Hey mate,

Have a look at these two, might be the products you are looking for.

Product 1

Product 2

The first one would be nice, the second one better as it is higher powered and will give you more output.

Either way the both come with, sub, amp, box and cables.

Has anybody had any problems with depth when putting splits into the front doors..

i was told that alpine wont fit.. due to the fact that i want my window to come all the way down without hittin back of speakers..

And i dont want to have to put in massive spacers that make my inner pannel part to stick out..

What brands would fit?? (depth wise)

Hey guys

Just wondering what the pick is out of JBL and mtx or are they much the same.

I didn't want to splash out and go the real high end gear but want to spend a bit more than say your pioneer or kenwoods.

I'm talking speakers subs and amps..

Lastly, what do you guys think of installs at places like wow, strathfield of JB?

your in brissy I see. leave those alone. JB is contracted and its a mixed bag (most have 17y/o with little idea.) wow depends on the shop. SCR - forget it.

fire me a PM if you want a decent job done. (click sig)

Hey all. Im after a nice and simple decent system. Im only going to go for speakers and no sub woofer. Im basically after decent all round quality. Im thinking of the Pioneer Pro series 6" splits component speakers for the front and then a half decent 6" rear speaker and sound deaden the front doors and get a decent amplifier. Would this be alright???

ive dealt wid JB near TTP in adel, couldnt be happier wid them very helpful. great prices and great gear to! i bought all Kicker stuff

Hi there, first time post as I just joined (buying jakegts's R33 on the weekend) and I'm looking for a headdeck to suit.

After a single DIN, but the problem I'm having selecting one is choosing one that can run two amps (one for splits front and rear, and one for sub) but also has RCA inputs, that can be selected as a source.

The main reason is that I'm looking at something like this for the second DIN slot, as my iPod is absolutely chockers of music. I currently have an FM transmitter for my work car, but quite frankly, this just doesn't cut it.

Anyone know of any headdecks that can do this that are quite nice? I'm more an Xplod person myself, however I'm willing to switch camps (no double entendre intended) if the right headunit is found.

Thanks for all help in advance!

Im researching some splits for car and also headunit. I would like to stick to clarion as i can get discounts through them.

SRS1752HX

http://clarion.com/au/en/products/2006/aud...9306870302.html

SRS1686

http://clarion.com/au/en/products/2006/aud...9306870100.html

Should i spend the extra for the HX model or will the 1686 be plenty?

Also,

Is there a clarion headunit with 4channel output + subwoofer output? Cant seem to find one with sub out..

Cheers

Discounts thru Clarion, hmm that sounds nice. I didnt know they dealt with the public direct.

I dont think they do, i'll be getting them through a friend.

How about this clarion headunit? Its the only one i can find with 3 pre-outs in their range

DX766MP

http://clarion.com/au/en/products/2006/aud...9306869871.html

Or would a pioneer/alpine unit be better for the same amount of money?

Cheers

I am keen for some decent advice on the speakers. I have all of the other components for the system and now I need to match some decent speakers so I can get it all installed in one go.

Here is what I have so far:

- Kicker KX200.2 Amp (for the sub)

- Kenwood 200W RMS 12" sub

- JVC KW-AVX700 head unit (http://www.jvc-australia.com/JVC/client/c_...&prodID=173)

As far as speakers go the guys on the forum have convinced me to go with 6.5" for the front and back.

I don't really want to spend more than $200 on a set of front splits and the backs don't need to be anything too flash right? The speakers will be running off the head unit so I need to find speakers that are going to match the HU right?

My original plan was to go with a set of Alpine SPE-17CS ($138) 35W RMS splits for the front and a cheaper set of Alpines for the back. I am not too sure of the output quality of the HU (20W RMS?? is what I was told) and have been told that the above Alpines will certainly match it well. This is my main concern as I don't want to waste money on better speakers unless the HU is gunna have the power to drive them.

Anyway guys, give me your advice on the above. Would you go with the Alpines? What others would you suggest? Don't want to spend more than $300 all up for front and backs.

Brands and model numbers would also be a big help as there are so many different types out there.

Thanks guys...

Hello,

Currently in the process of choosing an amplifies and due to time constraints have to make a choice now or i lose a chance of a good deal.

The subwoofer amps im deciding between are:

- US AUDIO USA554-220Z - 4 x 50w & 1 x 220w RMS + sub w/ box

- Clarion APX1300 - 1 x 300w RMS @ 4ohm

- Jaycar Response AA-0424 - 500w RMS x 1 @ 4ohm

the US Audio amp+sub package is 2nd hand and selling for the same price as brand new clarion/jaycar amp.

Im leaning towards the US Audio amp w/ sub due to its low price but im not sure if i will be wasting money.

Any help will be great :D

Thanks

- Patrick

    • The larger TB I had on the SS was a pain to get to idle right, but, that was cable In the end they just raised the idle up a couple of hundred RPM so it was happy idling away either in gear or in park (slush box life) I'm curious on how my NC will idle with the new intake, larger TB, and cams that are currently going in/on, but I have faith that MX5 Mania will sort this "electronical" "black magic" out the best they can in the tune with a electronic TB Sometimes I wish I knew more about the intricacies of tuning, but most of the time I don't because I know it would hurt my brain 🤣
    • That's the thing. Cam is smaller than before.. though the old cam was +6 degrees advanced. We're talking huge changes here, the narrowbands want to trim out 20% of fuel and pull the (wideband) idle to like 16.0 AFR or such. One side is a little more trimmy than the other. Think along the lines of ~20% to ~15-18%. Unfortunately my scouring of the internet hasn't really found anyone with this issue. People either just disable NB's or have them wildly different, where one is -20% and the other is +20 or 0 (i.e a sensor is just dead/wiring is just busted). Turning them off and relying on the base map only results in the wideband reporting at about 14.0 with the Varex closed. It'd be a little leaner (closer to 14.7ish) with the Varex open. I know I can just change the switch points so that the narrowbands agree with the wideband, but it's still odd. Both of them are reading voltage, it's just that they're reading quite high mv, in the ~800 region. It's just odd. This was with the IAT fudged to report it was about ~22 degrees which is my guesstimation of the temperature in the room. I have an OEM sensor ready to try tonight, which is slow and crap - but .. worked last time I used it. Sadly I am aware that idle tuning with the big TB is going to be a PITA and I look 'forward' to many hours spent stalling or stumbling idle or delving into drivability things.
    • The GTR strut brace clears the new manifold.. by about 0.5mm. So this means I need to buy an OEM GTT Strut brace (again), which will clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. I guess I can sell the GTR Strut brace with the bonnet with the vents as a package deal as someone will need this one day. So my choices are vented bonnet but no strut brace, or GTR Bonnet with OEM brace (which I have to buy) but is bright red instead of the same colour as the rest of the car, which means the entire front end of the car will just be red until it goes back to paint jail. In other news the engine starts and doesn't leak. Why both O2 narrowband sensors think the tune is rich AF I do not know. The idle is also pretty shitty and my expensive IAT sensor from the USA is dead. The car sounds awful. But I assume or at least hope this is due to the many exhaust leaks, and the concrete garage it is in, sitting there with 0 intake bolted to it, and no bonnet or panels or anything to stop the induction/intake sound which is about 200db.
