After you get the 2 small rear cubby/storage boxes out, look up inside with a flashlight and you will see the little metal "retainer clips" that hold the dual speaker panel in place. If you push up on the bottom of the clips they will pop up+release that section of the panel. After the the "retainer clips" are released, go to the trunk area and pull the panel (starting at one side) a little rearward to release the top dual speaker panel from the vertical trunk panel (there are 6 places where the 2 panels connect to each other). Don't pull it too fast or you can break where they connect. I can't believe the video poster left that part out. Maybe he forgot to film that part..
Hey guys and @ unfinishedquest89, my birthday is coming up and I’ve had my cerulean bay blue 2003 Nissan 350z for almost 5 years now, she’s running strong @205,XXX miles. I’m treating myself to a sub today, there’s two amps in the back, so many cool things going on guys, her clutch is great feeling, a little squeaky but that’s ok right?? I truly enjoy conversing with my fellow 35de prior and current owners. We all can agree this car is special. What blows my mind is that it is the same from the R34 yet it does not come turbo charged yet has the longevity of a 200k mile turbo charged skyline, yet NA. I mean that she stands to stride and stretch her legs for many years to come. Can I ask y’all for some advice?? Of course I wish to keep her stock. Oh, gotta go wife is calling
Man your vids are more informative than some of the Saturady morning shows that the speed channel used to show. I'd straight up sponsor you man.. Good stuff!
I sound deadened my pods also just like yours but I still have that hollow sound. I wished I had put in hush mat in the pods like I did my doors. Granted I do have my sound stage to the front and of course the real for fill. On certain bass notes at low volume I can hear that boxy sound.
+Z33 Garage I already had the diff bushings changed out Energy Suspension. We're going to just unbolt the axle shafts and slide them out to service then. I'm a big fan of better bushings.
Another great video AJ, very helpful. Although, you didn't explain how to remove the panels that are actually covering the rear speakers? I've read that it is removed in a certain way..
yes i have the metra harness but for some reason the antenna power supply didn't have power so i have to run the blue antenna all a way to the back in order to power the antenna and i have known all my station back
+Omar Ortega Hmmm, I'll mention it when I do the head unit install in my car. I've worked on a few and this is the first time I've head of this issue. Thanks for letting us know.
Past few years we extend the wires, solder and heat shrink and then solder the wires directly to the speaker. Material is more consistent being just copper and reliability is much higher because it can't arc, due to a poor crimp.
Anthony you know when i change the aftermarket stereo for the pioneer avi 1800 i have a really bad reception so let you know 350z 2006 in the thunk on the left side is the antenna box need to be power or connect because if not can cause bad reception can you make a video about this i think a lot people don't know about this
+Omar Ortega Did you hook up the blue/ white and the blue wire at the after market harness to the Pioneer harness and the black/ white to black and chassis ground those ground wires?
Great video. Thanks for posting. I noticed at 6:09 in the video there's an aftermarket sub in the stock location in a custom enclosure. Do you have dimensions for that enclosure? I'm going to do the same thing and figure if you've already done it there's no sense in reinventing the wheel. Thanks for all the great vidoes! Keep 'em coming!
+j pugs Unfortunately I didn't build that enclosure, so you'll have to measure. I would also start from scratch because you want your enclosure dimensions to be matched to whatever sub woofer you intend on installing.
Hi, Anthony. I follow your videos often. Thank you for such detailed tutorials. I'm trying to disassemble the rear area of my roadster, but can't find anything on the speakers. I followed your video for all but the top portion, roll cage area. Any thoughts or links you may know of?
Thanks for watching the videos! I'm not familiar with the Roadster at all honestly. You might want to check out my350z.com and someone might have written a tutorial on there.
@@AnthonyJ350 Thank you!! By a post I found someone said by Nissan design you have to break parts getting it apart and order new. I wanted to keep things hidden with stock appearance, but it unfortunately looks like it's router/Dremel time. Again, thank you for your instruction in all videos. They've saved me a great deal of time with this audio project.
@@FZappaFan1 Glad to hear the audio videos have helped you out! I have some more 350Z videos coming up soon too! If you want stickers for your car or whatever, email me your shipping address at info@gofasthavefun.ca and I'll send some out!
The Roadsters have a different setup. Any idea how to take off panels on 350Z Roadster? I've looked everywhere. I changed head unit and front speakers and I'm keeping the Bose Sub and Amp. Sounds much better already but still would like to change rear speakers.
