Hi,

I have decided to get a sound system for my r34, and am in need of a few questions to be answered.

I have decided to get a full alpine setup:

INA-W900E (Headunit)

SPX-17 PRO (Front speakers)

SPR-17C (Rear speakers)

PDX-1.1000 (Amp for sub)

PDX-4.150 (Amp for speakers)

The first question is will the front speakers fit into the door without mods, and will the rears fit without mods?

The second is, will having rear speakers have much difference with this setup, or should I just stay with the stock ones?

The third question is should I get one sub or two?

And finally, when I have the aforementioned sub, will I need the two amps mentioned or just run everything on the 4 channel amp?

Thanks guys,

Jacob

having better that stock speakers in the back will deffinately enhance your sound quality.. run all your in car speakers of the 4 channel amp.. you will need a seperate amp for sub(s) as the 4 channel amp wont have the required LPF and you will destroy them.. also one amp will do fine for 2 subs but your best bet is just buy one decent sub an still have boot space.. i made 142Db with one 12' sub and a 800wrms amp.. not running at max levels either

this is something to consider to save some dosh, alpines offer on type x

alpine au

and yes if installed by a pro it will fit, they need mdf mounts to be solid in the doors

a little dynamat type soundeadner would be advised at least in the doors

ditch the stock speakers in all cases

run the 4 channel to the 4 inside

mono block to subs

enjoy

Hi Jacob,

I used to work in the Car Audio Industry, try Ang's Audio Shop in Klemzig http://www.angs.com.au/ . He is an Alpine dealer and will be able to help you out. You should be able to find all of those products in your vehicle. Its also best to get custom MDF baffle made for the speakers in the front rather than the standard plastic ones as you have much clearing mid base as well as improved sealing the speaker enclosure (inner door).

    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat 
    • I saw your intro update, are you sure you've actually had a starter motor failure? You mention it could be the alarm causing it. I'm assuming you've got a no start issue, but what are the exact symptoms, as there could be a few reasons it has stopped wanting to start.
