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

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.

      @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.

      Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.

      One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
