Currently I have some 2way 6" front and rear with 12" sub.

The rear left doesnt seem to work (I think it's due to a wiring problem somewhere)

Anyways was contemplating removing the rear speakers or not even connecting them.

What's everyone else think?

Also think I might change the fronts to splits, the Jaycar ones coz I hardly get any treble facing towards me. Thoughts?

Currently using Jaycar 4x100W AMP, a SONY Sub w/ box (which I got for $50 ~2yrs ago from a dude who used it only at his house)

Good idea.

Rears don't really do much apart from providing 'fill' for passengers in the back seat.

If you're looking for a fairly low-budget upgrade for the front, the Jaycar Precision Response splits are v.good value for money @ $149 RRP (link).

If you are looking for product suggestions though Victor, use the 'what to buy' thread above. Cheers! :D

I would rather go a sub in boot + amped splits up front over 6x9s in the car. Some ppl will want 6x9s. Personal preference really.

In my old GTST, the rears were ripped out at compliance. Fronts were amped. In my GTR, the rears are in, run off the deck and the fronts amped. Honestly I can't notice the difference having the rear speakers in. Then again, I don't have any back seat passengers in the car.

Unplug your rear speakers, and drive around for a week. See if there's a noticeable difference. I reckon there won't be much.

there would be a big difference. i guess how notable this is depends on what speakers you have. ive got 6" 'something' speakers upfront and 6x9 infinitys in rear with 12" pheonix gold sub. fronts and 6x9's running off my pioneer 6850 deck which you can adjust almost everything i guess! just do this instead (it'll be easier) on your headunit, not sure if it was fade or balance, but turn the thing all the way to FRONT ONLY. is there a sound difference? now turn it back to zero or watever it was on before. you should notice a difference, but HOW different all depends on the quality of speakers.

Yo Vic,

I dont mind my rear speakers, ive got 6x9s in there just coz i got them for free as you know... i find that even though your ears face forward and what not, the rear speakers kinda "Fill" the car with sound.....

Next time im over have a listen, i think anything in the back is better than nothing, just to create some noise from that general direction...

i reckon, get some component speakers for the front, 2-way won't really cut it :S

get rid of the rears, put the 2 channels of the amp into the fronts, then bridge the other channel into the sub :P put grilles over the speaker holes left by the gap of the rear speakers and let the bass from the sub flow through :)

      I drive the Tiguan much harder than the Skyline in all conditions, because it just grips and hooks, unlike the R33 shit box

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
