What is in the door panels? 9" woofer? Where does the 6x9 and 1 80mm tweeter go?

The BOSE has 2" tweeters! Not still made of crappy (and hence very cheap) paper are they? Every other decent speaker manufacturer uses 1" metal dome tweeters I believe.

Ok but there are speakers low in the door correct? And the tweeter up by the window/a pillar. So what goes in each front door?

There must be 2 6x9s. Otherwise:

2 x 9" Nd woofers (neodymium-boron magnets)
1 x 6x9" midrange speakers
2 x 2" front tweeters
2 x 2" rear tweeters
1 x 80mm tweeter

Doesn't add up to 9 speakers, only 8. In fact, the photo (from zoom44) just finished displaying on my machine. The 6x9s almost have to be in the doors.

Hey, I just thought of something. If there are 2 tweeters up front and 2 in the back, and (I assume) 2 9" woofers on the rear deck, and one more tweeter (probably in the center of the dash or something) and 2 6x9s in the front doors then won't the sound in the back seat suck? Two subs behind you and tweeters but all the midrange up front can't be good.

Good thing I will always be in the front! :D :D :D

No, they are just sun visors but instead of a full covering they made holes thru them so they still allow viewing thru them and also add to the 'lightweight' ideas that makes the car.

From what I recall, Audiopilot is something you do NOT want to have! The people on the 350Z board said it is annoying as he11 and doesn't work. Some are demanding a way to disable it.
