Speakers Need To Go Louder

Ive got alpine splits type R in the front of my skyline.. My system is set up so over 30 on the volume and the speakers distort..

I want to push this higher and wondering how to do this?

My amp is a 350 Vseries Alpine and whole car is installed with 6.5 (type S rears) 6.5" (type R fronts)

Is there anything I can do to push it higher? ive not even looked at the amp yet but when it was installed they said run it in and come back for a re-tune, The top guy left that day so I said yeah no worries and didnt go back because the aprentice would do it .. which I wouldnt be pleased with from his "accidents" ive heard about.

So do you think turning up my amp slightly will improve sound or just make it distort earlier in the volume control?

From what I read if I need it to go louder I need a bigger amp and speakers which can handle it .. any ideas people?

If you turn your amps 'gain' up, yes, you will reach distortion earlier (below 30 on your headunit).

Does it get distortion on the low notes? Then you could try to bump up your high pass to filter out some of the lowlows. Ultimate solution, get a sub to play the lows and keep your others for the mid-bass and higher freq's.

Ohh, and have you checked its not your doors that are rattling making the speakers sound like junk? Something to think about.

what he said, knock out 100 and less and it should handle a lot better... have a sub do up to the 120's, that will take a lot of load off the speakers, reduce heat and give a clearer sharper note... having the 20 hertz crossing over will fill in whatever gap you may have...

this is assuming you have the ability to do that, and have a single (decent) 12 inch sub...

      R34 RB20DE NEO + T ONLY

      By Sxnjeet · Posted

      Hello, I'm trying to make this thread basically the thread with all the answers to common questions regarding specifically the RB20 DE NEO + T engine, that comes in the R34. Answers will and only should be provided by those who have done this conversion or actually have some relevant real life experience please. Please feel free to ask questions in the comments if you have any so other members can answer. I feel like this thread is really needed, especially with more Americans buying (unknowingly going to regret it too) rb20 neo r34s. My first question being - What do you guys use for tuning? I have purchased a haltech elite 2500 Plug and play kit for the rb25det NEO because the ecu plug is the same, but I am unsure if any of the pins would need to be repined to match. Second question that I see asked very often - After this conversion, did you install the boost solenoid/ actuator? I see many people doing a + T setup on their rb20 NEOs while running stock RB25DET NEO ECUs with no tune. I am wondering how they are going about doing that and consistently abusing the car because many of these people have had these untuned setups running for a very long time. That was my original plan, but my engine cuts out at 5 psi of boost using the stock ecu with no tune and no boost solenoid/actuator.

      interesting. ive read and heard otherwise over the past year. ive been doing this +t conversion on a rb20 neo using all oem rb25det neo parts including the ECU, and im having engine cut out issues when I hit around 5 psi of boost. Everywhere/everyone ive asked has told me its because I never wired in a boost solenoid/actuator to the ecu, so the ecu isn't getting the right signal once it hits 5 psi of boost, causing the engine to get shut off.

      Something strange is happening. I didn't touch the car since we last spoke on the forums. Yesterday was the first day of good weather, so i took it out for about 2 hours. It started up on first crank every time about 5 times total. I literally didn't do anything to do the car.

      I purchased this one. Very well priced and works great. I was rough with it to see if it will last and had no issues.  Teslong Two-Way Articulating Borescope with Light, Industrial Endoscope Inspection Camera with Articulated Probe, Flexible Mechanic Fiber Optic Snake Scope Cam for Wall Automotive Engine Inspect-5FT : Amazon.ca: Industrial & Scientific
