS Magic BOX and slim design was the way to do it and achieve good results... Yes you can get an 8" sub in there but why would you waste the time and money. Looking forward to the New JL Audio W3 Slim line of woofers to see if a new design can be achieved.

Good luck, I am certalnly interested in what you come up with.
