Hey guys,

just after some help in regards to upgrading the sound system and before i get my arse handed to me lol im not asking for opinions on brands etc

Need to know if slim line speakers are necessary for both front and rear speakers? Also im not looking to put amps, subs as im just after some clean sound with bass (not car trembling kind just nice deep kick).

My shopping list so far consists of: (1)Double Din Bracket & A/C unit

(2)Either Pioneer DEH-8350SD (Single Din Unit)+Pocket or Pioneer AVH-P3300BT (Double Din DVD Unit)

(3)Fronts depends on mounting space

(4)Rears? I read its 6x9 but it looks more like 6"...i want most of the bass from these obviously. Also depends on mounting space.

Appreciate the help guys :)

Cheapest place for item 1 is USA, from memory from Nissan Japan was $650 for the parts, JB (went for quote only had no intention) $750 and from the USA (via ebay) $411. You don't need the bracket, just the trim piece and the AC controls.

Yea this is what im getting from ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-JDM-05-07-Infiniti-G35-coupe-sedan-double-din-kit-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem4cf21163f3QQitemZ330478740467QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

Around $350 delivered which is hot :D

Ah you be lucky and have the later dash!

Haha thanks bro.

Can anyone confirm this is true: Front speakers are 6.5" with 2.8" depth, Rears are 6X9" with 3.5" depth?

Got this from one of the speaker sites where it actually lets you specify your car for fitment.

Thanks.

Have you browsed the G35driver forums? I believe they have a stereo section there. If not someone like Chris Rogers would know.

Seems as the premium BOSE system (which i dont have) has 3 sets of speakers,

mine only has fronts and mids in the pillars. Job for Chris i think lol!

not exactly sure on the size of the speaker as i no longer have the box, but they are hertz mlk 165 (left) alongside the standard speaker(right). They fit in the factory location with a mdf spacer.

I have a Hybrid Audio front stage which has the L6 midbass driver in the stock door location mounted to an MDF baffle

The speaker size is 181mm (7.1") overall diameter with a 77mm mounting depth.

As for the rear, the only thing I have back there are the subs :)

Ok guys im bout ready to get everything shipped,

but have one final question. Should i be looking at an amp to power the speakers? Ive been googling the shit outta this and im getting mixed opinions, some say yes cos obviously you wont be using the speakers to their potential. Others say yes cos you'll ruin the speakers by underpowering them and others say no they are fine to run off headunit...

Headunit is Pioneer AVH-P3300BT and speakers are Massive Audio VK6 Component (front) and Massive Audio VX6 Co-Axial (back).

Thanks guys ;)

My 2c.

Head unit is a good start and will have plenty of support if purchased locally.

Speakers I would demo, may be marginally better that the factory units or they could be gr8, but you can't tell on-line.

Demo some gear and decide what you like, you don't have to get everything at once. Build your system slowly if your budget won't stretch.

I suggest if your close to them, get yourself down to Call Frankston Car Audio and have a chat with Mark the prop. He is offering insane deals on quality gear right now.

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By Duncan · Posted

      It doesn't really answer your question...but is the head unit full android or just android auto, are you happy with how quickly it boots and responds, and do you have a link?  If we can identify good Android alternatives it will really help people stuck with Japanese screens. Did it have a separate reverse camera input so you would replace the factory one, or are you just going without now...that would be a pretty big steps back. And finally, do you have a picture of the "wire" that you can't plug in? Most likely it is some sort of aerial that is not too important eg japanese traffic or am radio or something if you haven't noticed a functionality issue

      For a daily just run Akebono ceramic pads. That's what they're optimized for. Obviously don't try to run it on track or anything like that.

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
