Darren350 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hey guys, I fancy replacing the rear speakers in my 2004 Zed and was wondering if there are direct replacements available? I think the rears are 6.5 so am I right in thinking ANY 6.5 will just be a direct fit? No spacers etc required? Is it quite an easy job? Just unscrew the cover, unscrew the speakers, pop the new ones in and job done? My current system is the stock bose GT system. At some stage I want to replace the HU with a better looking unit. But have heard this can be a PITA so am putting it off for a while lol. Is it worth changing the fronts as well or is this a harder job? Also I was toying with the idea of leaving the rear speakers exposed as I thought it might look quite'cool', lol. How wrong am I??? Hahaha Advice and help appreciated!

Grundy Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Just FYI - I'd upgrade the head unit first, you will instantly notice a difference in sound quality from your standard bose speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren350 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Could do Grundy but that's gonna set me back a good £300. I've had the car a few weeks snd there's so much I want to do lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I know Just saying you will get an improved sound quality with a your new speakers, but you wont get full benefit from them until you get either an AMP or replace the head unit. Let me know if you start looking for one, I've got one sat on my desk at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjt Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I've upgraded both the head unit and the rear speakers. Doing the rears is a waste of time unless you do the head unit IMO. On the standard system, the Bose cassette thing is the biggest limiting factor to the sound. As for fitting, it was pretty straight forward, I just used the holes for the screws that were already there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren350 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 To be honest guys I want to do it and leave the speakers exposed as an asthetic upgrade to the interior, is this me being an idiot? Haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansJD2112 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I replace the rears with a set of Hertz 165 Fitted them into the plastic rather than the original mounts 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Yes, but those Hertz are worth showing off tho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
un1eash Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 The rear speakers would be the last thing I upgrade in the 350Z. First would be head unit, front speakers, amps, sub and then maybe the rears but never needed to when I did my JL install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
