i think stock the z is heavier in the front, so will adding a sub even it out a bit?

 

is it necessary? You can do the math for it yourself. But, in realy, F/R weight distribution doesnt mean as much as R/L weight distribution and the actual distance that the distributions are set. For this reason, a mid engine will have a wack distribution, somewhere like 30/70, but itll 'handle' better because the heavier things like the engine and transmission are closer to the center of mass, which matters more.

 

not unless that sub is a couple 18s w/ a couple piles of sand bags on them...

 

its 53/47 the weight is actually designed 2 shift 2 the front when entering a corner, etc. so itll handle better. it wouldnt really make a difference, as long as u dont add a 250lb box in the trunk

 

o yea thats right, if i added more weight in the rear, that means i would have to remove some weight in the front to balance it out. haha wut a mistake

 

If you were really concerned about a perfect weight balance, you wouldn't be thinking about adding sound system weight. What do you care about this for?

 

Yeah, I don't think that adding weight is the best way to go...maybe take some weight out to get it even.

 

if u take out the spare tire it might even out

 

then ud buy an rx7

 

the 53/47 **** from nissan is all bs. Its because they couldnt get 50/50 without changing up the frame. 50/50 and 53/47 isnt all that much of a difference, and the center of gravity shifts much further back and to the outside while turning out of a turn.

 

i just switched from my custom 1 10"stealthbox to the jl pro wedge W3v3 box (in front of the strut bar), and i really feel like my handling is way off. also it ways so much, i feel like im towing a boat. if it didnt fit so perfectly and hit so hard i would take it out.

my sub is bolted in where the bose was. and tunes the factory amp a bit. hits hard. rather spend my time and $ on a good motor setup over a stereo, but thats just me
