neodynium magnets won't come off unless you force them off by sliding them to a hard edge and prying them off. Try sticking one to your fridge and you'll see what I mean. ;)

Agreed! When I bought my 350Z back in late 2001, I already had all the new stereo gear bought and sitting in my garage for 2 months before the car arrived on the freakin boat!

I've been considering the whole sport + touring vs. sport base. I am also an audiophile and for this reason I think I have decided against the touring just because of the Bose stereo. My plan is to...

I had Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 on my 350Z and they were awesome tires. So much more grip than the stock Potenzas. Wet pavement performance was also far superior to the Potenzas.

Slightly OT, but why not just leave the entire cover off? Wouldn't this provide some air flow for cooling? Or does the plastic cover provide aerodynamic functionality? It seems to me that...

This is true for the twisties but if you want top speed then you can't beat the flat midwest. The roads are empty most of the time and you can see for miles for any cops that might be lurking.

Lose the spare and get AAA Gold. They take you up to 150 miles for free, no questions asked. Lose the spare and even better the weight of the spare.

Bose use very low impedance speakers with funky connectors and their connections to their own amps are totally proprietary. But, as I said you rip all that out and send the signal from the head...

In my opinion it depends on the situation. Here in the Atlanta area if I'm at a stoplight that I know is going to be at least 2-3 minutes then I keep the car in neutral until I know the light is...

That is a very nice design but seems to be way overkill. Is that setup for 12" subs? Maybe great for car audio shows or bass heads but if you're going for just good sound I would stick with putting...

I would do like a couple of people on here have already done and lose the spare tire (get AAA Gold instead) and put the sub there. This is the same thing I did with my 350Z and the sound was truly...

Ricochet is 100% right on. Rear speakers, especially in a 2-seater are pretty much worthless for high quality music. Rear speakers are for surround sound and fill only and the Z car is too small to...

I had it on my 02 350Z and it was well worth the investment. Just keep in mind that it only lasts about 5 years before it starts to show it's age and starts peeling and that's always being parked in...
