Just picked up a pair of Crossfire BMF 1228 12" subs and a Crossfire VR1000D Monoblock amp to run them. Current stereo is Alpine X-Type competition splits in the front doors and DDLinear's in the parcel shelf running off a (few years old now) MRV-F540 4 channel, Midrange and treble is excellent, will i be pleased with these subs?

Ive heard good things about Crossfire and part of the reason i went about getting them is i dont know anyone who runs their gear. Anyone have experience with their stuff?

Cheers,

Chris.

sorry i dont have any info on the crossfire brand but i would have thought that this might have been a question to ask before purchasing, in case they turn out to be crap?

That said, if you do a quick google of the product number/name, you should pull up a few reviews on them

will i be pleased with these subs?

I doubt anyone can answer that! It depends on you, how you like your music/bass, the install etc. The most important part of installing any given subwoofer is to ensure you have a box of the right design and size to suit both the sub and how you like your bass to sound.

Crossfire used to be a good reputable brand, I'm not sure on the models, but your gear list sounds like a great package. As said previously, install will determine how good it will sound. Plenty of more in depth info around the webs if you need it.

Yea all fair comments, guess ill find out. If they sound shit at least they look good heh! the SQ now is good but i guess im starting to lean towards the spl side of things, either way when i have the opportunity (without looking like a moron) i like to listen to everything very loud.

Ive looked around on google but there isnt much info on this stuff, few pretty shit reviews ie: "theyre good" etc..who knows wat ive got myself into heh..

    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
    • Hi, i’m converted my r34 4dr auto to manual but need help with gearbox wiring. There are bunch of wires no idea which one for speedo drive, neutral, reverse can anyone help me. IMG_6860.mov
