Hey Guys,

I was thinkin of getting a set of a 3 ways to fit in the front of my gtst.

6.5inch woofer

4 inch mid

1 inch tweet.

Can anybody please advise on whether this will fit, how would you fit it, without butchering the door too much and will it sound good.

Never seen it done before in a skyline, and on the philosphy of more is better, thought it would be cool.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks!

Yeah, thanks Chris,

That was exactly what I was thinking. But not only that, I would probably need to fit the crossovers in the kick panels too right.

Chris, being a sound installer, has this been a common request? Or moreso, do you believe that this is a worthwhile modification, or would the more traditional two ways splits be the better option

Oh yeah, heres another one, whats better for sq,

Jaycar kevlars or

Infinity Reference series

Again all comments are greatly appreciated

Thanks

infinity is my pick. I used to do a bit of work like that in the mid 90s (I stopped doing custom work.). it is worthwhile and it will yeild sq. the two way splits are (to me marty might have another opinion) a downgrade. do what you are thinking you will like it.

Scotty There is no doubt high-end 3way splits set up properly are sweet but considering what it costs to have 3ways installed properly you would get better sound for your money buying very good 2way splits rather than spend it on installing mediocre speakers like Jaycars or Infinity reference series

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
