well at the moment i have full dodge setup probably cause i drive a laser..... i am buying a 32 in 2 months...

i have a oldschool alpine cassette head unit so i have hooked my mp3 player into it....

i have a set of sony 3 way 4 inch speaker

i have taken my home stereo speakers to put in the back and i have 2 alpine type R 10's running off a crossfire amp

  • 2 months later...

Atm...

Aiwa MP3/WMA headunit

Nakamichi 12" sub rated at 456 RMS

Rockford Fosgate amp dedicated to sub rated at 429 RMS

Alpine 120RMS 6.5" Splits and JVC 6.5" coax's

Alpine amp under seat for front splits and rear fill JVC's.

Also have waiting to go in...

custom made dash based on an R32 GTSt dash (bit of fibreglass work and stuff)

14" Benq screen, 10 degree viewing angle, 4 sources including DVi.

Xbox, modded with 120gb HDD

Polk Audio Dolby/DTS 5.1 decoder for car audio

HKS Camp ECU Visualisation

Hopefully once the car's mechanicals are finished setting up then I can go about setting up the in car surround sound system for use with the Xbox.

Hey all,

At the moment my specs are these:

Headunit - Panasonic double din with moving facia - cd md and casette

Front speakers - Pioneer 6.5 inch splits

Rear spreakers - Pioneer 6 inch 3 way speakers

Subs - 2 x 10 inch lanzars powered by 2 x 1000 watt Saint USA amplifiers.

DVD - Panasonic single DVD player with dash mounted screen.

Previously

Head Unit: Pioneer DEH-P6050

Front: Alpine 6.5" splits, passive crossovers

Rear: Factory upgrade carbon fibre-look Bose dual cones

Sub: Fusion fpw-1500 DVC 15" sub, custom 85L box, twin 4"x23" ports

Amps: US Audio 4x50W running front splits, Rockford Fosgate 250m² running sub

Power: US Audio amp ran 8 guage wire for both earth and power, and a 40 amp fuse. Going to the Rockford I had 4 guage wire to a 1 farad capacitor, then to a distribution block, which split into 2x 8 guage power wires (dual monoblock amp=two power sources). 2x 8 guage earth wires to the cap, then 4 guage to a rather large earthed bolt. NFI how the stock alternator survived.

Was pretty loud, farkin bassy, and sounded pretty good for a system that cost me under $2k all up, but it wasn't doing clips/screws/interior trim much good, and I had no usable boot space - large power wires and an amp that ran very hot meant that I didn't like piling stuff up on either side of the box. It ended up stretching the shit out of my boot lock so I pulled the sub and Rockford amp out.

Now

Head unit: Pioneer DEH-P6050. Volume buttons worn through

Front: Alpine 6.5" splits. Both have blown voice coils

Rear: Bose rear fill. Fine!

Amp: US Audio 4x50W, still running the fronts

Sub: None, but I have my boot back!

the word that best describes my system is "secondhand" - all of my parts have been bought secondhand. Not quite complete as I'm yet to purchase an amp (Audison SRx3). But so far it consists of:

Source: Sony CDX-M630 (meh)

Splits: Focal Utopia 165W2

Sub: JL Audio 10W3D2

The stuff that's currently installed is Alpine DDDrive 2-ways front and rear, old Alpine tape unit with AInet 6 CD stacker.

What kind of audio systems are you guys driving around with?

STANDARD!! :)

if anyone here wants to unload their old 'double din head unit, ie...single slot cd/radio /tape deck' ........(if it looks nice and works), please pm 'SUPERSPIT'

I will pay a reasonable price!!

Ta, Mark. :)

Last week I installed:

Panasonic CQ-C9800U CD player with 4 x 60w digital amp

Focal 136v polyglass splits (135mm)

Decware DBII 'Deathbox' bandpass woofer box

Sony 10" dual vc ex-plod woofer (used, sounds fine for $100)

The Panny uses Tripath digital chips, and puts out a real 60w rms / channel. The sub box is about 450 x 325 x 325 so it's not small for a single 10, but it does sound good. The box is adjustable (to suit different woofers & cars) so maybe I can build a smaller one that goes in the battery compartment. This system isn't loud; I'm used to 2 x 12's in a 120 l sealed box & 3 big amps. That stuff added a LOT of weight to the ol' VL... I'm not doing that again.

Alpine 7878

JL Audio 500

JL Audio 300/2

JL Audio 300/2

JL Audio 300/2

Nakamichi 300 watt amp

2 12" Boston Acoustics Comp

2 sets 6 1/2" Boston Acoustic Pro Series Components

1 set 6 1/2" Oz Audio Components

1 set 4 1/2" Boston Acoustic Pro Series Components

It sounds pretty good.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
