Hi,

on the weekend im installing my car audio stuff into my new R33. Now this is the first skyline ive owned and the boot isnt very big. i have a rear strut brace in the back to. My question is, what is behind the back boot panel? Is it hollow behing there? If i remove the panel will i be able to make the box sit further back so i dont take up so much boot space or is there something behind there? and i jus plan on working around my strut brace.

thanks

just pull the carpet foward and see 4 ya self..

there is battery on left / hicas unit / some fuses and yeh

only thing you could use the space for is mounting / hiding an amplifier to save space

haha umm guess not will c tho...

not a chance... unless you remove everything and somehow relocate it.....

whatever you guys have done with that space upload some pics so i can get some ideas to what to do with my amps...

If you are in sydney, then i suggest you go to marty.. Whos marty.. well the guy who posted above me lol (FHRX) hhehe..

Anyways if got two 10 inch subs, then you might have some trouble mounting them above the fuel pump..

You will be able to squeeze your amp in there tho!!

Or you can always take your space saver out and you gotyour self more room..

I bought a Jaycar 4ch 100wrms amp to replace my bigger amp, because it fits perfectly in there!

Running one 12" sub in a box on the right-hand side of the boot. Well... the entire right-hand side of the boot really! =-/

Hi guys i have made 2 separate boxes measured up perfect to fit one on the left and one on the right for the 2 12" Subs also got some wood too make it my front wall and the Amp which is pretty big too (Rockford P4004) is drilled to it looks pretty good too, really simple doesn't leave room for anything else thou ;) i may have a photo if you don't know what i am talking about.

John

^ he meant that he puts different types of 10inch woofers in there..

Not two of them in that spot..

if you get what i mean??

yeh lol a was a bit tired then.. big night... haha tks for clearing it up...

im gonna mount my amps in there... well 1... my alpine amp will have to be shown

you spend enough on some stereo stuff you want some of it to be shown...

:-P

I got some info from the thread mentioned above and put my amp over the fuel tank and 12" Sub in the right rear corner, fibreglassed up a seald box for it. Didn't come up too bad and haven't lost much space.

hey man whered you get this custom sub box???

is this a good position to recieve bass in the front cabin..?

are you using 1 of these?

what would happen if you used 2 of these boxes 1 either side... would their be any cancellation or what?

i need these sub boxes!

how does that 1 type s 12 sound?

i am contemplating 1 type r 12 or maybe 2

I don't have any pics, but i have a two amps mounted in that space. I have my 12" Sub in a separate box in the boot... lol i stapled Velcro onto the bottom of the box and it just sticks to the carpet in the boot (which is glues + stapled to the board thing that covers the space-saver) and stops it sliding around.

got 1 x pioneer 12inch + 1 x pioneer 800w amp... threw the space saver away amp gets mounted on some wood and cut to a circular shape (so it sits perfectly at the bottom of the spare wheel well) and thrown in there then the carpet crap that covers that goes on top then sub in middle :laugh:

    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
