I've got a n00bie question. I've currently got a JLw04 sub with a Fusion 1000w amp. I want to get rid of my sub to free up the boot.

Can I get decent bass from rear speakers instead. I am not after loudness anywhere near what the sub can do. I'm just after abit of crisp bass to complement my front speakers.

If I can do this will I still need an amp? Any suggestions on speaker models and amps?

Thanks

i guess a good set of rears speakers will provide some bass, no where near the bass from a sub/amp combo of course. dont get 6x9's. speak to your local car audio shop, if your in melb check out gayrs car radio in preston, good advice they give. maybe ask fhrx (he's on here) he works at an audio shop in nsw (maybe sydney??). ive got 6" alpine coax speakers in my parcel shelf and they sound great, i also have subs however (2 x 12") but if i turn off the subs i still get some good sounding bass

Hey guys, while you cannot achieve bass equal to a full powered sub you can get a fair amount of bass in the car using a few tricks. You can use a high powered set of quality splits at the front and using HEAPS of sound deadening, you can cross the speakers quite low (around 30-50hz). But you'll need serious power to run them this low.

Another option is to run free air subs in the rear shelf. Using specially made spacer plates you can put two infinate baffle 8" where the factory rears usually reside. :cheers:

P.S: I do own Fhrx Studio's which is an Audio shop in Sydney. :D

or you can make a small sub-enclosure and fit it next to the battery.

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
