137.7dB, last time it was tested. Cost me a sub, though... Running two 800W monoblocks per sub now. The subs (306Cs) are good for 400W RMS, and the monoblocks are about 250W RMS each, so i have them set at about half gain, sounds nice cos they arent pushing any limits, but can really crank at the local car show.

Looking at either getting another pair of 306s, (to run a full set of four subs, four monoblocks) or just replace the two 306s with a pair of tsw-3000SPL (pioneer 3000W) subs, and do the box and install properly.

Did both of these installs myself

Stagea -

Hertz HSK165 Splits up front

Hertz HCX165 2-ways in the rear

Audison SRx4 Channel amplifier

Audison connexion wire kit

Some JVC headunit

Camry

Hertz HSK165 Splits up front

Hertz HCX690 3 way 6x9's in the rear

Audison SRx5 amplifier

Audison connexion wire kit

MOMO Polk 12" sub in a custom engineered box

Some good Kenwood head unit with USB input etc etc

Both those systems are KICK ASS, specially the Camry system. BUT, thats being sold to a mate and the cars going to someone else.

I dont want any more in the Stag, cant sacrifice the practicality of a wagon/folding rear cargo area.

Hey guys,

I'm going to embark on installing my stereo. I have my gear sorted. Just wanting to know where you guys mounted your amps? I want to keep my boot space (hence why I'm not installing any subs) but i just don't know where to mount the amp

Any ideas??

Mine is mounted under passengers seat, using the unused "power/heater" seat power harness. Plenty of clearance their for an amp.

I've seen under my seat...it's got good clearance. I've got the power/heater seat power harness and its currently in use (i have the leather powered and heated seat option in mine) - I was thinking about installing the amp under the seat just afraid that rear passengers are going to kick the amp.

Also I'm going to utilize all the stock mounting holes. do I need to modify the A-pillar tweeters to install new ones??

just pulled out my tweeters in the front yesturday and theres not much room there for mounting aftermarket ones in. thogh i am going to cut a hole in the mesh clip in cover and glue it to that will look good when finished

mount them on the kick panel. plenty of room down there. virtually equal distance to your ears. plenty of high end installs use this location. stick them on with bluetack until you find the sweet spot aiming them in various directions.

How do you get the A pillar cover off to get to the tweeters?

Im afraid of breaking the plastic..

that little plastic cover just clips on there just lever it off comes off with ease. but to get the old tweeter out it's probly easyer to take of the whole a/b piller cover. takes probly 10mins per side.

if you have any more interior questions just ask as up until yesturday i had my entire interior out of the car. takes 4hrs to pull it all out and 2 days to put it back in :laughing-smiley-014:

Hey all,

I tried to install the tweeters from my slpits in the standard tweeter pillar location and the only way I could get them to fit was to basically have the magnet of the tweeter attach itself to the boddy of the car. The magnet was more than strong enough to support itself. It JUST fit with the standard perforated cover back on.

Is this going to effect the sound quality of the tweeter? or over time destroy the tweeter?

I took it out just in case I would be damaging my speakers.

Thanks

Dave

I put a bit of Blue-Tac behind mine, which is also a good insulator against the tweeter reverberating against the A-pillar.

Blue-Tac is often recommended as a good insulator when you put a few blobs under each corner of your home stereo's bookshelf speakers too.

what brand tweeters are you using? I have Pioneer ones, and I didn't put them in any case, just left them 'naked' and used the mounts for the old tweeters. there was plenty of room for them to move around, and I didn't have to remove the A-Pillar cover either.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
