have a grand to spend on a system for a r33 (2 door). i listen to mainly rnb/hiphop and house, so bass is important and so to vocals.

dont know much about sound systems, you guys point me in the right direction?

the car has come with a sony xplode head unit and sony xplode 6x9s or some other size speakers not to sure, in the back, but i have heard that sony car system stuff is terrible, and should get rid of it if i am planning to get a decent system.

bass is very important, so i need 2 subs ! 12" i guess? do i need 2 subs for more bass? will 2 fit in a boot of an r33? but remember i also want good sound quality

what do you guys say i should get? whats the go?

which headunit, amp, sub/s, splits/tweeters, 6x9s? do i need 6x9s (somone said it mixes with the subs so it sounds crapper, dunno though)

thanks for all the help guys, really appreciate it.

if u just like bass then stick with the speakers u already have, filter out all the bass from them if ur headunit can do it

get a nice monoblock amp and a couple of subs n u'll do fine

i might be selling 2 brand new pioneer 400w rms dual voice coil subs if ur interested

If you go for entry level components, you should be able to get a system for a grand.

Headunit, $300 - simple pioneer maybe, one preout for amp

Amplifier, $300 - something with a bit of grunt for bass

12" Sub + enclosure, $200

Front speakers $100

Rear 6x9's $100

Won't be the best system, but if $1k is your budget, ya cant go overboard.

i live in Melbourne

melbourne? I got a full alpine system (cept for the head unit, which is a sony unit) for around a grand (or maybe just a bit more). 4 speakers, 2 tweeters, 2 crossovers, 1 amp and 1 sub. PM SXR (ray from re customs) - they are authorised alpine dealers.

So there's ya proof you can get a system for approx $1000. Don't let a salesman tell you to go away and come back with 3-4 thousand!

Not sure what stores you have over there, but over here i keep an eye on Tonkins catalogues, Strathfield, etc - and with christmas sales coming up, you should be able to get a good deal on your package.

it depends on where you go to get your stuff. plus i kept my headunit that came with the car, cos it was running well. And I also got a good deal on the products - without the deal I would be looking at around 1.5 - 2k i think - plus there are other brands (other than alpine) which are more expensive..... so what Chris said was right - there are some brands where you can expect to pay 3-4k for the best of the range.....and this might include labour as well.

p.s - alpine have the top of the range audio equipment too - that can go to about 3k all up....

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