I had a pro shop look at it ( they did the head unit, rear camera & front speakers) and they said the only way to take the rear panel off breaks pins for the roll over enclosure. This is verified online in the only post we could find online regarding the rear panel removal on the roadsters. I have some nice Rockford Fosgate's I want to install. How did you do it without breaking these pins. There are two per side and replacement is $70 each! I don't want to pay $280 for pins that as of right now are fine!
Ric Tkac that's what I heard at first . However I partially took everything apart to see for myself and its all snapped in , I'll be putting the rear speakers in next weekend
Do you know if the bose amp powers all the speakers or just the sub? I have an aftermarket head unit and it doesnt sound as good as i believe it should. Wondering if the internal amp mixed with the bose amp could be the issue. :)
Is there a setting in the car to just play sound on one side of the car?, because I only get music on the right car but I think the left side beeps when missing with the setting in the car stereo..
Hey, your vidz have been really informative but I wanted to ask you a question. Do you think it would be a good idea to remove the stock sub and build a box that would go in the boot? Thanks in advance!
Typically yes if you have someone experienced build it. Mass manufacturing will have cost limitations with material, that's usually why custom tends to sound better.
Ima be cutting my speaker box out completely cause ima be gutting my Z from the Seats back completely but was just wondering if having those connectors for the rear speakers unplugged cause any problems?
is there any way to fix my stock radio on my 350z? I constantly keeps cutting out an I'm debating on ripping it all out but don't necessarily have the funds to do so.
Agerix Official I post tests on my Facebook page. I don't like testing it because I don't use the best mic and the speakers are not the same so I don't think it's a super accurate representation. My exhaust videos are somewhat what the vehicles sound like. Because I know a lot of people will start saying "that sound system sucks" when it's their laptop or computer speakers can't reproduce the sound.
+jody024 I usually use my 12 volt Makita impact but I would prefer to show people at home to take it apart by hand cause I see them stripping stuff. Also using impact on dash pieces can make incandescent bulbs fail prematurely from the vibration. That's why I don't show me using it most of the time.
+Todd D This was a different car. The car I put component speakers in was my car (2006). This car happens to be owned by one of my followers who was gracious enough to let me do a video on this install. This car had the BOSE amp bypassed so there was after market wiring. You can use the factory wiring though.
Hello j my 03 enthusiast Stock head , Rear speaker both don't work ,I did the fade check there just no sound , yes they are plugged, , you things both are bad? Also you did not show how to take the Top Portion of the plastic/panel. Thanks
Really depends on how "bright" you want the sound to be. I would definitely sound deaden the doors and the floor. And I wouldn't even consider changing the speakers without running a 5 channel amp to drive them and a sub woofer.
AnthonyJ350....Ive got a roadster and I cant find any info on removing the rear speaker panel. Do I have to remove the roll bar covers or wll the rear cover lift past it or from under Id hate to remove the roll barcover cause may break them. Service manual call those parts disposable.
"So you don't break anything...." I'm really new at pulling panels and I find myself breaking retaining pins - or worse their mounting holes - rather often. I particularly had trouble pulling the A-piller off. A vid on repairing this kind of f*** up would be very useful. Thanks.
B Welkinator Haha well to make a repair video I would have to break it first. Keep in mind I have a lot of specialty tools for interiors and have a lot of experience taking them apart.
The Speakers are great and awesome video's thanks . Wanted to ask did you replace the factory wires or are the stock wires from the head unit to the speaker good?
+jmidesigns On this particular car new lines were run. However on my car (it's an Enthusiast) I will be using the factory wiring and putting 100 watts RMS through them using an Alpine PDX V9 amplifier.
Sorry I forgot to mention. Most of my videos will carry over for most 350Zs. The front bumper light video is for 2006+ and all the bolt-on engine videos are for DE motors like yours.
AnthonyJ350 Yeah I understand that much. From my understanding the base has different headlights then all the other trims correct. Because that is what I want to upgrade first.
can you please explain why my speakers are not working. they worked before but now i have a new HU and its not working. its Bose 2003 350z. please help. I've looked everywhere and still cant find an answer. id really appreciate it if you could help. Thanks
I have a question that you probably can answer. I recently installed a new Head unit in my 350 and it's really quiet unless I turn it almost all the way up. Is that the factory Bose amp messing with it and how could I bypass it to get rid of the problem.It's an 08 350z.
On the 350Z's and G35's you have to gain the factory amp. So you have to turn the volume up on the factory head unit 3/4 of the way up then turn off the system and unplug it. Did you speaker level in or use the harness using the pre-outs?
