Upgrading my nismo

[kryptonpwn]

Hey guys new to the forum here just looking for a little advice. I just recently purchased a 2012 270z nismo edition and love it... except the sound system. Looking for a little upgrade so far this is what i have:

Head unit: Pioneer NEX 4100

Speakers: Alpine SPC-60c component speakers

Sub: Alpine Type R 10"D2 (or should I go with 4 ohms?)

Amp: ??? completely clueless as to which amp to get, hoping to keeping it around $150-$200.

am i missing anything?

thanks for your patience everyone, im experience is performance but clueless when it comes to audio.

What you have is fine, eventually you'll want to amp those components too.

For now, look into a ppi phantom 1000.1 for your subwoofer. Buy the D2 and wire down to 1 ohm.

I agree with Jeff, I have a ppi 1000 and I love it and would recommend it to anyone. get a d2 and put the sub in a custom ported box. None of that prefab ****

It's not a bad idea to do the big 3, but you'd probably get by just fine without it. When in doubt it doesn't hurt to beef up your electrical. @mylows10 sells big 3 kits precut and crimped of you're in the market for one.

The box is the most important part. Where in california are you? We got a really good box guy on the forum thats in lake forest. In norcal we got someone that can build you a nice box too. Most of what you buy online is not really custom performance wise, its just mainly looks. Boxes are built specifically around the vehicle's acoustics and the subwoofer's electromechanical parameters.

definition of looks over performance. Those port dimensions look like they are for a 6" sub. But if looks are what you are going for man.. go for it.
