ask fhrx, he seems to know this sorta stuff fairly well. i had a pair of free airs in my old vl in the parcel shelf and cracked one pair and damaged another. they were clarion free airs 10". i dont think their meant to be in sub boxes but cant hurt to try it i guess ?

ive got the ts-w303f 12inch subs, just about to put them in, would they run better free to air than boxed? gonna be heaps easier to get a good design if free to air, also just put sound deadener (spray on - not the best by the looks of things) in the entire boot area, any ideas on spray on sound deadener that will work really well.... its alot of area to use the mats!!

The main difference between free-air (infinate baffle) subwoofers and their enclosed brother is the stiffness of the suspension (the spider etc). One is designed to run with compressed air behind it, the other is not.

From that we can deduce that both will run in either application, but you have to be careful not to damage the subwoofer's internals if the unit is not in it's specified application.

sweet, just checked the pioneer website and they show this sub as being free-air so this will make it heaps easier to setup an install in the boot .. time to get the welder out :)

any ideas on the spray on sound deadener?

Well there are some interesting answers here.The answer to this question is yes and no......Yes sure you can put these subs will go in to a box but they will sond like crap and be as fruitful as a techo on an auto car........so now the true answer no these subs were designed to be run free air or infinent (sorry about spelling) baffle and should only be run this way as the suspention and q and fs factors are different.If it was me i would sugest you take those subs to a cash coverters get the money and put towards a nice pair of sealed/ported drivers....Just my @ cents

Well i have put these subs into a sealed pioneer box and the bass from them are excellent. So i made a twin sub box pretty much similar to the pioneer box. There was a difference in how deep the bass was with a proper sealed sub compared to the free air in a box. Im happy with the setup, getting the bass i wanted.

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
