Hey Guys I am looking at fitting my front splits but was wanting to know where you mounted the crossovers for them?

I am thinking that I will need access to them to fine tune them so was wondering what are the rules to mounting them? they will be going from a 4 channel amp in the boot so should i look at mounting them in the boot or do they have to be up closer to the speakers?

Depends on the size of the unit I guess.

Mine are behind the door panel sitting on top of the stock speaker mount with some double sided tape, once you've set them you can forget about em so a hard to access spot won't matter too much.

Only disadvantage putting them in the boot is you will require 2 lengths of wire to reach the speakers instead of just 1 length to reach the crossover.

It depends on what you have spent IMO. If they're $1000 focal splits, i'd mount the crossover as close to the amplifier as possible, and run the two separate leads to the speaker. if not, bung them in the kick panel for ease of access, just dont mount them behind the door skin, they'll get full of water and it will ruin them.

I reckon the boot is a great idea, mainly because that's how mine are mounted :)

might be okay, I've got a silvia not a skyline so im not familliar with the inside of the door trim. however, it'd make it a prick to adjust the crossover once mounted so you'd have to take the whole trim off to adust it.. or if you leave the trims off while you're tuning i guess... sorry, just not my personal preference to mount them behind the door trim.

If they are cross overs worthy of showing off, then show them off in the boot or similar! Apart from cable cost, it will take bugger all extra effort to run two runs of cable per speaker. But so long as they stay dry, anywhere will work - inside door card, kick panels (if they fit) boot etc.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
