2nd hand response 2x150 amp - $200

jvc basic mp3 player headunit - $300 (2nd hand or new i dunno...get one with sub out)

2nd hand DVC 2+2 ohm sub - $200 (ie. alpine type R, etc.)

that way u run ur response amp at 2ohms each channel.

build a box urself, + wiring nearly $100

get yourself a coustic, cadence or similar amp. just a little 2 channel unit will be fine. i've found the jaycar ones to be pretty average... spend $300ish. a head unit is up to you. you don't need anything flash. jvc is my pick at the cash. $2-300. and i reckon a jl 10/12W0 sub for that money.... $200ish.

go out and have a listen to everything out there and make up your own mind though... oh and you'll need to budget in for some decent cables etc etc.

Thanks guys, I went into JB today on my lunch break and asked the sales rep. what he could do for me (head unit, amp and sub in box) he was going to flog me a nice Sony head unit (mp3) - 2 channel 2x150 300w amp (Candence) - JBL 12" in box. Was only a saving of $80 off sticker price so I told him I would think about it. I was looking at the head unit cos it was $439 and price marked down to $219.

In the R32 I've been told that getting some 6 x 9's is a waste of time and money... true?

Hope to do the install B4 the GP show n' shine in next 2 weeks, probably get everything from JB in the end.

nothing wrong with 6x9's in theory. they still outsell every other speaker on the market. they just sound like ass!

i've not liked any sony headers since their cdx-c90 and mobile es/xes stuff. entry level, i'd have a jvc personally.

cadence amp will be just fine. perhaps budget for a 4channel amp so you can run your fronts and sub off it. will make your system sound much nicer.

and i'd still have a jl 10/12W0.

theres plenty wrong in 6x9's in theory.

its an oval speaker for one, doesnt excrusion is uneven.

all it is is a generic speaker trying to play all the frequencies in one. if u can afford more than 1 set of speaker, then dont go for 6x9s..

thats the reason they sell well.

Installed the gear today...drama central.

Bought Sony head unit, Pioneer 12 SUB, second hand 4 x 150w AMP and wire kit. Too late to go into it all but lets just say the head unit is running the 4 x 6" and I have no SUB or AMP at the moment... suspect dodggy second hand AMP. Farken took me 8 hours to get the wiring done so it was all neat under the carpet ans shit. Pissed off!

Yeah, I got good power and earth. Nothing through the 4 channels or could be nothing from the RCA's. First attempt at power up I got a puff of smoke but then all seems to runnig fine? Taking back the AMP on Monday to see if I can get it swapped (got it a cash converters)

smoke can't be good!  

you did have the remote wire powered up right?

Remote was powered but the amp also has a ACC/12v - thought since remote is in it would not require the constant - I have now hijacked the remote connection and split it to both ebvenly???? I should have paid some guy $150.00 it's really got me upset - high expectations

Returned the AMP today and they had another of the same model, we teasted both and sure enough the other worked great and managed to get a straight swap even though the swap was void since installation was not done by licenced tech.

Get home after work and prepared for new install and everything is sweet, so I crank it up and nothing... lower and sound comes back??? So, now I have the amp running mono and the 4 x speakers all running off the head unit. Sound is good to great.... room for improvement. I will take some snaps and show what the final product looks like... not much room in the boot of a R32 nor much room for amp to live so I have now have just enough room for the golf clubs and thats about it

    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
