I put in jvc/mp3 unit in my r31 over the weekend. Looks really pweety, but of course its already scrambling my ancient stock front speakers with any form of bass, treble... or actually anything :Oops: . Yes, they are that bad! I pulled them out and they are rated at a whopping 30watt. And i assume that is peak too. Could explain it :)

Whats a good 2 or 3 way 6.5" speaker around the $120 mark these days? Any recommendations?

I have an 2x75wRMS amp which has been sitting there for months - will probably use this, so they can't be too underpowered.

If i go further with the system in this car one day, i'll probably chuck them in the rear, and get some better splits for the front.

Gordon,

For that kind of money your not going to find something top of the range which im sure you already know:P

But who cares when its just your run about hehe :)

Quick question first though, did you wire the speakers up yourself..? Because in stock form they use a common ground, Im hoping you didnt wire them up that way because they can damage the headunit.

Are you doing all 4 speakers, or just rears or fronts..? Either way, Id recommend putting 3-ways in the front doors (or splits), and just some 2-ways in the back (or of after some kind of bass, 6 x 9's or even just a small sub, 10 inch so to speak).

Most of those speakers you supplied links to would probably do the job, I havent personally heard any of them, unsure on the JVC and Panasonic speakers. Usually Kenwood seem to make a reasonble quality speaker, usually not too bad bass to mid-range, but top end lacks a little. Thats only IMO though, which doesnt count for much lol. If you can, go somewhere where you can have a listen to all types and pick one that suits your preferences.

You could try some Jaycar splits, titanium series I think arent too bad for the dollars. Not 100% but go and have a listen, and even have a look through the R31 forums, as I think quite a few threads have come up on this type of topic.

Good luck, and give my brother a whack over the head next time you see him for me :)

Blaupunkt GTX662.

plenty on bass and they have treble.

$120 a pair.

( I sell them)

or the component set GT217x. these are $160 pr and they are awesome!

with 25wrms they have lots of bass and a similar amount of treble. have a pair in my van currently. they sound like subs!

Damn.. oh well.. they would have been around my price point too.

In the end I went for the Kenwood KFC-M1620's. 3 ways, at 30wRMS - http://www.kenwood.com.au/car3.asp?gid=1&c...&cid=43&pid=348.

RRP is $125, and on special at $88 through Brisbane Car Sound. The 3 ways seemed to give a fair bit better sound than just the 2 ways i looked at (cheaper pioneers, other kenwoods, etc). Fairly good bass, but the separation isn't great. Will do fine for rear speakers later on if i get better ones for the front.

Do the trick, but you are right, not brilliant, nor as good as decent splits. But they sound good enough for my needs at the moment, as i basically had nothing (factory.. circa 1986 speakers...blerk).

Also low mount depth so no spacers were required, which saved me $20 or so for spacers (yes this is a very budget system at the moment!)

Hi mate,

i know u have already chosen your speaker, but i have a pair of Blaupunkt 6.5" speakers...they are 3 way, GT317s... they are an awesome and expensive quality speaker. Retail for over 300!! i got them for my sis, but she didnt want em and they wont fit my 33 skyline so they are sitting, never used.

will sell for 200....these are BRAND NEW SPEAKERS!

oh well.

"you shnooze u lose"

Haro

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
