Hey guys, No longer have a skyline but know these boards are excellent for getting accurate non BS responses.

I currently own a 2005 Holden Rodeo LT, I have the following system in the car:

Pioneer DVD head unit - flip out

1 x 600W 4-channel pioneer amp - new type

1 x 1200W Pioneer monoblock amp for the sub - new type

1 x Pair of Pioneer Splits TS-D1720C's

1 x Kicker 12" Sub

I want to know if i can run another set of TS-D1720C's off of the Pioneer 600W four channel amp without affecting the sound quality, volume and clarity?

I love the setup I have but there is no point having spent all the money I have to be running distorted crappy stock speakers in the rear doors.

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

And I also would like some advice on running a fold down screen for the rear seats as I have a daughter that gets very unhappy on long trips as she cant see the front screen.

How are these mounted to the roof?

do you need to explain something better or am i missing something ?

what concerns you about running 4 speakers off a 4 channel amp ?

have seen the screens that strap back to the head rest . think they pretty cheap

my concerns are will the 600W amp be enough to successfully power the 4 component speakers?

Powering the speakers is one thing making them sound good is another? Does the amp have enough power to power the 2 sets of splits well?

If thats 600w RMS (4 x 150w) then you won't have a problem. It's unlikely you will ever use it to it's fullest potential so you will have plenty of power on tap.

If it were me I'd disconnect the rears and bridge the amp to run the fronts. Alternatevely you could keep it 4Ch and run the front active (without crossovers) if the head unit has the capabilities

BWAHAHAAH! the day that pioneer made an amp that made anywhere near that power i'd be seriously surprised.

1. yes, you can run another set of those speakers in the rear

2. you wouldnt however, as it's a waste of money to put splits in the rear

3. go and buy a set of TSA1683S, perfect for your rear doors.

a roof mount screen is fits to the metal light bracket behind the roof lining. it goes in place of the light.

best roof mount on the market is the Alpine PKG-RSE2. $1399 RRP, comes with remote, 3x IR Headphones, 3 Year Warranty (when professionally fitted). Easily the best picture quality out there, and plays most pirate formats.

So its 300watt RMS then, bridged 2 x 150watt using the passive crossovers will be plenty of power. Forget the rears, your daughter would be better running headphones off a dedicated rear screen, then you can still listen to music in the front.

well said, its a good system for what i want. Does the job well. Have just noticed when sitting in the back all you can hear is bass. Not exactly comfortable for anyone but i suppose some cheaper speakers would do the job. Cheers guys.

more then enough power , you can run 8 splits or a few subs too, depends on your OHM Loads and freq it happens at.

but thats more then you asked

in case you didnt know most amps are true ratings these days if there any good

http://www.ce.org/Standards/3108.asp

The amplifier power for mobile electronics logo indicates that a car amplifier has been tested to CEA-2006-A, Testing & Measurement Methods for Mobile Audio Amplifiers. The standard requires that the manufacturers report at least three ratings: primary power output in watts, total harmonic distortion plus noise and signal to noise ratio.

    • 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.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
