Yes the mod is under the grill. There are 4 alignment tabs for the 2.5" square speaker and the opening for the speaker has to be enlarged. We wrapped the pillar and dash grill in black grill cloth so that they blend in like factory.

Jeff, as the custom install manager, what do you think about a custom enclosure that will fit inside the spare tire itself, for those of us that don't want to remove the spare. Something that would fit an 8" or 10" sub like the new slimline Pioneer series?

I personally think that the better choice is going to be removing the foam in the cavity just in front of the spare tire below the strut bar and installing a JL 6W3 ported in that location. It will rock the house! I just need another local car here to test this in. There is enough roon there to install amp and sub. Without going need the spare at all!

Now this I am very interested in! Being able to keep the spare AND have a stealth sub setup so I don't loose trunk space. Please keep us informed when you have tackled this project.

I am considering locating a pair of sub and a small amp in the location you mention above. I interested in the size of the JL 6" of 8" sub box(s) needed whether down firing or ported.

Nice install, great example of what a 370z should be outfitted with.

Appreciate it! Yeah it sounds amazing. Selling this bad boy to Carmax by the end of April if I don't find a buyer before then.
