i've had a head unit installed so far.

Alpine ida - X305

i've got an Alpine 10" type R sub in a box that my mate is gonna give to me.

wondering what amps to get..

i was hoping to install the amps in the side compartments in the back where the factory CD stacker goes (i didnt get one tho :) )

or in one of the lift up compartments in the back. i dont want to be mounting anywhere custom as i cringe about someone hacking at my interior.

the easier, the better

so far i was thinking of getting an Alpine MRP-F300 for the speakers (not changing them as of just yet)

and an Alpine MRP-M500 for the sub :P

will give me a bit of extra bass thats tight cos thats all i'm looking for at the moment.

i'll be having the sub set up against the back seats i think.

any ideas from anyone ? :)

do i need to go that far with 2 amps? or is there an easier option for some extra bass.

i might have a go at installing it myself..... although i'm sure i may need some help :)

better change the speakers, especialy if you have the factory ones, they wont handle the extra power of a power amp.

any help you need just ask mate, im in preston and work in port melb, just let me know :P

thanks man :P i'm only going to be running the factory speakers until i can afford some alpines or something.

so u say for the moment just get the mono amp and run the sub? and get the other amp when i get the new speakers?

Why not get a 5channel? Jaycar sell digital 5 channel amps that will run your whole system and can easily fit under either of the front seats (Good for keeping thieves away)

I have one of their digital 4 channels under my seat running my front MB Quart 6.5in splits and my cadence sub and it does a mighty fine job

thats a great idea too, means 1 amp and everythings done... less wiring to worry about, no power distros and the like.

My set up in the stag is rather big, 2x Alpine MRD-M300 mono amps running the 2 Type S 12" subs, 1 x Alpine MRV-F540 4 Ch running the front splits (Active, 75W into each woofer and tweeter) :P:ermm:.. Fronts are Focal polyglass 165's

upgrades are a few more amps, 1 for the 8" Mids that are going in the doors and 2 for the 5" Subs that will be going in the front foot wells ;):(

sounds like a good idea.. i'm having a look at the new range.. the Alpine PDX-5 is a 5 channel but the output for the sub is only 2 ohms?? huh? i thought 4 ohms was standard for car audio?

the Alpine MRV-F450 V12 also sounds like a good option. its 5 channel 4ohm.

its discontinued but i may be able to pick one up second hand!.. i presume though that the newer amps would be "better" though in most aspects??

i also had an opinion to just get a 4 channel amp. bridge 2 for the sub output and go for high quality splits in the front. since my rear door ones are probably no point having since i barely have rear passengers!

home audio is so much easier :)

amp: Yamaha receiver.

fronts: Aaron Ats-4

Centre: Aaron CC-120

rears: Aaron Ats-3

samsung series 6.. 46" HD LCD TV

seeeeeeeee :P

i'll prob pop into Stylyn on a weekend when i get some free time see what they think :spam:

subs are either Alpine subs now are either Dual 4 ohm or Dual 2 ohm, the dual 2's are good if you have got the amps to run an either 2 or 1 ohm loads, the dual 4's are nicer for normal guys that arent into SPL. i think ill be running 4x dual 2ohm. in a series parallel system... big bass :P

also try Garry's car radio Heidleberg, and GL Pro sound in essendon for price comparrasons.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
