Infiniti G37 Install

[thrash 10+ year member]

Hello everyone! I just bought a 2008 Infiniti G37. It has the premium package with the Bose system in it with navigation. I am looking to upgrade. Here is what I have bought so far, nothing has been installed yet.

1. JL Audio 10w6v2 (one sub)

2. JL Audio 500/1v2

3. Custom Made Sub Enclosure (4080 enclosures)

4. MTX RE-Q5

5. Stinger 5 farad SPC505

6. Dynamat Extreme Bulk Pk. #10455

It has been a long time since I have been into any kind of aftermarket car audio (approx. 12years). I want to keep the factory headunit since it has navigation and a very nice screen etc. I have already done a nav hack on it too.

My question is, how does the setup sound so far? I want to add some highs/mids to the system, but how can that be done using the factory headunit? I would like to add one JL Audio amp and a component unit (maybe front and back), but I was told the easiest way to do this would be to replace the headunit with something aftermarket, but I do not want to do that. I was told that if I don't, then it isn't the preferred way to do it and that there would be a lot of wiring etc. and that returning it to a factory setup if I ever wanted to would be difficult. What is everyones advice and suggestions for keeping the factory headunit and adding like some Alpine Type R or Xpro components? I need all the help/advice I can get. I am basicly a rookie at this all over again. Can I easily add the components and run the whole described system from the factory headunit? I bought the re-q5 and maybe this helps with this, but to be honest I really don't know much about all this anymore. In fact I never did know a whole lot. All you experts chime in and get to posting. Thanks guys! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

Thanks for the links. So how does the setup sound so far? Is the integration of an extra amp and component highs possible while keeping the factory headunit?

You'll need a factory integration adapter such as the JL Cleansweep or the Rockford 3sixty. I think Alpine has one as well. Those units will do everything you need from converting to a line out for the amps to providing a signal switched remote lead for the amps. The 3sixty has smoe EQ functionality as well. The Cleansweep will cancle out the factory EQing (the Bose systems have a LOT) to give you a flat freq response to start with.
