So, has any one else done this?

these were done to the car before i got it. Had some Cheap ass Sony 110W 2 way speakers in there.

Replaced them with some Alpine type s about 6 months ago. When i pulled them out the hack job was poor at best...

Looks like they used tin snips and a hammer to get enough room. Had the speakers screwed straight to the panel.

Disconnected the factory rear speakers and installed a stupidly large twin 15"sub box which you had to slam the boot to get it to close..
( I took that out when i got home. it weighed 65kg )

I connected the factory rears up and they worked fine.

So all in all the guy was stupid.


I've kept it as it was and The quality is fairly good, minimal vibration, but a pain in the ass if you ever take any one in the rear etc. :no:

Considered taking them out, replacing the panels etc. But the damage to the body is already there so may as well use it.


Not really any questions here, just more of a general, Check out this crap.

If you do have any suggestions etc I'd like to hear it.



( I apparently dont have any better photo's showing it with the speakers in.... )

Hi I am glad that no one did that to my car, someone had installed a large amp & Bass speakers that took up 1/2 the boot space.

Luckily it was easy to remove, & reset back to original.

Yes i have done this to a previous 34 , used Speaker spacers ,as no one sat in the back . We put Rockford Prime 6x9 running off the Headunit . very punchy sound ,Usually you go to a 6x9 from a 6 if you want more punch over clarity and dont want a sub . Going 6 x9 in the back and a sub in the boot ??? not really cricket .

They fit nicely by the looks of it. Might grab some new rear trims and swap mine over..

Couldn't afford rockfords at the time

: (

Between the subs and the 6x9s

The bass was unbelievable. No clarity at all, it was horrible.

I tried mucking around with the amp setting and head unit setting etc. Couldn't get it any better...

Parcel tray is a good place to put them also ,you may need to add some sound deadening to boot ,Alpine Type S components are dearer than Rockford Prime components .The Type s should give good clarity if you tune them a bit ?.Put all your Headunit setting in the middle and back the gains off the amp as a starting point .

.. I got rid of the subs and his 6x9s.

I got these Alpines for cheap as because they were the last set.

I have no issues now, got it all set up perfect .

There was no helping what was in it.

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
