Thanks for the compliments guys. As for the autosensing, it wouldn't detect the line level inputs. It would only kick on if I turn the auto sensing switch off, then on. But if I left it on, and turned the ignition, the amp would not power up. I spent 5 minutes splicing in the remote lead and that took my 30 minute frustration away. :D

Do you know if there is a difference in the harness for a 06 G35X sedan? I was trying to install an amp in my friends car, and his harness looks different then your picture. I guess maybe because he doesnt have 6x9s in the rear, only a small sub. Any insite on this?
Great writeup BTW. =) |
Nice write up. Too bad I already paid somone a buttload of money to install my components :)
|
Did you consider adding an eq to moderate levels between the bose and your jl amp? Nice install and write up by the way.

Thanks Vin. The stock Bose fader does a remarkable job of allowing me to control each amp relatively independently. That, along with slight changes in the JL amp gain and JL bass control, gives me more than enough adjustments than I can use.
|
I have a similar set-up but I went with two JLw3's. Wondering if your set-up hits harder and cleaner than mine. Thoughts?
|
I have no clue about the sound comparison. Maybe, the audio experts can chime in. I'm glad I only went with one W6 because I can still use my trunk for groceries, etc. since this is my daily driver.

Hey Guys, I just had some subs installed to my 06 G35 but i found 1 small problem. My FM radio started working like crap! When the amp is on, the FM radio signal gets really weak and I hear a lot of static. However, if i detach the power wire from the amp so the Amp won't turn on, the FM radio get normal reception and it works fine.
Would anybody know how I can fix this? Thanks. |
It seems like you may be experiencing the dreaded FM interference from the D Class amplifiers. If you do a google search for it, you'll find lots of information. I think a lot of people tried to move their amps as far away from the power antenna as possible. I'm not saying that this is a fix, but it may be worth a try.
I was very concerned about this also. Luckily, when I installed my JL 500/1 amp, I had no FM interference whatsoever. If it becomes a big problem, maybe a new amp might be in order. |
Hmm yeah it is a D class i guess. It's a Hifonics Brutus BXi1606D. Currently its mounted on the back of the back seat. Where would be a good location to move it to?

This is a great write-up, but I have 1 question. How long was your power cable? I want to do my install, but my 4 gauge power cable is only 15.25' long. Do you think that will be long enough to get to my trunk?
|
Thanks.
Hmm... I'm not sure about that power wire. My kit came with a 20ft power wire and I had to trim some of it. I don't think I had too much extra with that 20ft wire so you might need to do a trial fit to see if it will work. |
Very nice work, and awesome write-up. Whenever I see a good write up like this, I wish I had done the same with my install. I've got a 10w6v2 in a 4080 box, with a 500/1 pushing it, same as you. I've got very different signal connections, due to the complete removal of the Bose amp on my setup, but I've got an 05 (with no bluetooth) so I could do that. Not sure what the solution for the 06'2 is.

I ended up installing it with the 15.25' feet of wire and it was more than enough. Your write-up made the install very easy!
|
Awesome. I'm glad I could be of some help! :cool:
