I have two of them in my boot in a sub box. They are shit hot and work very well. nice clear and deep bass. Played with both classic, dance, trance, house and grunge/rock. Use original CDs and mp3s. Great bass reprocussion on normal cds (of course) and sounds very clear and crisp. This is in my r33 skyline. Previous subs were 2 x clarion 10" and they were good (they were ported however in a vl to the parcel shelf) but the apline type-s are shit hot, much better than the clarions

its hooked to a monbloc amp and an alpine cda9807 head unit can give full specs if you want and more photos if you like. very good subs i got them on special

I have got a single Alpine SWS-1241 in my car... Its the double drive version, which i think kicks a little more.

Great for what i want it for, and in conjunction with a powerful monoblock kicks some good bass for a variety of different styles of music. You'd probably want 2 of them like paulR has for even better kick.

I think i paid about $160+postage for 1x about 12 months ago (near new). I think they were only about $220 each new 12 months ago though so not sure whether its any bargain or not you're getting :D

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
