hello guys/girls

recently ive got some splits for the front of my car. now im considering to get either rear speakers - 6" or go with getting another pair of splits. My question is weather this is

a/ worth it considering that i wont be sitting in the back

b/ go ahead as for the price of 6" depending on its brand can get you some resonable splits - again depending on its brand

Taking into consideration that in the near future im getting a sub also - anyone in adelaide selling one that is boxed, 11" >. so if i do get splits [highly likely] would this distort the sound that a sub produces considering the splits midrange is pretty bassy itself or would the splits in the rear would require no sub at all.

oh btw im still getting high pitched noises from my front splits even when all my wires are insulted/twisted and cables earthed. can someone help explain this reason.

thanx.

the speakers that i got are perfectly clear ... admitly my installation skills are pretty bad so the install is pretty shocking hehee but it works ... anyways check that ur gain is set to the lowest setting on the splits ... i'm also currentl lookin at 6" speakers for the back ... so yeah we should go shopping sometime :D

front splits are clear is only when the engine is running that you can slightly hear the squeeling. anyways, speaker shopping sounds like a good idea. group discount consisting of two people [u and me]. haha.

lowest setting on splits - i cant adjust my spilts, well i dont think so anyways unless you mean by adjusting gain through the amplifier. I need more bass! =(

hey I'm interested too .... just have been sitting back watching .... I have DLS 6" splits in the front of my line with Alpine 10" sub with box in the rear - all driven by a 400Wrms Boss amp hidden under the drivers seat. Of course have the JVC MP3 deck running the show.

I'd recommend not to bother with rears, but just put in a sub like I did - save your rears money toward a good amp - it will pay off big time in the end. I have always until now had rears but don't miss them at all now!

btw if you're gonna go to Strathies go see Paul at Blair Athol, tell him you're a mate of Andrew Nuskes (if he doesn't recognise my last name say Derek Ahearns cousin) and he'll look after you.

i think back ones u dont' really need realy good ones ... just something a little better than the stock ones which are old and have been ruined by long life ... and andrew(nightcrawler) is right!!! a good amp makes a hell of a difference ... which is why i'm saving for an eclipse amp ... my shitty pioneer one doesn't even make close to the power that the 15" sub needs LOL

Can only agree with what others here have said, you listen to your front stage, spend the money there.

Hippy - 15" my you have a big one :P

Mel, where is the store you work at? do they often get good deals? I am after an 8-10" sub (not as greedy as hippy) and an amp to drive it

Also, is it worth going second hand, always seems to be heaps of guys selling the stuff on this forum?

well yeah i've been told by others that 15" is pretty big .. but hey u either got them or u don't :P ... but yeah i bought some focals at the front ... which sound quite good now :) ... if i remember correctly u had mb quart ... which i didn't get a chance to listen to last time ... i'm still sourcing a head unit from america .. can't decide whether to go with a nice looking jvc or a just as good alpine but dont look as good as jvc ... but yeah never buy pioneer car audio unless its the head unit ... they are just shite ..

nah 10" still pumps hard, i am gonna get 10s in my skyline.

I actually prefer the sound of tight 10"s, there better if you listen to dance music and stuff with a quick beat.

I work between alternate stores, Tea tree gully and wayville

Yes they are MB Quart - good memory. Tough to know what to buy isnt it? Soooo many choices, and can only get one :P tho I reckon best bet is put most of the money into the amp and speakers :) Always seems the best time to buy though is when they do an end of model run out.

So Mel, whats up with moving you around like that - do we just have to ring up on the day to see where your at? Oh and is there discounts available for SAU members:D

Well it really depends on what you want, if things are already heavily discounted then obviously I can go down heaps more, but other things i might be able to knock $100 off so you really need to come see me so we can work out what you want then what i can do for you :P I am at the Tea tree gully store tomorrow, probably at wayville store the week after.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
