I've had the system in for a while, installed everything myself except for the custom Alpine screen install. The front end consists of an Alpine CDA9835 deck w/Sirius, DVA5210 Alpine DVD player and Alpine TMEM710 6.5" screen. We had to disassemble the screen and cut the lower section off the frame that contains the controls for the screen and used to some longer ribbon cable to be able to remotely mount the controls slightly forward of the screen just in front of the latch of the cubby hole lid. The actual screen just wedged right in nice 'n tight The result was very slick and custom looking, like Nissan put it there from the factory. The best part is being able to control the DVD player through the deck







Further down the line are two JL Audio amps, a 500/1 for the JL stealthbox and 300/4 for the MB Quart QSD216's in front and RCE216 coaxials in the rear.





Fused distribution block mounted in the glovebox tray


That's pretty much it, just wanted to share with other audiophiles and fellow Z owners

 

Damn, very very nice.

 

nice and clean. Good job.

 

That looks good. I would have never thought to put the distribution block under the pad in the passenger storage compartment. I put my JL 300/4 where yours is until I realized the front channel was shot My sub box is where the spare tire goes and my amp fit perfectly behind that under the trunk floor I made of MDF and covered with Nissan Endurasoft vinyl.

 

Looks good...like the way you relocated the controls for the monitor. Do you have any close-up of the control unit for the monitor? Thanks!

 

Nice setup!

 

nice choice of speakers

im running the MB Quart Qlines all round and love them

they take a while to bed in though being hand built, so go back for a retune in a couple months

 

It seemed logical to me to put it there Thanks

 

I took a pic of it after the install but I don't know why I didn't upload it to cardomain , it's mounted under the passenger seat.

 

I've had the QSD216's for over a year now, I didn't know about a retune....anymore info?

 

thats an awesome install. How much was that amp rack. Thats how i want to install my 300/4 and 500/1 amp.

 

Built it myself

 

damn ur close to me, might have to have you build me one when the times comes for my install

 

Well my I work at Sound Advice in Boca if you wanna stop by one day, but I can't build you another one myself seeing as how the store is now under new, stricter management, but one of my installers will

 

how much would it be to have that rack built??

 

what year Z do you have? got an 05 and ive been looking for a screen that will fit in the cubby w/o sacrificing the cover lid. nice install also

 

$100

 

It's in my sig Same year as yours.
