just gone done this newest 05 G coupe, came all the way up from socal

The goals were simple:

1. sound quality

2. clean, dont take up too much trunk space while maintaining the spare tire

lets get started:

the signal starts off with the Pioneer Avic-Z1 nav unit, installed via the double din finisher, note the two antennas on the dash, one for the Nav, the other for XM radio



the DLS remote bass control is shaved and then mounted into the ash tray, so the owner can flip it down and adjust the bass level:



Front stage features a pair of DLS ultimate UR36 3 way components. The midrange and tweeter as usual, is flushed into the kick panels:



while the midbass sits in a semi-sealed and dampened cup inside the stock location, the door is dampened as well:




back in the trunk, here is the normal view. a reupholstered 4080 box sits on the passenger side, housing an image dynamics 10" subwoofer, while on the driver side, a matching side enclosure with a vinyl cover plate with raised infiniti logo







lets see whats behind the cover, its a DLS ultimate A5 3 channel amp, sending about 100 watts to each front side, and about 500 watts at 2ohms to the sub. the amp sits in a suede lined well, behind clear plexi. Note the mesh vent for the amp up top:







the amp is chosen for its short lengths (to fit within the side of the trunk and of course, superior quality.

here is a behind the scenens shot as usual to show the wiring




overall, the goals IMO are achieved, it sounds excellent and does not take up a lot of usable space

 

i like that amp rack, its nice!!

 

Superb job... hopefully one day you could work on the stuff I have.. plus add some stuff that I need..

 

Looks great! I see you like to switch between the Image dynamics and Elemental Designs Subs, can you give a comparison of the two? I had a hard time deciding which ones to go with and ended up with the ED 11kv.2, but the ID10 had similar specs

 

thanks guys...

comparing the two subs:

interms of pure output

1. idmax
2. ov.2
3. ID
tie4. kv and IDQ

in terms of low freq extension
1. idmax
2. idq
tie3.ov.2 and id
4. kv.2

interms of small enclosure capability

1. idq
2. kv.2
3. id
4. idmax
5. ov.2 the ov.2 sound better ane extend greatest when in larger of recommend sizes

pure sq:

hard to say but:

1. idmax
2. tie with ov.2 and idq, with ov.2 having more impact, and idq being more natural
3. ID
4. KV

but all are superb sq subs to be honest when installed and tuned correct...

of course keep in mind that the id costs a bit more at every level

 

Nice install. That's got to be an ID10 or IDQ10 in that 4080 enclosure. I didn't even come close to fitting my IDMAX10 in my 4080 enclosure while retaining the included grille. Do you also have a shot of the driver's side kick panel with the mid and tweets?

 

no i dont, but it basically loosk like this other G i did:

 

oh this is the car i am driving back to socal on friday, gonna chill down in LA for the weekend, if anyone wanna meet up

 

thats pimp, thanks for the idea. I know where I am putting my bass control now!!!

 

Just wondering how much a DLS A5 retail for????

 

$699 is the retail, but when i do installs witht hem, i charge a bit less

i run the same amp in my own car, absolutely love, very powerful for its size, and the sub channel, if loaded down to one ohm, will putout over 800 watts

 

that is a nice setup

 

Great work!

 

Very nice setup. The AVIC head unit is awesome too, same thing I'm running in my G.

Trunk looks super clean - A+

 

nice set up.
