I couldnt find it posted anywhere else, so I'll ask - whats the rating on the stock amp? Is it powering all 4 speakers or just the back 2? I have hooked up all my speakers using the stock cables without bypassing the amp and it does sound good but a little tinny - could this be because the amp is rated lower than my new deck?

Thanks

The stock amps are all varied. Some are Alpine but most are Clarion. They are around 25 - 30W X4 i believe (although that would vary too) they aren't that flash and your new HU would have a higher output (generally 50WX4) which is around 23wrms, so run new wires from ya HU to ya speakers and it will sound 100% better. You wont get bass at all out of your speakers as the stock amps dont have any filters and a vairable gain at all. SO its again all got to come from your deck.

Hope this helps :headspin:

thanks heaps =) I can just bypass the amp right? dont wanna bother with new wires...

Yeah you can bypass it and use the existing speaker cable that you have wit ya new amp, just make sure that you have segragation so you dont get any noise through your speakers. You can yank the old one out if necessary as its just an anker weight anyway, about all its good for :wassup:

Anyone got pictures or locations of the stock amp?

Also not sure if its answered but.. The amp powers the front speakers ? rear speakers? or both?

Wanna install a amp/sub unit myself but slowly as I want to learn about it.

The stock amp is underneath the rear parcell shelf in the boot. Open the boot up and stick ya head in there and thats where it would be if ya got one.

As for speakers it depends again on the vehicle in question really like the amp. It maybe driving just front or rear or both.

Installing a new amp/sub is pretty easy, just time takes time, common sence and some patience really. Give us the heads up on what you want to do and im sure that you will get plent of help for what you want to do :P

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
