JediBitch Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Hello! So I've had my 370z about a month now and it's become very clear that the bose sound system is rubbish! I've recently gone out and bought some focal PS165 components, I have an old alpine CDE-133BT single din HU from my old car, which is full bluetooth, and a kenwood 4 chan 980w amp. I've been quoted £495 to put the lot into the Z but I'm considering doing it myself. Has anyone done this? Is it tough? I think i can manage the removal and install of what I have, but something like connecting the steering remote is totally alien to me! This is what I bought - https://www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/connects2-ctkns07-nissan-370z-2009-double-din-car-stereo-fascia-fitting-kit.html?search=370z Do you think this part is much more complex than fitting the HU, amp and wiring? Part of me wants to do it myself for the achievement and knowing i've done it properly, but i'm shitting myself that i'll do it wrong and break something!!! haha I wonder if anyone local to me would be able to give me some guidance if went to you for a chat? Thanks in advance for any comments! Tarl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JediBitch Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 Hi guys, I'm mostly done on my install but something has throw a spanner in the works. When looking at the size of the 2009 370z speakers, everywhere says they are 6.5. However i've just taken the door cards off the they are 6.9! I bought these - https://www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/focal-165-as-access-series-2-way-16-5cm-6-5-component-car-speakers.html - with these - http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/nissan-micra-almera-speaker-adapters - but this is pretty much what is in my car from standard - https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiywLLDh77LAhUBEJoKHX0oCscQjRwIBw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.whatsinside.info%2Fbose-nissan-370z-subwoofer%2Fbose-nissan-370z-6x9-speaker-img1%2F&bvm=bv.116636494,d.d24&psig=AFQjCNF181R4tfDp5wg5Obx1vw3GV5uIZA&ust=1457972077599490 The speaker adapters just dont fit at all so i really dont know what to do. My car has bose HU and amp, which i've removed, but not NAV. I thought my speakers were 6.5? So frustrating as my car is still in a thousand bits and i need to drive to work tomorrow!!! if anyone can help i'd be so thankful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig1985 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Did you get sorted and if so what did they look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediBitch Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 Hiya, yeah i got it all fitted and it's great. I had to fabricate my own holders for the 6.5" speakers but all it took was some 5mm MDF and a thin saw with a detachable blade. When i looked up the details of the 370z audio system the website listed the speakers as 6.5 but apparently that's the non-bose speakers. The bose speakers are 6x9. The rest of the process was relatively pain free except for running the speaker wire through the door panels. I used a modelling knife to cut a very small hole in the molex which seemed much less risky than using a dremel or something. Now just need to add a sub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
