as in title, I want to know if anyone had managed to make a sub box with 2 x 15" subs fit in the boot of their R33. I may be buying someones entire stereo system and just wanted to know if anyones done it successfully before. I have asked him for dimensions but he hasn't got back to me yet and I may be able to get a smaller or differnetly chaped box made up anyway

thanks guys / girls

lol! each to their own. i don't see how a bassy sound system would be horrible. I think 'horrible' is what my stock standard factory system sounds like.

why would you want such an over kill of a stereo in the first place? It would sound horrible

How is it bassy? Where will you be sitting or standing when you are listening to it?

Did you know that a 63Hz sound wave (roughly the frequency of a kick drum) takes about 4.8 metres to travel so if you are any closer than that to the speakers you wont hear it.

Hi there,

I have an R33 series 1 4door, now i think that they are the same size boot as the coupe. You will probbably have a lot of trouble mounting 2 x 15 subs in behind the rear seat unless you sacrafice a lot of boot space. If you don't use your boot it should be easy. However i think that 2 x 12s would be much better. The difference that you would actually hear between 12s and 15s is very minimal. I mean on paper the 15s go deeper and rattle the car appart more. I have had 2 15s and 2 12s in my old car and the 12s were much better because they have a higher respons and better sound. (my opinion.) If you get something like Rockford Fosgate our soundstream you really would only need one 12. They are insane. However i can understand the need for symetry i.e 2 subs.

You will ahve to consider what amp you are going to use aswell. You should always overpower speakers so that your amps dont work so hard. By overpower o dont mean run them into thr ground i mean supply them with more power than they need.

Thats just my 20 cents. I have gone through a few stereos, but like i said before each to their own.

:(

In a car you will hear it, because the sound bounces around the car. You are right though, but that is more the case in a hall or big room. A human ear cant hear below 20-25hz or higher than 15khz (some exeptions) so when you buy a speaker that is rated to below 25hz it will just shake everything :(

they will fit but you will have to have the box leaned back probably greater than 45 degrees.

in my 32 the box is at about this angle to fit under the boot lid for a 12 inch sub.

the bigger the sub the further it will have to be angled back.

i dont know how much higher a 33 boot is than a 32 boot though.

you will most likely have to custom make a box

thanks for all the comments guys.

I would not usually be looking at 2x15"s but it was just a good looking deal I came across. I have previously had either 2x 10" subs or 1 x 12" to give me the kick I needed. I still might lean towards the single quality 12" over 2 subs as I will need some boot space left for the groceries!

any recommendations on a killer 12"? I have heard the Alpine Type R are decent but I must admit to not having much knowledge of models / brands...

I have a Focal sub.......on rails(8") fitted to my gtr33.

Fits nicely in the corner without taking up much room.

You really for 2 * 15 Inch subs should look at a custom job.

Get a good installer to quote you.

You will take advantage of the dead space in the inside of the boot this way.

Cheers.

Give me a couple of days and I should have part of my guide up for making a fiberglass sub enclosure.

I'm using a 15inch that I had for my previous car because I could be bothered selling it and buying a new one. It sits in one of the back corners of the boot. Pretty much the area I masking taped off in the attached pic. Just repeat for the other side of the boot and your set. You'll lose access to your jack though if you don't make them removeable.

hey guys i got 2 10" comp subs in the boot of my sky, like the dude with the taped up areas showing where boxes go i got some pics of mine, ignore the fact that i havent finished carpeting the necessary areas. i have also shifted my jack to behind the extinguisher u can see in the pics, there is a small door cut out, check it out. i could have put 12" in but i kept my 10" comp subs instead and they still rattle the tits off the skyline.

only 1 hint of advice is that u remove the old standard car amp, in boot next to battery mounted to underside of parcel shelf and redo all the stereo wires, clearer sound.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
