Nissan 370z Nismo - Speaker Options?

DCNISMO · 01-19-2012, 08:53 AM

I added rears and glad about it. The extra sound is great to help overcome the road noise. You have to take panels off or mostly off and shave down the plastic tabs to make them fit and you need to run wires. I bought the Boston acoustics. Search in here and you can get the model number for them as others in here did the same thing.

Got my new Pioneer AVH-P3000BT stereo installed today along with a Kenwood CMOS 200 back up cam. I am happy with the improvement in my factory bose speakers, but noticed two things. One, I don't think my factory subwoofer is working right. There is barely any bass coming from it, as I could feel the air coming from it only at the lowest bass level. When I turn off the subwoofer via the receiver, there is no difference in bass. The other thing I am noticing is some background noise in the speakers, but only when I have it on level 1 or mute. Should there be noise? Is my subwoofer not hooked up correctly? I had very nice bass when the factory stereo was in.

Is the head unit running a bose system?

Yes, the head unit is running Bose speakers, two tweeters, four mids and one sub in the spare tire space. I adjusted the settings on Pioneer receiver this morning and found that the sub is working. Had the Hz set too low, adjusted to 125 hz and now I hear the sub better. Problem is, the sub apparently was not wired so that I can control only it via the receiver. So now that I have a more powerful receiver, the factory speakers vibrate the doors when I want more bass. I can fade to the rear speakers to help this, but that is not ideal. I guess I am going to have to get the factory speakers replaced or live without a lot of bass. The background noise is bothering me anyway.
