Ive got alpine splits type R in the front of my skyline.. My system is set up so over 30 on the volume and the speakers distort..

I want to push this higher and wondering how to do this?

My amp is a 350 Vseries Alpine and whole car is installed with 6.5 (type S rears) 6.5" (type R fronts)

Is there anything I can do to push it higher? ive not even looked at the amp yet but when it was installed they said run it in and come back for a re-tune, The top guy left that day so I said yeah no worries and didnt go back because the aprentice would do it .. which I wouldnt be pleased with from his "accidents" ive heard about.

So do you think turning up my amp slightly will improve sound or just make it distort earlier in the volume control?

From what I read if I need it to go louder I need a bigger amp and speakers which can handle it .. any ideas people?

If you turn your amps 'gain' up, yes, you will reach distortion earlier (below 30 on your headunit).

Does it get distortion on the low notes? Then you could try to bump up your high pass to filter out some of the lowlows. Ultimate solution, get a sub to play the lows and keep your others for the mid-bass and higher freq's.

Ohh, and have you checked its not your doors that are rattling making the speakers sound like junk? Something to think about.

what he said, knock out 100 and less and it should handle a lot better... have a sub do up to the 120's, that will take a lot of load off the speakers, reduce heat and give a clearer sharper note... having the 20 hertz crossing over will fill in whatever gap you may have...

this is assuming you have the ability to do that, and have a single (decent) 12 inch sub...

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
