get some lower rated speakers, ie. nothing flash or powerful because those better speakers....require more power to move. hence u need an amp.

something like 30watts RMS off the headunit i'd recommend.

i sold some $300 rear speakers for a set of $50 speakers cos i wasnt gonna amp them, only wanted to amp my fronts.

unfortunately, u wont get much bass from fronts sorry =/ 6x9's off the headunit will give u a bit of bass though.

Nav2k is right, don’t get any thing to big coz u will wast your time, and u will end up clipping the speakers... if u want some thing good to run off a deck i found the lanzar neo speakers really good! and u can run them off an amp later.. i have a set in the back of my skyline and i run them off a 50x4 pioneer deck... find a good set of splits for the front and a good 2 way for the back and that should do nice, but i'm sorry to say u wont get lots of bass out of this set up, add a lil sub and ya will tho :P

for $200 u can get pioneers base splits (tc-c1602) and for $90 u can get the base 2 ways (ts-g1647) this is all really low end stuff but still good value for money (prices are RRP)

$600 is a pretty small buget for full system but you should be able to pick up a set of splits, 6x9's and small amp for that if you shop around. take a week or two go to every shop ask all your mates them go back to the shop with the guy who gave you the time of day and courtesy to listem. you can save big money on gear right now as alot of brands are bringing in their new equipment, so you can get last seasons gear on special. you dont always need to buy the best brand names for a nice sound and theres money to be saved if you or a friend can do the install

He does indeed :)http://www.soundoff.net.au/site/index.htm will give you an idea - he's a registered dealer for a number of brands but can get you just about anything you want. He did the alarm and stereo in my car - he gets ALL of my auto electrical work.

Tell him I (Marc) sent you and I'll kick his butt if he doesn't look after you :(

mate, for $600 u could get something nice for a decent upgrade for a factory system.

i'd be thinking of a jaycar 4x100 amp for $350 new, a set of PG Octane R or Hertz splits for $200 new, and an alpine type S sub or something for $170 new.

wiring should cost u around $50, box for sub around $20 if u build it urself.

Look for some of these things 2nd hand if u cant stretch the budget, u should be able to find them easily, esp. the jaycar.

althernatively, u can go a smaller amp, the jaycar 4x50RMS, which will still sound very nice, theyre a bit cheaper.

The ones you have in there aren't too bad :) I was listening to a CD on the way down here.

I got the Hertz splits in mine. They do sound a bit better than I think the kenwoods you have in there at the moment, but not massively noticeable to be honest. Think you'd probably want to go for something around the $500 mark to notice the difference, or go for the amp beforehand. So I reckon go for a good amp first, see when your speakers (and not the head unit amp) are maxing out -- then consider speakers.

Amp will allow you to get clearer sound at higher volumes, which you will notice.

    • I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well
    • Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well. 
    • Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info 
    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard 
    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
