370Z Speaker Setup
 

Does anyone have any concrete info on the speaker setup for the 370z?

I believe the 350z had 6.5" fronts with 1.5" tweeters along with another set of 6.5"'s in the back and even a blose sub in the back center. I understand that the "Touring" model will have the "nicer" Bose system, but the sizing would still be the same I'd assume. Regardless, I will cut the frame to make them fit, I just hope there's enough depth where I don't have to build serious MDF baffles again.

If this is the case, putting rear speakers in would kill the soundstage. A quality set of 6.5" components in the front and a solid subwoofer in the back would do the trick. I would love to fit the sub enclosure under that crossbar and have the amps mounted right behind the seats. That'd look awesome and with such a small cabin, sound as amazing as my RSX-S does with a full eD stereo.

i know the blowes sub will be under the spare tire.

Oh ok, so it's like the RSX then in that sense. I'll definitely be taking that out for some weight reduction haha. I just hope that the navigation market improves a bit by then. There are few systems that have high preout voltages and good navigation, most are one or the other.

from looking at it in person the sub is ontop of the spare, maybe screwed into it or something. i hope your can remove the spare and still have the sub as i usually remove the spare for 'weight reduction' :driving:

the sub is ON TOP of the spare? so when u go to get the spare, you have to un plug and remove the sub? that wouldnt be a smart design at all. I've seen pictures with the spare removed and theres what looks like a sub lying face down. i'll try to find pics.

Oiy... I don't like that. That wouldn't be a good design... May have to custom something out because I'd rather run on run-flats than have the spare under the sub.

On top of that, I would be leaving the sound system stock. That's usually the LAST thing I mod. So I hope the system sounds good...

A thought I had was maybe the spare tire acts as part of the sub.... Like a sub box. Probably not... Just bad designing.

Ok I found the picture. Judging by this picture, the sub woofer is face down, UNDER where the spare tire goes. http://www.z33driver.com/images/370z/IMG_1327.JPG

looks face up and ontop of the spare

Looking at this video, it looks like it's above the spare tire... Though, not sure which direction it's pointing.

def pointing up

oh my bad. yeah its definately on top of the spare. what a retarded design. i guess nissan thought we'd be more likely to upgrade the sub woofer than use the spare tire...??

I think they are trying to save trunk space by using the space that would be otherwise wasted inside the spare wheel... I think its ingenious... don't see why you think it is "retarded".

well, because if all our facts are right, you'll have to remove the sub to get to the spare. i don't see any wires or connectors or pivoting arm in the picture, so i'm not exactly sure how this is gonna work.

I have a feeling the sub wont be hard to remove to get to the tire...it shouldn't be a problem. Remember, smart engineers designed this car...

I thought there were 2 subs in the car?

Specs say 8 speaker system.

2 in front, 2 tweets, 2 in rear, and dual subs? I am guessing it's the amp in the spare tire for the subs.

They remove it in that video in my other post on this thread. There's a small connection you simply unplug. It looks like those old people were able to do it with very little effort. They get to the spare. It doesn't look complicated at all.

+1
from what i saw from the video . I fell it is easy to remove the spare tire .

I was thinking the same thing. I can't see that being the amp in there, as it's only sub wiring running into the case. Perhaps they managed to put two subs in the enclosure, one facing up and one facing down?

Eklypze, you are replying to a 3 year old thread, my friend! Just a heads up!
