Question 07 g35x factory amp need to be modded to add subs?

whats up guys,

i have a 07 g35x and i wanted to add a couple of 12" subs in the rear. i wanted to find out first

- where the factory amp is in my car,

- is the amp used only for the sub in the back or for all speakers?

- do i haveta mess with the amp to hook up another amp and pair of 12" subs

- if so, what is the right kind of amp i should get? mono or what not?

i am looking to get a good package, like more than 300w rms...

All the info you needed was in a sticky.

How to install a sub in a G Sedan

I did it in my wifes '07 G35 Sedan, piece of cake. Amp is under the rear deck. Follow the instruction and it shouldn't take long. Everything is surprisingly easy to access, took maybe an hour for all the wire installs.

Do you want to run aftermarket subs off of the Bose amp or do you want to tap into the bose amp to get the audio signal for an aftermarket amp?

Regardless, that link above is for an 03-06 G sedan. Your 07 is different in many ways.

I don't know much about the 07 sedan, but when you find the Bose amp, tap into the audio signal before it goes into the Bose amp. If the 07 sedan Bose amp is anything like the 03-06 Bose amps, the amp will roll off the bass once you reach a certain volume level, presumably to keep from damaging the stock speakers. You don't want that rolloff to go to your subwoofers. that would be counterintuitive.

I think you posted on Infinitihelp. I responded over there.

For subs, go with a mono amp.

This is true about the '03-'06 sedan but I found it wa all I needed for my wifes '07. Had no issues. I used the signal coming out of the Bose amp and ran it right into the aftermarket amp. Wires are even the same color.

But it's better to tap the signal before it goes into the Bose amp. The Bose amp is where all the bad things happen to the audio signal.

any possible scenarios where i could be screwed besides maybe the battery goes down??
