Hey guys I’m sitting at home with nothing to do and my mind has started to wonder.

I thought it would be cool to mount a 12" sub on each side of the rear seat just under the rear side windows.

Has this ever been done before?

Correct me if I’m wrong but I was thinking

1. It would look really cool! :)

2. You wouldn’t get boot rattle because they not in the boot!

3. The bass does not have to work its way from the boot into the car so would seem louder, with better response!

4. And you would still have a full size boot with jack tire, etc.

Please tell me your thoughts and any experiences you might have had with this.

Cheers!

Diagram added!

Not sure how it would work. Correct me if i am wrong but dont subs work better when they are in the boot because of the sound vibration and such? Probably has been done. Ive seen subs in back seats before on silvias

If you turn the backseat into a sub enclosure, you then have to re-register your car as a 2 seater to keep it legal...

But having re-read what you just said, you won't fit 2 12 inch subs there... not comfortably...

nar i prob didn’t explain it very well i plan on keeping the back seats and have a 12"sub on each side facing the centre of the seat so they are just in the plastic side panels of the car on each side of the back seat where you currently just have fabric covering the plastic

just a quick drawing in paint, gives you the idea!

it would take a fair bit of costom work but what you think?

Wouldn't sound good as the enclosure will be too small. subs cannot be mounted like a speaker can..they need a enclosure of some sort or else get a free-air sub which sound terrible.

Stick with the subs in the boot will sound 10 times better.

JBL and Pioneer both do an 8" 2 or 3 way speaker. One of these in either side off a small two channel will give you heaps of sound, and iff you properly run sound deadener and a diffuser behind ityou will get a fair amount of bass too. No replacement for subs, but do sound nice.

itll be shyte.

those 8" coaxs are crap.

you wont get bass becuase there isnt an enclousre behind it...

what people need to understand, is that to get any sort of bass out of a speaker, some sort of enclosure is needed. this seperates the front wave from the rear wave, and therefore stops cancellation.

this is why we sound deaden, and seal doors, because it creates an enclosure....

couldn't you deaden and enclose that area?

from what i can remember when i stripped my 33, behind the 2 side panels was a large opening, which would probably create a decent sub enclosure...

i could be completely wrong however, i spent way too much time ripping every little piece out of it, that i'm trying to remove it from my memory. :P

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
