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:

    • Hey y'all! I'm curious about how y'all go about widebodying your cars. I noticed that when running a square setup, my front wheels are a bit more tucked in than my rear wheels. Not by much, maybe 5-10mm. This leads me to wonder - when I widebody, should I use narrower front flares and wider rear flares? I found a set of 40mm rear flares that I really like, and was thinking of pairing them with some 18mm front flares, but I don't want the car to look strange. How have others done this? Note, I'm in a sedan. Thanks!
    • And if it was anything other than an auto tranny part, it might be a problem. But seeing as all auto trannies belong in the recycling bin, it's fine.
    • I have an R32 Fenix rad. It is good.
    • All the schemas I can see, indicate your typical setup of ATF 'cooler' (read: heat exchanger) in the bottom radiator tank..ie; https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/5413-rb25det/engine/214/ ...but I can prattle on a bit here. These trannies have a thermistor in the sump ~ the TCU reads this and 1. bumps the line pressure up when the ATF is 'cold' and 2. prevents the TC lockup clutch from operating, until the ATF comes up to minimum operating temp (keeps the ATF 'churning' through the TC so it heats up quicker) -- trigger point is around 55C. In these conditions, the engine coolant temperature rises faster than the ATF temperature, and also helps heat the ATF up, which is why it's best to think of the in radiator tank setup as a heat exchanger ; the heat can flow in both directions... ...with these trannies, the 'hot' ATF comes out the front banjo bolt, flows through the cooler/heat exchanger, and returns to the box  via the rear banjo bolt. This gets a mention, due to the wildly different opinions wrt running auto trans fluid coolers ~ do you bypass the in radiator tank altogether, or put the cooler inline with the in radiator tank system...and then, do you put the additional cooler before of after the in radiator tank system?... ....fact is the nominal engine operating temp (roughly 75C), happens to be the ideal temperature for the ATF used in these trannies as well (no surprises there), so for the in radiator tank system to actually 'cool' the ATF, the ATF temp has to be hotter than that...lets say 100C -- you've got 25C of 'excess' heat, (slowly) pumping into the 75C coolant. This part of the equation changes drastically, when you've got 100C ATF flowing through an air cooled radiator ; you can move a lot more excess heat, faster ~ it is possible to cool the ATF 'too much' as it were...(climate matters a lot)... ...in an 'ideal' setup, what you're really trying to control here, is flash heating of the ATF, primarily produced by the TC interface. In a perfect world, wrt auto trans oil cooling, you want a dedicated trans cooler with builtin thermostatic valving - they exist. These should be run inline and before the in radiator tank system ~ when 'cold' the valving bypasses the fin stack, allowing the ATF to flow direct to the in radiator tank heat exchanger, so it works 'as intended' with helping heat the ATF up. When 'hot' (iirc it was 50C threshold), the valving shuts forcing the ATF through the cooler fin stack, and onto the in radiator tank heat exchanger...and you sort of think of it as a 'thermal conditioner' of sorts...ie; if you did cool your ATF down to 65C, the coolant will add a little heat, otherwise it works as intended... ...the 'hot' ATF coming from the front bango bolt, is instantiated from the TC when in use, so all/any flash heated oil, flows to the fluid-to-air cooler first, and because of the greater heat differential, you can get rid of this heat fast. Just how big (BTU/h) this cooler needs to be to effectively dissipate this TC flash heat, is the charm...too many variables to discuss here, but I just wanted to point out the nitty-gritty of automatic trans fluid coolers ~ they're a different beastie to what most ppl think of when considering an 'oil cooler'... /3.5cents   
    • Been a busy but productive day. Axle and hubs acquired. All fitted up after a bit of modifying. Need to sort out wider mudguards and running light reflector covers but other than that the trailer is gooood to go !!
