Biggest Sub To Fit In R33 Boot

[thorpe84]

i know i know, i tired to search but when i typed in "r33 sub" so much random shit came up it caved my head in.

so just quickly, generaly speaking, what is the biggest sub you can fit into the boot of an r33?

im thinking about getting a half decent 10 inch in a sealed box, would this thing be alright?

u can probably fit 2 15" subs, but u wont have a boot.

It depends wat your looking for. If u want spl or sq. For sq, 10-12" sub in sealed box would be most responsive. Whereas for spl, 12-15" ported is the way to go. Of course u can have a ported box thats still good in sq. It depends wat woofer your getting and wat its reocmmended box size is

Get some DD"s

yar, im thinking if i get a large sub them everything in my car will rattle like the spoiler and so on.

so sound quality rather then SPL would be the better option.

if anyone has a single sealed 10-12 in their boot could you please post a pic so i can sus out how much room they take up. =) cheers

Try dual 18" kicker subs .. if you want the biggest .. if your looking at any dance music will sound like shit tho!

bigger sub runs slower and ussually out of time .. depends on sub tho but 12" is best .. Just buy a top of the line sub .. I.E JL W7 or Fusion NV series

BIG BASS

not everyone has a grand to spend on a sub...

i tried to design a box for 2 15 inch speakers, but the slot port box was bigger then the boot, would have had to be made IN the boot, and would need to be disassembled to get it out... not to mention i couldnt get to the battery... (damn my fancy design and high standards )

2 12's seem to be the go in skylines... ive noticed with skylines too most of the audio stays inside the car

Whos sub cost $1000? mine cost me $300 NEW

Why not one 12" and two 10" check out caraudioaustralia.com.au for cheap second handers

There are a few installs in this thread

I listened to a 10" and 12" sub in the audio store and the 12" had a fair bit more bass and was only about $10 more or something like that so made my decision easy.

2x10" JL's for me.

They're not actually in the box here, but they juuusssssst fit up on the section next to the battery. I'll take more detailed/useful pics if You want. I can get the space saver in&out no probs, but I've gotta trim the bottom of the box to get an inflated full-sized tyre past.

I listen to a fair bit of rock & metal, so I really dig the tight, punchy bass from the 2x10's, plus they still push out plenty of SPL down low for hip-hop & Dance! - Volume is plentiful, with only 50Wrms per sub ! ! ! !

oh, word: if U mount a sub box under the parcel shelf, it CANNOT touch the HICAS box, which is slung under there.

Can't you just unbolt it, and move it if its in the way?

probly one of the biggest missconceptions in car audio. group delay has more to do with box design, physical weight of the cone would have basically inaudible effects, if driven off the same amp at same impedence/power etc

[HypeR33]

if you are only looking at 10" subs then there wont be a problem. Depending on how you mount it, you can go a lot bigger and fit multiple in. Depends if you want to go a box, or a custom install...either way you wont have much boot space left.

If you relocate the battery etc from behind the rear seat you can put a box in there to keep some boot space. That all seemed to hard for me, but the result is that I could fit a set of golf clubs in the boot it I wanted to and not much else.

Also to help with sound travel into the cabin, remove the metal plate behind the rear seat

If You're comfortable that You know how HICAS works well enough, that You can relocate the control Box and not mess with the sensors in it, then by all means . . . . . knock yourself out Tiger ! !

Here's the work of art, that is My sub Box:

The big relief on top is to clear the HICAS Box, As U can see it's a TIGHT fit to get the 2x10" cones in, that box runs the entire height of the under-parcel-shelf area. It's 38 Litres, Which gives a flat response curve down to 70Hz, where it starts dropping away (like most sealed boxes do) to lose 3db at 45hz, & more below there. That's okay tho - I just give the 45hz boost on the Amp a lil' tweak to compensate. NoiCe ! !

Lol, I love it, i can imagine the strain, by the belted in parts on the back. I had to belt in a 15" under the parcel shelf of a VL.

Here's my mates boot, labor was a carton of piss as far as i know

Here's mine, gonna tidy it up a bit one day, the floor is all sunken, so prob make a fake floor and fit the subs closer to the walls using the same boxes, apparently right litreage. (doesn't look even, I'm a neat freak when it comes to that sorta shit.
