Thanks ZManInNY, i couldn't have put it any better

 

my install doesnt sound to bad. i kept the stock HU and swapped out all the Speakers with Diamond Audio HEX Seriers Components, wired to a Ecslipe 100/4 amp and a 8" JL W7 in the stock sub location hook up to another Eclispe Amp. The Amps were installed in the cargo compartment behind the passenger seat. Smaller on top of the large amp and a peice of wood thats carpetted seperates them and hold the top amp in place. Two computer fans were installed in there along with a capcitor.

Basically if you were to open my car up you would see no sub box, amps, or wires. in fact it looks stock except for the tweeters are larger than stock. Looks and sound pretty sick too.

Thanks for the details!

 

True That !!! Someone Could Make Alot Of Money If They Sold That Box..... Duh Du Dah

 

whoa who dug a 4 year old thread outta the attic lol

wickedcas makes such a box

 

You know? I've searched and browsed for days. I even contacted WickedCAS and I STILL don't know what their "glovebox enclosure" is (they don't respond). Is it just a plate for the passenger side? If so, it sucks, right? Can it go behind the driver? Does it suck?

In short: Does it suck?

I, like a few others here, are not looking to announce our lack of taste to a 3 block radius. I just want some decent bass to listen to John Tesh (kidding). Can I PLEASE have a box that fits in the stock location, already!

And, on topic, why is it not possible to use Dynamat in the stock location to seal up all the various corners, seams and holes?

 

Marineris,,,, "wickedcas" box does fit the stock bose location and the pass side glove box. Its a complete enclosure that is made of fiberglass.

No such thing as a "plate" from wickedcas. There are fully fiberglass "boxes" for 10's that locate on the driver side and pass side cubby's. From what I have "SEARCHED" and read here,,,they do not suck. But, I guess it depends on what type of bass you are trying to achieve.

All else,,,,try www.wickedcas.com they have a photo gallery for the 350z,,,has photos of the enclosures....

Oh and "no",,,it doesn't suck..

 

Well, Depends how you define suck. The "box" part is really good quality. However, the flange on mine doesn't fit the opening and is not tapped for the screw holes. So, if you consider $300.00 for something that will require hours of engineering and machining to mount, then yeah it doesn't suck. You will also need to get longer screws to reach through the fiberglass to the holes.

and +1 on they don't respond. You are on your own.

how's the sound on that wicked cas box behind the seat... is it clean with little or no rattling..? don't really care about the install.. but the sound quality is what i'm after...!!! it is kindna expensive box so i'm guessing quality of sound should be good also... anybody????

 

Has anyone gotten this CAS glovebox unit installed ?? How does it sound ?? What sub did you put in it ??

 

i did mine w/ dynamat and a jl w0 sub

 

how does it sound...is it a waste of $$$$

 

well im not very much into audio, im more on thwe performance aspect. but its worth it if you do it right. mine is wired up and sealed, connected to a small 250watt amp, and bridged on the stock bose headunit, and its fine for me. hits nice, sounds crisp

 

hmm.. sounds like a more expensive route.. can da infinity basslink 10" fit in the back??? anybody know.. i think that's the route i'm goin to since i jes want to add base in my audio, jes for me.. not for the whole neighborhood.. i read that its decent, accurate, and for the most part simple and fairly cheap.

 

Any updates on good options for a sub in the stock location behind the driver's seat?

 

Had a kicker comp vr since they air free air this was back in 03 in G35 sedan in stock sub location with a bunch of dynamat and polyfill. Sounded decent but not powerful.

 

Did you ever get the specs from 350z red???

 

Here's what I built for my '08:





It's covered by the stock Blose grill, which I dynamated on the inside. Clean, tight bass, and just what I was looking for. Not like a pair of 12's, and it's not going to blow the hatch off, but nothing in that location is going to have that sort of power. I was going for accuracy at normal listening volumes while driving.

FULL FIBERGLASS LIGHTWEIGHT CONSTRUCTION, UNLIKE OTHERS.
YOU CAN ALSO ORDER WITH A 13" SLIM SUB AS WELL

Many years of experience with 350Z installations and I will tell you time and time again.

The only good soultion is to have a sub firing down in the 350Z glove box area. (stock location)

We spend days developing this box and we have 100's of these enclosures out there with excellent results.

Not to beat a dead horse but, if you fire forward or up in that area you will be wasting your efforts.
