Question: Why did you install a center speaker? Was it just for the navigation voice commands?

Yup, the Garmin is a great unit. The purpose of the Alpine is only for the nav voice. The speaker has it's own amplifier, and when the voice prompt comes on the mute lead at the head unit kills the other speakers, so only the navigation voice is present.
I originally started to tie in the nav voice with the 'regular' speakers but I wanted something a little different. I figured since I had an extra amplifier laying around I would use it with the Alpine center channel speaker. The volume that the center channel can achieve with this amplifier is total overkill but it's nice to know I can really blare it if I wanted too, lol.
I find that I like that hearing the nav voice come in front and center instead of all over, or from one corner, etc., so it worked out as a nice solution in my case.

^^ Cool… your method is certainly a great way to deliver voice navigation. I did it a little differently. I mute the fronts and have these speakers deliver the voice commands. My rear “fills” continue sounding whatever the H/U is playing (music, talk-radio, etc.), but they are set low and the voice commands coming from the fronts are very dominant and loud (I set the Garmin to 90% volume). Truthfully I found that the navigation voice coming through the high-quality front components was almost alarming, so I set the Garmin GVN-52 to chime first before the voice literally booms on the fronts. I’ll bet your setup sounds better and is more subtle.
Nice job,

LOL @ THIS THREAD. Hey, I have an idea, let's find out what everyone else is doing and just copy it. Yeah. That's what the sheeple at car show want. More of the same crap. Maybe next year we can add more screens, 2 more NOS bottle and doors that open and close by themselves. We could be the envy of school kids everywhere and make the honda guys jealous. Maybe if were lucky, we can be in some riced out Hollywood movie. Oh to dream ....

Well get over it. not to be mean or anything. If you havnt notice the 350 is one the the fast growing tuner car out there now. So people will be doing stuff like this. If you want something more high class go buy you that porsche.
As for me, my Z is a show car. I have stupid stuff like screen in my car. 2 seven inch in the dash and even a 21 inch lcd in the back. you might say what the hell you need that for. well again show car. the purpose is to draw attention. And trust me, it does. you might not like it. but you would be suprise how many people come around my car and would be wow thats bad ***. I have some thread I started showing pics on it. go look it up and diss it if you want. My car not your. Its not your opinion that counts. its the judges, and so far i have been winning. So I guess im doing something right.

Oh yeah Evobunny, right on man.
Oh yeah Evobunny, right on man.
I've got to do some digging to remember the screen type and where I purchased it.
Size wise....it's a 6.5" widescreen......it's the perfect size.
The screen mount is something my audio guy did......any more info is probably in this thread:

I'll look around for more of the screen info.....

It’s pretty easy to create a custom mount, or even do this with just stock parts for a better looking LCD installation:
