Hello,

I'm interested in getting some 2 way splits for the front. 6.5" is probably the right size for me. Will be running from a Pioneer GMX414 amp (4x60) with some Phillips 6.5" splits at the back for rear fill.

If the front ones don't get enough kick to them that way I will run the rear ones from the headunit and bridge the amp for 2x140 to the front.

At the moment I have a 10" noname sub and a generic amp but will be replacing probably with a decent 12" and decent amp. (If that's enough for a r32 4 door.. i think it should be).

Anyways - I need to know which splits I'm going to audition before going to the shop cos I need to make sure they have them on a soundstage.

I have basically been thinking of looking at these splits and would like to know your experiences with them, and if you have any other comparable ones that may be worth looking at also.

Currently I'm looking at

MB Quartz DSE216 .. i think they're 6.5"

and Boston Acoustics RC620 6.5"

Then I need to find myself some pods or think of a way to mount them nice in the doors with deadener etc but I will cross that bridge when I come to it.

Please let me know what you think guys, or if you have other comparable ones I can look at..

ta!

Thanks for the advice - will add them to my list :)

hehe I've heard focals are excellent - if i was getting into that sorta SQ I'd be spending $2-3k for the rest of the setup minimum?

Whilst i'd *may* be able to afford the splits I wouldn't have the amp and subs and sub amp to run the rest to make it worthwhile (in my mind anyways).

Already bought a pioneer 7650 (that sounds about right).

Slowly building her up :P

CKill -

Well I priced those and you're right. If I bought them I couldn't buy my subs hehe :)

They must sound great.

The Hertz ones are underpriced aren't they? I mean they're underpriced compared to the other two... They'd be comaprable to the lower range boston rc60's aren't they?

Also how do the Focal Polyglass v2 series 6.5" components go ?

Thanks for the reply guys.

Bogan which Alpines are they? It's really had to tell from the Alpine webpage which is suited to what. The Alpine SPR-176A and Alpine SPX-177R are the two from alpine I would be looking at so far.

I usually listen to hip hop, trance, breaks. I like heart thumping bass but I will also take SQ over SPL if it's a choice. I just like to have my heart revived by the stereo if I can't find those little electrical plate things :rofl:

I've always thought if I had the money I'd like to have the (unattainable) goal of creating the club experience in a car.

Fhrx - I've been admiring your work recently and I'm wondering if I could get a roundabout price for some work I'd like to do?

I usually install my own systems cos I prefer to save money but if possible I'd like to get some stuff done professionally and if it makes a saving of money I'd like to do some of the work myself. Would you consider listening to my plan and advising for the parts for the bits I could do myself so they "fit" with the bits I'd like done by yourself? (as well as sourcing some things for me) - If it's an all or nothing thing that's fine also :rofl:

ok, this goes for all audio related questions...LISTEN TO THE SPEAKERS! if it sounds good to you, then it is good, your gunna be listening to it, so get what you think is good...people have diff oppinions on all speakers, best to make up your own mind and have what you like mate...

i didnt mean for that sound like a rant or anything, but this is the best way to get what you want...

i just got 4" fusion splits for my car (free :)) and they go pretty hard aye!

Thanks for the advice! I dig man - I indend of shortlisting a few speakers so I can audition them then make up my mind.

I asked cos I wanted to know if there were any particular quality issues, value on prices etc all those sorts of decision making input you don't get if you just walk into strathos and ask them for a fully sick xplod speaker :P

On the other it's exactly right.. my ears, my cars, my money and therefor I'm not going to buy speakers PURELY on someone's recommendation.

Go any recommendations on stores that carry all quality speakers mentioned in this post?

I will prolly be looking this weekend.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
