Hey I have a blaupunkt 550watt mono block amp and a 1000w clarion sub and was wondering if it will be worth it to get a second 1000w clarion sub and wire it up to the same sub. Will I get a better sound or will it just take the power from the first sub? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

it would help to know specifics......... what amp? rms/impedance values even? also what impedance are your subs?, are they dual voice coil? are they designed for sealed enclosures or vented?

as for will it sound better with two........there are a number of variables, like impedance values, whether its dual voice coil or not, dvc on two subs depending upon impedance can be wired/configured to give you a higher or lower impedance at your amp. if your amp is 1ohm stable why wouldnt you want to run it at that, generally 1 or 2 ohm will give you more power, yes run hotter, but safely all day.

Also dependent on whether a muppet built your sub box or not. f**k 9/12mm ply covered in thick carpet. 18mm mdf is needed!!! Also very dependent on whether its been designed to the correct volume. Smaller volumes (for sealed enclosures) will give punchy tight bass, larger volumes for deeper. If its for vented subs, thats a whole different game when you can play around with vent dimensions and tune the setup to have a higher output at a specific frequency. There is an optimal range for every loudspeaker.

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
