Beginner's Complete Guide to Car Audio - 370Z Detailed Installation

Описание: See below for timestamps!

I decided to create a video completely detailing car speaker and amplifier upgrade from selecting equipment to installation.

This video explains wjat you need to know to upgrade your car's sound system with new speakers and an amplifier. The video covers how to select an amplifier, speakers, and wiring, and how to install it in a car. This video does not cover installation of aftermarket stereo's. The walkthrough is performed on a 370Z but a similar process can be followed on other vehicles, and with aftermarket stereos. Depending on if you are playing music from the OEM/aftermarket stereo or another source, wiring to the amplifier and the source will vary.
