I will sacrifice some quality of sound for the safety of my vehicle. Yes, you are correct the Nismo or any 370z in particular already attracts peoples attention but if they look through the window and see nothing that is valuable to them I keep myself from paying for a broken window. Not to mention I live in an apartment which is more open to the public at all times. Even though it is a nice area you can never be too safe. Now back to my original question. What amp would be good to run this set up?
Your going to need either a audio control, a LOC, or a amp that can accept high input (speaker level) sense your factory head unit does not have rca's out.


If your adding a sub and speakers this is a good option.

Rockford Fosgate R600X.5 (R600X5) 600W 5-Chan Class AB D Prime Amp

or this one

Alpine MRX-V70 (MRXV70) 5-Channel X-Power Series Car Amplifier

They both have speaker level inputs so you would just have to tap both sets of speakers behind the head unit and run them to the amp, than run new speaker wire from the amp to your new speakers.
