Hey guys,

what I'm trying to do seeing i haven't laid RCA's before specially in a skyline and the last thing i want happen is being inexperienced and bust something...

If i can find a place and get the RCA cables , anyone wanna have abit of a meet and greet somewhere or something, to give me a hand to get the RCA's laid properly once and for all, and get em into the boot ready for the box / amp [at home of course atm or if its away from my place or what not... ill bring it wid me but i can do the tuning or so i hope :) ] it would be much appreciated...

where is somewhere i can get A) FUSE for the power wiire from battery to amp... and secondly RCA cables...

cheers guys, i would of posted this in the audio part but i barely get any replies as is int here and this is also a chance to meet someone new that only RATEDGTR has met [ur a fckn legend :( ] ... plus gets ya outta home and not bored anymore :DDD

cheers,

:(

Answer to question A:

You can get fuses and RCA's for car audio stuff from JB hifi or any other car stereo place. The best thing to do (and the easiest) is just buy one of the wiring kits. They come with power lead, fuse, fuse holder, earth wire, terminals etc.

I havent had any experience with audio stuff in skylines though so cant help you out there. Just give it a shot, you cant really stuff it up, just make sure the power cables and the RCAs go down opposite sides of the car.

erm u dont need power cables run seeing the batterys are already in the boot mate :(

ive got 8 guage and 6 gauge shit but honestly i dunno what im doing *lol* i got 2 x 800 watt Epsilon 12" subs [alraedy boxed] and an Epsilon 1500watt amp...

so yer... *shrug*&

wiring kits are useless... id rather just get the gear myself i only need the RCAs everything else i took out fromt he old install

Ok ive got a r32 so the batts under the bonnet. You can get the fuses and rcas from anywhere as i mentioned.

Most people are at work at the moment, including me. Come along to a cruise or meet and im sure there will be heaps of people willing to give you a few pointers.

Rhett

RCA's, like rhett said are very easy to get. Go down to JB hi fi or Autobarn whoever. They all have them. How many channels does the amp have? What do you plan on powering with the amp, subs obversely, but also any splits or 6x9's?

Oh and what area of town are you in?

its a mono block 1500watt Epsilon amp... one channel i believe... ;)

and i just dont know what gauge i need... ive got the biggest fitting gauge power wire that i can just slot straight into the ports in the amp.. but if i could go bigger if its of any use / enhance anything and theres a way to get it in i would....

i just need RCA's and a fuse to put int he power wire...

problem is, A) i dont wanna damage the liner one bit and id rather the help of someone thats done it before so i dont screw up :(

Unless your running mega power for some sort of competition car stero i think the wire you have should be fine. The only probelm i can see is running the rca cables through the car. I did this but running it under the carpet in the middle of the car, under the seat and up into the boot. Power wont be and issue as the battery is in the boot already, so just put in the fuse between the battery and the amp, and wire in the power cable. Dont forget a decent grounding cable aswell. If you need help and feel like a drive to Wheelers Hill (near glen waverley) pm me, i will be trying to fit my cooler tomorrow but will still see if i can help.

im using completely only stinger pro series of cabling... just got it all today... its all setup on the amp and the sub box... [just put the wiring in etc...] but its not in the car... ive just left that for when i got someone that knows their shit, once the RCA + remote is layed [go figure the one wire ya need , and i forgot the bastard when i baught all the cabling *sigh*] so yer... lol

if u can give me a hand, please let me know ive PM'd u my mobile number and i got my keys next to me ready for when ya contact me, either message me or just call me mobi number... or prank it and display ur number and ill call u >... :DD

    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
    • Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.
