Rob_Quads Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 Nice and simple. If you want to retain your steering controls - http://www.sextonsdirect.co.uk/ict/p~29-645.html?cat=0 + Adapter for the make of head unit When connecting it up don't connect up the RCAs as you will ne using after market amps. This will do power and steering controls Double Din Facia - http://www.sextonsdirect.co.uk/autolead ... html?cat=0 Quote
ChrisUUC Posted July 30, 2010 Author Posted July 30, 2010 So thats all I need to do the swap ... ? Cheers dude appreciate the help. Quote
Rob_Quads Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 Yup those 3 parts should be it. When you install it you may well need to wire up a ground lead as most 350z don't come with one in the factory loom (stupid bloody nissan) Quote
H5 Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 Only thing I would add is think forward. If you are buying a head unit and you want to be able to set it up then it will need some sort of decent EQ! Buying twice is always more expensive than buying right once.... Mine is set up via laptop using Alipne software. Not quite as good as I had it when I did it manually and was competing, but gets 9 tenths there for 1 tenth of the work!! I would listen to some of the speakers you intend to get if at all possible, with the music you listen to. More expensive isn't always better, spending the time on install and locations will pay dividends Quote
ChrisUUC Posted August 2, 2010 Author Posted August 2, 2010 I have a question, obviously ive bought my MTX comps for the doors but the speaker grills behind my front and passenger headrests what size do people upgrade these with? Also what amp would I need to run ... (1) MTX Roadthunder RTS652 Comps (2) JL Audio 10WX Sub (3) What ever other speakers can go in these parts im speaking of above ... subtle sound guys with good sq ... ? Quote
Dblock Posted August 2, 2010 Posted August 2, 2010 I wouldnt have bothered with rear speakers but if you have you will need a 4 channel amp. for the sub you will need a 1 channel amp or a 2 channel bridgable amp. TBH Im not sure the MTX will be great. Try rainbow, focal, dynadio, Legatia HAT's, MB quart. Quote
ChrisUUC Posted August 2, 2010 Author Posted August 2, 2010 Few on talkaudio recomended them, for all I'm afterthey will be a million times betterrhan the standard setup. Probably won't bother upgrading therears if nobody really recomends it. Thanks, by the way has tour clarion gone? Quote
BulletMagnet Posted August 2, 2010 Posted August 2, 2010 Just may 2p's worth, but the discussion about weight is IMO totally bogus. Either you are building a car with comforts or you are building a car for the track, you cannot have both. I know that I will only do some occasional spirited driving and will mostly be a shows for the "let people look at the car" kind of thing. So I won't be worrying too much about the weight. Quote
maz0 Posted August 2, 2010 Posted August 2, 2010 Either you are building a car with comforts or you are building a car for the track, you cannot have both. Then its not bogus.... if he stated he was going comfort then fair enough, but he didn't. In fact he stated he was actually going for tuning mods as well... Quote

Probably won't bother upgrading therears if nobody really recomends it. Thanks, by the way has tour clarion gone? I know they will be, but usually MTX is heavier on the bass. More sql then sq. I wouldnt IMO because if they fronts are amped you wont need the rears. Also if you feel you need rear fill you could always upgrade them at a later date. Sorry Chris saw your pm at work and forgot to reply no its still here. Quote
BulletMagnet Posted August 2, 2010 Posted August 2, 2010 Tuning mods are ok too, but it's the discussion about 50kgs here or there that I find bogus. sure you can add tuning mods to create a beautiful engine bay to look at, but don't start discussing weight issues when also thowing in a full set of ICE Quote
ChrisUUC Posted August 2, 2010 Author Posted August 2, 2010 Pm me your best price now? Might be interested as clarion has good sq. Yea can't waitto be honest to get it all in and start enjoying my music again . Thanks for all your help dude ... Quote
Dblock Posted August 2, 2010 Posted August 2, 2010 If you was closer I would let you hear my system when its finished. Hopefully it will be good. Not a problem. Pics of when your finished aswell Quote

(1) MTX Roadthunder RTS652 Comps (2) JL Audio 10WX Sub (3) What ever other speakers can go in these parts im speaking of above ... subtle sound guys with good sq ... ? A JL 4 channel amp, with two bridged to run the sub would do nicely. Run the rears off the head unit. I would also leave 6.5" speakers. It is tough as 4 or 5.25" speakers do better with vocals, whereas the 6.5" deals with midrange / midbass much better. So I wouls stick with a strong vocal 6.5" speaker. Rainbows, Hertz and JL's would be on my list for that Quote
Rob_Quads Posted August 3, 2010 Posted August 3, 2010 3rd or what ever on the not worry about rear speakers. Save your money on the rear speakers, spending it on better equiptment for the fronts, amp and sub and you'll not even notice they are not there. I always like to say how often do you go to a concert and have speakers from the back pointing at you! now thing of the size of the cabin in a 350 Quote
