I'd be interested in this too! In my last car it took me three weeks to find the right vinyl company and color #.

I was going to wait on this part but I think I just found my next mod................

Did they leave the factory head unit???? (I may have missed that in a post due to drooling over the pics, sorry)

Yeah, it sounds REALLY good. The Dynaudios are finally starting to break in and the midrange is popping out more. I may still go +2db on it. I took the tweeter -2db already because of the stock headunit's bias.

Next thing I'm probably going to do is get a McIntosh MD4000 CD changer, and mount a display to control it in the NAV compartment....

You mean Jimmy Walker, right? Why do people automatically assume any famous line from a blaxaploitation movie was said by Shaft?

Anywho, I'm not a big fan of aftermarket "systems" but that install looks pretty good. That upsidedown driver in the back looks kinda weird, and a bit too "busy" but it's a VERY pro install. More powah to ya, as off the show floor, there is waaaay too much room in the hatch.

Holy crap! You'd totally right. You know, when I was typing that, I was like "this wasn't Shaft, was it..." but I couldn't remember who said it.

Thanks for the compliment... I think if you saw it in person you would thinks it's definitely *not* "busy" since my main objective was to make a clean, "stock" looking install. The pics, though simple, make it look even flashier than it really is...

It sounds pretty good too...

nates install requires mad fibreglass and crazy skills. Thats why he paid someone else, because if you are not an EXPERT at fibreglass then youll never get it right.

Hey Jay, what's up! So when are you getting your Z anyways?


Ingenious installers are not easy to come by and when it's the 350Z, you *really* don't want them screwing things up. Those kick panels are the **** man. Seriously.
Thanks man! They sounds great too, and I love the fact that most people don't notice them until I point them out, and they're like "oh, crap".

Like Rob said, I could probably create some diagrams, but in all honesty it probably wouldn't help us much. The amount of effort that went into the kick panels alone was staggering. It took them over a week and a half to do just the back sub box, not counting the vinyl trim...

Did they use your factory kick panels or did they make a mold of it. And if they still have the mold is there anyway i could get the number to call them to have the shop ship me some kick panels

They used the stock ones and cut them out then built on them... if you look thru the pics you'll see how they did it. Still, feel free to call Street Noyz 619-260-1747 and ask for Chad. He may be able to work something out. I believe he's out Mon but try Tues.

I've always wondered about this. (Especially since I'm basically in the same situation with my current setup.) When a person gets a flat and doesn't have a spare, what does AAA do when they get there? Tow your car to a shop and have the tire fixed? What if it's the middle of the night and there are no shops?

Default PIMP system cost?

At the risk of seeming crass, could you give us an idea of what the cost was to install the custom system. And please none of that "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" stuff. Just kidding. I too find the stock Bose system a sorry excuse for a "premium" car system. In addition to cost considerations, I am paranoid about having any aftermarket "experts" touch my car. I would have to find out their parentage, breeding, schooling and complete experience record before letting them pull the Zeezer apart. Those pics are pretty scary for a new vehicle. But like the man said, no risk, no gain. Enjoy the sounds!
PS:
I guess now you can't get much more than a six pack in the rear hatch?!

Damn, that's a lot. Seems like it was well spent though. Somebody else posted here wanting to know if StreetNoyz was any good, I could remember somebody had a great install done there, I couldn't remember who....


Nice.

Default amp

Nice install! I've been looking at Dynaudios for a long time. What's the output on that Zapco amp? I know those Dynaudios handle a lot of watts.

great system, great car
