just wondering is it posible to fit 2x 15 inch subs in the boot of an r33 (in a sealed box, mounted behind the seat) how big would the box have to be? would i still have enough room left in my boot? i want the box hard up against the back seat with the subs facing rear of car, will i have to move the battery? will the vibrations effect the battery?

thanks in advance for the help.

I have one 15" sub in my boot in a vented box... to get maximum sound outa it it needs around a 100ltr box which fills my boot completely not a skeric of room left... the problem with R33's is the shape of the boot and the opening from the fron tof the boot to the top seal is very short distance so its hard to get a box in there. Other problem is its hard to make a box where the sub faces towards the boot which is what u want becuase of this limited space. I am in the process however of workin gout how i can fit another 15 in there, i'll let ya kno when i done it how it goes :P

There is a fair bit of space, but I'd say you'd have to cut into your tyre well (hmmmm!) to get the clearance or have a false floor. When my sub comes I might try and mount it there... although when I think about it your not going to be able to get a sub-box setup using that method or are you??

Id be really grateful if anyone can provide more info on this. Iv got a 15 in my existing motor (R30 hatch) and am getting my new 33 in a few days. I want to mount the speak facing the boot, vertically if possible, as this has given me a really good result in my current car.

I will also be looking into getting a second amp and a 10 in the near future. the fifteen is perfect for the tunes I listen to, bt there's a hole in my bass response at about 130Hz. I want to mount the subs facing the back of the boot with the amps on a rack flusk with the tyre well.

any advice on the depth etc of the r33 boot would be gratefully appreciated.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
