just got done with yet another 350z...

the goals:

1. good sound quality on a budget
2. total stealth, meaning ideally, nothing is visible normally.
3. some show factor


the package consists of:

eclipse cd5444 supplied by customer
DLS ultimate Up36 3 way component set
dual ED nine2x
single ED 11ov2 10" sub

lets get started:

first the front stage, the midbass was installed in the stock lower door location, and the midrange and tweeter flush mounted into the kicks, overall this set up like always, provides a high sound stage and good smoothness across the range.





of course the main attraction is the trunk, as stated before, the main goal is a completely hidden install...so here is what it looks like when the trunk is opened. as you can see, the floor was barely rased an inch, and the stock trunk mat still fits fine...saving virtually all the cargo space and definetly pretty stealthy:






now lest take a look at whats below the stock carpet

the entire floor is done in black suede. a grille clothed cover upfront, and two vinyled cover on the back...providing a solid floor to load things onto:





now lets get those covers off and go into show mode

11ov2 is flush mounted in a white vinyl trimmed baffle, and the dual nine2x are exposing their circuitry. waht i did was an old school type of thing, basically remove the bottom cover off the amp, adn then make a new cover with plexi. with these amps, i also unscrewed the top logo plate, trimed the screws so they wont protrude past the plate into the plexi, and secured them to the top of hte amp, a little extra touch never hurts two fans constantly blow air across the amps to provide cooling and i deliberaly left about a 1/4" gap around all the fake floor to allow air to escape and recirculate.











one final pic, since i got a few PM and emails asking to see waht the install looks like beneath the floor, about how i do wires, and if i run them cleanly...

well here you go no flying wires everywhere in this car



enjoy.

Yet another one. Amazing.

If there was a shop in my area that cranked out installs that are well thought out, quality equipment, installed in a very classy and functional way, I am not sure I would have ever started doing my own work.


Keep up the awesome work.

Go Bing....again.

[16psibrick]

[Mr X]

You are the man.

[WiseGuy]

wow. I love the set up. except the white vinyl : /

props to you man....another bad ass install.

[Thewacokid]

**** that looks nice.

[Mless5]

Very stealth and clean, but OMG those pedals look CHEAP!

[EVNLDR]

that is a sweet setup I may do the same thing in my kicks...

[16psibrick]

hehe white vinyl cov er was just for fun really...it didnt really matter since the only time the covers would be on would be when the carpet is over them... i had left over vinyl and did it

what pedals, you mean the stock pedals? yeah this is a base Z no options in sight

looks great.

Did the DLS's need much tweeking to image well? I'm about to go ahead and finally put a new front stage in my 300zx. Since I have a 5 speed, I have next to no room in the kicks, so I decided to go with a hlcd setup. I've already got a set of cd1 pro minihorns, and I will be getting a set of peerless 8" midbasses to go with them.

Besides the horns, my other option was the DLS 2.5" mid and twee from the Iridium 3-way sets. They would take up no space in the kicks, and I could probably even keep the dead pedal free. If the horns get annoying for daily driving(a test fit wasn't bad, but i'm not sure if I could live with them daily), I might still try them.

How much does it cost to have that done? I'd give my right leg for my car to look that good.
