wats up SAU?

I am recently a new R33 owner and looking to put in some wicked audio, because it still has the factory audio deck and speakers in the car. Not great quality.

Any ideas of what people have implemented themselves or recommend?

In my first car, i was bangin (im not gonna bother putting in the spec numbers) pioneer head unit, front splits, rounds at the back. Was wicked audio but didnt get alot of power cause was runnin through the head unit.

Am looking for pioneer head unit (mates car has a pioneer one that flips out with the dvd screen- pretty pimped but fair pricey), speakers wise is up for recommendation. pioneer, kenwoods, focals? And a sub and an amp system that will run well with the power i will need, but wont break the budget. I dont mind spending more on speakers, but am just looking to get away with the basic amp and sub wise.

I listen to alot of metal/hardcore/gangster rap etc. So I need something that can take and make sound good with very low bass and heavy shit, but also rock treble frequencies that are clear enough over the low bass so they aint drowned out.

Any help or any ideas other people have down would be appreciated. If anyone entering into autosalon and has wicked shit done id be looking to check out ur car

thanks

bryan

Hey Ben

Thats wicked man, I will come in for a chat some time. My previous installations were done by Tonkins and they were great.

What street is it on again and are you working 2nite?

Hi,hope this helps,i used to run a 1000watt amp(cheap brand bout $240) 7x10 kenwoods

4" fronts kenwood and a kenwood head unit. head unit ran fronts and amp was for the rears

had plenty of bass for rza etc and good with trebble for stuff like soulfly/machinehead.

Each to their own.This worked well for my style of music.

thats a good set up man. I know mates who rate kenwoods when listening to heavy music. wat was the cost of ur system?

I bought it from strathfield car radios back in like 2002 rough prices were Head unit = $350

kenwood 7x10's = $140-$180 (blue cone) and blue cone 4" kenwood fronts about $40

amp was from the bloke who i payed to install it for me was a Magnavox 1000watt. was $249

so all up $819 + install 6yrs ago.

Don't diss that paricular amp either just cause its a cheapO brand. The thing stood up very well

and when compared to a mates who spent big dollers.It has all the same Linear + mosfet crap inside.

(im not real tecnical aye)

Tonkins is at 204-206 Gouger Street mate, were open 8:30-5:30 monday to friday and 9 til 1 on saturdays.

ah mon to fri my work times, would have rock sat sum time. not this sat tho. Will ask for ben whenever i come in but

Get an Alpine Type-R sub and Alpine MRP-M500 Amp. Cost you around... $500 all up and comes in a nice ported box. I bought one recently and it's nuts. Really good sound quality, and can rattle the cars sitting at the lights around you, if that's your thing.

Tough as too. I'd rather invest more in the sub and amp that will last and just get decent splits and head unit. Simply because you can drag a good sub around with you from car to car. Speakers just get annoying.

Another option is to buy the second hand Type-X sub and amp from the guy selling them in the private parts forum. If I hadn't already bought mine I'd snap them up, they're near unbreakable, so you don't have to worry about them not being new. I'd love to hear a pair of those puppies at full tilt, each being 1000RMS.

Check that out for a sub.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
