Another el cheapo kevlo thread: G35 edition

So I installed an Avic Z2/Z3 in my sisters G35 about 2 years ago. It still has the stock bose speakers, it is extremely quiet lol.

So I was wondering if I run a 4 channel amp, can I use the amp to power the 4 door speakers and the HU to power the "sub", or use the amp to power the front 2 speakers and the bridge the rear channels to power the sub and use the HU to power the rear door speakers?

Can I do that? Or do I need a 5 channel amp?
Also, will the bluetooth still work over the amp? I know the AVN6600 will only work if you use the HU to power the speakers(no amp)

I DO NOT want to spend alot of money on this, so does any one know some decent components for the front? And some, 2-3way speakers for the rear door? I am gonna use my old Elemental Design 6.5" sub for the rear.

Doesn't the car have a stock amp? You can use a line output converter wired up in the harness between the HU and the signal wires and adjust the signal going to the amp.

What harness did you use in the caR?

OH YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The harness I used had RCA's on it for the stock amp so the bluetooth does work thru the amp.

Silly me.


What do you think of the speakers I put up? I just need it to be louder than the stock 150w lol

They won't be any louder than the stock, your best bet is to properly manage the signal from the z2/3 to the stock amp.

You should definitely put in maybe the scosche adapter and adjust the gain on the scosche to get the appropriate signal to the amp.
