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:

Yeah man ... the head unit has ample power to run em ... infact, I know someone with a set of type r's running off their deck too ... thes things are putting out 30-35WRMS of power eh ... not too shabby ... they need to have direct battery links on them to run ...

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.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
