ok guys so i been thinking about this 4 a while ..

first i wanted a sub box on the side pannel like you get the fiberglass ones, but wanted it to be wooden didnt like the idea of a flimzy box ...so here are my pics

the hole to fill ,

started with some dynamat ( didnt car about extra weight) just hate rattles and tiny sound

the disign lay out to get a pattern of how far i wanted it to sit back in there ..

designidea.jpg?t=1314015118after playing around cutting and shutting little bits i took it out to get the outside measurements and transferd it to my mdf sheet and cut it out and tacked it together to see if it fitted back up again DSC_0698.jpg?t=1314015118DSC_0700.jpg?t=1314015118

note the tapper in on the left to fit past the brackets

fitted up nicely i think had to add it strips under the base to keep it square and sitting flat i tidyd the strips up and screwed em down

( i have finished this box and coved it ill add pics 2mora) its air tight screwd and liquid nailed shut

the amp's will be on a flip down back peace under the rear window so wen its pinned up you will not see the amps or wireing unless its unpined and droped down to keep the boot simple and tidy i havent started that yet but ill update wen its done

also if you dont like well meh :sleep:

FYI .you could have done it and had it behind the panel, there is plenty of airspace and you wouldnt loose any boot. 12" subs fit no cutting of steel

bet that dash is a bugger on sunny days reflecting off the windscreen

but overall a better attempt then some of others in the audio section. IMO

its not a gloss paint so it doesnt reflect at all as for box i wanted a sealed wooden box if not i would have just made a pannel like you said and flush mounted it in im not fussed on boot space as its a weekend driver just wanted to get the spare out with out the sub getting in the way

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