501joshb If you plan on doing a full speaker swap I highly suggest bypassing the Bose amp and install either a 5 channel or a small footprint amp like Alpine's power pack. ua-cam.com/video/PvzO2OXc3nI/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/EA24kELJdUI/v-deo.html
+AnthonyJ350 that'd be much better to just bypass it and not have to worry. Thanks a lot for the help. Love your videos on the 350 they are a lot of help.
This isn't my car but like what @cincysilvia8807 said, offset or spacers. I would recommend offset (not not too agressive), so there's less parts. Here's a video where we changed the wheels over on my car. ua-cam.com/video/x9XLGAojw6w/v-deo.html
The car in the video is a Track Edition but I own an enthusiast. Not sure what you mean but "those speakers being available". I did change the rear speakers in my enthusiast.
You can get adapters from the stock harness to universal speaker outs like these: www.crutchfield.com/p_120727400/Metra-72-7400-Speaker-Wiring-Harness.html?tp=3097 and with that you hook up the new speakers still powered by the headunit. If you're gonna use a 4-channel amp for the rears and door components you'll likely be running your own new lines from your install location to the speakers.
bro how the heck did u remove the ciggarette lighter plug off of it cause im doing this right now, and believe it or not ive been sruck trying to get that fucking plug off the actuall lighter and i cant.
AnthonyJ350 yeah thats it, bro!!! I was taking all the panels out yesterday and when i got to that lighter plug part i got stuck. i was trying hard to pull it out and it wouldnt come out. it took me 2 hrs to figure it out. i think that because it had never been taken out it just got stock there really hard. i was trying to be gentle and not brake it so i got a tiny screw driver and push it out super slow. Thank you so much for replying bro I really appreciate that.
That's the only thing i hate about Nissan 350z you have to remove so much shit just to get to what you need to replace same goes for the headlights with the bumper. I hope the 370z is alot more simple.
The 350Z is very aftermarket friendly however, the 370Z is similar. Small problem to deal with compared to newer cars and how complex they are and panels in newer vehicles not wanting to come apart as easily.
@@EstanislaoGTI Fronts are where you want to focus your efforts for good sound quality, I have a video for them ua-cam.com/video/VUzfINPAFcE/v-deo.html
Paweł Be Yes (that's how my car is setup) for the avg Joe coax in the rear is common. For what you're saying then those setups would have amplifiers and/or DSP capable to band pass the rear speakers anyways.
You're American aren't you? I'm Canadian and that's how the letter is pronounced. Also majority of English speaking countries pronounce it that way, including England which is in the Commonwealth, which Canada is also a part of.
I love how you just skipped the part of removing the last panel that I can’t get off
After you get the 2 small rear cubby/storage boxes out, look up inside with a flashlight and you will see the little metal "retainer clips" that hold the dual speaker panel in place.

Ya a lot of vehicle disassembly required for this one.
what volume are those two small enclosures for the speakers?
I'm not sure, I never measured. What are you trying to accomplish?
is it worth it to upgrade the rear speakers? i've always heard the most sound should come from the fronts. and how good is the oem subwoofer?
Always focus on the fronts first and oem sub sucks to me. plus it's all worn out by now.
I ordered some JBL stage 602 speakers for my z for the rear, but I am running stock speakers up front. Do u think the sound will be over powered ?
Ya it won't sound that clear since the rear speakers fire into the seat. I would change the front too. And add sound deadening!

Change the head unit and you can plug USB to your phone or Bluetooth. Try to stay away from aux.

I've gotta pull all that trim off just to get to the speakers! 😫
Unfortunately yes
I did this thank you
Glad it helped!
what would i connect the speakers to? Would i need an amp ?
You can get adapters from the stock harness to universal speaker outs like these:
www.crutchfield.com/p_120727400/Metra-72-7400-Speaker-Wiring-Harness.html?tp=3097
and with that you hook up the new speakers still powered by the headunit.
If you're gonna use a 4-channel amp for the rears and door components you'll likely be running your own new lines from your install location to the speakers.
Would you still buy this speaker in 2020, or would you buy a different one. If you would buy a different one tell me what you would buy
I would get JL Audio or Blam Audio if I were to choose another brand.
@@AnthonyJ350 ok, thanks for responding
What size speakers you use bro?
6.5" Hertz
I love the factory BOSE. GOOD ENOUGH.
