R34 Sub Setup

[BoostdR32]

I'm about to install my sub/subs into the 34 when I've found a suitable amp and i'm tossing up a few options. I can install 1 or 2 10" subs and i'm looking for the most space saving install as I use the boot for groceries etc. One possibility I was tossing up was installing the two, one on either side of the boot in those "pocket-type' areas. Anyone willing to share pics of their setups so I can get some more ideas. I was also wondering if anyone was able to tell me what an approximate 'fabrication cost' would be for the setup i suggested done professionally?

Cheers

here is a pic of my sub + amp in a box (12" JVC active sub) along with my separate 2 channel JVC amp which is powering my DLS front

its a bit messy at the moment but only cause i just wanted that sub in!!!!!

here is a pic of the install in my r34. sub was mounted in the tyrewell and amp mounted on a new board under the strut brace. keeps plent of boot room aswell!

other way is it pop it on the top area above the fuel tank. that leaves plenty of room.

fr33sty13,

nice job!

you can get premanufactured sub boxes that are moulded to the left corner of the r34 boot. when ive got the money together to get a decent sub and amp ill be getting one. they're about $300ish for a 12" sub. probly much the same cost for 10" maybe a bit less.

Any idea who makes these? Can you get them fir the right side too? ...*thinking* ... Would be a nice alternative to the big 2 x 12" sub box i have now ..

Ive been quoted them from Maroochy Car Sound and Sound In Motion here on the sunshine coast. They are only moulded for left side. i guess something to do with it being in the way of things on the right side. Ive seen one moulded for a 33 and they take up fark all space.

there is a fellow on the GC that makes them for wholesale to shops. I can get hem as well but I'm not sure if he does a 34 though.

Plenty of boot room but you cant exactly use it without something possibly poking through the sub! Needs a sub cover/grill to protect it then the boot room would be usable

Inverted my 12" to save on boot space but still had to raise the floor level a lil. My groceries goes in a box on the passengers seat

Reckon he would do a group buy on them?

Say 10 of each, r32 r33 r34?

Id be VERY keen depending on price

[Chris Rogers]

doubt it. he supplies OZ wide so a group buy to him would be a 100+ or more.

hey guys

here is my sub install. has plenty of room in the boot for other shit. i havent yet finished it. still needs the false floor made up and side closure panels to complete the sub facia.

cmplex design on the box, has a L shaped box with curved in sides. sounds good, specs say 1.25sq ft for the proper sealed box, mine is about 1.10sqft. little under size but not noticeable.

will post more pics once i complete it this weekend or mid net week

The best options for bass in a Skyline is to lose the spare and go fibreglass in the wheel well.

Woofers loading off the boot lid gives the best results. I've gone a big as 6 cubic feet for a pair of 9515s in an R33.

if you want to save on space go for a sealed enclosure.

a ported enclosure will give lower bass for a given driver but be much bigger

Jeez, what happens when u puncture a tire then? R34 tires aren't run-flats are they?

[Howie]

If it's a small puncture you can use Tyre-Weld (or a similar inflator-sealer), and you can drop in a bottle of puncture guard stuff but that's kinda messy.
