AV kunce... bought new 5.1 speaker setup.. thinking it would be a direct swap for my existing yamaha speakers... the new ones being a better model have 'bi connection' available as opposed to the old set with just the standard one pair of terminals per front speaker...

apparenty 'bi connection 'decreases modulation distortion caused by electric resistance of the cables and driving current of the speakers. Consequently, purer sound quality can be achieved'

That'll get done on my holidays...

Now the new sub...the old sub was just a direct plug in to both the sub and the amp... new sub has terminals for speaker wire connection or plug in inputs... 1 using a mono pin cable, not included of course, which connects to the 'subwoofer low pass' terminal on the amp... or using an 'audio pin cable', also not supplied, which is a 2 plug setup which goes to the 'split subwoofer' inputs on the amp....

Which of these options would give the best results?

I'm looking at you Odium.

  • Like 1

bi-amped means to split the signal and run two seperate outputs to the speakers

you need an amp that supports channel a and channel b - or dual amp

my setup is like

you basically run two pairs of speaker wires to each speaker

does the amp have speaker A and Speaker B ?

given that it's a 5.1 its unlikey

does the amp have subout ?

bi-amp is better but if your amp doesnt support it, life goes on. just bridge the terminals so that the single speaker wire goes to both terminals if that makes sense

ie dont cross the wires, but merge them

The instructions that came with the speakers actually say you can put the 2 pairs of cables into the same terminals on the amp if only one pair of front speaker terminals is available..

yeah you can split the wires, use a bridge tool and run completely seperate - from two seperate outputs

so on my stereo amp

i have channel A and channel B on the amp

Channel A goes to speakers on input #1 on the speakers

channel b goes to speakers on input #2 on the speakers

then on the amp when Channel A and B are turned on you hear normal music

if you only turn on channel a - you only hear trebble, if you only turn on B you only hear bass

Why would you ever want only treble or bass?

From what these instructions say, its not about doing that at all, just about increasing the sound quality... They're connected as normal for now, if I cbf I'll do the bi connection using the single front speaker terminal pairs, but I doubt I'll be able to hear any difference anyway.

As for the sub, the speaker wire option with my amp only having the 1 set of front speaker terminals, I'll go with the AV cable connection instead.

What you're referring to is Bi-Wiring, not Bi-Amping... very different concepts... and neither will increase your chances of a threesome with two bi girls, trust me, I know... The Onkyo Sales Rep lied to me.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bi-wiring .... "Buy-Wiring", ha.

Your success will only determine the type of car that I buy you, not whether I buy you a car or not...I trust you'll look after it as if you had saved for it yourself

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
