California build thread

Well thought I would get this thread started for the up coming week.
Looking forward to doing a total of 6 370z's including one roadster.
Pics will be uploaded at the end of the day with full details as you all come to expect from my builds.

As for those of you that do not know: I was flown to California for 9 days by 6 people to do work on their 370z's. Here is that thread http://www.the370z.com/audio-video/4...ome-build.html

3rd install and second of the day was iDmac

Who just wanted a simple rear camera and head unit

Finished

Finished the build yesterday but forgot finished pics.

NOTE The bose system is not something to have be taken as a easy upgrade. I ran into a few problems and one still exists, alternator wine!! We are still trying to figure out if there is a way to get rid of it our last hope is a noise filter or ground loop isolator. I will be putting up a in depth write up on the bose system and upgrading it. In the end if you even think you are not going to be happy with the bose, either get a base or the bose system without nav, because once you have the nav you can not take it out.

Rear view camera and speed bypass installed.

Hey Matt, make sure you bring some of that 76 degree weather back with you to the east coast, buddy!:icon17:

Its quite unfortunate that i couldnt make it on time for this, but make sure this is not the last time you will visit socal for installations.

Matt's work is flawless! Everything worked on the first try and he ran the wires so nicely that it looks like the system came like that from factory. Very professional and he is a perfectionist when working on our cars. Takes his time and triple checks everything. Sounds amazing!!!! Thanks a lot Matt for everything. Everyone who is waiting to get theirs installed, you will be happier than you can imagine after Matt finishes your installs. I have been walking back and forth to my garage all night finding excuses to listen to it.

Thanks for posting up the pics!!

That's exactly how I felt when I was driving home after my install and 2 and half years later, not a single problem with all the stuff he installed (Kenwood HU with microphone, NAV and SIRIUS, Rear foglight THEZSTORE harness, Back up camera etc). Matt is a great installer and he does his work with a passion. You can pay ANYONE to get your stereo installed but someone who cares and loves what they do and takes their time and does it right, now that's priceless. Also, he wouldn't be in Blue (audio installer) on our forum if I didn't like his work :). He always takes his time and shrink wraps every welded connection. How many installers do that these days?

Keep up the good work Matt. :tup: I'm looking forward to seeing all the installs.

P.S. Matt, don't forget to whore yourself up with the THE370Z tshirt you have! lolol j/k :icon17: :bowrofl:

@dthem370, how is the kenwood rear camera like? Where did you mount it? Pic?

:yum:

[/B][QUOTE=bigaudiofanat;1422945]Next up we have threeseventy

Basically he wanted to keep the stock head unit and add a little more Bump. We started this last last night and I knew we would never get it done, so this morning I came and finished it. Today "day 2" was two installs.
All and all I was impressed with the quality of sound that the amp and sub were producing.

My review of Matt

Just got back from my install! It was fun! Matt did a superb job. I wouldn't be able to do this install by myself and it is definitely money well spent. Matt was so meticulous on all his wires it was all soldered and shrink wrapped with marine grade shrink wrap (I did not know it existed). My install was a simple one but he made sure that everything was correctly placed and working. GREAT JOB MATT!!! I will surely call you if ever I do an upgrade. Thanks again. :happydance:

And it was nice to meet u Steve u are one cool dude! :tup::tup:
