Which 6.5" Splits to buy?

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.

      New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

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

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.
