Need a system (kinda long)
Hey guys, i'm new to the site so let me fill you in on whats going on...
I've got a 2005 Grand Touring Z roadster that i had stripped to nothing and painted bright yellow. I'm looking to create a show-stopper and i'm not willing to skimp on any of the extras. I work too hard to have this car to not do it right.
I've got this vision of a stereo... Let me know what you guys think. First off, i have the navigation and bose and am not worried about losing either. I've had aftermarket Navigation before and i can tell you i would rather pull this one out than integrate it. I'm looking to do the following
Focal K3P setup in custom yellow doors (focal sounds awesome and it's yellow so it will all match)
Focal K2p's in the rear, i want to run the entire system active with Audison amps (not sure of models)
For bass i want to do 3 Focal 27kx subs in obviously a custom fiberglass box.
For a source i'm thinking about a ivad310 with the addon processor (without the display) with an alpine center channel. I'd also like to replace the stock screen with an alpine screen to always show nav. A backup camera would be nice but not necessary.
I'm looking for suggestions or comments and a good place in the area to have this done. I'm used to doing all my own installs, but i no longer have the time or the patience. Plus i'd rather have it done right the first time.
Thanks everyone

You're in luck - one of the best shops that pretty much specialize in 350Zs is located in Kingston, NH, just over the MA border. Nazar, one of the owners of Wicked Car Audio Systems (aka Wicked CAS) was the first one to make sub boxes that fit under the strut bar and now makes quite a few different custom speaker pods for the Z and just did complete fiberglass replacement doors for a 350Z. In my car, they custom built a center channel speaker, installed a rear view camera, changed out my gauge faces, headlights and other cutsom fiberglass (they have a wood/fiberglass shop on site).
As far as credentials, they were just recently voted one of the 50 top retailers in the US, and the other owner, Justin O'Neil, has been one of the top 100 installers in the US for about 3-4 years running. They have had several cars that have gone to SEMA including this year's Razo 350Z. In addition, they have done several "celebrities" cars, including just finishing George Hincapie's SUV about a month ago.
They are down to earth, honest, know their stuff and their prices are cheaper than anyone else that I have found (they sell Alpine, JL Audio, Focal, etc). Just mention this board, the local "New England" Z/G board www.G350Z.com or just mention my name.
