R35 Sub Upgrade Kit

[AussieMark]

Hi Guys,

I'm guessing most of you read the US and/or UK forums as they tend to have more than the average 1 post per day on this forum lol.... Anyway that being the case you've probably seen the threads from the guy making the plug n play kits in the UK to upgrade the standard weak Bose subs??

I have to admit I was a little disappointed with the overall sound quality of the standard gear as I though it would have been quite good with the Bose system. Nissan seem to have made a real feature of the twin subs between the rear seats but then put piss-poor quality units in them making them really to be a joke imo.

I'm hoping that a quality sub will help out the bottom end and improve overall sound so I have put my name down and bought a kit. Andy, the guy who's making them is a great guy to deal with and was very happy to ship to Australia.

Anyway here's the thread (I'm guessing it's ok to link to??) http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/174137-dynamat-new-amp-sub-install.html

I'm expecting to receive mine very soon so happy to give first-hand feedback once it's installed if anyone's interested.

I'd be interested in your feedback on the upgrade. I agree, the OEM sound is crap.

The biggest issue with stock is the OEM sub box is ABS plastic... If it was moulded compressed board or even masonite, it would resonate so much better with the Bose subs..

That being said, I don't drive the hood with the ole Doof Doof thing happening trying to pick up chicks - I let the exhaust growl grab the attention instead

Looks like a great kit though. ^ as above, drop us some feedback once its all installed

That sound is more likely to scare off the chicks. Our cars don't exactly sound good. A v8 or a fazza sound good. GT-Rs and Evos sound crap.

All in the eye of the beholder. My wife loves the GTR sound (with Willall midpipe added)...

Keen to hear how this goes also.

Intakes, BOV's and midpipe best. Far from crap, Sounds tuff on full boost

[turboadam]

Let me clarify here.

I have a midpipe. I also had a titanium exhaust from the midpipe back. I sold the titanium midpipe back section as it was simply too loud and droned.

With or without either section it sounds crap in my opinion. The note (with any combination) is not pleasant to the ear.

I am not alone in this opinion, but everyone's opinion is valid.

AussieMark any progress on the upgraded sound system as above?

[AussieMark]

No, because I'm a lazy bastard. My next 2 weekends are pretty full but the one after that.....I can see a late night in my garage with some music and plenty of alcohol to keep the enthusiasm going. I hope I don't make a mess of things!

From all reports on the UK thread, they reckon it's very worthwhile. I will definitely report back here - give me 3 weeks....
