So i'm thinking if swapping out the already good speakers for hopefully something better. I have no idea what the wattage of the factory speakers are. From this site I have learnt the size of the front and rear. Anyway take a look below at what I am thinking of using.

or

http://www.amazon.com/Polk-Audio-5-25-Inch...4733&sr=1-2

and MAYBE

http://www.amazon.com/Boss-BASS600-Low-Pro...5206&sr=1-5

I'm sorry if this is a stupid thread. But i would like a lil help. If anyone cares to share their audio set up. And if you also know the wattage of the factory speakers.

you should try read more on G35driver.com in Audio section.

There are alot of people happy with just changing out the stock speakers to infinity one with 4 ohm. As our stock speakers is taking in 4 ohm instead 2 ohm on most aftermarket speakers.

your Polk Audio DB651 seems ok for the front, but please read more on the site i gave you to confirm. Btw is yours a Bose or not?

just curious, what's the reason most aftermarket chooses 2ohm ? are less resistance result to more powerful sound ?

what would happen if putting 2ohm speaker system on a factory's amp that feeds to oem 4ohm speakers? will it overload or underload?

well my car was bought used and it didn have the factory system in it. It has like an after market cd player... it has the tv screen tho. Should I take a picture? Thanx anyway I'll check the g35 site

All i know is that the lower the Ohm (2ohm or 1 Ohm) will create a more powerful sound, but less clarity hence the subwoofer. Therefore the Higher the Ohm are (4ohm or 8 ohm) will have much more clarity. Usually the 6.5" drive is to create a good mid bass therefore the 2 ohm is usefull for it, as the treble is created from the component tweeter.

I'm not 100% an audiophile, but i think that's what it is from what i learned. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

Home audio is 8Ohm, Generally car audio speakers are 4Ohm, I don't know where you guys got the idea it's 2Ohm.

Some subs, in particular dual voice coils, are 2ohm so can be wired in series to make 4 Ohm or wired parallel to make 1Ohm.

There are benefits and drawbacks for each, lower Ohmage draws more power output from the amplifier if the amp is capable of running lower ohmage. The downside is sound quality is reduced. Some would say that is not so crucial at lower frequencies BUT I certainly wouldn't be going less than 4ohm on your component ( front) speakers.

P.S. The speakers you've linked to are coax. In laymans terms the tweeter is mounted WITH the midbass driver. You want a component set where the midbass and tweeter are separate items. If the 250GT is the same as the 350GT then the factory locations are Midbass in the door and tweeter in the sail panel (behind the door mirror).

LOL even more reason to upgrade :D I don't have factory speakers so can't pass judgement on them but at 1ohm the sound quality would have to suffer immensely.

I'd normally assume the midbass & tweeters have HP/LP caps and are wired in series to present a 4ohm load to the amp, If not then the factory amp is an impressive little kit to be able to load down to 1ohm :)

for what it is the average punter is happy. for the SQ nuts it sux. the doors are paralled with a cap on the tweeter. I have a spare amp here and have yet to take the top off it. its an all alloy item though the size of a VERY thick book.

there is a removal guide for the radio posted in the audio section of this forum.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
