you'll laugh when they show you the speakers that come out of your car. In one of my albums, I have pictures from when I was trying to sell it. LOL. Best of luck & let us know what you go with.. no matter what installer you go with.

I just had a system installed in my Nismo last week. I went to Custom Car Sounds (I think that is the name) over on I-10 and Kirkwood. The installers there are good and I stayed all day while they worked on my car. They had the entire interior pulled out. Kind of scary but they did a great job.
I didn't want the nav so I opted for the Pioneer P3400BH which has everything but nav. Like Jenny said, the factory speakers are a joke. I don't think you could pick up a paper clip with the magnets on them. I went with Alpine component speakers for the doors and upper tweets. We tried to retro fit something for the rear but couldn't get anything to work because of the contours of the rear panels. I didn't want any speakers showing. I also got a Memphis Audio amp for power and they mounted it behind my drivers side seat. Along with that, I had a rear camera installed with sensors that all mount inside the license plate frame, and the image shows on the radio screen. Last, I manufactured a mount for my 10" Sub in the rear that goes under the carpet and in the spare tire area (with the spare still in place) For the type of music I listen to (rock) it sounds great! Actually one more last thing. I had them put some LED clusters behind the reflectors in the doors so when they open, they light up. |

Dan -- sounds impressive!! Im getting LEDs at the end of this year too.. going with red. did you go with a color or white?
I got a backup camera too - now I want one on the front end. I agree about being scary when they pulled all the interior out.. I couldnt watch.

The infinity 3.5 kappas fit behind the rear covers with a little plastic removal behind the panel. I can do the LEDs in the car any color. Doors switch, ignition, cluster, AC, triple cluster. I did my 370 sport in blue, but I am thinking of doing the NISMO in red. Orange is so drab. |

If you want to see my setup, my car is currently at Baker Nissan (North). If you stop by and ask for Paul Morgan he will show you the interior if you want.

Haha thats awesome! I bought my car at the same dealer! Maybe when I pick up my plates I'll check them both out!!!!
Also JennyT any chance your car has been at Baker Nissan since last Friday? When I picked my car up one of them said they also had a white nismo in the back. Last edited by Unexpectedfar; 09-10-2012 at 02:20 PM. |
