Finally took the time to have my amp/sub installed. I just used one of the boxes I had from my old G35. It fits pretty flush but I really didn't want to spend a whole lot of money having a new box made. I decided to just use one W6 in my G37, it sounds really great, hits hard, and my rear view mirror doesn't budge, thank goodness!!

Here are some pics for those interested in doing something similiar:





This is from my G35 with 2 W6s

 

congrats. how does it sound?

 

Did you have those boxes made custom or can they be ordered somewhere?

And of course how does it sound? Are you factory otherwise?

 

It sounds awesome!! I had those boxes made for my G35 (in the bottom pic) I still actually have one more for the right side if someone in South FL. wants to buy it. You can order that 40** box but these were a custom fiberglass job. Everything thing else is stock BTW. Not going to upgrade the speakers its just a lease.

 

would u be willing to ship to california

 

The box is for a 12" anyway, do you only have that 10? I might be willing to ship it but its darn heavy (fiberglass not wood) so even ground its gunna run a good $50+ so ship. I'll look into that if your interested.

 

Do you happen to know where the pass through is from the firewall to the cabin for the power wire?

Thanks!

 

^+1 and what did you use to get a clean signal?

 

No I was not around during the install, im sure it went down through the drivers side floor and under the kickplates. I'll have to take a look and get back to you.

Not sure what you mean by this..

 

I'm interested to know as well. I'm thinking of doing my own install.

 

Thanks. Just take a look in the engine bay and see where they ran the red power wire. Take a pic if you can. I would also check under the passenger carpet/dash. Let me know if you find anything.

 

When I installed my amp in the back I ran the wire behind the battery. If you take apart the passenger interior panels there is a clear shot into the passenger compartment next to the A/C fan. And then run the power cable down the passenger side of the car. The main wire harness for the stereo is run down the drivers side of the car. That way you will limit the exposure to engine noise.


Side Note: Make sure you have at least 20' of cable for an easy install.

 

What did they use to get the signal for the amp. Usually called a hi/low converter or something like a JL audio clean sweep.

 

Thanks diesel.

 

The Clean sweep is can be used that way... but from what a JL rep told me it was more for changing out mids and highs... If your adding just a sub... I think a hi/lo converter would be all you needed... but im not a super expert...
