Angry changed my rear speakers, what was nissan thinking

I did all the research before i set out to do this as to not crack and of the interior pieces. I have done speakers in alot of cars, but never had to take so much apart like i had to yesterday in my 03 350z. It took alot of patience but i got it done in about 2 hours, I am please I did , sounds much cleaner and I still have not changed the stock bose head unit, but that is next .

That is probably the most restrictive component, in terms of performance.

yea the rear speakers are a major PITA to get to. It's because of them that I know how to tear apart my entire interior without thinking.

"what was nissan thinking" They were thinking the speakers are awesome and thus you wouldn't want to change them out

I just tore out my interior and door panels today as well since my Amazon boxes have been rolling in. My finger tips have never been so sore and I never thought I'd actually be crunched up in my own trunk

btw if you ever remove the Bose sub and want to gain some extra storage, you can get a replacement glove box liner and door from nissan. After I took the subW bracket off I moved the glove box over just to see and it will bolt up just like the other side.

Here's a quick tip! Save time, frustrating and money by just disconnecting them alltogether. Take that money and time and invest in a nice set of components and an amplifier for the front speakers instead. Where the rear speakers ar situated is pretty silly and ineffective in my opinion.
