Nice sub for a Nice car

Boston Acoustics vs Nissan

Sony xPlode vs Honda

You get the picture!

No one? anyone into Car Audio at all? I already have 1 in my car, used to have 2, just want boot space, so this one is going.

that must of been insanely loud with two of them, did you ever get the spl measured just asking out of curiosity? I'd buy it but I have a 15" Hertz (and no boot really)

Wouldn't say insanely loud, wasn't as loud as my 12" Kicker L7 in slot tuned box @37hz, but its heaps more nicer to listen to, the bass is nice and tight and crisps when compared to the L7.

I'm just running one in a tiny 1cu box and it's good enough for me, still gets fed 1kw @ 4ohms RMS though and it loves it.

Well the L7 hit 146db, and that was ear bleeding loud... I have never SPL'd the Bostons, but I reckon both of them would hit 140db+ easy.

Best part about them is they only need a 1cu box, the kicker I used to have was a 2.9cu box LOL

try mobile electronics forum (formally CAA)

tried CAA no nibbles... seems like noone is into car audio much these days...

kids just spend their money on stickers and tow hooks for their Hondas....

if no one buys it, I might get really bored and make an closure for the living room... run it off a Jaycar home sub amp module.

I had same sub in my ex's Volvo S40. Running off GT-24 amp (600wrms) got an easy 143db on Termlab in ported box tuned for SQ!! Good sounding sub that can thump.

Good luck with sale.

Man, is anyone into car audio these days?

I have two of these subs. I have not had a chance to do the full installation into the car but did a quick 15 min install to run them at an spl comp. With boxes just sitting and amp leaning up next to boxes I pulled 142dB. That was running off Alpine MRV-1507 (1500W Bridged). These are awesome subs, pretty much indestructible. Worth it for $200 seeing how when they were brand new they retailed for over $800 each.

Cheers

I use to run 2 of them at 2ohm off a 1.5kw monoblock... and they loved it... but yeah I'm going for the 1x 12 with moulded enclosure to free up boot space.

So as soon as I 1 of the 2, I'm going to get a moulded enclosure made up.

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
