  • 2 months later...

Hopefully once the car's mechanicals are finished setting up then I can go about setting up the in car surround sound system for use with the Xbox.

Hey all,

At the moment my specs are these:

Headunit - Panasonic double din with moving facia - cd md and casette

Front speakers - Pioneer 6.5 inch splits

Rear spreakers - Pioneer 6 inch 3 way speakers

Subs - 2 x 10 inch lanzars powered by 2 x 1000 watt Saint USA amplifiers.

DVD - Panasonic single DVD player with dash mounted screen.

Previously

Head Unit: Pioneer DEH-P6050

Front: Alpine 6.5" splits, passive crossovers

Rear: Factory upgrade carbon fibre-look Bose dual cones

Sub: Fusion fpw-1500 DVC 15" sub, custom 85L box, twin 4"x23" ports

Amps: US Audio 4x50W running front splits, Rockford Fosgate 250m² running sub

Power: US Audio amp ran 8 guage wire for both earth and power, and a 40 amp fuse. Going to the Rockford I had 4 guage wire to a 1 farad capacitor, then to a distribution block, which split into 2x 8 guage power wires (dual monoblock amp=two power sources). 2x 8 guage earth wires to the cap, then 4 guage to a rather large earthed bolt. NFI how the stock alternator survived.

Was pretty loud, farkin bassy, and sounded pretty good for a system that cost me under $2k all up, but it wasn't doing clips/screws/interior trim much good, and I had no usable boot space - large power wires and an amp that ran very hot meant that I didn't like piling stuff up on either side of the box. It ended up stretching the shit out of my boot lock so I pulled the sub and Rockford amp out.

Now

Head unit: Pioneer DEH-P6050. Volume buttons worn through

Front: Alpine 6.5" splits. Both have blown voice coils

Rear: Bose rear fill. Fine!

Amp: US Audio 4x50W, still running the fronts

Sub: None, but I have my boot back!

the word that best describes my system is "secondhand" - all of my parts have been bought secondhand. Not quite complete as I'm yet to purchase an amp (Audison SRx3). But so far it consists of:

Source: Sony CDX-M630 (meh)

Splits: Focal Utopia 165W2

Sub: JL Audio 10W3D2

The stuff that's currently installed is Alpine DDDrive 2-ways front and rear, old Alpine tape unit with AInet 6 CD stacker.

What kind of audio systems are you guys driving around with?

STANDARD!! :)

if anyone here wants to unload their old 'double din head unit, ie...single slot cd/radio /tape deck' ........(if it looks nice and works), please pm 'SUPERSPIT'

I will pay a reasonable price!!

Ta, Mark. :)

Last week I installed:

Panasonic CQ-C9800U CD player with 4 x 60w digital amp

Focal 136v polyglass splits (135mm)

Decware DBII 'Deathbox' bandpass woofer box

Sony 10" dual vc ex-plod woofer (used, sounds fine for $100)

The Panny uses Tripath digital chips, and puts out a real 60w rms / channel. The sub box is about 450 x 325 x 325 so it's not small for a single 10, but it does sound good. The box is adjustable (to suit different woofers & cars) so maybe I can build a smaller one that goes in the battery compartment. This system isn't loud; I'm used to 2 x 12's in a 120 l sealed box & 3 big amps. That stuff added a LOT of weight to the ol' VL... I'm not doing that again.

Alpine 7878

JL Audio 500

JL Audio 300/2

JL Audio 300/2

JL Audio 300/2

Nakamichi 300 watt amp

2 12" Boston Acoustics Comp

2 sets 6 1/2" Boston Acoustic Pro Series Components

1 set 6 1/2" Oz Audio Components

1 set 4 1/2" Boston Acoustic Pro Series Components

It sounds pretty good.

    • What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.
    • I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.      
    • So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about
    • This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but.. 
    • Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
