you can thread the wires up the pillar pretty easily. just remove the kickplate and the cover on the side of the foot well, then remove the rubber from the door frame. you can slide the wires up the side of the A-pillar cover and out the hole from the tweeter cover.

stock split wires come together deep in the dash. Dont bother to use them mate, they are pissy wire anyway.

As terminal said, I ran my tweeter wires up behind the kickplates, then between the dash and the body and up into the A-pillar.

woofer(meaning, for splits) wires I just used the stock wires...i know, but i cbf'ed to replace em.

My amp is also under my passenger seat. Just remove the stock airvent under there and run the wires through there. I put some MDF below the carpet and drilled/screwed the amp onto that.

all i did was flick out the cover with a screw driver. unscrew the stock tweeter.. throw that sumwhere ull never find it. run your new wire down tha a piller. n poke it out on the door side.. poke it behind the dash with a screw driver, mount your cross over under the kick panel on the drivers side and ecu cover on passenger side. stockwires for woofer.. jsut take out the door trim (yes there is a screw in the bit that you pull on to close! (tooke me a while :banana:) then i just pulled out the head unit worked out what was the front speaker wire head unit to amp imput on x over. and what that was connected to goes to your woofer out put on the x over. took me like hr n half 2 hrs to do a semi ligit job... also i did mine in pares like both the tweeters mounted, both the woofers mounted, etc etc gd luck

that looks SICK! well done ! and woulda saved a HEAP of time

I am going thru the epic stereo install from hell at the moment haha.. I am just worried I didnt give em enough wattage- 50w RMS all round - I have the Hertz 165's too - so hopefully that gives them enough power

what i did with mine....

I put mine where the stock ones came. I did not have stock ones come with the car, so i drilled holes and put there in there.

To remove that A pillar part, you need to do the following (easiest this way)

- Remove front seats

- Remove door sills/kick panels

- Remove the covers for the seatbelt things

- Remove A pillar thing

Trust me when I say, this is NOTHING compared to removing the rear bar! Just a quick run down of the rear bar

- Remove boot carpet

- Remove holders/plastic caps etc

- Remove plastic from sides

- Remove wall carpet

- Remove rear bar

That takes about 2h, compared to the A pillar ~30 minutes.

In my system, I LOVE the tweeters placed where they are. My Hertz HSK165's are splits, with woofers in the doors and tweeters on the A Pilar. As there is no midrange speaker, the balance is made via tuning the EQ.

Hertz does actually stock midrange speakers, but not on the RS4.

If you want a comment on my sound systems pumpage, I honestly dont think it could sound any better than the way it is, ask Ian, aka humble.

i was skimming over this to see how to get the a pillar plastic off and just had a question. why does the seat need to come out??

thats what mine have, needs more :laugh:

Both AlexCim and myself mounted amps under our seats :D

my stock system still running the stock amp but aftermarket head unit, no need to upgrade my system.

unless it was done in japan ? cause it pumps pretty damn good ;):banana:

and no room underseats for amps, got electric heated seats.

so i saved myself about 800bucks in speakers :D HIGH FIVE!

      Fender flare widths across front/back of car

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Hey y'all! I'm curious about how y'all go about widebodying your cars. I noticed that when running a square setup, my front wheels are a bit more tucked in than my rear wheels. Not by much, maybe 5-10mm. This leads me to wonder - when I widebody, should I use narrower front flares and wider rear flares? I found a set of 40mm rear flares that I really like, and was thinking of pairing them with some 18mm front flares, but I don't want the car to look strange. How have others done this? Note, I'm in a sedan. Thanks!

      And if it was anything other than an auto tranny part, it might be a problem. But seeing as all auto trannies belong in the recycling bin, it's fine.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      All the schemas I can see, indicate your typical setup of ATF 'cooler' (read: heat exchanger) in the bottom radiator tank..ie; https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/5413-rb25det/engine/214/ ...but I can prattle on a bit here. These trannies have a thermistor in the sump ~ the TCU reads this and 1. bumps the line pressure up when the ATF is 'cold' and 2. prevents the TC lockup clutch from operating, until the ATF comes up to minimum operating temp (keeps the ATF 'churning' through the TC so it heats up quicker) -- trigger point is around 55C. In these conditions, the engine coolant temperature rises faster than the ATF temperature, and also helps heat the ATF up, which is why it's best to think of the in radiator tank setup as a heat exchanger ; the heat can flow in both directions... ...with these trannies, the 'hot' ATF comes out the front banjo bolt, flows through the cooler/heat exchanger, and returns to the box  via the rear banjo bolt. This gets a mention, due to the wildly different opinions wrt running auto trans fluid coolers ~ do you bypass the in radiator tank altogether, or put the cooler inline with the in radiator tank system...and then, do you put the additional cooler before of after the in radiator tank system?... ....fact is the nominal engine operating temp (roughly 75C), happens to be the ideal temperature for the ATF used in these trannies as well (no surprises there), so for the in radiator tank system to actually 'cool' the ATF, the ATF temp has to be hotter than that...lets say 100C -- you've got 25C of 'excess' heat, (slowly) pumping into the 75C coolant. This part of the equation changes drastically, when you've got 100C ATF flowing through an air cooled radiator ; you can move a lot more excess heat, faster ~ it is possible to cool the ATF 'too much' as it were...(climate matters a lot)... ...in an 'ideal' setup, what you're really trying to control here, is flash heating of the ATF, primarily produced by the TC interface. In a perfect world, wrt auto trans oil cooling, you want a dedicated trans cooler with builtin thermostatic valving - they exist. These should be run inline and before the in radiator tank system ~ when 'cold' the valving bypasses the fin stack, allowing the ATF to flow direct to the in radiator tank heat exchanger, so it works 'as intended' with helping heat the ATF up. When 'hot' (iirc it was 50C threshold), the valving shuts forcing the ATF through the cooler fin stack, and onto the in radiator tank heat exchanger...and you sort of think of it as a 'thermal conditioner' of sorts...ie; if you did cool your ATF down to 65C, the coolant will add a little heat, otherwise it works as intended... ...the 'hot' ATF coming from the front bango bolt, is instantiated from the TC when in use, so all/any flash heated oil, flows to the fluid-to-air cooler first, and because of the greater heat differential, you can get rid of this heat fast. Just how big (BTU/h) this cooler needs to be to effectively dissipate this TC flash heat, is the charm...too many variables to discuss here, but I just wanted to point out the nitty-gritty of automatic trans fluid coolers ~ they're a different beastie to what most ppl think of when considering an 'oil cooler'... /3.5cents
