just got done with an 2005 G35 coupe. Its a simple SQ build and we plan to compete wtih it in MECA, SQ only (no install), street class. starting at autorama this saturday
goals:
1. achieve a nice level of sound quality for daily listening and the occasional sq comp
2. to take up as little room as possible in the trunk since this is a daily driver
3. to create a look that is subdued but carries a little more flare than say just a plain carpet install
acutally, even though i have done quite a few G coupes, this one is somehwat unique, its acutally the first active SQ install i have done in one that still has all the product in the floor. with the other true sq setups, they all involve a side mounted box, and the ones that have it all in the floor have been just
passive setups.
lets get started.
first two quick shots of the battery. even though adhering to install rules is not a requirement, i figured i will take two quick pics anyway.
first shows the 0 guage power cable, wrapped in techflex going into the cabin via the stock rubber grommet:
here is a shot of the 150 amp circuit breaker that protects the system, tucked next to the
battery and within 18"
the signal starts wtih a
kenwood 7014 dvd/nav double din unit, provided by the customre, and is installed via the JDM adapter plate and dual zone climate controller. the
ipod cable comes out of the upper cubby:
as the car utilizes zapco tuning, here is the pic of the laptop plugged in and doing some tuning
the front stage consists of a set of seas lotus reference 6.5" two way components, and as usual, the door panels received a layer of foam damping with some normal proofing material near where the speaker mounts. a new baffle was fabricated, coated in truck bed liner, and new wires ran into the door via stock molex plug, here is the driver door:
