Nissan 370Z Forum  

First Arizona Thread....

I have the rearfacing Zenclosure box. I thought the upfire would be deafening. I am running a Kicker L7 12 and it should pound. Plus the sound should roll off

I have the rearfacing Zenclosure box. I thought the upfire would be deafening. I am running a Kicker L7 12 and it should pound. Plus the sound should roll off the hatchback toward the front. We will soon find out. I was also given som advice from the guy on here that does all the stereo consults, he said never mount you amp tp your box it does bad things to the internals of the amp. Sounds reasonable.

Hmmmm... my problem is I have 2x 10" L7's, and I don't wanna use one and have the other just sitting around... lol Kinda wasteful. So I'd like to be able to use both, but Zen doesn't make a rear facing box for 2x 10"s dammit!

Then I dunno where else I could mount the amp... its rather large lol. I've never heard that before? I don't see how it could damage it internally being mounted to the box as opposed to the car?

Hey guys, I'm down for something friday night if there is something going on. I have to go help my older bro finish the closet he's building for his wife Saturday because he broke his arm and she gets home monday (I guess it's a surprise for her) so I'll be working all day sat...

I have to work Friday so if you want to swing by I will be there. Saddly I cant leave til around 4 am. The closet work sounds like a really cool thing to do for the fam lots of respect points there. I totally understand the box dilemma I have an extra L7 12 I cant use now too. I thought 2 may fit I was wrong. I will sell it one day, maybe. I just decided it is hard to answer multiple posts without writing run on sentences.

It's about half done. It's mostly screwing things to the wall and putting the shelving together now.

I'm in the same boat. I just bought my 370Z and I've got a single JL Audio 13W7 and two 10" Kicker L7's. I don't want to use a single 10" L7 and I don't think the 13W7 will fit.
