sooo i just got my z about 2 weeks ago... last week i ordered some aftermarket speakers/ DblDin Head unit and sub still waiting on the amps.... they arrived day b4 yesterday
took em to the nearest audio shop... guy gave me ridiculous price for installation of jus 2 rear speakers and headunit...
so i though y not do it myself, chcked out some DIY's here and here is the final result... any feedback is appriciated...

i didnt wait for the amp because even once i get the amp box is going to take long time 2 make... tryin 2 get a nice custom fiberglass one done. for time being i installed the headunit and 2 rear speakers.


here are the parts


finally found the speed wire


The final Outcome





also bypassed it... it wasnt as hard as i though it would be...
satisfied with the unit loving the sound quality as it iz, cant wait tillt he box is ready... and the amps are in

 

I envy you. I have the z3, which is awesome, the previous gen of that. Heard it was so much better too.

Really good buy. Looks really good.

Not the biggest fan of pioneer speakers but i see those are atleast premiers

 

Everyone has their own tastes, but just out of curiosity.......

Why all Pioneer equipment? Do you get EPP? Are you sponsored by them?

 

that looks PERFECTO. congrats.

 

Good job on diy those shops are ridiculous. the rear speakers are a waste they just ruin the rear stage and conflict with the front.Most guys dont even have them connected. You were better off getting components for the front and while the door panel was off dynamat or at a minimum get a speaker kit(makes a huge difference in SQ. The speakers will sound 10x once hooked up to an amp

 

Nice!!

 

did u take the 3rd picture at 47mph??

 

i have used almost everything from AVIC N1 to D3..
i havnt used Avic-z seriers besides 110bt.. but my roomate has z2 and compared to his mine is INSANELY fast....
compared to anything i have used to far.. i mean alpines to kenwood.... to anything is the fastest responsive unit i have used...
but only thing is they took away some of the nice features from before... featuers like vehicle dynamics.

hahah iwish i was...
i used to have sponsershipp back in a dayy like 5 yrs ago when avic n1 came out. everything i had in my maxima was pioneer, and once the settings are set right in my opinion soundss the best. atleast satisfies my needs.


THankx man, it was all thanks to the write ups on this website.

yeahh i didnt even realie i was goin 47 untill u pointed it out.. i guess cuz that road is sooo smooth never realize the speed.. pluss stillg ettin used to the Z
