Hi all, have an r34 GTT and am in the process of upgrading the sound system.

I have bought some 280 watt pioneer 4 ways to go in the front which will be through an amp. And for the back i have got some 180watt 2 ways also pioneer, Will that sound ok, or should i get something bigger for the back, il have a sub in the back aswell. Have heard the back dont really do a lot, so should i just keep with what i have??

Thanks guys

Well For starters the "max" power output doesnt really mean alot. you really need to focus on the RMS power handling, Magnet Weight, Tweeter material, and the speakers frequency range.

Also I Would never do I a stereo without a rear stage. even if the rear speakers are running off the headunit its still worth connecting them up, It fills the ambience alot better, Always feels like something is missing without them, we Have alot of customers coming in wanting rear speakers in there 2 door ute for that very reason.

If the front stage is over powering the rear simply turn the gain down on the amplifier or Fade it towards the rear on the headunit.

If you can get some better specifications on the speakers and amplifier I can help you a bit better, sorry mate.

The rms of the front are 50 watts, pioneer TSA1683S, and the back RMS is 30 watts, pioneer TSG1642R.

The amp im using is a pioneer GM6400F, so do you think it will sound ok/good having the front speakers through the amp and the back speakers off the deck??

What do you mean a rear stage??

Dont often have my music blaring loud, but want it to sound good and be really clear more than anything.

Its not the most expensive setup but am pretty sure itl be quite a difference to whats in there now.

Would you recomend this setup being that it is on the wallet friendlier side than others.

Thanks again.

    • See my post here If you put the Haltech in, you won't have to worry about any of that. And, in case you're worrying about my lack of credentials in doing your exact swap, I put a Neo in an R32. There has never been a stock boost solenoid near my car and the Neo's ECU has never cared. Nor should it, because it is electronically impossible for it to care.
    • That's 100% wrong. Did you wire in the boost sensor? If you did not, then that is 101% your answer. Neo ECUs do suck a bit.
    • 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.
