Broadfield Introduction "B&B"

[Broadfield]

Does the 07' have the factory Bose system? Are you happy with the mid/highs...... does it have enough volume to make you happy? If so, then I would just add a subwoofer system. If you want a lot of really good bass output, then I would recommend the JL Audio stealth box. Unbelievable output and fits like a glove! I would run a 400-500 watt amplifier to it..... probably a Alpine PDX 600.

If you are not happy with the mid/highs, then you would probably want to change out the speakers and add a 4 channel amp for more and cleaner volume.

The Alpine W205 would be a good choice for your brothers car. Add the Black bird portable nav, which docks inside the W205, and you have nav on the W205 and a portable nav that you can use in any car. The whole package runs about $1500 or less. You can check it out here,

toby quick question.I finally got around to wiring in the 9873 tonight.Everything was a breeze other then me having to remove the Active Speaker door speaker amps to get everything to work..

Anyways. in the s13 there's 2 wires from the dash illumination stuff. One is a constant 12 volts when you turn on the headlights, the other varies as you adjust the dimmer for the gauges.

I wasn't sure which one to hook up to the illumination wire from the stereo, i'm guessing the variable one but i thought i'd ask you. This is my first EVER car stereo install and i'd rather double check.

[Broadfield]

You need to hook it up to the wire that goes to 12Volts when you turn on the lights.

[krazydriver]

thanks man. All is well and it sounds awesome.

[Broadfield]

Sweet! I'm glad it all worked out for you. Let me know if you ever need anything else!

[rollin Z]

thanks, ya i'm good with my bose, all the questions that i'm askin is for my bro's 03 350z, he wants to change it all. from headunit to speakers and maybe add a subwoofer, he's kinda young so he wants a loud one and he's birthday is coming so i'm planning to give it as a gift( i'f the price is not that too high). if ever, how much will it cost? for front and rear speakers? subwoofer( jl stealth box with amps)? and the head unit with navi? thanks again

[Broadfield]

Do you have a budget in mind? That's usually the best way to go about it. You give me an amount you don't want to go over, and I will give you the best setup for that price. Otherwise it could be anywhere from $2500 to $10,000 or more. Let me know and I will email you a nice package price with everything you want. Keep in mind the screen with Nav is roughly $1400 alone.

[rollin Z]

maybe i'll just get the speakers( front and rear) for the meantime, could you give me an estimate from good better and best speakers. do you have any navigation that works as a dvd too? i dont want the portable one, i want the one that stays in the car. and if possible, i want that has a 2-6 cd changer on it( the more the merrier). tnx

[Broadfield]

Will do! I'll come up with a couple different packages and email them to you. I will be out of town for the next couple days, so it will be this weekend before I get back to you!

[93drifter]

How much can you get an in dash dvd player, one that fits in the s13 pocket?

I don't have any screens on super special this month, so you are looking at about $859 shipped. Retail is $1099. That is for the Alpine 205 or the 105. The 205 is a double DIN and the 105 is a single DIN. They are almost exact in features..... touch screen, DVD, I-pod, XM/Sirius etc. Let me know if you want any more info on them!

I have your package prices all set for you.... I will email them to you when I get home tonight. Also, all of the Alpine screens play DVD's. None of the Alpine screens "come" with Navigation. Navigation is a add on for all of the screens. The W205 just happens to be able to dock the Blackbird behind it's fold down screen, giving you full Navigation on the W205 and the ability to take the portable Blackbird into any other vehicle as a stand alone unit. But you don't have to buy it if you don't want Nav. As far as a changer, you can get a 6 disc that could mount in the compartment behind the passenger seat.

replied. Thanks man.

ive got a question about my speaker set up. I dont really have a care for bass, but i do like to have my music crisp and clear, now is there any specific setup you would recommend for good quality sound, speakers and head unit.

[Broadfield]

What kind of budget are you on? If you are on a small budget, I would simply choose from the Alpine HU's and JL Audio speakers I have on sale right now. You really need to decide on a budget though. I can sell you a $1200 set of Boston Acoustic components that sound wonderful, but I'm sure you are not down for that!?!

[nismoracingsx]

tsk tsk, toby, you never told me you did car alarm systems too saw you post about it in another thread..

<<s13 coupe with manual locks, care to price me on alarm + door hardware??

not looking for the end all of security, i do live out in the boones but a remote would be nice for unlocking my doors, i hate using my key and risk scratching the car in the dark

[Broadfield]

Heck yeah, we are full blown automotive electronics shop..... you name it!

I will set you up with a package tomorrow and get back to you. Probably a Viper 350HV and a couple actuators, relays and extra wiring.

Take Care,

Toby

[jkerr240]

haha no unfortunatly not that big of a budget, just some good JL's and would sound good, when its turned up. whatever you suggest, id say around 350-400 somewhere around there or lower if you got it.

Did you take a look at my for sale goodies? For around $375 shipped you can do the Alpine 9873 and 2 sets of JL TR coax's. Will sound really good for a budget price!

You are looking at $179 shipped for everything you need. That would be a Viper 350HV, 2 actuators, relays, any extra wiring or little parts you may need and free tech support

[jkerr240]

yeah i got those JL's in my doors right now, there good but i have some crappy off brands in the back, only because they told me it was just gonna be back round music and didnt need good speakers back there??? but i just agreed with them. but the JL hit great, just need good back speakers maybe 6x9

[nismoracingsx]

christmas is coming up, maybe i pick up soon

[InlineS13]

Thanks man, got my headunit real quick, looks great. Great job on the harness. Excellent service and customer support. I'll probably be getting back to you about another headunit for my 240 and some speakers. Thanks again.

[Broadfield]

I'm glad you're happy with it! Thanks for the feedback

[FusionR300zx]

ooooo... i need a alarm!! installed, and maybe my defi vsd-x installed as well?

lmk!!

[email protected]

thanks,aric

[Broadfield]

You just need to call me if you want to set something up. You can bring your car up for the alarm install, then leave the column with me to mold in the VSD. I could then just ship you the piece when I was done.

[Jookmasta]

hey broadfield, i know your pretty much the interior king but i came across a gauge setup that seems rather interesting.............perhaps you could enlighten me as to how someone could pull this off? is it simply just actuators/motors attached to the moving parts that are wired into the ignition?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRx7R8KwX_8

i figured it would peak your interest since you are the DIY type.............

edit: one other quick question, since you are an electronics shop do you carry radar detectors? specifically any beltronics?

[Broadfield]

Yeah, that's a really nice setup. That would be a very difficult project for your average installer. I would of chosen a slower motion, but very nicely done. I don't think I could of pulled it off any nicer. That obviously was all done with the dashboard out of the car. The area up top was reconstructed and looks like the entire dash was recovered.... about the only way to pull that off. SImple use of motors and actuators..... it's the linkage is where it gets difficult.

I do carry radar detectors...... Escort and K-40. Hope that helps!
