+1 rep to you my friend, what a great video. If I didn't already have an amp and speaker upgrade done to my stock head unit I would do it myself after watching that. I decided to stick with the stock head unit just for the fact that I want to concentrate on performance on this car as opposed to my Infiniti FX http://www.the370z.com/audio-video/1...eadunit-2.html. I went nuts with that car, dual video monitors, play station 2 that slides out from under the front seat, integrated the front nav screen for video and games and a sound system that would knock your socks off.
. I will be using your vid on the cubby removal so that I can hard wire my nav unit that I have hidden in the cubby. Thanks for the help.
Kindest regards,
Tom

Hi Nik, I realized that the enclosure sold by ZEnclosures has 1.18 cu ft and the recommended by JL Audio for the 12W6v2 is 1.25 cu ft. Did you feel any loss of quality or power? I'm thinking serious to get the same enclosure for me since it fits better than the factory one made by JL.

Thanks and congrats for the videos... I'm still taking courage to make it by myself. lol

Not at all Rockhounds, it slams hard in that box. I love mine. I put some poly fill in the box but really don't think it made a difference.

Ok, just bought mine from ZEnclosures. By the way they shipped really fast... I bought it yesterday at 11PM and this morning around 9AM I received an e-mail with the tracking number - incredible!
I have another question for you: my system includes a Pioneer Z110BT, a pair of Focals Polyglass 165 VR 6.5", JL Audio HD 900/5 and JL Audio 12W6v2. The power wire I'm using is the JL Metawire 4 gauge for a single amp but I'm stuck on the RCA cables... I'm seeing a bunch of Streetwires Zero Noise with different channels. I'll bridge the 4 channels for the midwoofers/tweeters and the mono channel goes to the sub. Should I have to get a Zero Noise 9 for 4 channels?

Is there a better way to get everything hooked up?

Thanks!

Audio system installed today guys. It's beating up... the Focals are incredible and I'm happy with the 12W6v2 but the enclosure could be a little bit better in my opinion. I've noticed also that when I'm not listening music, there is a small background noise like "shhhhh" that I'm not sure whether is normal or not. I took the car to bestbuy but I don't know if that was the best option.

Can anyone put a video on how to program the PAC-swi-JACK for a kenwood NAV?

BIG help
 
these vids are aweesome and saved my butt when doing my wn install.
Quick questions...when replacing just the door speakers, and not the head unit, how can I tell which speaker wires are positive and negative?
also, if my car did not come with rear speakers, is there already a place for them and do the interior panels work for adding rear speakers?
Thanks for any help,

i believe I guessed....

there are holes in the back ... but there is no cables ... so you have to run the cables your self...
I can't remember the size.. but they are smaller than the ones in the doors...

wow!!....first time lookin at this thread. nice vids!!

+1 rep for you, sir. :tiphat:

Sweet videos. I am in the process of installing Components and a new Headunit at the moment.

For the tweeter mounts. I just used a plastic DVD case, cut it to shape and mounted the tweeters to it. Works like a charm.

Thank you for the videos, SlikNik. They helped me a great deal when I installed my HU yesterday.

your videos was great i just had one question, what did you use for the steering wheel controls

SlikNik 12-03-2010 08:25 AM

didn't bother installing that feature, there is plenty of info on that subject. Just type in a search for steering wheel controls.
