depends on what kind of sound ur after and what kind of music u listen to as well champ but i would recommend if ur goin for 1 or 2 subs dont go smaller than a single 12 inch sub as u will find u are left wanting in the sound and bass department if u go for 10 inch subs...... either way u go with the 12 inch subs 1 is enough if it is put into the right enclosure u can get amazing sound out of it.... and two is insane if done corectly hope i have helped in some way

yeah i'd go 2 x 10inch although 1 x 10inch would give that sound ur after but as punisher said you will be left wanting more later on.. it will also depend on the output Wattage on the sub and having an amp to handle the power required.. go too low on either and it just wont be sufficient

when i got my car it had 2x12" pioneers, changed them for a single kicker 12" and it sounded great, untill it died, there warranty is not worth shit either they kept sending it back saying they couldnt find a problem, bought another one since i had a kicker box and that one died as well, now have a single jl 12" and it sounds awesome.

See If I go 12 inch, I can't fit it in the boot unless I remove the floor, and I prefer not to.

I'm pretty sure I can run two 10s in the back without removing the floor?

I have a Rockford P 300-1 monoblock, so that will pump 300RMS into my sub. I'm thinking two P3 10inch subs, or 2x12inch P2 Subs but that will require a custom install.

I'm into RnB, but I don't crank the stereo, just like having nice clear sound :wub:

dont know if a 34 boot is smaller than a 33 but i have a single 12" box sitting in my boot no problem.

Don't be fooled into thinking that more is better. You can get great sound out of a single sub. Even a good quality 10" will sound excellent. What I would recommend doing is getting a small sealed box (sealed enclosures can be much smaller than ported, and they sound punchier) and fit a 12" sub in it. There's a sealed enclosure made by Qmax that you can get from JB. It's a good size - small enough to fit into my extremely shallow R32 boot. Then buy a nice driver for it, tune the amp correctly, and you're away.

well i have 1 12 inch sub and its great gives me all the bass plus my speakers in my car put out a bit of bass, i dont have the bass turned right up i just did it to test it i rekon ones enough, but then depends on ur music etc see i listen to alot of rock and 80's 70's like acdc deep purple kiss etc but if ur into the hard techno n stuff maybe go the 2 12inch for the full bass

The car audio shop down the road from me has an enclosure sitting around that replaces part of a skylines boot. The guy said it wont take up any extra room. Not sure which model it will fit into but PM me for the places name as im not sure if i will be breaking the rules saying a stores name on here. Pretty sure they said they got it from the gold coast so prob wont see them around very much.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
