Sub And Amp In Boot Question

I've been pondering this same question myself...

I want to mount my amp on a fake vertical wall, so it can be seen but will not reduce boot space.

Fhrx - I've never seen a sub mounted in that little void, how well does a 10" work in there? Do subs work better when you face them towards the front of the car, or will it sound pretty much the same, with the 10 inch facing up to the parcel shelf?

from experience you get the nicest/clearest base if you mount the subs in an more open area, eg the boot itself not the small area next to the battery. now i know you lose boot space, which wasnt really a concern for me but might be for others. it just depends what your after...

personally i have 2 12inch pioneer 400watt rms in a box which is facing towards the rear of my 33, but on a slight angle (the way the box is designed) ie subs face slightly upward... im into R&B sorta music so base was pretty important for me... doin it this way i found gives best results! i tried facing them towards the cabin as well as two seperate small boxes on either side but found that there was not enough reverberation (basically echoing and movement of sound waves reflecting off surfaces). because the boot overall is quite small in the r33 (compared to say commodores) it is much harder to achieve the same amount of base. A good way to achieve more base is to use a ported box instead, i myself wil be upgrading to one for my 2 12inch subs soon. apparently you can achieve up to 25% more base out of them!

well i hope that helps answer your questions :-s

you could set it up like mine. the only thing you have to remember is to allow some space in between the rear of the box and the tail lights just incase you need to change globes. i just had the carpet extend under a faulty 3mm timber kicker.

the bcak panel still needs to be carpeted but you get the picture. its on a hinge so it drops down tto access battery and then also i have mounted a seperate bracket to hold the jack there too as my spare tyre is till readily accessible in the middle of the subs.

if you have any questions ask.

i got 2x10" CV Comp series subs and a US Boss audio amp.

cheers

      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.
