Fly1 Motorsports 08-06-2012 11:57 AM

Received the box on Friday and installed yesterday. I'm coming from a 10" Zenclosures rear firing box...and have to say the change is dramatic.

HUGE weight savings and I have my trunk back, so to speak. Acoustically I feel the bass significantly more as well. My wife even agreed...which tells you something :tiphat:

Only issues I had were having to enlarge the cutout a bit to fit my woofer...but that's better than being too large. I also needed to add a little foam to get the woofer to fit snug in the corner. Overall...relatively minor issues.

I HIGHLY recommend this box and will post up pics when I get a chance. :tup:

Sub Box Option

I thought about the removal of the sub box prior to designing my sub box to fit in the rear hatch area where the foam piece is located. The sub box in this location does not have to be removed in the event of a flat tire. I fabricated my sub box out of fiberglass with a basa-core weighting in at 6 lbs. The sub box has a gel-coat finish with a similar finish like the plastic 370Z interior panels. The sub box is designed to be flush with the 370Z hatch floor and has a speaker cloth covering the sub and signal processor for a stealth look. The sub box houses a 8" sub, Audison bitTen, and a 5-channel amp. Bear in mind, that a 8" sub is the maximum size sub that will fit in this area of the rear hatch. Sound-wise is good mostly due the the bitTen signal processor.

Check out my post or PM me if curious.

It makes us very happy to hear you are all enjoying the space savings with better bass responce from our Magic Box...

As for the Spare tire access, it has been covered... Corrugated piece will need minor modification... Or it might even slide out of the way (to be confirmed). You will have full access to the spare.

I installed my box with a JL Audio 10w3v3-2 pushed by the sub channel on a JL xd500/3.

After I got the gains dialed in and everything tuned, it sounds great. Nice deep, tight bass. I wouldn't want any more or less bass overall. It is perfect for me in this sized car. Matches really well with a set of amplified db6501 components.

Only problem I have is securing the box, and still allowing for removal of the spare tire.

As of right now, the box is still unsecured. If I were to use some kind of bolt, into the sidewall of the hatch, through the tie-down location, the spare would be almost impossible to remove unless I modify, the plastic sheet and the foam underneath.

I tried velcro, and it doesn't work. Luckily, the box stays pretty much in the same location and doesn't move around much.

Wicked CAS: Have you guys had any luck getting mounting hardware together yet, or a tutorial and parts list? I know you mentioned that you were still working on it.

If I could just get this box secured, without issues, I would be 100% happy with the product.

I wish I could say I had better instructions then what was posted here... There is enough info here to get it installed... As of right now, Accessing spare tiire will need modification to the Foam piece and the corrugated plastic peice. Unfortunately we haven't had a chance to get our donor Z here, Owner of the car is still traveling.

I know helidriver had posted some pictures with hardware he had used on page 4.

Placed my order today for the package deal! I am hoping it ships soon!

martin82 08-20-2012 02:27 PM

one thing I forgot when you guys were starting this thread, the right side foam has nothing in it, so a lot of air space could be used on the right side of the hatch instead of the left (jack and tools).

I got my shipment within a couple of days ...Great deal Naz! I will post pics on complete

GOOD lord the sound is fantastiic. Naz your stealth corner box with thr jl 10 v3v3 and the amp and thr hertzhienergy speakers have surpassed my expectations, Great deal! thanks.

ps. My local car toys folks were very impressed with the sound and fit and look of the box!

MDG-Z 09-02-2012 09:10 AM

I just anchored it into the foam underneath the box, as the likely hood of needing the spare is pretty low for me. It doesn't quite flush-mount my nismo, but with a low-pro Rockford Fosgate R2ds2 (pretty much perfect match for the volume of the enclosure) this thing hits hard and fast. Great sound from Rap to EDM to Metal. Matched with a lair of amplified Infinity Kappas and a Clarion nx602, everything came together beautifully.

Eelobrien 09-07-2012 06:15 PM

Wicked,,will this go in a 2009 370 with the nav/ Bose system? I am very interested. Tnx

Yes, just need to order your model specific enclosure.
Sport/nismo. Or. Base model.
I can also set you up with amp and speakers to if you would like.

