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)

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
