hey guys...

i have a Alpine Deck that has 35x4 built in amp..kinda schitt but nevertheless...

yearning for better sound sometime back, i removed the stupid crossovers in the front and the old spkrs and etc...and now i have wired the deck straight to the speakers...i have JBL 3way 125w speakers.

in the rear was running the std clarion that came with the skyline till today...

when i removed it, i realized that they didnt have the normal small head big head kinda thing...instead they were like a switch or plug or something..

so i unplugged it...chopped off the plug...

and got the big/small heads frm my new speakers, rolled em up together and soldered it down.. just wondering tho, is there any difference between wrongly soldering?

meaning....

negative terminal frm the deck now goes into the positive in the deck..meaning ive soldered the wrong head to the wrong cable?

possible?

what effects does it have? how will i know thats the problem?

now the sound at the back ,treble and all sounds fine(they are 2 way 150w pioneer's).

bass is totally small and tinny and crap..

smoethin should be wrong cause i had these pioneers in the front before i bought thr JBL's and they were great.

and now the back sounds real soft and the front louder..and sounds frm the front sound kinda messed up too...

i didnt know which wire to use and etc cause the colors were odd...

the left speaker in the rear, there is one LIME GREEN WIRE. PURELY LIME GREEN. - i connected this to the small head.

then a YELLOW WIRE with a black stripe.

i connected this to the BIG head.

on the RIGHT SIDE, i have a PURE ORANGE wire. i connected this to the big head.

and a ORANGE with a black stripe...connected this to the small head.

any problem here? is there anything wrong that could be messing up the sound ALL over?

One of the wires could be the wrong way around making that speaker out of phase. When one speaker is out of phase they cancel each other out so you get no bass.

I looked at the wiring in my R32 and the colours don't match yours but it seems they always use solid coloured wire for the (+) big terminal and striped wire for the (-) small terminal so try swapping the wires to your left speaker because as it is now the striped wire is connected to the (+) terminal.

booster: the right side, i have the SOLID ONE with the BIG head and Striped with the small head...altho it sounds bad. no bass

the left one i have it the other way round but it sounds kinda fine but is there any reason why my front might be louder than the rears?

cheers guys

ps: how much does it normally cost to wire in an amp and get these speakers looked at?

craved/booster...thanks a bunch guys!!

they sound fine now after havin swtiched the wires like booster said...

i just played with the fader/balance to hear which speaker was makin lousy sound and i just butchered and resoldered the wire

on that one..i mean switched the heads...

had no intention of removing the seat and etc etc all over again and getting cuts all over esp at 10 at night so i did it thru the battery compartment in the boot and ended up spending 1 hr sittin in the boot crouched over like a duck but nevertheless, when i was done, i spent another 15 mins inside listneing to music cause it just sounded SO much better now...

thanks a whole bunch guys

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.

      2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.

      I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.
