Long time customer of 5 years contacted me for a install on his newest car. In the past we have done active setups, tried new speakers such as the pioneer stage 4's but we decided to get back to basics and go with a high end component pair. He told me he wanted bone shaking bass so we decided to go with a pre build JL box with a W7 anniversary edition as well as upgrade the factory alternator. I recommended a set of K2 Focals for the front and to use his old Audison LRX 2.4k. We decided to go with a perfect fit kit and the Alpine X008U which I have to say is an amazing kit with a simple plug and play installation. Sense we went all out with a good quality set of components it was decided to do second skin luxury liner pro as well as damplifier. Onto the photos.


The toys.
Alpine X008U
Alpine PDX-M12
Audison LRX 2.4
Focal Ks 6.5's
KnuKoncepts 0 gauge OFC
Stinger RCA's
Stinger Speaker wire
Quality Power 240a Alternator
JL HO112R-12W7-3 (HO box + JL 12W7 combo)
Second Skin damplifier and Luxury liner pro

The old


Pulled out and ready for the new 8 inch screen



Getting ready for damplifier and new speaker wire.



Power wire ran




New alternator installed. (not by me)




Crappy stock speakers GONE.




Mat done by customer as assistance and to help out.










New stinger PRO speaker wire ran.


All wires in line


The old tweeters had a nice mount made however it was all in one. After drilling and filed smooth for a pressure tight fit.



New tweeters were pressure installed along with pipe dope to keep the secure.


Speakers ready for install.






All torx head screws were used.







The old and the new.


Some...modifications had to be made to fit the two amps in the storage area.





Amps were a seriously tight fit with no clearance to spare.


Bass knob installed for a stealth look.

Default HU Gap

Any ideas on what I can do to limit the gap around the HU? It's a Kenwood DPX791BH

It came with two trim pieces, one for Toyota and the standard both to big. It's mounted using the stock bracket and dash pieces.

Use the Schoche dash kit there will be no gap

Been a while sense I have posted updates. Up first a 370Z that was wrapped, I sealed it with 22ple and did a full detail on it minus the polishing.

Next up is a install I did about a month ago for one of our members that is over seas right now. He will be enjoying it soon enough.

New head unit installed everything soldered and heat shrunk metra aswc-1 was used for steering wheel controls.




Bass knob was installed for adjustment on the fly.


Installed the RF amp in a cutout of the foam for steal installation.


Power wire ran


Zenclosure box installed with Arc Audio sub.

Last week I finished up a full system that was probably one of the hardest hitting systems I have done in a Z by far. 2 JL W3's shared 1100 watts of pure power. However with a simple twist of the knob the system could turn into a SQ based system.



New head unit






Both amps are hidden under the seats with plenty of air flow.







Reverse camera installed and extra cabling was tucked under center.


Kenwood camera is installed in a steal factory location.


Ran through factory grommet


Inside the sub box wires were soldered and heat shrunk to provide maximum connection.

Ends conencted to box were cleaned up.


Both subs installed in a zenclosure box.


New speaker wire ran



New focal speakers installed with sound dampener.




Everything installed and ready to rock

Default Full Audio Build Completed along with Detail

Yo Matt... just wanted to say a big thank you for all your help ... car sounds fantastic and that bass really kicks! Can't seem to wipe this smile from my face. Everything is nice and hidden except for the subs of course but the Zenclosures make them look like they belong in the car. This simply blows the OEM bose system away and I couldn't be happier.

It's so nice to have the V1 and dash cam hard wired besides the aesthetics of not having wires hanging all over the place but my dash cam is now functional when parked and I'm free to use the stock power again. I like the fact you can control the base with a turn of the knob from a nice punchy base sound to the insane (mess up your hair, massage your back) mode. It's sick. Having the head unit replace my stock HU also allowed me to integrate a GPS and backup camera which is extremely useful...again, no need for a separate GPS hanging on the windshield taking up space.

Finally was able to get out and enjoy the day yesterday and took some pictures of the Z. That detail with polish and sealant really makes the paint shine. Can't wait to meet up with the rest of the guys in NJ here and show them how excellent this all turned out.
