The pictures on Amazon of the B08VJ7NZYY look like the dash plug in my car, so I’m gonna try it. I’d like to eliminate my DIY harnesses as a potential point of failure. I also ordered extra harnesses for both the door and the dash so I can make adapters to plug directly into my audio interface...

The harsh reality is, tariffs or not, you can’t compete with slave labor. We should be focusing on beating China to AI and robotics instead of trying to create manufacturing jobs like it’s 1970.

Yes, I went with the 2.75”, same as you. I’m certain that the wire polarity is correct, I quadruple checked! I’m not sure if direction matters for crossovers, but regardless, I know they are still in the original orientation because I didn’t touch the side of the Pioneer harness that has the...

Trump could run for a 3rd term, win, serve the four additional years and still be out of office before someone could spin up a brand new auto manufacturing plant in US. Nissan's lead time on a new model vehicle is ~4 years to build it at a plant that already exists. The idea that you can just...

I completed the speaker install over the weekend. I won’t bury the lead; the results are not very impressive, especially considering what I spent. TLDR; Dash speakers: Louder than stock, but in a harsh way. Lots of spikes in the upper frequencies giving a shrill overall character. If I hadn't...

Yes, the 3.5” rear speakers are 4 ohm. It’s only the front door speakers that are 2 ohm.

It would definitely wake them up, but who knows if the amp could handle it. I don’t want to assume that just because the door channel can handle a 2 ohm load, so could the rear channel. I’d hate for you to damage your amp! IMO, if you replace the door speakers with some aftermarket 2 ohms it’ll...

@Mugzilla, I was prepping for the install and made an interesting discovery… While the dash and rear speakers are 4 ohms, the factory door speakers are 2 ohm. Makes sense, since they would want most of the power directed to the biggest drivers, but I had never considered there would be speakers...

That shot is mostly just for science. ? Probably impractical, but you never know. In the studio, the answer is almost always more sound treatment before better speakers. I’ll also probably do an aftermarket dash speaker + stock door speaker shot since the consensus seems to be that’s where the...

I’ve got everything on the way to do the front speaker replacement. No amps or DSP for now, just going to see how much improvement there is just with the speakers. I picked up a bunch of sound deadening material as well, so we’ll see what difference that makes. I do audio engineering on the...

I’m curious, do you know for sure that the rears have a crossover, or is that speculation based on them sounding so anemic? I was thinking about testing the signal of the rear speaker wires to confirm if they are full range or not. On another note, I was digging through the service manual...

Bummer, that was my suspicion, but I figured I’d ask. In that case I believe I’ll do door and dash speakers similar to you. As for the rears, they are useless anyways, so I’ll disconnect them and use the signal for a couple subs in stereo behind the seats.

Bumping this instead of making a new thread. Mugzilla, thanks for taking the time to document all of this. Very hard to find info on the Sport audio system. Does anyone know if there is a separate amp somewhere in the Sport? Or is it built into the head unit? I was hoping I could tap into the...

It was my first mod as well! Ordered it day one. :cool:

Made it official yesterday! Dealer in Nashville had one listed for $7,500 below MSRP. Thought it was too good to be true, but I went up there and they honored it!

Obsessed with this color since I prefer the solid colors and always thought the Z wore blue well. And the prestige of the GTR color is just really special. Been scouring the internet and found this. Might be the first really good look at Bayside.

Hello, new member here. Not currently a Z owner, but will be in the future. Was looking for one a little over a year ago, but never could get anywhere with all the dealer ADM shenanigans. Ended up in a BRZ, which I really enjoy, but it wasn’t enough to scratch the Z itch! I have been a Nissan...
