Hi guys , picked up a Pioneer TS-w302R sub with the following specs.

Subwoofer Specifications

Subwoofer Size 12"

Voice Coil(s) Single

Impedance (per voice coil) 4 ohms

Peak Power Handling 800 watts

RMS Power Handling 150 watts

Woofer Composition Injection Molded Polypropylene (IMPP)

Woofer Surround Urethane

Sensitivity 97 dB

Frequency Response 20 - 90 Hz

Xmax (millimeters) 8.8 mm

Top Mount Depth 5-3/4"

Shallow Mount Installation No

What amplifier would you guys recommend to use with this sub? Or what kind of specs would the amplifier I choose need to have so I can choose my own?

Ps: I know its not an amazing sub but already have been given this so Im not purchasing another one.

Am I looking for a amplifier able to power 150rms at 4ohm?

Im assuming this wouldnt be able to power it?

What gauge wiring kit would I need? Wiring kits to buy, stay away from?

Not looking to spend more then $150 on Amp and wiring kit if I dont have to

Thanks for putting up with my noobishness

Cheers

Depends on the box and your goals

Box for that a 28 litre - 35 litre sealed box , lightly stuffed on back wall with poly fill from spotlight ( glue it on the back walls only !! , pillow stuffing )

Did one in a r31 and it sounded ok for the cost

Had a boss 800watt max running it bridged on 2 channels of 4 whole setup was less then 200 for parts and equipment

Sub should face the back if possible

No closer then 400mm from back of car

sub wires , 12ga is fine

Amp needs to be 300-600rms clean power if sealed box is used

Mono if you desire just sub powered

2,4,5 or 6 channel can be used once again your too vague

amp wires

RCA cables of decent quality

trigger wire 14-16ga if you drive more items you need a relay and maybe diode

amp power try to stay away from CCA wire ( copper clad alloy) but 8-4ga with fuse at battery

Ground close to amp on bolt no paint watch fuel tank and brakes etc

Sony isn't my first choice or even top ten at your price point

Don't buy off fleabay , you will regret it I. Most cases

go to store and listen and price some up

Clarion , kenwood, pioneer , option audio, lower end Rockford , Orion cobalt , soundstream

Boss , us audio and about 100 more brands lol

Cheers , understand theres much more out there at higher price points then mine

would like to stay away from boss as ive nly heard bad things....

whats wrong with eBay? Seems much cheaper then anywhere else. Mostly fakes?

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
