Dual Subs

Alright, now I had my audio done recently, which is really quite nice. I have a fiberglass moulded sub corner box for my left hand side of the boot, but there is an ugly hole in the right hand side from where the previous owner had a CD stacker.

So, my question is, is it worth the money for a second sub? Do you honestly hear a big difference?

I'd be keeping things symetrical so it would be a moulded sub box for the other side and the same sub (12" Infinity, costs a fair bit but pumps SO hard). Is there much gain? I mean, going from no sub > sub is obviously a big difference, but from 1 to 2?

Cheers,

-Kane

Obviously there is a difference. Double base... I guess it would be a hell of alot louder maybe not sharper tho. but then ive never had 2subs. I know my mate had two in his lancer n when the kickers went in metal sounded wicked.

You would need to make sure you had a selectable phase switch on each amp/sub, otherwise you could experience major "suck out", where the subs essentially cancel each other out instead of adding to each other.

It's also not easy to predict in advance as it depends on the crossover frequency and how far apart the subs are.

If you don't have a phase switch you can just reverse the polarity of your speaker wires on one driver.

Worth doing if you don't have enough bass, but not just to fill a hole in the boot.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
