I would like to share my installation for my 2011 Infiniti G37 S coupe. Ive had this car for almost 2 years, comes with a factory bose setup which my impression sounds pretty decent as is. In the past i have went through multiple audio setups with my old cars and JL Audio has always been the consistently better choices i've had for the price point. I enjoyed doing all my installations myself and decided that i want to add some extra bass to my car without going overboard.
Factory bose setup consists of:
Dash: 3" Mid
Door: 1" Tweeter, 3" Mid, 10" Woofer
Rear Side: 3" Mid
Rear Deck: 6x9" Woofer
My addition:
-JL Audio 8w3v3 4ohm 8" subwoofer
-Jl Audio HD-RLC control knob
-JL Audio XD300/1 mono amplifier (mainly chose this for the very small footprint it has) does 200 watts rms @ 4ohms on 14.4 volts (my car runs 14.4 very easily)
-Audiocontrol Overdrive 2 ch line driver (ebay bargain)
-FGSE 8" forged sealed enclosure 0.56 cu ft
-DIY RCA cables to tap into my bose amp harness preprocessed low voltage signals (no need for hi/lo converter)
-8 gauge amp kit
-scrap MDF to build a fitted amp rack, sprayed it with plastidip
End result was definitely more bass without going overboard IMO. Installed the bass knob to my center console between my heated seat controls. i was also able to regulate the line driver to allow me to keep my gain minimal on the amp. I chose to install the amp under the plastic floor panel in my trunk, allowing to keep all my car tools and spare tire which i was not willing to sacrifice.
I consider myself a complete amateur but am proud of what i was able to accomplish and the trunk space i was able to save, my trunk is TINY yet comes with a diagram showing how to shoehorn 2 golf bags haha. I will take any comments and suggestions
silly collage i made on my iphone but you get the point
