You’ve got a lot of high end stuff listed. No doubt you have noticed the extreme road noise our Z’s make. Unless you like to listen to tunes while parked is your thing, just a thought.

My Boston z6 fit with room to spare at 2 7/16" depth so I think you should be fine. I used the zenclosures spacer.

I recommended the McIntosh components but I did send him some reply questions asking what he would be listening to and what does he want to get form his system. One question I did forget to ask was what amps are you going to be running.

The road noise is pretty bad, seems like especially bad from the back hatch area. I'm curious for those that have put dynomat all over back there how much of an improvement it was? I guess it's the price you pay for those wide tires, hah.

I totally encased the back hatch area with Dynamat Extreme and did the doors heavy as well. I notice a huge difference with the road noise and if you wanted too you could also add the liner as well.

It helps your sound quality without a doubt.

Since my JL 12w6v2 is usually pounding my azz off, I don't hear the sand hitting my rear wheel wells anymore either....

Normally I would immediately recommend Focal, but you put some nice choices up there. I would have to say the Seas Lotus Performance Kit
and the Dynaudios are the best of all of those you mentioned.

I HIGHLY recommend you sound deaden your car and DONT skimp! It makes a world of difference. The Z is a very noisy car and sound deadning really changes that.

If you are going this high end I would recommend McIntosh or Steg amplifiers.

A high end system is great, and I will be doing one myself as well. To get the most out of the system however, proper sound deadening/road noise reduction is needed in the 370. I'd recommend a combination approach that includes closed cell foam.

I would be running without amps this time I will be completing my audio gear one by one starting from the speakers and maybe to amps then later for a headunit .

Also another thing to add from 2fast4thelaw comment. Make sure you seal up your door panels good to allow the woofers to have a tight enclosure to produce the bass they can.
