People learn a lot more seeing the progression of one's build. That doesn't happen on FB where a lot of members here have gone or switched to FB.
No offense meant to anyone , but there are just too many a?sholes on the SC groups on FB . It is a cesspool . Many times, anything goes which makes them a very toxic environment. The loud mouths who most often don't really have nothing to show about their cars are the noisiest , criticizing people's car as though they know it all . But look at what they have , NOTHING really one can be proud of.

other than that my personal fb has both of my builds on it and instagram also..

Finally found some time to do my speaker install.. nothing crazy just a plug and play 4 inch infiniti speakers.
pretty self explanatory.. removing the door panels..
the cones all torn from the oem Nakamichi speakers
you dont need to do this.. but i had the extra set from my other SC.. so no need to purchase another plastic piece.. these speakers bolts on perfectly no need to redrill or anything..i didnt go with a crazy upgrade just wanted OEM replacements
comparison pictures of the two
after that just put the fronts back all together.. its very simple
on to the rear.. to remove this piece i took my time and be very careful not to break anything..
you start off by taking the third brake light out and the subwoofer cover that its connected to..
start by popping it up.. it has two clips holding it down and it should slide off.. make sure you unplug the 3rd brake light in the process
next removing the two plastic clip that holds on this brittle rear deck cover
this part right here i know because i've done it before.. just make sure your edges clear the pillars in the corner.. and this deck u pull towards the front of the car and it should come out perfectly.. just be gentle and dont yank it..
these are the slide in clips here that holds onto the metal frame
pretty simple now.. 4 bolts holds it on and unplug it.. when u take off the four bolts it should be able to pop right off.. mines never been taken off before so it was stubborn.. i just bumped it from the underside and it came out.. do not try and pry it out u might break the plastic housing if u do.
comparison photos of the two speakers
after u get done just reinstall everything.. my after shot... i didnt replace the sub because it wasnt broken.. im still doing research on what to replace it with..as for now everything works good.. my highs and mid may be a bit overwhelming cause of the two way speaker i choose but it sounds good overall

holidays creeping up... been busy with my GTE car also... going big single and motor swap been neglecting my red sc400..
slowly but surely its the little things in this car needs to be fixed...
got some buckle covers for like 10 bucks at the junkyard... definitely a great find to replace my broken ones...

Holidays are over!! been busy with life .. work etc..
finally got some time to install my radio... this radio honestly i was iffy about it.. my old setup was nice and sleek.. but i felt like it was outdated..
this new radio is android ios 9.1 base.. basically a tablet.. i can tether my internet.. watch movies basically do everything on it.. for navigation i can use my google maps i just download the app on the radio.. or waze..
its a 10 inch screen like i said at first i was iffy.. but it slowly grew on to me.

Forgot to mention the screen is detachable and you can adjust it anyway you want.. the neck is flexible.. thats how i got it to fit under the ac unit ...
no need for the volume *** and that butterfly cup holder.. they are useless anyways right?... my ac ***.. i can still twist it just gotta reach over .. it isnt bad..
