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.

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
