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 :)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.

      Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things

      My new to me M35 Stagea wagon

      By davemoto63 · Posted

      Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
