Hey there guys...

Mind my ignorance but i have done and installation in my 33 where i have custom made two 12Inch boxes to reverse mount the subs on each side of the boot.

Now the problem im having is that once the boot is opened i loose about 60-70% of bass... I understand that the subs are using the actual volume of the boot to produce the bass but how is it that show cars which have inverted subwoofers produce that huge bass....? the fibreglass enclosures i made are roughly 24L which is what is specified for the pioneer subs...

The subs themselves are 500w RMS each running of a 1000w RMS D class monoblock.....

However i think its nothing to do with the actual power side of things more to do with, volumes and porting or not porting... i assume???? My enclosures are sealed by the way but any help or advice would be appreciated as its frustrating me lolz....

The inversion of the subs will only effect the enclosure volume(As in magnets are not longer taking up enclosure space).

You are also wrong in saying the subs are now using the boot as the enclosure.

The show cars will have systems that are alot more powerfull that yours to produce the open boot results

Make sure they're wired OUT of phase if they are inverted

ie. cone still moves away from the box when the bass hits

By opening the boot you are also loosing any pressure that is in the cabin which can be why a lot of subs may appear to sound like poo once you pop the boot.

Very loosely put, the more pressure that is inside the cabin the louder it is going to be.

Having a quality sub box is more important than the sub itself or just as. Generally porting is more efficient = louder with less power but if the sub is not designed for a ported box it may end up being worse off.

If you're going to give a demo give it inside the car or just open the window/door?

      "CAD" version 1.0 It will have a 15mm lip around the top for 6 × 5 or 6mm nutserts and fixtures (two on each of the three straight edges), and some pinch weld on any exposed edges, it has three mounting points, one of the power steering reservoir bolts, and two on the rad support, my 120mm hole saw will make short work of hole for the silicone joiner, with ample room for some pinch weld  I've also got enough Carbuilders "peel and stick" heat shield to cover the outside of it at the coolant expansion tank and on the engine side, as pictured, and internally on the lid and where the fuse box is, I've also got some thin, about 3mm, black 3M single sided sticky foam stuff that was left over after sealing some door drafts at home to help seal the lid As for the shape, it "sort of" matches the shape of the fuse box, so shouldn't look to "out of place" The lower area and hole for the intake will need pinch weld with a balloon on it to fully seal the hole and bottom of it, that will happen after it has been fabricated so I know exactly what size is required  Filter service has been trialed,  and so far it was a simple process  Just need to get some alloy, and then head into work to use the guillotine and break press in the workshop Hopefully it should be sorted in a week or two Guestimated outlay will be under a $50 for the stuff I don't have on hand (alloy, 6mm nutserts, the pinch weld, and wrinkle paint) Disclaimer: That's what the "voices in my head" are telling me how the filter box should end up getting done......lets see if they know what they are talking about

      Have been polishing up the trailer rims as they had been sitting in the shed for a few years and are really in need of some love. This was after a couple of passes with chrome polish - coming up quite well ✅ .

      Welcome aboard! Is your Skyline auto or manual? I'm assuming manual. Does it have any mods done yet?

      Hey mate, the brown and grey plugs would usually go to the TPS, brown one goes on the bottom connector and grey is the top but isn't used unless the car is auto, your TPS looks different to mine though I've got a series 2 engine.
