Hey, sorry to necro this again, but a few people went unanswered who wanted one. I saved mine made from lofty before my 33 went to the wreckers. If anyone in WA wants to buy mine they are welcome to make an offer. Doesn't do me any good in the V35 (like I don't have boot space to spear :P).

Just like I said to begin with, and anyone who snapped one up, they are awesome. Save space and fit/look great.

Im just about done making my Carbon Fibre Bandpass box for 2 12" to fit under the rear parcel shelf of a R34 GTT but had some built similar to these before, didnt have enough bass hit for me..lol going for extreme hit with minimal space consumed

the new box is pretty trick, putting it into the Extreme car show next weekend and running 2 SPL contests over the next month

and will post up the results ....and when I get time to run the Spectral Analyzer in the car before hand.

maybe If I can find a donor car to let me mold a box from I can do R32/33 or what ever pro custom box you wanted ?

Approx what size was the box?

What sort of price would this come in at to mold a box/template for a 33? I've been toying with the idea of getting  molds made up to sit in each corner of the boot but not sure if the box volume will be big enough for deep bass hits.

I design boxes for each woofers specs, not generic ones. generic boxes = generic sound

but when the bass enters the boot and cant escape into the cabin properly the bass is muddled and boomy.

now it hits like a hammer in the back.SPL is way up now too. since being ported thru the seat to the inside of the car.

before you ask I have been doing this for more then 15 years pro.

I can see if I can use a car from the wreckers or one of the local guys car for molds. lots of people want them...lol

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)

      Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!

      Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.

      Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
