  1. 6x9 waste any brand = no exceptioms But get what you like , JL sound decent for the cash
  2. Buy new speakers for 300 , used can be dangerous unless you know the history , I wouldnt gamble on used Take your fav music on a cd and listen to a bunch from different dealers with similar power as you have now , remember mp3 itunes music isnt a worthy test in most cases its really compressed and muffled or overprocessed Not sure where your located to recommend anyone ? and dont overlook jaycar vifa models , I'll send you xover specs if you go that route and feel able to mount correctly , a little fabrication can reap killer sound ( note jaycar sound deadener falls off in the heat so dont use that on upright surfaces ) Domt overlook kenwood exelon , pioneer has some great sound quality speakers now, JL , Hertz, Mb Quart really so many to choose just have a listen and haggle !!
  3. Type R is overrated as well , many choices besides focal and alpine , lots of cheaper speakers sound better depending on your needs Unless your brand loyal i would look and listen to a bunch before buying For 300 used you can buy some kick ass new speakers and crossover parts and still have a bit for dynamat or pay for good install Speakers dont clip , amp and pre amp signals do? Speakers can crackle, rattle, scrape, distort from over driven coils puling the cone out too far Type R suffer cone dragging problems the coils drag enough to sound like hell , sometimes its crust /rust / magnetic dust or underpowered distortion slowly burning the coils , the magnet gap feels crusty if you push it in slow and smoothe But the amp or deck power is your clip problem or broken rca issues ,a failing amp , voltage dropping to low or your hearing is getting flogged and that is the speaker you can hear still
  4. Hey ive seen 2000 watts on 6x 9 flea market spec lol You can get some beast 6x9 like a digital design type The 6x9 shape is setup to fail from the start , distortion from the cone shape comes on early it pulls on the surround uneven ( it was designed for lowest cost option to fit a rear deck shape back a long time ago not because they sound good !!! ) A lot of car companies made wonky sizes over the years only now are they asking the car audio companies how to do it , shame the audio decks are heading down a bad path again !! with sizing and intergrated a/c etc
  5. Yes To your wallet Not much in sound Money would be better spent on sounddeadener or ? Focal mids run 2 ohms which forces amps to run more power and get hotter , and tweeters run 8 ohms which lowers power of the amp ( crossovers can bring the ohm load back if you run passive) Overrated brand for the cost IMO so much so they have a new series with highly reduced cost coming out Upgrade for type R cost half as much and sounds 4 times better but requires pro install and fabrication
  6. Its a pair of 4 ways not 8 ways 6x9 suck And pyle speakers are one step above mexican flea market models on the lower models just buy some local the cheapness with added shipping and voided warranty will bite you in the ass 4 ways dont sound nice they shreik off the glass on rear decks and hiss in doors from the cheap supertweeters Keep looking mate you will be much happier
  7. Pm sent
  8. Drift said bride seat rails fit with only drilling required on the tabs , i'll let you know mine should be in two weeks or less Funny enough i found a drift seat ad that says they come with rails no expiry date from last year same time i bought my seats !! But they said no rails I looked at doing mine but the factory rails are flimsy at best so you have to beef them up then run some flatstock or square tube and use grade 8 bolts to fasten , not a huge job but welding the factory metal even with lots of experience will be a pain and fiddly and most likely not able to be engineered to ADR in the end anyhow ? bride rails go 30-35mm lower on 34's so my head wont hit the roof so often on the lovely roads in adelaide
  9. Back up for sale no time wasters ffs Its cheap as hell !! shipped or pick up deep sourh adelaide only , photos don't properly but can email you some if interested in anything Cheers

  14. For 2000 extra you would think the vasolene would be included when they reem you !! i know the states are scoring gtrs etc galore a loop hole exists , but still rare and parts rare to fix em , its good we can hoard them here lol Hondas rule the states in a big way , when i started installing i had at least 1 car a day from honda , fastest car ever to install in honda crx Deck, 4 speakers, basic alarm, antenna , amp in about hour they just came apart so easy and fit back together again lol you get real good at it Worse car ferrari or 72 pantera gt or old jags rolls royce sucked too Best of luck mate tell her to buy a 2013 bluebird/ altima instead , v8 supercars platform
  15. Doesnt get freezing damn iphones , oh and phone signal sucks and cost a mint compared to overseas plans
  16. Scandy drives a tractor and all tractors are noisy haha You can drive loud cars all day in town try that in a small town you will stand out but hey gp your fine lol the police will know you so your good just a note german cars and parts are super expensive and parts hard to find , i know some people who collect 911,944 etc and one who works for bmw as a mechanic and both fly back to england for parts runs and they save money on parts even with shipping !!!! plus can find the rare stuff You will miss english racetracks , not so easy to access here , the car culture isnt the same here Its big but you wont see Norks hanging out everywhere just by asking for a view lol in case you dont know victor is a busy place on weekends , holidays, hot days people flock cause its normally cooler by 10c on a 40c day but does get freezing like england burrrr lol surfing is good , fishing, whales, penguins, fresh air, no real traffic except holidays, close enough to adelaide , kangaroo island not far, some nice houses for semi decent prices for adelaide area ( cheap compared to england!) minimal crime for the most part and scandy is far enough away so you dont have to look at his 200sx haha :-)
  17. Oh and when i looked at tidia you couldnt get power windows , none in SA ? someone i know wanted me to check one out for them , but that was first year model
  18. Sell the car lol Cant believe australia has wind up windows in car ffs still blows me away how backwards some things are? Check the usa version think its a "nissan versa" but confirm And wiring diagrams before buying, they would have a lot more in junkyards and most if not all would have the parts Since usa car come standard with powerwindows Shipping is about 100 bucks roughly to ship priority Aftermarket kits look crap unless you find power window door panels or redo them ( I looked at that car and laughed , its cant compete with the level of options compared to anything in the class ) but anyway another option
  19. Victor is beautiful and not far from me , it has a lot of police patrols between adelaide and victor because of major crashes , so best to avoid the gauntlet during blitz weekends and holidays Victor is mostly older people ( lots retired) but still decent and shoot down the coast to robe or wellington pub on the river hope your commute isnt from victor to adelaide daily ?? Im sure you wont miss england once you ease into it , im a fresh aussie , from usa and yeah its a step backwards and sideways compared to the world when it comes to cars overall drive like a dick and you wont last long emissions mods and your in for it , dont go loud in victor it will stand out bad and being small your local police will have it in for you make sure you come with license so you dont have to do the driving portion of the test , save ya time and hassle , you can drive on valid overseas licence for a while before getting one here ot get international one get ready for price shock compared to usa or uk parts are available but compared to overseas they cost more you could do a personal import but a wild car wont fly thru import ( see iron chef imports for that option) since cars are cheap in uk im sure you will love it , welcome Look us up when your settled in lots of us live 25 min from you in aldinga beach Troy
