- Mon Nov 26, 2012 7:29 am #320906 While the interior is out I figured i try to tackle the audio. The owner before me was really a dunce and everything was rigged i.e looped bare wires into the speakers, crappy extension, random looped wires, hacked headunit harness, blown mismatched speakers......I got most of it cleaned up today and I will be ordering some new speakers, amp and sub eventually. I'm trying to wire the car up for audio before actually purchasing anything and I've never done audio before, I talked too a buddy earlier today about it and i forgot a few things to ask. How do I calculate the total watts? Do I just add up the peak wattage of the speakers and the one sub I will be running? How do I determine what the constant wattage an amp has, Ill be doing a bridged (one 10in sub to be bridged) setup with a 4 channel amp and when it says something like 250 Watts x 4 Output 500 Watts x 2 Bridged Output ( 250W x 2 + 500W x 1) what exactly does that mean?

Just added up the total rms of the speakers and sub i want, total is 500. Should I get a amp that has a 500 or get one with a bit of leway and get one rated at 700rms? RMS Power Output @ 4 Ohms: 40 Watts x 4 Channels + 300 Watts x 1
RMS Power Output @ 2 Ohms: 50 Watts x 4 Channels + 500 Watts x 1
Bridged Power: 100 Watts x 2 Channels
Its a 5 channel btw

Any info would be great!

- Sat Dec 22, 2012 5:16 am #322646 Attempted to remove the heater core out. Followed the instructions and for some reason the f**ker wont come out. The bolt in the engine bay is off, the heater valve cable is disconnected, the in and out tubes are off, the bolts are out from the inside (two top) and the steering bar is out of the way.....

- Mon Dec 24, 2012 9:16 pm #322766 Heater box still not out, its snowing............Anyway, my other car has two flats so thats 250 down :/. I have a buyer for my old clutch and flywheel and trans. Possibly picking up a freshly rebuilt gsr trans but im not sure I want that for boost. I originally wanted an ls trans with b16 3rd and 4th but I figure with my boost by gear setup only thing ill have to deal with is highway cruising.

- Fri Jan 04, 2013 1:52 am #323250 Heater core finally out, none of the diagrams showed there being another bolt under the box and attached too the condenser box from the bottom as well! Sorted that out but heater wont be in until next time.

Debating on if I should purchase new brake lines from acura to complete my conversion or just make new lines.

Shitty tools is what is holding me back as well (next to time and weather, STILL fighting to remove the rest of the old trans bracket on the frame rail so I can put in replacement.

Plus side, car is historic! Got the tags today!

Oh and look at my "sweet" porting on my manifold (1st time)
