hey guys. my stereo is due hopefully late this week. pioneer dvd player, Digital Designs splits, rears, 2 amps and 2 * 12" subs. anywayz, im lookin at doing a custom install. But haven't got much in the way of ideas atm. just interested to see what other people have done regarding there setups and if anyone would like to post photos of there boot displays (pref R33 but any is good)

hoping to see sum awesome photos.

cheers, Luke

I wasn't after anything flashy and wanted to keep some usable boot space so I fibreglassed up a box and mounted the amp next to the fuesbox and battery. Really need to retrim the rest of the boot though now as the subbox puts the rest of the trim to shame :happy:

This probably won't help you much as you have 2 subs and amps but you never know.

Im from Bendigo (in central Vic)

actually ordered my stuff through autobarn. tryed a couple of other local audio places and was disapointed with their service. so i took a list of my quotes in and said beat it. about 30 minutes of going through catalogues and a few diff quote options later my choice was made. The Pioneer dvd player and the DD 4 channel amp had arrived last time i went in. just awaitin the rest. haha so impatient.

moved my batt to the side walls, mounted the hicas ecu to the side of the sub box, moved fuse box to a better fixed point behind amp but next to hicas ecu and done. box made to suit, if u want 1 done i can help y out if u in melb. any questions just ask.

oh forgot to mention, 10" sub pretty much is the only one that will fit this way, 12 is a real squeeze and will require more work.

pm me if u have q's or want a hand

Is there any chance of mounting the subwoofer down into the spare tire hold and inverting the spare tire and using a small raiser to fit a lower profile 12 inch? IMO you cant beat using a sub box that is properly ported for the sub itself, but I do fancy the Idea of having the sub mounted on the floor side of the boot.

Here's what i did in mine, used the tyre well as an enclosure for the subs... its good this way coz u still keep your boot space...

thats even more handy hype, how are you finding those amps mate? they are the ones I shall be purchasing with my setup. lol i bought some pioneer 160 watt (30 watts nominal) temp speakers for 40 dollars the 2 pairs (yer instead of 90 for 2 pairs adelaideprosound :dry: . cant handle the crap stockies anymore.

The PDX digital amps are awesome...very compact and pump out some very good power and can be stacked to reduce space used (depending on your install). Had it shown at the F1 and cranked it a bit too much...blew the fuse, so now have no power to the cap and amps >_< gonna replace the fuse over the weekend.

    • how do you know voltage is fine?  quick easy test is connect DMM up and put it on max/min mode, remove fuel pump fuse, crank car for 3-5s, go check min voltage You'd be surprised how many "healthy" batteries are showing under 10v during this test in cold weather. 
    • Not properly. You need to be able to dissipate 100 amps or so to doing it meaningfully. You can do it indirectly by watching to see how far the voltage falls during cranking. Unplug the coils or something else to prevent it from starting so you can get a good couple or three chugs. It also helps if you have the multimeter set up reading before you start, and that it has max/min functions. So you can catch the real minimum without having to watch the screen, which often doesn't update fast enough to show the real max/min in dynamic situations. Or use a digital oscilloscope, which can be obtained for <<$100 from Aliexpress (although I'd argue for paying up to ~$200 for a nicer one). A >4 yr old battery will very likely be well down the path to the knackery. Many only last 5-6 years these days. The cold weather lately will definitely make it worse.
    • Hmmm, what do you mean by getting weaker? And where did you get that test done? I've been wondering about my battery because the cold starts crank super slowly. The voltage is fine. Not sure if cranking amps can be checked at home. Battery is 4+ years old.
    • No. The simplest wastegate hookup, with no solenoid or other form of "boost control" (ie, control over your boost control, if you know what I mean) is a single hose, direct from the turbo outlet/hot pipe, straight and only to the wastegate actuator. It is that pressure signal that drives the wastegate to open, providing the boost control (and by "boost control" here, I mean, limiting how high it can go, which is essentially the spring pressure of the actuator). You only end up with tee pieces and alternate flow paths once you start adding things to the boost control system to allow you to determine how much of that boost signal makes it to the actuator. There are so many ways to do that that there is no single way to run the hoses and tees and the like. If you have a stock boost solenoid, then all it does is either allow all the boost signal to go to the actuator, or open up to allow some of it to bleed off. There needs to be a restriction in that bleeder to allow only a small amount to bleed off. And in a stock system, that would then be plumbed back to the turbo inlet (for "emissions control" reasons). That is actually what that nipple on your BOV return pipe could/would be for. If you have an aftermarket boost controller and solenoid, then the above is mostly true, but there is no need for a restrictor in the bleed, because the solenoid is pulse width modulated to create a variable bleed off. The air that escapes from the bleed can either be vented, or also returned to the turbo inlet. For emissions reasons it should be returned to inlet, but the amount of air being vented is so small that it really doesn't matter (either from an emissions perspective, or from an air-fuel ratio affecting perspective).
    • And other times you just need to go buy bigger injectors?
