new HIFI install
so i picked up my car from the importers. got it home cleaned it up.
everything was purchased over a 6 month period. they didnt have the right dash kit for a 350z in germany so i just used the one that came with the head unit. im working with the other piece that came along with it and trying to get it to fit but its alot of cutting and finishing. hope to have more to share with you all soon.

Notice that spdtckts explains the wheel setup earlier in the post. He has the wheels that came with his car and is leaving these in place because he's on poor roadways.
I have the same problem (poor roadways) running a winter wheel/tire setup. That's why I use wheels that tuck the tires well inside the wheel wells. This prevents sand-blasting the side of my car with winter road-sand and debris. It has no effect upon handling, but preserves my car during the winter months and while running on poor roads.

on the compliment and the HIFI comment. It’s becoming difficult to describe an audio system:
- Stereo (right and left channels)
- Quad (right and left front-channels, right and left rear-channels)
- 2+1 (right and left channels, + SubW)
- 4+1 (right and left front-channels, right and left rear-channels, + SubW)
- 5+1 (center channel, right and left front-channels, right and left rear-channels, + SubW)
- 6+1 or 7 (center front-channel, right and left front-channels, center-rear channel, right and left rear-channels, + SubW)
The chronology (not sure about exact dates, but here is an approximation of the decades, + or – 5 years):
- The beginning to the 50’s: Phonograph (analog mono vinyl disks and later, magnetic recording tape)
- Late 50’s to 60’s: High Fidelity (better analog mono vinyl disks and magnetic recording tape)
- Late 60’s to 70’s: Analog stereo, vinyl disks and magnetic tapes
- 80’s: Digital stereo players
- 90’s and after: Digital multi-channel players
The old terminology “High Fidelity” is lost in the new digital age. But, this might be the right time to resurrect a great descriptive for a high-end digital system. But then again, it might be necessary to allow a few more old-timers to die off before using an “old-fashioned” term to avoid confusion.
Hope I didn’t jack spdtckts’ thread, but I couldn’t resist addressing the HIFI comments.

^^ Quadrophonic you say… I was one of the dummies who bought that. Mine was a 4-channel Sansui receiver/amp. I realized my mistake when the only available recordings where two channel stereo.
