Best Area Of The Boot To Place Sub In R33, And What Type Of Enclosure


Recommended Posts

As per title, need some ideas, i have a pioneer 305c 12" sub, with a closed sealed subbox, and was wondering where in the boot the sub works best.....i was wanting to create an mdf peice of the backing board that hides the battery in the boot, and mount my amp + 12" sub to it....would this be a good idea?

keep the sub in box for now and try facing it towards the rear.. then try rotating it around to face the seats.. then face it up etc.

different cars give different results. out towards the boot is generally the loudest with sedans.

If you want more noise, consider switching to a ported box (know what this is)? i think the 306c works better in a ported.

you will need to make one up yourself or get a pro to design you one. you can find out how to by going to

mobileelectronicsaustralia.com.au and searching the forums on information. you use the sub's information (found either on the Pioneer site or your instruction manual etc) to work out the best size, port length etc.

Its easy to get wrong but not too hard to get right if you think about it a little, read up and are prepared to give some time.

it can literally be twice as loud in a ported box wich is tuned correctly

old thread but...

as Alex said that driver is better suited to a ported box.

Suitability Factor = Fs/Qes = 32.7/0.317 = 103

Anything >100 is better ported

Anything < 50 is better sealed

Anything in between can be used for either.

A ported box will give lower bass but require a larger box

im thinking of putting two twelve inch subs on either side of the boot just behind the tail lights..if that makes sence..

yeah i get what u mean, thats what i wanna do have it fiber glassed into the sides but only 1 at the start as i got my 1 amp all tacken (as amps are expensive) with the front alpine amped back alpine amped and my sub off 1 amp and dont think will b enought for another 12 inch alpine sub to run off of it haha ive only got 6.5inch S types in front and back and a S type 12 inch sub and thats enought bass outside..crystl clear inside no distortion in speakers (had it pro tuned) from to much bass and no ratling, reall happy! sh@#ts on any other commonwhores sound system!

Your referring to one on each side of the boot facing outwards right?

Because pointing them toward each other would be a really bad idea...

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