Dylan Verkler Its ok. Not very clear or detailed though.
bro how the heck did u remove the ciggarette lighter plug off of it cause im doing this right now, and believe it or not ive been sruck trying to get that fucking plug off the actuall lighter and i cant.
??? there's like a little lock and you push or pull. I don't remember exactly which one it is.
AnthonyJ350 yeah thats it, bro!!! I was taking all the panels out yesterday and when i got to that lighter plug part i got stuck. i was trying hard to pull it out and it wouldnt come out. it took me 2 hrs to figure it out. i think that because it had never been taken out it just got stock there really hard. i was trying to be gentle and not brake it so i got a tiny screw driver and push it out super slow. Thank you so much for replying bro I really appreciate that.
what wheels and tire size do you have?
+StanTheFirst Umm this wasn't my car, but here's a video on my wheel and tire combo. ua-cam.com/video/x9XLGAojw6w/v-deo.html
those wheels are HRE if im not mistaken.
those wheels are HRE if im not mistaken.
What speaker size are they
6.5"
Wow. They couldn’t just put removable covers like every other car. Gotta damn near take apart the whole inside. Really the weather striping to.
Why would you want to make it serviceable? That would make sense for technicians and consumers. It's all about manufacturing and costs.
How do I know what amp to buy?
Depends on the sub and what you're trying to accomplish.
same steps for convertible?
+Jewelian Crossley No idea. I'd assume they're a little different because of the side panels.
what size are these speakers?
6.5"
AnthonyJ350 so i can bolt on only 6.5 inch speakers behind the seats and in the doors?
WHAT SIZE ARE THOSE SPEAKERS BOI?
JUNEORJUNE 6.5"
THANKS BRO
wait so the 350 doesn't come with speakers?
It does. we just replaced them.
Can’t figure out how to get the pocket out. HELP
Pull it out, use a pry tool to help.
all he had too do was a instrumental free of use lol 😂
Thanks for the feedback!
350 zay
Merci 😊
You're welcome
What side skirts are those
where are you located
+jdrobertson76 Vancouver Lower Mainland BC.
Why didn’t they just make it so the grille can come off
Harder to manufacture.
Good👏👏👏
Thanks for watching!
The wheels please for the love of God tell me where you got them lol
They're Gramlights 57S Pro with Rays metallic coating with a Titanium lip.
That's the only thing i hate about Nissan 350z you have to remove so much shit just to get to what you need to replace same goes for the headlights with the bumper. I hope the 370z is alot more simple.
The 350Z is very aftermarket friendly however, the 370Z is similar. Small problem to deal with compared to newer cars and how complex they are and panels in newer vehicles not wanting to come apart as easily.
@@AnthonyJ350 i wanna remove my speakers but ill probably just do the doors i only have a new pair i bought.
@@EstanislaoGTI Fronts are where you want to focus your efforts for good sound quality, I have a video for them ua-cam.com/video/VUzfINPAFcE/v-deo.html
gotta 1up the guy who worked on it before you lmao
Daniel Avila Just making improvements ;p. I'd one up myself now that I learned about FAST Rings.
why do you say 350zed
Because I'm Canadian.
+AnthonyJ350 oh ok makes a lot more sense now lol
Nice, way more of a bitch to do than I expected lol
Ya it's not the most fun thing to do on the car lol. I just put the Akebono BBK on and I think that was easier.
lost royalty/hentai kings car?
Yup, this is VancouverZ33's car.
Now to remove the rear speakers we need to start by dropping the engine. Geez laweez Nissan you could’ve created an easier?
I know, I need to talk to the engineers that design cars sometimes. A lot of designs like this are so unnecessary.
Hey there's something on your hand.
+kelby me Ah thanks man. Wouldn't have got it off if it wasn't for you telling me :p
Shit thats alot of work
MMMhmmmmm
Never once do you mention the size of the speaker…
6.5"
Rear speakers shouldn't be coaxials Mids and highs are supposed to be coming from front. You're messing the soundscene.
Paweł Be Yes (that's how my car is setup) for the avg Joe coax in the rear is common. For what you're saying then those setups would have amplifiers and/or DSP capable to band pass the rear speakers anyways.
Paweł Be P.S. it's hard to purchase a mid range woofer by itself.
thanks .. but please dont say zed ever again.. thank you have a nice day .
You're American aren't you? I'm Canadian and that's how the letter is pronounced. Also majority of English speaking countries pronounce it that way, including England which is in the Commonwealth, which Canada is also a part of.
What the hell nissan lmao
You should see changing out a headlight in this thing.
