Its not that hard to have an aftermarket stereo system look like it came with the car. If you do aftermarket system go all the way and do it right otherwise you will not be happy.

I recommend the following: (I will not suggest brands as it only creates an argument on here)


1. (1) Double Din sized head unit

2. (1) 4-channel amplifier (75X4 to 100X4) watts RMS is perfectly adequate.

3. (1) Set of 2-way 6-1/2" component speakers

4. (1) In-spare tire subwoofer enclosure with an 8" or 10" subwoofer depending on how much bass you want and how low you want it.

If you want your Z to be quiter inside I highly recommend sound deadning. It makes a huge difference and makes the Z much more refined.

What about the tweeters? Shouldn't they be replaced as well?

Absolutely, A component speaker set is made up of seperate tweeters, mid-woofers, and crosover modules.
