It sounds amazing. And yes it CAN be a lot of bass. That's why I got the remote bass control. I can turn it all the way off, or I can shake my mirror off. lol. Yes, some of my rear view vision is blocked, but I have gotten used to it by now, and don't even notice it now.

Why did you decide to use the woofer in that way?

Ha, you guys can rip me if you want. Everyone wants their Z their own way, and this is how I always have wanted mine. As far as the woofer, I went for a visual appeal as the car has been in some local car shows. I also wanted an original look. I've had it for almost a year and a half now and have not had any probelms. I throw a black towel over it when I park, and with the tent, you can't even see the box or sub.

Cool! Q: Do you feel any difference making your high speed corners coming out of ramps now since you have the spoiler. Just trying to see if you feel any difference compared to when you didn't?

Trying to go for a spoiler, although it's not the most sexiest one out of all it's performance part might interest me rather than it's look this time. So let me know man.

I might be alone on this, but I love the nismo wing. It gives the car a more aggressive look, and looks a heck of a lot better than the lip spoiler that you can get as well. I noticed that it does help in corners, but I can't give you a 100% honest answer, as I got the wing on 2 days after I purchased the car. So I don't really know what it's like without one.

^^^ I see, hm well let us know after you take some serious nice high speed corners. Because my Z really lacks in that department. I feel like the back end of it comes up when i'm cornring then lands on the ground and specially you mix it up with little breaking then you are screwed so I need to do something. I don't like the Wing either but if it's going to solve my cornering problem I might have to settle for it.

I guess I didn't put enough emphasis. The wing does more than enough to keep the back end of my car from sliding around. I have taken many high speed corners, and never have worried about my back end losing traction. I can almost say 100% that it adds enough weight to the car, to keep my confidence when cornering fast.
