Your leaning in the right direction! JL is the best IMO! I have all JL Audio VR 6.5" Speakers in the doors and rear, all powered by a JL Audio 300/4 amp. I am looking in to a custom box for my 2 JL Audio 12W6v2 Subwoofers!!! I cannot wait to have those in my Z!

This is by far the most common. I did this install a week or so ago.






2 subs under the strut there in the back(box can be had off ebay) and an amp in the glove compartment.

Jl subs are okay to good depends on the w*what*. JL amps are dirty I would stay away from those.

My suggestions.

Phoenix Gold amps
Eclipse head unit
Jl subs(w6 not w3 or w7) or Eclipse alumin. cone or Re audio XXX
Alpine Type X components(though Ive heard of mounting difficulties)
or Boston Acoustics pro components

Do not run any rear fill, you do not need it in a 2 seater

Here is a pic of my old system and my new one.

Initially I was running a stealth box design with 1 10"JL106v2 powered by a JL 500/1 5 channel amp that also powered the Infiniti 6.1 perfects in the doors.
It was a MDF wood box with a top covered in a black carbon fiber vinal. You could still put the factory mat on top to hide it.

My new system is 2 12" MTX 7500 subs powered by an MTX801D and Focal K2P compents in the doors powered by an MTX1004.
This is a fiberglass design made more for show.

facing them back is a better idea...allows for the sound waves to form...rather than hitting your ears with half waves and quarter waves

I'm sure everyone is wondering why my mommy has that in her hand, it was dark in my Z, needed it to see in the glove box!!!
