Hey guys,

I have been planning my stereo upgrade, but have had a change in direction (going to go all in and throw out the entire Bose system instead of trying to work around it). Unfortunately, this decision happened after I purchased a few things which I no longer need.

ITEM: Infinity Kappa 60.9CS

PRICE: $210+postage

DESC: I was planning using these in my rear doors, but have since found they don't fit (too deep). However, they are a good upgrade for those who want to do their front speakers, and they are one of the ONLY speakers that are a direct drop in replacement for Bose speakers as they are a rare 2 ohm impedence (same as factory). If you use a 4 ohm speaker on the Bose system, they will be very inefficient and lose a lot of volume. The Infinity speakers can be run off the OEM Bose amp with good results due to their efficiency (sensitivity rating of 93dB which no speakers in this price range can match). But they will also take 90WRMS, meaning if you want to amp them down the track, they will be up to the task.

CONDITION: Brand new in unopened box. Waiting for them to arrive - will be sold on immediately.

ITEM: PAC ROEM NIS2

PRICE: $45+postage

DESC: This is a must have for anyone who is planning on using an aftermarket head unit. When you change the head unit, you lose the digital signal that the Bose system runs off, resulting in a large loss in sound quality. This is a simple plug n play that goes into the Bose harness on one side, and into your head unit harness on the other end. With head units so cheap at the moment, it's the perfect time to upgrade.

CONDITION: Brand new in unopened box. Waiting for it to arrive - will be sold on immediately.

Pickup is avail in Melbourne CBD, OR BUY BOTH for $250 and I'll pay the postage.

Nothing digital about the bose HU signal.. it is just balanced.. so you just need a balanced to unbalanced converter or find an amp that can accept a balanced input.

Thanks. Which is what the PAC ROEM NIS2 is.

All you need to know is that if you want to run aftermarket head unit with your Bose speakers and amp - you need this.

Will also have a JL Audio 500/w Slash V1 series amp for sale soon too.

Throw me an offer guys.

These will sh1t all over your Bose speakers.

Selling because I've purchased some Focals for my front stage (don't tell my missus)

Also have this for sale:

ITEM: JL Audio 500/1 V1 Class D Mono Amp

PRICE: $250

CONDITION: Used

DESC: It's a couple of years old. No scratches, just a bit dusty. Rated at 500WRMS @ 4ohm - it's currently driving a 250WRMS Sub, so it has had a very easy life. This is a top quality amp - only selling as I've bought a 5Ch amp so I can one run one amp to power my whole system and hide everything under the carpet in the boot. Can hear it running.

Which Focals did you get? They are awesome stuff :)

I bought the P165 V30's....planning to run a front stage only - and remove the rear speakers and 6x9s all together.

    • Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.
    • On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
    • 12.8 for a great condition, fully charged battery. If the battery will only ever properly charge to about 12.2V, the battery is well worn, and will be dead soon. When I say properly charge, I mean disconnect it from the car, charge it to its max, and then put your multimeter on it, and see what it reads about an hour later. Dieing batteries will hold a higher "surface charge", but the minutest load, even from just a multimeter (which in the scheme of things is considered totally irrelevant, especially at this level) will be enough over an hour to make the surface charge disappear.   I spend wayyy too much time analysing battery voltages for customers when they whinge that our equipment (telematics device) is causing their battery to drain all the time. Nearly every case I can call it within about 2 months of when the battery will be completely dead. Our bigger customers don't even debate it with me any more ha ha ha. A battery at 12.4 to 12.6 I'd still be happy enough with. However, there's a lot of things that can cause a parasitic draw in a car, first of which is alarms and immobilisers. To start checking, put your multimeter into amps, (and then connect it properly) and measure your power draw with everything off. Typical car battery is about 40aH. Realistically, you'll get about half this before the car won't start. So a 100mA power drain will see you pretty much near unstartable in 8 days.
    • Car should sit at 12.2 or more, maybe 12.6 or 12.7 when fully charged and happy. If there is a decent enough parasitic load then it will certainly go lower than 12.2 with time. You can't beat physics.
    • Ok guess I can rule out the battery, probably even the starter and alternator (maybe) as well. I'm gonna clean those leads and see what happens if it's still shit I might take it to an auto electrician. Unless the immobiliser is that f**king heavy, but it shouldn't be.  If I start the car every day, starts up perfectly never an issue. Isn't 12v low, shouldn't it be around 12.5v?
