Sadly the car's trunk is INCREDIBLY shallow. Mounting the amps under the rear deck would mean I couldn't fold the seats down anymore.

Hi, I'm planning on getting everything done next week. Here is my current plan. Tell me what you think. Car: 2012 G37s Coupe. Comps: Focal KRX3 Rears: None Sub: 10w6v2 (I have one laying around) in a glass box that won't take much room in the trunk. Amp: JL HD900/5 (see note at the...

accidental double post

btw, I'll be keeping the stock (bose) HU/Nav system since I want it to still look stock.

Hi! I'm looking at having a new system installed in my G37 coupe. I'll be running either DynAudio Esotec 362s or Focal KRX3s. I'll also have a 10w6 for a sub. I'll be keeping the stock (bose) HU/Nav system since I want it to still look stock. A couple of local car audio shops have...

Hi! I'm looking at putting a new system in my G37 coupe and would like advice on amps. Since the car is pretty small, space is at a premium. I'm going to be putting in either Focal KRX3s or DynAudio Esotec 362s for the fronts and am not doing anything for the rears. I'll also be running a JL...

Ok, I've now listened to the Focal KRX3s, KRX2s, the Hertz Milles, and the DynAudio Esotec 362s. It is between the Focals and the Dynaudios for me. I just have to make the final decision. I listened to them A/B and I still can't decide. The DynAudios were a lot smoother and I liked them on...

Spending about $800 for the install sounds reasonable to me. That also lines up with what one local shop quoted me. Another local shop quoted me $100 to install the speakers. I got a good impression from the shop, but am somewhat worried that it was so cheap. Also, he didn't mention sound...

Thanks for the advice. I listened to the Hertz Mille yesterday and think they sound really good also. I can't decide whether I like them more or less than the Focal's. I am planning to pay for a good professional installation. How much do you think it should run me? My budget for that is...

Hi, I'm getting new components. I'm happy to spend less, but am willing to spend up to $1400. My main focus is on clarity, but I'd like all-around good sound. These will be going in a g37 coupe. Right now I'm considering the Focal KRX2 and KRX3. What else should I be looking at? Any...

Hi! I've got a 2012 g37 coupe with the bose system and since I was a car audio enthusiast in a past life I've decided I can't live with the sound. So, I'm considering a few options. For all of these I'll be using a 10w6v2 for a sub (I have one laying around). Tell me what you think. Option 1...

Hi, Is anyone familiar with Gary Stackpole at Benchmark Soundworks? I went into his shop and got a pretty good feeling about him, but wasn't able to find much online. Any thoughts? Thanks! btw, any other recommendations for great atlanta area installers?

Hi! I just got a new G37 coupe that came with the bose/nav system and I am dramatically unhappy with the sound. I haven't had a good system in my car for about ten years, but I remember what awesome sounds like and this isn't it... So, I want to make some changes and I'm looking for...

Hi! I'm considering purchasing a BMW 335i or an Infiniti G37. I know I'm going to want to put a new system in, but I have been out of the hobby for about ten years. What level of integration is possible now? It is possible to make a nice stereo that works with the displays already in the...
