My new 2024 Sport model speakers.....

[Brett]

I just found and logged on to this forum. Just bought a new 2024 Z. Graphite and had them put a rear spoiler on it. That really dresses the sport up a bit to my eye. For new owners: I am just starting to push mine to a some limits here and there. Only has about 850 mile or so. I am not blasting through all the gears yet . I'm slowly turning her loose for a good break in. May not be necessary, but why not treat a great car right. Right ? A couple of cautions. Be careful with the breaks on the sport . Don't go into corners hard immediately until you get a feel for the brakes. They are a bit weak on the sport for the power and torque and need some respect. I had mine start to fish tale in the rear end going into a 90 degree turn. Get a feel for them until you feel you know their limits. Its about 5 grand for the performance brake kit. Too much for me, I also felt the rear end break loose bit in 3rd with the Yokahamas, so it's not out of the realm of possibility to spin out the car or worse . You have to get on it pretty hard to make that happen. BUT I did feel it break loose just a tad.
My main bitch are the speakers. Man, they suck in the sport model. I saw a thread where some guys had done a few simple speaker changes and achieved great sound quality improvement. If anyone can point me to that thread, that would be great and much appreciated. The car delivers. Period. The sport model is GREAT for those who don't want or need any extra electronics tech. gadgetry. The car is built around what ,so far, looks to be a great engine with plenty of juice to get your adrenaline pumping a bit. I say it's like getting on a Disney ride every time you get behind the wheel. Glad to be a part of the club. I looked at Mustangs, Camaros, and the Z. I feel STRONGLY I chose the right car. It may not come off a straight line like a Mustang or Camaro, but it's a lot more fun to drive. I could go on. I like to write so I'll shut up and close. Anyone who knows what speaker thread, or threads I am talking about please send me that direction. Much appreciated, I'm going for a drive tonight. I can already feel a bit of excitement building. This car is fun !

@Brett I have the Sport also. I havent touched mine yet. With the limited info I have found. The rears behind the seats are 4.5", and the fronts are 6.5" components.

Not many companies, if it all make 4.5" speakers. Either upgrade to 5.25" or go with 4".

 

[Brett]

Will those sizes fit without making a big mess ?

 

[Who.Am.Eye.2716]

4" speaker will need a bracket to fit where the 4.5" speaker sits. Not sure about 5.25" since I havent removed the panel

Right now, I have my fade set to 90% front sound stage. The rear struggles during drum/bass beats

Post some pics of your Z! Congrats on choosing the right car.

Did Nissan add a LSD to the 24 sport?

No LSD for the '24

I know it’s not stereo related, but my recommendation is to purchase some Michelin Pilot Sport S’s for your car. Amazing grip.

The stereo 100 percent is pathetic. Other forum members have noted that changing the spare wheel sub helps. I would imagine a speaker upgrade would go a long way too.
Mine is all stock but I’m lurking on some upgrades. The BOsE is totally shizen don’t feel like you’re missing out.

Thanks for that note. I was wondering if I missed out with the Bose system. Their stuff is always over-priced and over-rated. Not saying it's bad, but you can get stuff just as good or better for less.

I just made this same post. Why on earth would a car company use some non-standard speaker size?!

Tagscribing for hopefully a solution.

So, for SPORT audio. Are these the speaker sizes?

- 4.5" rear speakers.
- 6.5" door speakers.
- 2.75" dash speakers.

Not sure about the rears. I dont plan on using them so I didnt dig into them. Im not 100% sure if the rears are 4.5" or 4"

Heres some pics of the front on a Sport

Quick update:

The rear speakers on the sport are 3.5". The size is 3.5". No more, no less. 4.5" is right out. [/Monty Python Holy Grail reference]

So, for SPORT audio. These are the speaker sizes:

- 3.5" rear speakers.
- 6.5" door speakers. (Need a new spacer, as the stock spacer is PART of the stock speaker).
- 2.5" dash speakers. (You CAN make 2.75" with a little modification to the clamp nuts.....)

No wonder why the rears sounds weak and distorted at higher volume.

I'll probably do 1" or 1.25" dash tweaters
