Hey guys, i got a pioneer 12" 305c dvc sub, and was wondering the best sort of amp to buy for it, and how it should be wired up, its dual coil @ 4ohm...... I also have some infinity splits that are 90w rms each that need to be amped aswell, as my headunit cant handle them (they are infinity reference series), ill leave my headunit running the rear fill speakers though.

Theres a 4 channel jvc amp im looking at buying, its rated at 100w rms per channel please check the link:)

the Alpine MRV-F545 or MRV-F345 is a great amp in that it's not symetrical like most amps. it's a 4-channel amp, but the front 2 channels go to your front speakers (giving a good 100wrms each.. but check the different models) and the rear 2 channels can bridge to create 500wrms for your sub (or thereabouts.. check the model).

best to go to ask in a quality audio shop about it. the bes tthing is it's not too big, powers what you want it to power and is Alpine quality.. the top model retails @ $799 but Alpine is so popular that the price is marked up heaps. You can walk away with it for i'd say $650 if you bargain.. maybe! at least $700 if you just buy the one amp.

Hope it helps

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
