Nissan 370z Nismo - Speaker Options?
 

Hello all,

I've 370z Nismo with Kenwood DNX9140 & subwoofer/amp installed. Front speakers have been running off the HU. I'm now planning to upgrade front & rear speakers. I will be still running the speakers off the Kenwood HU. I'm more into Alpine & Polk Audio brands but my questions are that which speakers are good for my 370z Nismo? and sizes for front and rear speakers? Thanks much.

The polk speakers work like a charm; for the sub size & brand, Alpine Type R 10" will do fantastic. The Nismo doesn't have rear speakers BTW; I'm in the process of having Bigaudiofanat install & wire rear speakers for me. He's our very own professional installer on the forum when it comes down to A/V.

I already have the HU, 12" subwoofer, and the amp (just for 12" subwoofer) installed. I am now planning to upgrade the factory front speakers, tweeters & rear speakers (if any in Nismo). My first brand option is Alpine. Second is Polk Audio. Which models are good for front & rear speakers? and the sizes for front/tweeter and rear speakers?

I have experience with the Polk as I'm running their full set including tweeters. I highly recommend them based on my experience

birdmanx1,

What are the sizes for tweeters, front and rear speakers for Nismo 370z? Also, if you dont mind sharing, what are model numbers for your Polk Audio front and rear speakers? Thanks

Tweeters are 1 inch, you have to mod the tweeter braket a bit to use them but that is with any component set. Here is the link to those.

Amazon.com: Polk Audio DB6501 6.5-Inch 2-Way Component System (Pair, Silver): Electronics

bigaudiofanat,

So the front speaker size is 6.5" ? no spacers are needed? What about mounting depth?

If I remember correctly, you've recommended me to get the component ALPINE front speakers. I dont remember the model number though. Any ideas on this? I know you're not a fan of rear speakers but do you happen to know the size for rear speakers? Thanks!

Nope no spacers are needed for THESE speakers bigger ones do need a spacer.

I think they are 3 1/4, alpine and polk make good speakers I think of polk as being a better buy HOWEVER if I remember correctly I think you were going to run them off an amp in the future if that is the case go with the alpine type r's of the polk mm's.

Good stuff Matt, we need to plan on having you down here for my rear set :tup:

Yes SIIIRRRRRRRRRR

AweZome!!!! :tup:

is there a rear speaker grill on the nismo ? or do you have to cut out a hole etc ?

I have had Boston Acoustics separates and they were great. From reading around I found multiple post with people stating there are spots for 3 1/2 inch speakers behind the seats.

All the z's have the grill only the bose system has the speaker wire ran an and actual speaker there.

Out of 23 z's I have worked on I have installed 0 rear speakers. Just to give you an idea of how many really need it.

im pretty sure your sub would drown out the back speakers anyways....
