Funk's 95 Nissan Maxima Build Log
15 Attachment(s)
Hey guys,
This build log will follow modifications to my 95 Maxima GLE. This weekend I decided to start my first build. I really wanted to have a vehicle with a nice sound system geared towards loud SQ. I replaced all the stock speakers, putting in 2 pair of Infinity Kappa 652.9i and an Infinity Reference 475a amplifier to power them. The speakers are rated for 75w RMS each and the amp outputs 90w RMS per channel. I finished installing them on sunday and love how they sound! They have a clean and loud sound with great highs and good midbass. I plan on getting a woofer next, but that is still a plan in the works. Here's the pics I took. A shot of my car. https://www.caraudioforumz.com/attac...ine=1323925946 In order to get the rear deck speakers out I had to remove the entire backseat to get to the cardboard cover that is over the stock speakers. https://www.caraudioforumz.com/attac...ine=1323925946 https://www.caraudioforumz.com/attac...ine=1323925946 A shot of the rear deck. https://www.caraudioforumz.com/attac...ine=1323925946 These things were a bitch to pry off. The clips were really tough since they hadn't been taken off before. https://www.caraudioforumz.com/attac...ine=1323925946 This is what the rear deck is like with the cardboard cover removed, showing the new speakers in place. https://www.caraudioforumz.com/attac...ine=1323925946 https://www.caraudioforumz.com/attac...ine=1323925946 Door panels removed to get access to the speaker housing. https://www.caraudioforumz.com/attac...ine=1323925946 I applied a few layers of Resisto Redzone to the door panels as sound deadner and baked it on with a heatgun. That STICKS. It was kinda pointless to wear gloves cause they just stuck to and ripped on the adhesive. https://www.caraudioforumz.com/attac...ine=1323925946 https://www.caraudioforumz.com/attac...ine=1323925946 https://www.caraudioforumz.com/attac...ine=1323925946 In October someone broke into my car, smashing my window. I tried to pick out most of the glass bits that got stuck in the door frame, then vacuumed it out with a shopvac. https://www.caraudioforumz.com/attac...ine=1323925946 Here's where I ran the amp wiring through the backseat into the trunk. There is a carpeted kinda carboard lining in the trunk that wires come out of, concealing the wire nicely. https://www.caraudioforumz.com/attac...ine=1323925946 This is the spot on the firewall where I drilled a hole big enough to fit 4 awg cable through. https://www.caraudioforumz.com/attac...ine=1323925946 The amp powered up with its bright blue rails. I've positioned it better and cleaned up the trunk and hid the wires better since I took this picture. https://www.caraudioforumz.com/attac...ine=1323925946 I'll get some better pictures of the trunk now that I've finished putting everything in. It looks a lot more 'finished' than in this last pic. I'll also get some better pics of the cars' body when I wash it next. As soon as I finish editing some video I took I'll be posting a few videos to youtube to show the system in action. Thanks for checking out my build log. - Funk |
Nice effort. I don't see a grommet around the firewall hole though. It's a good idea.

I believe Dukk is basically saying, anytime you have wire going through metel you should have a non conductive grommet... For IASCA(the sq Org) its required for safety reasons.. rubrubb,slice smoke...:D |
Right on man, good idea. Keep the pics coming...:thumbsup:
