Hi all,

Just got my tax return from the tax man and i have approx 3k for setting up a sd system. Problem is when it comes to sound, i have no idea at all.

Basically my type of music is vocal trance, r&b and occasionally some jazz. I'm more into sound quality and not the heavy bass type. Just want a good system during weekend cruises or to / fro to work.

Car's a R34 SII with stock speakers and even the stock head unit from Japan.

Have been quoted the following by Westside Audio Morley with the first option gearing more to bass and the second option is more to quality sd. Guy said he'll be running my rear speakers via my deck and said although my sub will be underpowered it doesn't really matter as i'm not a bass junky who will me maxing the sub all the time given my music preference. Also, have noticed the audio shops have been quoting the Alpine PDX for the audio setup saying it's small size, handles well in terms of constant power etc. Is it just a marketing hype ?

Any thoughts people?

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
