hey

i have a clarion apa2061 amplifier 60 watt 2/1 channel. I need to get a rough idea how to wire it up to my r33. I have a panasonic 200 watt mp3 head unit that i wired in with 2 6 inch 240 watt speakers. I have never dealed with an amp before so i need a full heads up. is there a place where i can get the manual for it off the internet since i bought it 2nd hand? is there a way to test that it acually works? what is the term bridgeable? mi amp has a bridge. what is the term channel?

any help would be much apreciated

It's not hard if you know what your doing, but it sounds like you don't really understand it at all - so if i were you i'd take it somewhere and get it installed, save yourself the time and $ (after you stuff it up, it will probably cost you more to get it fixed/installed).

OR get a friend who does know to help you?

Basically you need to run RCA cables from your headunit to the amp, you need to give the amp 12v power, ground and a remote trigger from the headunit to turn it on and off, and then you need to run the speaker cables from the amp to the speakers, and then tune it... There is a bit more to it than that, little things, not hard if you know how.

in the 33's its a bit easier, pretty much as above...

You have your power and earth in the boot, make sure you earth it to a factory bolt and not the battery.

Run your speaker cables to the rear of the car with your RCA's and along with your trigger wire

Run all your rca's just incase you want to run subs n stuff in the future so you don't have to pull everything appart again.

If you get a amp wiring kit, 8 guage is plenty for what your running and will have everything in there except speaker wires.

you also need to take our your back seats to run the cables... bit of mucking around if your up to it, but there are generic amp wiring diagrams which all work the same anyways.

for bridging the channels etc. you don't need that for your 6"'s

Basically you need to connect wires into every terminal on the amplifier or it wont work; except the high/low level input, that is not necessary.

Power from bat, through fuse to positive. ground to boot, remote to head unit. RCA from head unit to L and R on amp. And speakers to you speakers...wouldn't worry about the bridge unless u are dealing with subs.

You'll find that if you can bridge you can put the + of one channel to the - of a bridged channel.

My amp has 4 Channels and 2 subs, one sub is bridged on 1 and 3 (Left) and the other 2 and 4 (Right)

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
