California Install

bigaudiofanat · 08-20-2009, 07:04 AM

First off I want to thank Derek AKA "OMGWTFBBQ" for showing me the best time I have ever had on a trip. You are the best man.

Second for those of you that may no know, I was flown to California Orange County for a install on a 370z. I have to say it was simply awesome. Also for those of you looking to upgrade your front speakers and think you are limited to a few speakers. Your not! the spacer rings that z closures makes can be used over top of the existing plastic spacer already there. So without further a due here is the install! Enjoy and please feel free to comment and ask questions.

The Ride

The loot

Power wire ran threw stock grommet takes a bit of time but can is the best place for it.

Dash apart and head unit mounted to brackets.

Time to take apart the trunk

Hmm wounder who he is maybe the installer?

Factory tweeter and modding time. Using a dremel I shaved and trimmed out the factory tweeter.

The new ID tweeter

Almost looks like it belongs there hu?

The back end

Hmm almost like some sort of super tweeter

Solder up the wires!

The grill was to big but it pops right out so now it will fit right in.

Door panels off

This is why factory is no good LOL

The ID cxs components the woofers need 3 inches of clearance for the magnet.

Using the z closure spacers and installing them with some bigger bolts you can fit just about any speakers in your door, just as long as you shave some of the ring off were the bolt goes the door panel fits perfectly with a good amount of clearance.

IT IS NICE!

REAL NICE

Putting the panels back on

Work work work

Wires

Head unit installed

So after some fun we continued at a parking lot for the rest of the install.

Installer in the trunk!

Amp ground wire

Amp mounted

Wires Ran

Next morning the sub box had to be trimed for the bigger ID Q sub but it was worth it.

bigaudiofanat · 08-20-2009, 07:34 AM

Sub mounted

One happy guy

Also a side note that I did not get any pics of the rear view camera but will ask him to get a few.
