JBL FTW... love the gear hey.

Running a 900RMS jbl amp to a pair of 400RMS 15"s, and a 6ch will power 6" front splits, 6" 3-way rears, and 6x9's in the tailgate. Gonna be massive, but still run a very decent SQ. Hoping for 145dB at the least, too...

bleeding ears anyone??

in a stagea wagon, with the thick metal/glass giving good acoustics, you dont "need" anymore than 1x 10 or 12" sub woofer, good 4x door speakers and a good deck/amp. Mine is a 7yr old setup out from my old car, less than a grand all up in original costs, and it pumps out more than my ears can take.

and thats from someone addicted to bass

Coz I am a techno junkie from waaaay back. As much as I hate to publicly admit my age, I was going to raves in places like the Midland Railway workshops back before most people on here had left high school (and primary school in some cases *looks meaningfully at Lil Bobby* )

Lemme guess... now you're as jaded as I am? :D

I dunno if your bass addicted (still talking about the audio type), I used to get normal speakers, make shitty filters for em, and put them in the bottoms of buckets firing down... cheap subwoofers ftw! :blush:

My first car had 2 15's in the boot and actually flexed the boot lid... it also made 2 women orgasm I am proud to say :D It was a 1979 Gen1 Honda Prelude... The stereo very literally cost more then the car...

Me and my mate sometimes go to his work too and set up their most expensive speakers (they're an audio/lighting company, work for a lot of bands and events) and see how much shit we can shake... that's always fun :D (speakers alone are worth something like $250k)

I made this: (it's a couch)

and of course there is my current car, which i just had to buy a $650, 25kg, 900CCA battery to power everything :)

I have owned god knows how many subs and amps, but most of my left over shit is now installed into friends cars :)

I would consider myself bass addicted :)

Nah, I'm not jaded, I just realised the music kept moving on, and I didn't.

Now I have a pair of daughters that think Carl Cox and John Digweed are The Kingz! LOL!!

Your couch rocks BTW!!

They were sitting on the boot with a bass tester going :D

And I'm sorta the same Rooster, I'm massively over the 'scene' I can't even listen to people talk about raves now without wincing...

Still love the music though, but it's hard to stay up to date when you refuse to go to any events, or have anything to do with the people that go... very hard indeed... I'm also not wasting my money on vinyls anymore...

srsly tho, BASS ftw... I don't know what it is about it, but I just can NOT get enough of it :D

why did i ever mention it... now i have a forum PET name. I should get them to change my sign in.

I'll be pretty happy with my setup. Its mainly cos i work in car audio - #1 people expect you to have a decent setup. #2 i can install it and tune it myself etc. #3 i can get car audio cheap as chips straight from the reps and suppliers so i may as well. What it would cost most ppl for a deck, amp and sub, i get a full car worth of decent gear.

A couple of 15s with speakers to give decent mid and high range iand im happy. Im not a bass addict, but i believe you get a much better sound by getting high quality gear and pushing it to half its potential, than by getting basic gear and maxing it out. Ive taken out a fair few SQ comps over the last few years, and built systems for customers who have done very well. SQ at volume over just bass ANY day.

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
