gday, i brought a GT-T over from Japan a few months ago which had an amp and subbies installed (see pic below). question i have is, are those speakers actually 'subwoofers'? They produce a heap of bass so obviously that is their function but they have no cone (the other side you cannot see is just flat metal).

reason I ask is that the previous owner had them installed in the drivers seat (lol!). anyway i wasn't too fond of driving around with a boner all day so ripped em out but i'm tempted now to put them in the boot.

my audio knowledge is piss weak but I understand that subbies etc do need some sort of enclosure to work properley. if i mount these things behind the rear seats as-is am i wasting my time? if it's going to require fabricating a box or anything I won't bother.

cheers

EDIT: did a bit of reading and am wondering if these things are actually 'tactile transducers'? (basically a device which emits a vibration and is bolted to a drivers seat, couch etc for the person to feel - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tactile_transducer)

your resaerch is correct. they are meant for cars with no room. alpine did them in the late 90s. nail them to a seat/floor and you had bass (or rattles :( )

ah thats a shame, i guess they are of no use to me then (except maybe as a way to freak out passengers :P )

thanks anyway

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
