sup yall. thx 4 all the help n of course the search button. i guess everything i needed 2 know was just a mouse click away. well im still perdy interested in gettin a 95 240sx and i have two options for headlights and choice of swaps. so would yall rather prefer r33 headlights or s15 headlights on a 95 240sx? ive already decided to have supra taillights. o yea n the choice of swaps im goin thru rite now is either an s15 sr20det or an r33 rb25det. or maybe i should just 4get bout all this save some money and buy an r33 with an rb25det from nightxcz77 for 13 Ks? either way im spendin bout the same amount of money except for the legalization extra on the skyline but the bragging rights would be well worth it. hmm well holla back

damn i wudve thot sumone wud atleast give moe advice on my options or atleast say ur welcom as a gesture. o well. not in a good mood right now. it seems that i have F***ed the S*** out of my brakes. i need new rotors pads and shoes. of course this is for the sentra. i guess ima finally go ahead n sell it althou i will miss it. and then its either on to a 92 240sx if my dad gives me more money or if i can find a job or im stuck with an 88 corolla ...which by the way is a lot faster than my sentra. altogether its been a 5K investment including the cost of the car a new engine a new head gasket new brake drums tires batteries and alternator. was it really worth it? i cudve gotten a 95 240sx 4 that much. hmm well peace

got my brakes fixed but as usual nobody cares. only had to spend 120 on it with my dads old mechanic compared to 280 at firestone. just goes to show what a good mechanic is worth. not so many around anymore though. i guess im not selling the sentra yet due to being unemployed and broke at the moment unless i decide to use up what i saved in buying a car and then have no money to modify it. oh yea i have a question for anyone thats had experience with sony Xplod sound systems. ive been thinking of getting a cd player possibly sony Xplod (cuz im still running on factory radio with casette) an amplifier possibly able to handle 1500 watts and one of those new sony Xplod subwoofers ( the pentagon shaped 12 inch subs that max 1500 watts) oh yea and i forgot about the 4 6x9" im also gonna need. i know a guy that could get me everything for 650$. so just needed advice on how good sony Xplods are since everything except my amp will be Xplod. and please dont call me a dumbazz cuz u think ill be trying to max out my system. ill have my amp set at 1100 watts and my sub at 1000. and yes ofcourse i do have knowledge of wiring im going to need which sets me back another 100$

in all my dealings with sony audio equipment for cars i have never liked sony. IMO they are poorly engineered. the sound quality is average but not exciting and i will never ever own another sony head unit if at all possible. nobody i know has ver liked their sony equipment. for about the same price you can get an alpine or pioneer head unit that is far superior in durability and sound quality. as far as seakers go if you ant cheap but good sounding pioneer 3way's are nice. sub i would say JL audio, rockford fosgate, or esx. fosgate and jl have better warantees though. this is all just my thoughts and experiences though hope it helps.

krazy skwerel thx 4 da info. i heard sony xplods were bad from 2 other people but theyre idiots who hooked up 2 600watt subwoofers to a single 700watt amp so just needed sumone elses advice before i made the decision. oh yea and as far as other sound systems go , i think i probably might go with a rockford fosgate or an infiniti amplifier after a whole lot more research and my second choice for subwoofers is JL audio or was it JBL audio. (the 15 inch sub that handles 1600 watts) well anywayz ive seen them at a car show and they sound pretty good.

glad i could help.

ooooooooooooooooh i was looking 4 subwoofers online all nite and i found a rockford fosgate 12 inch subwoofer wit a max output of 2000watts for 300$. and then i found a rockford fosgate amp for $800 to handle 2000 watts which really feels discouraging but fear not ill have the money sumtime by 2005.

