Hi All,

I was bored on the weekend (actually let's say feeling productive), and I recently acquired this cheap amp for $20 and needed to mount it somewhere out of the way. Instead of mounting it under the seat like some, I decided to make use of the space between the fuel pump access point and the HICAS crap.

Note: This only applies to R33 Coupes.

I reused the stock fuse block bolt holes, one thing to notice, there's a tab on the rear side of the block that needs to be trimmed/snapped off in order to allow the plate to sit flush.

Other than that, the photos should speak a thousand words.

Final note, I've previously found that mounting the amp there, next to all the power lines, etc. 'may' cause some noise, but when I replaced it with better RCAs the noise went away. In the past, I've used 2x Z like alloy brackets I made using a flat piece of alloy. Too much drilling involved, this method requires you to only drill 1 or 2 holes. I went for 2x because of that odd looking bracket I found.

Nice work, do you have the dimensions for the amp? The Kenwood amp I had in my last r33 would not fit in there.

Edit: found the amp at the Kenwood site Size [mm] : 330[W] x 59[H] x 227.26[D]

Are you sure?

It does the job for giving a bit of extra sub bass. Given that the car has enough road noise despite sound deadening in doors and under the rear seat/wheel arches you have to accept the car is flawed for getting great sound.

This is good enough for my needs but clearly not perfect or ideal.

his rear speaker cones still seem to be intact

How can you tell from that photo unless it was shot clear the fark out you wouldnt know ?

they will without any doubt distort when turned up and eventually blow the cone past the voice coil gap by the air pressure firing into the underside In turn it frys the speaker , sometimes instant sometimes slow death depnding on the pressure wave , they do make soft foam inserts to stop it or you can make some easy enough

Ive been doing this since before your birth prob so dont bother with your theory rants Mate

I'm sure if his speakers were blown he would know and that he would have noted that too.

That's great you've been doing since my birth.

      Unless you're fortunate enough to buy a newer car, getting an older style plate to match your name/car is difficult because they've already been purchased.  Unlike other countries, personalised plates are locked to the country and not region, so there can't be multiple versions of the same plate but with a different area code.  Hope that helps

      People use the numbers to make it look like letters to spell words/names, which is where the illegal spacing comes in. For example this GR Yaris

      Today's rock removal from my stock pile out the back into a 4m³ skip bin, I still have a bit to go, hopefully there's enough room in the skip bin, it will be close My daughter and her boy was coming on Sunday to help, but, I got possessed by demons and started work as soon as the bin arrived at 1230 today Lots and lots of barrow loads were achieved  Currently I'm sitting on the lounge drinking beer thinking of how I should have waited till Sunday for some help, tomorrow will be a day off, in saying this, my day off will involve prep and paint of my alloy coolant and PS tanks with wrinkle paint (Jackie is in Sydney till Sunday so the home oven will get a run curing the paint....LOL)

      That's why I said it is a meaningless term. Because there is more than one meaning that people can apply to it. When we said "highflow", that is exactly what we mean, and exactly what is done. In a highflow, they take your housing and machine them out to take bigger wheels, have a better internal profile, etc etc, and fit a new core with the different/better/bigger wheels.
