Hey guys,

Its my birthday soon and my girlfriend has offered to replace my dying front speakers. I'm basically looking for high quality 6.5" speakers with seperate tweaters to put in the front of my Supra. I plan on sound deadening the two doors at the same time, but I'll be running the stock rears and no sub.

Any recommendations as to what I should look for? Going to do a bit of research tonight, but I need to decide tomorrow morning, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

No more than $1000 for the amp and splits, but I'd rather spend less if I can get away with it.

Either.

location ? are you installing or pro ?

I'll install it, just going in the front doors.

music you listen too most often ? how loud ? blasting or sane levels ?

Sane with the occasional blast, trance/dance mostly.

what year supra ?

1994.

Sorry, I quickly realised doing my own research all this matters too.

Cheers.

What ever you do don't go buying without first listening to these...

Soundstream RF-60C Reference 6.5" Component speaker

http://www.ryda.com.au/Soundstream-RF-60C-...nts-p/rf60c.htm

I have a set of these and a set of Focal 165K2Ps except I bought when they where first released and mind you ryda weren't selling em at the time for $1100

originally had focals in the front and when my stock rears went I thought I'd upgrade but the clarity of these were far more superior than the focals just so crisp clear and beautiful sound as well as a solid mid range bass handling I had to relocate the focal to the rear and put these up front.. And they are both running off the same 4 channel amp so power delivery is the same also crank full ball all day these all day with my twin 12" Fusion Jonah Lomus hooked to twin 1250wrms monoblocks to power them an it sounds pure porn... and they don't get drowned out they go all the way and you can hear the crispness even when you body is shaking from the bass nor do they get tired.

Anyways enough ranting good luck with the search...

Damn those are some serious speakers. 180 RMS? You'd need some a serious amp to power them.

Thanks though, I will look into them.

well your options would be huge in that price range, take a disk you listen to often and demo it in a few stores

but use similar power as you would in the car. and no sub

you need to seal off that door skin with dynomat or similar.

paint that MDF panel so it doesn't swell up if damp, 3 buck black paint is better then nothing

speakers like focal, audison, morel, rainbow etc. all need a decent seal, some even need a backing sealed chamber to keep from selfdestructing due to the magnet construction/venting. they sound great but lots more work to install properly

amps, well you can buy a decent mix for 200 bucks and up, don't overlook jaycar either. clearance items for 199 now

chris rodgers off here can hook you up with both items in a few brands I'm sure and you can trust his after sale support. he comes from the old school know how.

so best bet give him a bell and chat,then listen to his suggested models. if he can't help you then listen to a lot of speakers with your demo disk, not the stores SQ disk

pm me if you get stuck

Cheers

Troy

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
