Hi guys,

I need some rear speakers for my r32 , and i dont know shit about car audio.

At the moment the car has a KENWOOD kdc-mp4029g headunit installed , and some 4x6 JBL gto6426e speakers in the doors. Now what rear speakers would be good? JBLs again? Also i will need an amp right? How many channels etc. I dont care about putting a sub in the boot.

BTW did i mention im a tight ass , so cheaper the better , but i dont want super crap :)

I would remove the 4x6 and put a set of JBL 6" (or similar speakers) in the front doors and a second set of 6" in the rear.

amp isn't really needed on something that small.

Just to offer up an alternative viewpoint; seeing as you're seated at the front and your ears face forwards I would leave the rear speakers factory for now. The only time we bother upgrading the rear speakers is if you either A; have people in the rear all the time or B; run surround sound. I'd love to sell you another set but you really do not need to upgrade them.

Why not inject all your funds into the front where you are? Maybe spend that money saved (on not buying rears) on some sound deadening?

As far as an amplifier goes, I would suggest something similar to Chris in that I would first try it with just the deck. You might find the decks internal amplifier is powerful enough to satify your listening levels. If it is not, then go for the amplifier option. :P

That sounds good to me. Where are you located? If you're in QLD you might want to go and see Chris (Audio Express) as he can set you up with all your speakers needs.

Just to further explain what I was talking about when I said you sit at the front and your ears face forwards. The Pinna (also called the auricle) is the visible part of the outer ear. It collects sound and directs it into the outer ear canal. Ass you can see (and feel) if faces forwards therefore placing speakers in the rear isn't really necessary.:P

This is the reason many demo and competition cars have their rear speakers turned down or simply don't have them at all. :)

Note; obviously this rule doesn't apply if you're using surround sound.;)

Thanks for the info mate , im from ballarat VIC. The JBL 6x4 in the front are new , they were the only ones i could fit into the factory door mounts. I didnt want to have to cut shit etc.

I was thinking maybe the JBL 6x9 in the rear would give me a little more overall bass ?? What do you think?

i think u should just disconnect the rear factroy speakers.

i know u dont want a sub but the best sound is if u have set of splits and a sub in the back.

6x9's is a waste of money in my eyes.

im running a set of alpine type R splits and a type R sub. with a 5 channel amp. And the slide touch headunit and sounds perfect. i know its a bit of money but u can go with a cheaper brand and will sound the same just not as clear.

but yea i think splits and sub the way to go.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
