Hi guys. I have a 2004 350GT Premium. I'm not too happy with the BOSE sound system so I decided that I'm gonna change the setup.

-New Head unit.

-New Speakers

-Amp

-Subwoofer

I've had a look around the forum but I can't really find anyone who has done a complete audio revamp of their V.

Can anyone recommend someone or a place in Sydney that will be able to do the job?

Is it better to replace the control panel to accommodate the head unit? or should I just

place it inside the glove box?

any suggestions would be great.

I purchased the separate AC controls from Infinity USA and fitted them to the stock fascia which has been modified for the single DIN Head Unit.

Great setup there Mark.

Would I be right in saying those A pillar splits are something from the top-shelf brands? - Looks like Morel to me but could be wrong. Do you mind walking us through your setup? Or if you've detailed it in another post could you kindly link us up?

Cheers

very nice.. though i wont think i'll be spending that much.. i'll be spending more on the range of $1.5K-2K

just started shopping around ebay for the dash conversion. strathfield car radios is selling the dash conversion for $500 :|

massive rip off.

Great setup there Mark.

Thanks Tarun. The system is as follows:

Speakers - Hybrid Audio Technology or HAT. 7.1" midbass, 3" midrange and 1" tweeter.

Amps - Zed audio Leviathan 6x150w one for left side one for right.

Head Unit is the Pioneer P99.

Subs are Image Dynamics IDQ12's

All speaker cabling is Canare.

Signal cable is 8 channel Mogami snake cable w/- stinger bullit ends.

I've got a 160GB hardrive in the centre console connected to the HU via USB so I rarely use the CD.

A link to my build thread on MEA is here. Sorry, it's a members only section so the link will be no good unless you join MEA. :) but well worth it if you are into car audio

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
