Hello guys, After months and months of research for a quality sound system for the Z, going trough all Z dedicate forums I finally made a decision. I will go for the WickedCas sub enclosure, speaker pods and amp tray, JL subs, speakers and amps, details bellow. Considering the cost of building this system it will have to be done progressively, before spring: - buying the subs enclosure, pods and tray - buying the speakers - buying the amps and cabling - vinyl wrapping the tray, pods and subs enclosure - fitting Now, there are other options in here, hence why I share this with you. If any of you guys is interested in building the same setup we have the following options: a) I will buy the amp tray, sub enclosure and speaker pods from WickedCas in USA and get RT-Performance to use them as moulds to create an UK version, same quality but way cheaper, saving on VAT, import duty, transportation, etc! I can then organise a group buy for the JL speakers, subs, amps and cabling I can organise a group buy and ask for a good discount from WickedCas in USA. I'd say anything from 3 members upwards will be enough to ask for a good discount. c) open to different options for saving on cost Now let's get technical: 1. 350Z Amp Rack - $399.95 Accommodates amps up to 11" deep and up to 34" in length and amps are recessed about 2.5". Rack weighs in between 9 and 10lbs depending on spray pattern so keep your setup light in your sports car Details: http://www.wickedcas.com/product.php?productid=96&cat=8&page=1 Gallery: http://www.wickedcas.com/gallery/v/wcasdesign/Zamprack/ Fitting: http://www.wickedcas.com/gallery/v/wcasdesign/Rackinstr/ 2. 350Z 3X10 Strut Tower Sub Enclosure - $299.95 This enclosure will fit under the strut tower bar in the 2003-2008 350Z coupe models only and houses 3 X10" subwoofers. JL 10w3v3 Subwoofer is recommended Details: http://www.wickedcas.com/product.php?productid=3&cat=8&page=1 Gallery: http://www.wickedcas.com/gallery/v/magicboxes/350z/TRIPLE/ 3. 350z speaker pods - $179.95 Designed to fit the 03-05 Nissan 350Z there are many of these in use with great results. They will angle the speaker towards the driver and will eliminate the sound loss created from the stock door panels. Stock grilles only allow about 40% of the sound to go through the door.

Update 28/10/2011:

Rehab?

Shush! Wife is following me around here!

Is there any cure for it?

Oh, well... Finally decided what Y pipe to get as a nice one came available on the "For sale section" Got it today! Will use some Autosol on it before it gets fitted. It should sound fantastic with the Amuse Titanium R1 exahaust + Berk HFCs + JWT PopCharger, can't wait to have it fitted! Video available soon
