i might even try to put up clear plastic so they can be seen.

try perspex....

i want to mount both the subs in the middle of the boot with amps on each of the sides.. (with lighting) and having it carpeted and with perspex casing for the amps.. but what im trying to sort out is how i can access the amp/sub wiring if the box is one huge joined thing..

In my holden "YES LOL" i have done what u guys are after i have a dual sub box for 2 12inch subs with clear back and polystrine balls bounceing up and down the with the amp also in a custom area. i spent around $300 tops on my custom install ihave neons in the box, and 12v coloured down lights for bunnings shinnying over the amp.

i will get some pics for u guys soon to show u what i have down , and to help u do the same.

all u need is some small background info on electronics and building boxes.

prespix is not the best idea as neons can affect the prespix casuing it to weakin, try a product called LEXEN

cheers.

im installing mine atm.. 2 subs facing out the back of the car with 2 amps either side and big 4channel for speakers in the middle infront of the subs under perspex with red neon..

a mate of mine is doing that so im not to sure who does the best ones and has the best prices etc..

cheers

I am in the middle of an install atm.. but I am only installing one 12" sub on the right hand side of the boot. (wanted to take up as little room as the boot is already small!) as for the amp it is mounted on the right hand side of the battery well. Fits perfectly with a couple of aluminium brackets. I was also thinking of building a perspex window in so i could see the amps... So for it has cost me $40 for all the wood an the aluminium all from bunnings... All I need now is some carpet to cover the sub box when im done and this should be pretty cheap option... i'll post some pictures tomorrow of where I am up too. :D

my install in my avatar cost me 250 bucks with all the work done by myself, when i can afford some better subs ill put the amps on either side of them, at the moment i have 2 different sized amps so i want to wait to get another amp so i have 1 for each sub and put them on either side.

Hi Lads,

You've gotta fibreglass! This is an absolute pain in the ass job, that gets messy and annoys tf out of you, but the results are awesome!

I helped do a job on my mate's Eunos 30X, we built two custom moulds that fit exactly into the boot (we had to build them mostly in the boot) and housed two 10'' and two 6X9's. Turned out awesome, and actually not too bad for tuning.

The beauty about Skylines is that they have larger boots to play with. To do this, firstly build a timber frame, then a fibreglass moulding for this frame, and finish off with bog to shape and smooth - very nice.

It took the two of us two weeks working every night and two whole weekends, but they are sweeeet!

romp you mean inverting subs, thats when you have them upside down, a sub in a box needs a certain amount of air for it to work, the advantage of inverting a sub is you can have a small box, and see the back of the sub, but it will work exactly the same weather the boxes are seadled or ported.

there really is no reason in having them, except for room, like in my case, i only have 3 cubic feet spare for sub box, soo its all going to be sub, and i am taking the parcel shelf out of the hatch, and actually having the subs on the top of the box, only because i need 1.5 cubic feet per sub to have htem ported

Argh so complicated... hahahahha...

im looking at building a curved second "wall" in the boot, having the 2 larger subs at the back (facing forward), then the 2 smaller subs outside of them facing inwards (slightly), then having the amps mounted on the internal walls...

Ah i duno...

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
