I have a bit of a problem that I hope will be easily resolved.

First of all i'll start with my stereo set-up.

Nissan R33 Skyline GTS25t

Sony DVD Head-unit.

Pioneer 6" splits up front.

Pioneer yellow cone 6" x 9" rear mounted on spacers.

12" MTX 4500 sub in boot.

NO SOUND DEADENING.

All have been installed by myself but it has been tuned professionally. I'm an electrician by the way, so i had half a clue of what I was doing during the install.

But my main problem is I see....well actually HEAR a lot of cars go past with a LOT of bass coming from their cars. I want that Sonic BOOM feeling with my system. When I turn my system up, it sounds immaculate inside but as soon as I step outside, it rattles and shakes with only mild bass.

I have been told that it has been installed properly apart from the sound deadening, and it has been tuned to perfection.

Is it my set-up?

What about the choice of subwoofer?

Is deadening that important for this type of application needed?

PLEASE i need your help...

I've spent thousands envying those "doof doof cars" and need to solve this.

Any suggestions and ideas will be much appeciated! :(

would you like a noise ticket ($350) to go with it?? car stereo is for the driver not everyone else.

sound deadening (in your case) will not help your cause.

thanks for that...i'll keep that in mind...

although i dont have my music up that loud...

whenever i'm at a stop light i press the ATT button...but whilst driving i adjust the volume for my liking...not for others!

THANKS FOR THE HELP THOUGH....I'M PRETTY SURE THAT WILL SOLVE ALL MY ISSUES! :(

Genre of music, the quality of the source (ie what quality mp3, CD, etc), speaker types, speaker locations, amp types and wiring configs, tuning of the system, etc are all things you could look at...

your problem won't be easily (or cheaply) resolved

I agree completely with the posters above - the sound inside the car is all that counts, but...

install more subs, preferably poorly designed ported enclosures for that "boom box" sound - just expect that the sound inside the car will begin to be compromised (that boomy sound is terrible)

If you want bass outside the car you need to tow a trailer around with subs in it, just like in Fat Pizza...

Why would you want more noise outside the car? Is that to annoy other people or something?

Keep the noise inside your car!

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
