I actually switched the tweeter mounting brackets. The left went to the right and right went to the left. This allowed the tweeters to be aimed just a tad of axis. http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_1056.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_1057.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_1058.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_1055.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_1060.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_1061.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_1062.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_1063.jpg |

Subaru Legacy Rebuild
Long story short, the customer contacted me about a year ago to correct what other shops had done. After fixing those issues the customer constantly changed either amps or speakers every month or so. :laugh:
So this is a complete gut and rebuild. Everything is being taken out and re ran or replaced. The amps will both be on a amp rack above the spare tire. The sub will now be centered in the trunk instead of to the side. Let's begin Tear down http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/Untitled.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_0006.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_0008.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_0009.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_0010.jpg Found this when I was pulling up the power wire :o http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_0011.jpg They spliced into the power wire for the MS8 http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_0012.jpg The goodies http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_0013.jpg |
Today I setup the tweeter pods, and did the first layer of resin.
Made tweeter rings http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_0014.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_0015.jpg Glued into place http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_0016.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_0017.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_0018.jpg First time doing the tweeter pods, so I did get some sag. Was not able to stretch it out. http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_0019.jpg |
New speakers installed
http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_0020.jpg Because the door panels have been taken off so many times; I replaced all the panel pins. http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_0021.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_0022.jpg Power wire and speaker wire ran http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_0023.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_0024.jpg Other pillar wrapped http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_0025.jpg |

Today I built and dry fitted the amp rack together. Going to have to build a new false floor as the amp rack comes to the height of the floor already.

Updated pics of the amp rack, aligned the amps and the holes. Going to be bolting them in with stainless steel bolts.

Test fitted the amp rack in the trunk. Perfect fit!
Now to start the false floor tomorrow and sub box. http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_0047.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_0048.jpg |
I like the addition of the cooling fans. Looking good.

So today I got a lot done, most of the car is back together. Did get to test the woofers and sub however ran into a few problems including the sub box will not fit because of a seat belt in the way. So I will have to change the location to the left of the trunk and make a new beauty panel.
Working on the sub box. http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_0049.jpg All the old wires http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_0050.jpg First layer of bondo http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_0051.jpg Cut out http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_0052.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_0053.jpg All wires organized http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_0054.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_0055.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_0056.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_0057.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_0058.jpg |

http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...5-24174615.jpg Sub and beauty panel installed http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...5-24180331.jpg |
The final part was installed toda, the tweeters. I must say they were difficult considering they were my first set of tweeter pods. In the future I know what to do different.

Hey do you know why my hazard lights are illuminated on my car when I turn it on? They wont shut off until I hit a blinker or click the hazard light button. The lights are not flashing but are illuminated. -- 2012 Nissan 370z sport package 6spd

battery in your keyless entry remote sounds like it is failing, despite it being a new car. I would bring it up with the dealer - esp since it's so new.

I agree with Equinox

Hey Matt I've been experiencing an issue since I installed my Rockford T2 components speakers. Whenever I accelerate there is a whine or high pitch sound coming from the right tweeter.
I heard it's some kind of alternator whine because my power cables might be close to the coaxial. I have my speakers directly to the HU and don't use any amps. It only happens when the car is running. But I Do have a power cable running behind my HU, do you think this is the problem? is there any other solution other than re-routing this cable? |

Have you done any installs in the touring models that have BOSE? I see youv'e done several in base models but mine has BOSE and just wondering if it'll sound better/worse or the same using the stock speakers. Thanks

http://www.the370z.com/audio-video/4...bout-bose.html I have done 2 370z bose systems and a few in other cars. It is going to sound a little better with a new head unit however your not going to be able to power them from your head unit, you will have to let the bose amp do that. |
