Not Satisfied With The Bose

[Clikedit]

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.

that there is $3.5k worth of installation (labour & materials only

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.

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
