Hey all just thought i'd share my boot install just finished last week

its a 12" DLS Free Air Subwoofer with DLS X-Program Mono Amp and a DLS X-Program 2 Channel Amp running my front splits :)

looks better now Cara, with two amps..lol, and great choice of equipment!!!.

hope you sorted the free air sub out, it was too loose in the sound off a few weeks ago. the baffle isnt right and needs to be sealed up better to control of the cone? a few simple and cheap tricks to make the woofer think it has a bigger box(tire well) and make it sound smoother hit harder??

Chris Rodgers and I are old installers ..lol, not just opening my mouth to waffle on.. so if you need help , you have my phone number. otherwise it looks nice much better then the old box hey!!! :)

defenantly looks better!

I would never go free air,takes a very special kind of woofer to cope with it and give good results.

In my opinion you will get much much better results even if the woofer is in a small sealed enclosure , such as the spare tyre well and use there tricks that us installers know to fool the woofer into acting like its in a slightly larger enclosure then what its really in.

EDIT: dam you cara lol,u got in before i did haha. Last year i organised the term lab setup to be there for the autobarn store i was working for at the time. i dont know if they have organised it again this year but i can cirtanly find out for you.

can I offer some visual tips Cara, dont shoot me for this...lol but the mounting tabs/screw heads on the amps are ugly, and should be mounted under the amp or a floating look to enhance the lighting for shows, a persplex mount under the amps to grab the light from the LED's above ?

sorry I know you just had it done... :) it still looks better by a 1000%

Cara is that a port with the mesh on it? that would be the problem or part of it. for the sub flutter.

can I ask why they didnt use a sealed box sub ? and sealed up the spare tire well?

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

      It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

      Blue slip

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
