ps.IF anyone at perth Give me some SweetDEAL!!

go to www.strathfield.com.au

you will be able to get a good package there

they used to have a sony XPLOD package for aroung $800-$900 which included:

- 6"

- 6x9s

- 800w sub

- 4x200 boss amp

- cd player

it was a pretty good deal but i dont think they have it anymore. try emailing them and see. every month or so they have new deals which a really cheap

Joe,

You say you have about $1,500 to spend right?

OK, we don't have to worry about a deck or changer as you have them already.

So I say get a set of splits for the front @ $300.00

A 4 channel amp @ $700.00

15" Sub in a box @ $500.00

Bridge two of the channels and run the sub in mono for more power.

I left the cheap rear 2 ways in mine and just faded them right out so that people in the back can hear some of the singing over the 2 x 12" in the boot...

If you went to different places and asked for the stuff above fully installed for $1,500 you would get someone who would do it..

I got my Deck ($1,000), subs and amp ($1,500) fully installed + a box for $2,500, (already had the splits and extra amp installed) In other words they didn't charge me for the box or install. Thats because I shopped around once I decided what to get and played the shops against each other....

DONT BUY SONY.

Front splits buy some Boston Pro 2-ways for $1k

Rear speakers leave the stock ones.

Spend the other $500 on an amp for the front speakers, and then get a subwoofer and another amp later on. Do it right the first time, dont waste your money on SONY SHIT.

boston pro's are very high end

high end splits = Boston Pro, MB Quart, Dynaudio System 260 and 360, Hertz Hi Energy etc..

I definatly rate Boston Pro's.... VERY VERY good split.... You can have them absoloutely screaming and they dont loose any quality what so ever...

i'm just having a look on the boston web site at all their product range. it seems quite impressive.

what splits should i get? they have the 5.5, 6.5, or the 6.5³. the 6.5³ i think will be a bit to $$$.

just to let you know what i plan to do (in case it helps)...i've got a head unit that i will use for the moment but will upgrade in a couple of months. i've only got the standard speakers at the moment. i don't want any subs for the moment however i will eventually. right now i just want to add some new front speakers and possible some rear ones after the front. what sort of amp should i get to run the fronts and also the rears when i get them?

thanks for the help guys.

Jackal...

I had Boston's Flagship 6.5³'s in my old car, and I can vouch that they are absolutely magnificent speakers (as you you imagine) :P

They retail for $1600 and I'm asking $800 for them.

The only problem is that one speaker mounting hole is broken on a 4" Mid-range..

Merli. :uh-huh:

Boston 6.5s are 2-Way Splits (6.5" Mid-Bass, 1" Tweeter)

Boston 6.5³s are 3-Way Splits (6.5" Mid-Bass, 4" Mid-Range, 1" Tweeter)

The 6.5³s sound much more natural with the extra Mid-Range frequencies... They are really worlds apart, you can't compare them....

Mine are about 1.5 years old... But haven't been used for the last 6 months and have recently (1 month ago) been removed from the car.

I suppose I can take pics if you *REALLY* wanted them, but they look exactly like the ones off the website.

Merli. :uh-huh:

No, they were installed in a Proton :P

As you may have guessed, the 6.5" Mid-bass was mounted in the door, and the 4" Mid-range and 1" Tweeter were mounted on a custom fibreglass kickpanel.

Merli. :uh-huh:

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