Now when you talk about x amount of watts, you know the difference between RMS and peak, right? Also, I would assume that you know about ohm impedence, different wiring configurations, etc.. You can't just SET your amp to 1100W and your subs to 1000W,you do realize that you will have to wire them in various ways to achieve what you are talking about. Also, for the equipment and prices you quoting, 1000W is probably at best, 1100 watts PEAK @ 1 or 2 ohms. I can almost guarantee you that you will not find an amp capable of 1100W RMS at a stable, useable ohm level (say 4) for $800. Not to rain on your parade or anything, but you cannot expect to run out and bump a true 1000W+ RMS system for the small amount of money you are talking about. Read up on some audio forums about the various things I mentioned above, I would recommend SoundDomain.

thx 4 da useful info but i kinda have plans for the system. the watts im talking about are peak and rms theyre about 40% of peak so im looking around sumwhere of 800 rms. i use the watts to make it sound more ...(4got the word) well newayz the amp is set up at 2000watts (peak) per 1 ohm and then 1000 x2 and 500 x 4 but then i could always set it up per coil which is 250 watts per coil if im not wrong and with the proper amp kit and wiring and a setup of 4 coils on the sub i will be putting out 1000 watts. (peak) sumwhere of around 50 db? and if things dont work out as i planned, theres always that boxed infinity amplifier (4000watts) muhahahahahahahahahaha (my evil laff)

lolz i kno i hav no idea what im talkin about. im not really too knowledged on how systems work i thought it was simple ... u get a powerful sub and a more powerful amp, set it at at most 75% of its peak power handling connect some wires and a deck and youre done. well newayz i was looking around sounddomain thx 4 the link by the way and i just had a question, when they say bridged rms power what the hell do they mean>?

When they say bridged they mean that instead of using all the terminals on your amp (say 4) you just use the two that will bypass the others and let the most power flow. You really have to look in your amp manual as they can be different, but in essence all you do is take the negative terminal of one side and the positive terminal of the other side and wire them either in series or in parallel to achieve the ohm level and the wattage you are looking for. Diagrams are really easier to understand than words and I believe there are some wiring diagrams on SoundDomain. If not you can always google it. But really before you go and mess with any wires in your system make sure that you know what you are doing as you can fry an amp in no time flat. BTW if you want 1000W+ I would recommend investing in a farad cap as 1000W+ tends to drain the battery quickly and then the alternator etc.. So look into getting a farad cap as soon as your total wattage starts to get in the high hundreds.

thx 4 the info pgt892. hmm i guess the sound system is gonna be project number 5. approximately 6 months away. well newayz appreciate the help.

While I cant read most of this, I saw lots of power small price...

Check out the avionixx line of amps at http://www.avionixx.com and goto Elemental Designs for a nice price on them...

ED is a great company to deal with, and while I dont run an avionixx amp (run an ed sub) Ive heard nothing but good things about them.

hmm i have to clear something out of my head. i mean when i was a mustang enthusiast my primary goal was to build an import killer. now that i am in the import scene and still have love for the mustang and camaro , what am i supposed to go up against. i mean primarily i dont really hate cars , i just hate the drivers especially when i see so many integras and civics and accords running around with body kits large exhausts and clear lights . dont get me wrong when i say this im not trying to be racist but it seriously pisses me off seeing these little asian motherf*****s going around thinking their cars could fly. i mean last week i saw an eclipse gst with 3 asian dudes revving high when they saw a old black guy in a 67 chevy pull up beside them with 20 inch rims. lets just say the chevy took off leaving a trail of smoke and i saw the idiots in the eclipse coughing...trying to catch up. un4tunately my car was too slow to keep up and watch it all the way to the end. living in sacramento california , most of the modified rice cars around here primarily run on headers intake and exhaust with a body kit basically for show that hit 14 second quarter miles on their best days. ive been out to the street races at night where the 2 fastest cars are a 97 camaro with a whole lotta heat under the hood and a 93 civic hatch with a h22 that hit mid 11s, however once i get out to the tracks there are oldskool chevys and mustangs that hit 10 second quarter miles. well i seem to have gone off topic by far so i guess im just going to stick with hating front wheel drive cars and any driver that has one.

oh crap i drive a front wheel drive car
