Ok, I've posted these before, but here you go again (we'll get this in the central location):

My audio system is not even close to you guys.But this is my first time work on car audio installation. And I picked my 08 Z to be a guinea pig.

Current setup:

1. Kenwood Excelon DDX 8122. Diamond Audio S600s for fronts3. (2) JL Audio 10W3V34. Alpine PDX 2.1505. Alpine PDX 1.6006. Infinity Reference 6022 for rears7. Rockford Fosgate dual amp wiring kit8. 2-10" Zenclosure

I basically torn my whole interior apart

Finally after about 6 days off work (about 40 hours total), the installation is finished.

Even on the Z, the DDX 812 sticks out like 1/4" The Z has a glove compartment right behind the passenger's seat, so I used that to hide my two amps. The two fans there are used as intake/circulating and there is another fan in the bottom that is for exhausting air. I also have a fan speed controller in there as well. These stuff are from my spare computer parts

Mounted the tweeter at the stock location. I had to custom make the new tweeter to fit since it was way bigger than the stock one.

I mounted the bluetooth microphone close to the rearview mirror, it seemed to be pretty good sound.

And now are the action shot

AppleBonker , i really like your system man it looks good thats something i want to do with my 2 12 kickers. is it hard to fiberglass that sub like that

[banshee08]

Hey all,

Just wanted to add to the thread. My system all done and cleaned out...It has been a 5 month project with the help of my friends shop Audio Crafters.

[shortys408]

drooling over those amps. how does it all sound?

[rjdmmfl1]

DUDE... WTF????? are those the esostar 650 components?????

we HAVE to meet up so i can hear your system.. I'm impressed... loook like you spent about 6-8K on that audio setup.... I'm loving it my dude... hit me up so we can meet up!

[LongBeachCoupe]

+1 Banshee has got some expensive amps!Is that the bluetooth mic mounted on the dash in white with 3 lines thru it?

[banshee08]

I did not do the Esotar² 650. I have the System 362 but I replaced the tweeter with the Esotar² 110 tweeters. I am think about replacing the mids to the new Esotar² 430 also but I am not sure yet, but I am extremely happy with the MW-172 8" Mid bass right now. To me there is no replacement for a quick 8" mid bass unless Dynaudio comes up with a 8" Esotar² series.

I still have much work to do. I still have to dynomat the entire floor still but I may just do the wheel wells first.

Here is my full setup item list.

Front Doors2 Esotar² 1102 Esotec MD-142 3" Mids2 Esotec MW-172 8" Mid Bass

Center1 Esotec MW-152

Rear Deck2 Esotec MD-110 tweeter (Rear Pillars)2 Esotec MW-172 8" Mid Bass

+1 Banshee has got some expensive amps!Is that the bluetooth mic mounted on the dash in white with 3 lines thru it?

No that is just a Monster Cable sticker. The Bluetooth MIC is in the head liner near the review mirror. But I was able with the help of my friends connect the sirrius unit to the factory XM antenna. It works pretty well.

Yesterday me and my brother finished the sub enclosure. Hopefully later this year I can get some good components and mold in the amp rack and wrap it in carbon fiber.

wow

the set is just what have been look for

[BlackNWhite]

Hey Banshee, I live in Baldwin Park. Would your friend be able to get some good prices on subs and an amp?

[rjdmmfl1]

coupeguy... interesting choice of subwoofer setup... W7's do NOT want to be in sealed boxes... they'd much prefer to be in a ported box... I've heard an 8" W7 in a sealed box, and it sounded very good, but I've never seen a 10" or 12" in sealed boxes

[shortys408]

is there enough air space for that w7.

I dont not know rjdmmfl , i was kinda tired of the box and i wanted to try something new but i may just go with a box in truck. the old set i had in my old car when i was in highschool was ok . but maybe u can help me out i got 2 12 inch kicker . i dont know if they would sound better together or apart

[p455w0rd]

wow

Glad you like. it looks alot better in person.

That 10w7 sounds great and is insanely loud. All my friends are amazed that its just one 10.

is there enough air space for that w7.

Honestly i didnt take the time to calculate the airspace.. so it is probably a little small.

[headhunt3r]

wow that CF Box looks sick! Do I dare how much it ran you for? Even if you did the fab yourself w/ ur bro?

Thanks man! Probably have atleast $250 in just materials for the box. I dont even wanna think about what labor costs would have been

speakers facing front seats

[kuhan]

Finally got the pix. it was such a cool experience to install them yourself. I learned so much.

[AppleBonker]

Kuhan, that looks really clean. Nice job. I'm sure it was a pain working in the tight spaces that are available in the Z. I'm going to have to check that out in person at some point.

[rjdmmfl1]

Kuhan, nice setup!!!!

Please let us know what you think about those Hex S600s components... I hope you feel I didn't lead you astray!

[kuhan]

Thanks guys. The S600s' sound awesome, but I can't compare them since these are my first aftermarket speakers. However, I still need help to tune the amps and the DDX812 to get the best out of them.

[headhunt3r]

Dayum that Z looks nice! Everything is so thought out that's so awesome man. Was there any particular reason why you chose to go with a separate nav unit instead of the add-on module you can get for the DDX812?

Again it looks sick!

[kuhan]

Thanks for the compliment. Actually that's my portable Garmin GPS which I already have before I bought the DDX812.

thats prob exactly what i would do when it comes to a sub perfect fit i guess ill have to make my own box lol

[LongBeachCoupe]

The most awesomest custom sub enclosure that allows trunk space IMO!I love it!
