So i'm thinking if swapping out the already good speakers for hopefully something better. I have no idea what the wattage of the factory speakers are. From this site I have learnt the size of the front and rear. Anyway take a look below at what I am thinking of using.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...F8&v=glance front

or

http://www.amazon.com/Polk-Audio-6-5-Inch-...d_bxgy_e_text_b

http://www.amazon.com/Polk-Audio-5-25-Inch...4733&sr=1-2

and MAYBE

http://www.amazon.com/Boss-BASS600-Low-Pro...5206&sr=1-5

I'm sorry if this is a stupid thread. But i would like a lil help. If anyone cares to share their audio set up. And if you also know the wattage of the factory speakers.

you should try read more on G35driver.com in Audio section.

There are alot of people happy with just changing out the stock speakers to infinity one with 4 ohm. As our stock speakers is taking in 4 ohm instead 2 ohm on most aftermarket speakers.

your Polk Audio DB651 seems ok for the front, but please read more on the site i gave you to confirm. Btw is yours a Bose or not?

just curious, what's the reason most aftermarket chooses 2ohm ? are less resistance result to more powerful sound ?

what would happen if putting 2ohm speaker system on a factory's amp that feeds to oem 4ohm speakers? will it overload or underload?

well my car was bought used and it didn have the factory system in it. It has like an after market cd player... it has the tv screen tho. Should I take a picture? Thanx anyway I'll check the g35 site

All i know is that the lower the Ohm (2ohm or 1 Ohm) will create a more powerful sound, but less clarity hence the subwoofer. Therefore the Higher the Ohm are (4ohm or 8 ohm) will have much more clarity. Usually the 6.5" drive is to create a good mid bass therefore the 2 ohm is usefull for it, as the treble is created from the component tweeter.

I'm not 100% an audiophile, but i think that's what it is from what i learned. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

Home audio is 8Ohm, Generally car audio speakers are 4Ohm, I don't know where you guys got the idea it's 2Ohm.

Some subs, in particular dual voice coils, are 2ohm so can be wired in series to make 4 Ohm or wired parallel to make 1Ohm.

There are benefits and drawbacks for each, lower Ohmage draws more power output from the amplifier if the amp is capable of running lower ohmage. The downside is sound quality is reduced. Some would say that is not so crucial at lower frequencies BUT I certainly wouldn't be going less than 4ohm on your component ( front) speakers.

P.S. The speakers you've linked to are coax. In laymans terms the tweeter is mounted WITH the midbass driver. You want a component set where the midbass and tweeter are separate items. If the 250GT is the same as the 350GT then the factory locations are Midbass in the door and tweeter in the sail panel (behind the door mirror).

LOL even more reason to upgrade :D I don't have factory speakers so can't pass judgement on them but at 1ohm the sound quality would have to suffer immensely.

I'd normally assume the midbass & tweeters have HP/LP caps and are wired in series to present a 4ohm load to the amp, If not then the factory amp is an impressive little kit to be able to load down to 1ohm :)

for what it is the average punter is happy. for the SQ nuts it sux. the doors are paralled with a cap on the tweeter. I have a spare amp here and have yet to take the top off it. its an all alloy item though the size of a VERY thick book.

there is a removal guide for the radio posted in the audio section of this forum.

      It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!

      Huh, wonder why it blew then. I never really beat on the car THAT hard lol I dailyed it and the turbo blew after 6 months

      That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.

      I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
