OK thanks man. So if I follow predators schematic and fit a set of 6.5's will the door skin fit back over without much hassle? That's my main concern. Want the krankin stereo without too much hassle.

Would any of you guys suggest just getting the 4x6's for the front or should I look at the 6.5 splits??

I am after a pretty decent sound without having to amp the speakers. I have a 4x50W head unit with 200W Kicker amp driving a sub. Any suggetions?

Thanks man...

I am a definate newbie to this.... what is the difference between a standard set of speakers and the ones with the splits... the dude at JB HIFI said that they were made for running straight off the head unit...

So should i get the splits for my front speakers and not the back... or back and not front.... or both...???

Going to buy my speakers tomorrow so am keen to get some understanding before getting the sales pitch runaround...

splits fr the front and coax (2way) for the rear. use the same brand and look closely at the efficiency of them (measured it dB/m) higher is better.

when y ou do the fronts make the panel to suit the original and sound deaden the doors.

doing both of those will get the most from your new purchase :laugh:

how do you sound deaden the doors...?

ok... i understand the difference between split speakers and normal 2 ways now....

so does everyone agree to go splits in the front...??? do they perform a hell of a lot better...??

dont listen to the nazi's if you get good 4x6's they will sound great i had 4x6's which could handle more power then what most wally's 6.5's could so just look around and dont rush your speaker choice:) also remember its all about installation, install your system properly and set your crossover's and frequencies right

a set of these would be ideal, these are what i had

earthquake f4x6

Model: F4x6

300 Watts Max

FR: 75 Hz-22kHz

2 way fiber impregnated polymica cone, super wide edge rubber surround

Sensitivity 89dB

0.75" swivel dome tweeter, neodymium magnet

Polyswitch tweeter protection

Don't kind yourself mate. That would never out perform a 6.5" split. Even Alpines bottom of the range Type S splits will out perform that in the specs, but they will sound 100 times better. Max Power doesnt mean shit, so never look at it.

The type S has a freq response of 35hz to 30KHz and a sensitivity of 90Db/W/m and thats their bottom of the range.

If you take this same question to CAA you will get laughed off the forum my friend just like someone with a riced up Excel would get laughed of SAu for saying they would thrash a turbo skyline.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
