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 .

  • Like 1

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.

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
