Kennydies Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 After having a bad experience having component speakers installed in my Type-r (They had stuck the cover back on with silicon sealent, after breaking the clip) I would like a recommendation os an ICE installer in the south. On the same subject can you recommend a decent set of component speakers to compliment the Z and my clarion HU? Thanks Quote
Kennydies Posted January 18, 2007 Author Posted January 18, 2007 I am non bose. Have a Clarion HU. If there is no decent installer down here I may try myself. Suppose I could do my window reset at the same time... Anyway.... What size speakers fit in the drivers door? How easy is it to replace the tweaters near the mirror? Anyone replaced their speakers recently? Quote
Kennydies Posted January 18, 2007 Author Posted January 18, 2007 I have done a search but never found any decent info. That is the guide that is missing off here... Quote
Andy Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 Somewhere near you that I have heard good things about but never actually had any work done by them myself is Sextons...think they have a couple of branches. Failing that I know a place in Crawley but I guess that is a bit far from you. Quote
Danny21 Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 if oxford isn't to far to travel, Marston Autoparts / oxford car audio i think they are called are v. good, had my sat nav and front spekakers fitted to my golf Quote
charlied Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 Prestige Car Audio in Rickmansworth in London are very good mate. Churned out alot of show cars too Quote
Kennydies Posted January 19, 2007 Author Posted January 19, 2007 cheers for your replies guys. Knew it was too good to hope that there may have been on near me. Dont want to have to drive over an hour for an hour install... So... I am going to bite the bullet and do it myself... Back tot he question i cant answer by doing a search... What size speakers will fit in the door with what size spacers...? Is there any cutting of anything for the install and how easy is it to but the component teaters where the exisitng tweaters are? May go speaker shopping this weekend and listen to some. Thanks Quote
charlied Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 6 1/2 inch will go in mate but you will need to use spacers and you may need to trim them down (Autoleads supply theese about a tenner). If the tweeters are small enough they will sit behind the covers however you will probably need to flush fit them into the pod. If you have BOSE prepare yourself for a bit of a headache as the system is active however here is a helpful guide with pictures: http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/Tutorial ... stallation and here: http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/Tutorial ... stallation Quote
Kennydies Posted January 19, 2007 Author Posted January 19, 2007 Ah, that is just the guide I cam looking for. Doesnt seem that difficult, seems a lot easier than my Type-R Thanks for that. Now, need a free day to go and buy tech and do the install. Quote
charlied Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 Good luck. This might be helpful too http://www.edrugnet.jp/Productphoto/prozac.jpg Quote
Kennydies Posted January 19, 2007 Author Posted January 19, 2007 Good luck. This might be helpful too http://www.edrugnet.jp/Productphoto/prozac.jpg Thanks. May need something to calm my nerves, will wrap everything in cotton wool to protect my baby first :-) Will let you know how it goes. Think i will just ignore my rear speakers... Quote
rickya Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 Prestige Car Audio in Rickmansworth in London are very good mate. Churned out alot of show cars too Agree they are quality but churn money out of your wallet quicker than Milk from a Jersy cow! ps no Im not sure how long milking cows takes, never tried that one, but sounded good!!

Rob_Quads Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 You could try contacting Sextons Southampton - I know they have done work on a number of 350zs before both Bose and Non-Bose (I admit to being friends with the owner and use their workshop ) Quote
Kennydies Posted January 19, 2007 Author Posted January 19, 2007 Lookig on the sextons website and there is no shop in southampton... If there is, that is anoying as I would have gone to them... Quote
Kennydies Posted January 19, 2007 Author Posted January 19, 2007 Bugger I found it. Dont suppose if you know if they just do an install service if I give them the speakers I ordered? Quote
Rob_Quads Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 Thier Web-site is http://www.sextons-southampton.co.uk/ Yup they will install supplied equipment. Quote
StephenG Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 If you've not committed yet, Huets are superb - www.huets.com - they win national awards and have second-to-none customer service. Quote
Kennydies Posted January 23, 2007 Author Posted January 23, 2007 I have not booked anything or paid but after the help and advise they have given will not let them down... Cant wait to have my install Quote
Kennydies Posted January 23, 2007 Author Posted January 23, 2007 I will give feedback on the install afterwards Quote
Blacky Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 I can recommend Cannon Car Audio http://www.cannoncaraudio.co.uk/index.htm Excellent job of my install, speak to Paul. Have a look at this thread mate http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... highlight= Quote
H5 Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 The Sound Gallery in High Wycombe. Awesome installers, did my trophy winning car, founding members of Sound Challenge Association on the staff and know all about everything audio. Prestige also good, Huets heard mixed, same with Sextons. Quote