Hi...I have the 2009 370z coupe touring with black interior..it has the nav/bose system so I have found out (from this site lol) that I cant change the HU. But i would like that know if the deal from you site is still on..the $750 for the combo pack deal. As well do you sell the rear view camera system set up? and I would need it shipped to Cochrane Ontario Canada...do you ship here amd what would be the price?

thanks for all your help

Eelobrien 09-08-2012 12:52 PM

oops and I am looking for the sirius sat setup for the car as well...

UNKNOWN_370 09-11-2012 09:57 AM

I never come on here because this area of the forum is so slow. The day i decide to check.... There's a thread of innovation on here thats 3 months old...

So what is the current offer for sept. 2012???

PS I wrote you on your business e mail, like 6 to 7 months ago asking if you would ever make this exact box like you have in the 350. i never received a reply. I'm glad it happened though...

BlkNismo 09-17-2012 07:50 PM

Sent payment on 9/6...any update on status?

Super excited! Everything is in place, just waiting on the box.

Alexshen1 09-28-2012 07:03 PM

Mine wouldn't fit properly until I removed one of the cargo mats.

Alexshen1 09-29-2012 05:52 PM

i tried all kinds of removing combinations, still a bit gap anyways

BlkNismo 10-03-2012 05:03 PM

Just received my box this afternoon. Great quality box. Fitment is damn near perfect with the carpet and hard floorboard removed.
However, once you put these items back in, it does not sit flush. I have not secured the box yet as I will try to get it as flush as possible and find the best way to secure the box.

I have a focal 8" sub and it sounds great. I was not looking for tremendous bass like I have in another vehicle with 2 12"s.

Exactly was I was looking for, can still use the trunk for luggage or whatever you need to put back there.

Thanks wicked cas!

Touring models come with hatch cover / sun shade.
Just about all models have the hook on the hatch.
Some sport models also have the side trims that accomodate the hatch cover.

10" enclosure will accomodate JL AUDIO 10wx 10w0 10w1 and most importantly 10w3v3

We will be making provisions on the enclosure to keep the hook in place... This way no need to take the clip off... However the hatch cover, most likely, will not work with the enclosure installed.

So has anyone with this box tried to use the sun shade? Will it attach?

Isn't it designed to be used with the carpet and floorboard installed?

You want to use Parrott for bluetooth... I like the DNX6990HD for it's price point and hi volt pre outs. Sound deadening will help th enoise levels a lot. PM me for Price please.

Nice! Did you have to trim the carpet too, or was the corrugated piece sufficient?

Just the corrugated. But, the cargo cover clip still hits the box.

Nixlimited 01-21-2013 02:42 PM

Nice. Where did you install the amp?

peleincubus 01-22-2013 02:45 PM

so if you have a touring model you can get this enclosure/sub and change the speakers, while adding an amp

but you can not change the head unit correct? you have to buy something im assuming so you can you use the factory head unit.

or am i wrong and you can just change everything?

Chemy 01-31-2013 10:57 PM

What kind of wait time for this box right now? I tend not to be very patient :icon18:

I almost pulled the trigger on the JL stealth box but I dont like that you can see it clearly..

PM me with price and timeline if you would please.

snowsurfdirtx 02-01-2013 04:25 PM

looks really good.. can i still use my touring cover? If so i'm definitely picking one of those up.

Yes you can still use the cover. However, the clip on the hatch WILL hit the top of the box creating a small piece of the carpeting on the box to wear. I even cut the corregated panel below the carpet so the box would sit a bit lower and it still rubs. But, at least you can still use the cover. It would be good if they tweaked the box just a bit.

Cbtech 02-22-2013 07:42 PM

I just purchased the 10W6 thinking it would fit the Wicked corner box and found that it is 10W6 mounting depth is 1 inch deeper than the 10W3. Would it fit or would i need to add a spacer of up to 1inch to get it to fit? I really want this set up but need to get an opinion.

oh and Hi, im new here but not new to the Z :tiphat:
