After having the r33 for almost 6 months now, I think its time to get a better sound system. I already have a fairly good Sony head unit (CD and MD) that came with the car, but now need to change the speakers

I was thinking of going with Alpine speakers, 8 or 10 inch sub and an amp. Would these connect to the sony head unit? Im pretty sure they would - but just need to make sure. The other thing is, some of the Alpine speakers come with 2 tweeters and these 2 other things that I have no idea what they are (attached pic).

I dont want a huge expensive system, just one that gives good bass. I have decided to go with alpine as I was talking to Ray @ RE Customs and he said they can do a good deal on the items.

The ones that I was gonna go for are:

Alpine SPS 171A (or if i have to change the head unit as well, then CDA-9856i & Type-S Component Package)

SPS-17C2 (rear)

MRP-M450 Amp & SWS1242 Sub

What do you all think? The price comes around $900

thanks all :P

one of the nicest SQ systems I have heard was in my old Nissan GTI-R.

I had:

top of the line sony head unti (with 3, 4 volt pre-outs)

Alpine 2 ch (bridged to 1ch) amp powering a 12 inch high end rockford fostage sub in custome box (in hatch area)

Clarion 2 ch amp powering 6.5inch high end Boston Accoustics splits. With driver in the door (nice and low) and tweeters mounted at base of A pillar.

Sounded awesome, and got plenty loud too. Of course used high qual wiring which helps. be sure to bin all the wires you get with your speakers, and buy some good stuff.

    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
    • Please noooooooo 😭 As for wrap, no thank you mate, I've seen and used "carbon fibre" wrap before, and for these hard tops, they look soooo good when colour matched Like this >>>
