Check it out guys, my car made it in Road & Track Road gear magazine (formerly known as Mobile E or Mobile Entertainment). Here is the link: http://www.roadgearmag.com/
From the home page click on "350Z Soundcheck & Video Check".
There is a ton more pictures in the magazine itself that just hits news stands today 3/22. Buy the magazine and check it out and let me know what you guys think.
I was thinking about selling my car with everything in it but now I am thinking about keeping it. I just need some rims (Volk GT-C in Gunmetal is what I really want) and the Veliside Version 1 spoiler and I think I would be set.
It was so excited when the magazine came, it has been months worth of work and coordinating.
Anyone had a chance to check out the magazine yet?

 

nice!!!!! like that custom xbox install man.

 

Seems like they kinda bashed on your system a little. No matter what they say it's still freaking awesome system! I wish I had the knowledge to do that!

Man...you have really good skillz! (Napoleon Dynamite)

 

Wish i could take credit for the install, I just had the ideas. My stereo shop did that for me.
Also the guy that did the write up is the number 1 competitor to the shop that actually did the install so we all kind of expected some negative comments.
He explained the only way for me to fix the fact that the sound isn't coming from the center is to add a center channel. He also went on to say the Z soundstage sucks in their design, some major overhauling would have to take place before it would sound the way he wanted. His Truck they did was featured in a previous issue won several IASCA championships so to compare my car to that is not really fair. The system wasn't really desinged to win sound competitions, if so I would have added more speakers for sure. My install was designed more around a clean install with crisp sound, not overwhelming the car with stuff.
The guys that installed my system doesn't sell JL either so I still need to tune my amps, Jeff said that would help out a lot.
I wish you guys could check out he magazine article that is unbiased, just tells the story about me and my install. I will try to post the quicktime movie the photographer sent me with the pics that's in the magazine.

 

congrats - sweet system. I'll pick up the mag when i see it.

 

Just got the Magazine. Car Looks AMAZING!!! Beautiful layout.

 

Thanks guys for the comments so far.

Here are some the pics that the photographer took. Btw, Carl Edwards the photographer is amazing. Not all of these were in the magazine, there is a ton that didn't make it but overall I am please with the ones they choose. Check it out...

 

Nice, clean, beautiful setup man.

 

Congrats.

I agree on the center channel too. I didn't think it would make that big of a difference in sound till I installed mine.

 

I like your set-up before the magazine article. AWESOME. People always seem to bash things for stupid reasons. The real problem is that they can't think of a good setup. VERY nice! Stock look on the outside, KICK *** on the inside. Not over stated-still OEM but with the best EQUIPMENT!
