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.

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
