2009 Nissan GT-R Skyline: Hertz & Audison Audio System Upgrade

The Nissan GT-R is known for raw performance, but owners often look to match its thrilling speed with equally powerful sound. For this 2009 GT-R Skyline, Sound Concept executed a full Hertz and Audison upgrade—integrating high-end electronics, powerful amplification, and acoustic treatment to transform the factory system into a clean, dynamic audio experience.

System Highlights

Factory Integration with Audison

The factory navigation radio output was fed into an Audison Bit One summing processor, which restructured and optimized the OEM signal for high-fidelity playback
Retained the look and usability of the factory head unit while unlocking full control and tuning potential

Amplification & Power

A Hertz HP5 amplifier delivered 980 watts RMS across five channels
Dedicated power for front, rear, and subwoofer channels ensured balanced output and effortless dynamics at any volume

Speaker System

Hertz High Energy Components were installed in the front stage for crisp highs and strong mid-bass
Custom rear panels were fabricated and wrapped in black leather, blending seamlessly with the GT-R's interior while housing upgraded speakers

Acoustic Treatment

Inner door skins, rear panels, and trunk panels were layered with Dynamat Xtreme in a criss-cross pattern
This reduced resonance, road noise, and vibration, providing a quieter cabin and cleaner audio

Subwoofer Integration

A custom fiberglass enclosure was molded into the left rear corner of the trunk
Finished to factory quality, maximizing cargo space while delivering deep, controlled bass
The OEM sub panel was wrapped and stitched to match the GT-R's center console, preserving OEM aesthetics

Why This Build Matters

The GT-R delivers supercar-level performance, but with this upgrade it also provides:

Cleaner, distortion-free sound even at high volumes
Balanced power delivery across all five channels
Factory-quality finishes that maintain the GT-R's sleek interior
Reduced cabin noise, allowing the music to cut through with clarity

FAQ

Will a processor like the Audison Bit One work with my factory radio?

Yes. Summing processors are designed to integrate seamlessly with OEM radios, optimizing their output for aftermarket systems.

Does Dynamat really make a difference?

Absolutely. Proper acoustic treatment lowers cabin noise, eliminates resonance, and helps speakers perform at their full potential.

Can you still keep the GT-R's trunk space with a custom subwoofer?

Yes. Our fiberglass enclosures are molded to fit factory corners, preserving as much usable cargo area as possible.
