Hey mate,

Have a look at these two, might be the products you are looking for.

Product 1

Product 2

The first one would be nice, the second one better as it is higher powered and will give you more output.

Either way the both come with, sub, amp, box and cables.

Has anybody had any problems with depth when putting splits into the front doors..

i was told that alpine wont fit.. due to the fact that i want my window to come all the way down without hittin back of speakers..

And i dont want to have to put in massive spacers that make my inner pannel part to stick out..

What brands would fit?? (depth wise)

Hey guys

Just wondering what the pick is out of JBL and mtx or are they much the same.

I didn't want to splash out and go the real high end gear but want to spend a bit more than say your pioneer or kenwoods.

I'm talking speakers subs and amps..

Lastly, what do you guys think of installs at places like wow, strathfield of JB?

your in brissy I see. leave those alone. JB is contracted and its a mixed bag (most have 17y/o with little idea.) wow depends on the shop. SCR - forget it.

fire me a PM if you want a decent job done. (click sig)

Hey all. Im after a nice and simple decent system. Im only going to go for speakers and no sub woofer. Im basically after decent all round quality. Im thinking of the Pioneer Pro series 6" splits component speakers for the front and then a half decent 6" rear speaker and sound deaden the front doors and get a decent amplifier. Would this be alright???

Hi there, first time post as I just joined (buying jakegts's R33 on the weekend) and I'm looking for a headdeck to suit.

After a single DIN, but the problem I'm having selecting one is choosing one that can run two amps (one for splits front and rear, and one for sub) but also has RCA inputs, that can be selected as a source.

The main reason is that I'm looking at something like this for the second DIN slot, as my iPod is absolutely chockers of music. I currently have an FM transmitter for my work car, but quite frankly, this just doesn't cut it.

Anyone know of any headdecks that can do this that are quite nice? I'm more an Xplod person myself, however I'm willing to switch camps (no double entendre intended) if the right headunit is found.

Thanks for all help in advance!

Im researching some splits for car and also headunit. I would like to stick to clarion as i can get discounts through them.

SRS1752HX

http://clarion.com/au/en/products/2006/aud...9306870302.html

SRS1686

http://clarion.com/au/en/products/2006/aud...9306870100.html

Should i spend the extra for the HX model or will the 1686 be plenty?

Also,

Is there a clarion headunit with 4channel output + subwoofer output? Cant seem to find one with sub out..

Cheers

Discounts thru Clarion, hmm that sounds nice. I didnt know they dealt with the public direct.

I dont think they do, i'll be getting them through a friend.

How about this clarion headunit? Its the only one i can find with 3 pre-outs in their range

DX766MP

http://clarion.com/au/en/products/2006/aud...9306869871.html

Or would a pioneer/alpine unit be better for the same amount of money?

I am keen for some decent advice on the speakers. I have all of the other components for the system and now I need to match some decent speakers so I can get it all installed in one go.

Here is what I have so far:

- Kicker KX200.2 Amp (for the sub)

- Kenwood 200W RMS 12" sub

- JVC KW-AVX700 head unit (http://www.jvc-australia.com/JVC/client/c_...&prodID=173)

As far as speakers go the guys on the forum have convinced me to go with 6.5" for the front and back.

I don't really want to spend more than $200 on a set of front splits and the backs don't need to be anything too flash right? The speakers will be running off the head unit so I need to find speakers that are going to match the HU right?

My original plan was to go with a set of Alpine SPE-17CS ($138) 35W RMS splits for the front and a cheaper set of Alpines for the back. I am not too sure of the output quality of the HU (20W RMS?? is what I was told) and have been told that the above Alpines will certainly match it well. This is my main concern as I don't want to waste money on better speakers unless the HU is gunna have the power to drive them.

Anyway guys, give me your advice on the above. Would you go with the Alpines? What others would you suggest? Don't want to spend more than $300 all up for front and backs.

Brands and model numbers would also be a big help as there are so many different types out there.

Thanks guys...

Hello,

Currently in the process of choosing an amplifies and due to time constraints have to make a choice now or i lose a chance of a good deal.

The subwoofer amps im deciding between are:

- US AUDIO USA554-220Z - 4 x 50w & 1 x 220w RMS + sub w/ box

- Clarion APX1300 - 1 x 300w RMS @ 4ohm

- Jaycar Response AA-0424 - 500w RMS x 1 @ 4ohm

the US Audio amp+sub package is 2nd hand and selling for the same price as brand new clarion/jaycar amp.

Im leaning towards the US Audio amp w/ sub due to its low price but im not sure if i will be wasting money.

Any help will be great :D

Thanks

- Patrick

      V37 Suspension change

      By Duncan · Posted

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before

      OK, so a bunch of trim needs to come off to get to the rear shock top mounts. Once the seat is out of the way, the plastic trim needs to come off. Remove 2 clips at the top then slide the trim towards the centre of the car to clear the lower clip Next you need to be able to lift the parcel shelf, which means you need to remove the mid dark trim around the door, and then the upper light trim above the parcel shelf. The mid trim has a clip in the middle to remove first, then lift the lowest trim off the top of the mid trim (unclips). At the top there is a hidden clip on the inner side to release first by pulling inwards, then the main clip releases by pulling the top towards the front of the car. The door seal comes off with the trim, just put them aside. The the lighter upper trim, this is easy to break to top clips so take it carefully. There is a hidden clip towards the bottom and another in the middle to release first by pulling inwards. Once they are out, there are 3 clips along the rear windscreen side of the panel that are hard to get under. This is what the rear of the panel looks like to assist:

      R34 manual conversion speed signal wire finding, need help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. Autos typically work from the speed sensor on the pinion shaft of the diff. I also think that even if you have a proper speed sensor for the bog manual in the manual box, that the signal it outputs is not compatible with the auto dash anyway. You should consult that manual (the book, not the gearbox).

      And I just realised that that advice is slightly nonsensical for a GTR, because you need 2 of them. But it is otherwise true.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Having had a reasonable look at the car, I'll be able to remove the (one time) rams and retract the hinge (they are held in the down location by a tiny (m3?) sacrificial screw) which will get it physically back in shape. From there if you remove the rams you need a resistor to turn off the airbag light (as Mark said, there are plug in kits and I might go that way because its reversible). And...per all the threads on here, even if you have the resistors to turn off the airbag light, the bonnet light will stay on as it writes to the airbag computer history - that is either replace the airbag controller, reprogam the EPROM (if I can work out how), or remove the globe from the dash. Having seen how sensitive this system is, if I had my time over I'd pre-emptively remove the rams, even on a road car, because this is all a very unnecessary pain in the arse. Reminds me, time to go and have a look at the Fuga too....
