was looking at autobarn today and they sell these carpeted 6x9 speaker boxes that sit on your rear parcel tray.... sorta the same as a sub box but alot smaller....

they are around $70 a pair and im thinking i probably could make some cheaper then that....

would anyone have any measurmants and instructions on how to make a good style of box.... when sat in properly the speaker sorta angles up towards the roof a bit.....

any help/tips would be greatly appreciated.....

:(

no point in low passing 6x9's if you have a sub...mine atm are running normal (no high/low pass) along with my sub, sounds pretty good. with my new splits up the front it sounds a hell of a lot better, but my rear speakers are nothing special.

i didnt know that 6x9's were made like subs, by that i mean to run in sealed/free air...can you port/bandpass them aswell for something different?

I'll say it again; the acoustic suspension of 'most' 6x9s is not designed to run in sealed enclosures. The result is that you will not attain optimum bass at best and you'll damage the speaker at worst. :P

On the flipside (once they're installed correctly) and for those of you doubting the bass output of 6x9s, remember the bottom (main) cone is 6x9". That is only marginally less surface area than an 8" subwoofer so they can thump quite hard..

Yea my first system i had 6X9's amped in the rear parcell shelf with the low pass filter and running around 50hz at the time and they produced some pretty good bass for speakers that were $100. But you can't go past a sub for convential bass and its a lot tighter, easier to tune and better quality sound is my 2cents. Good set of splits tuned right and a sub in the rear, no real need for rear speakers is there. The sound of them is shooting up and from behind you, your ears face forward when your in the car (unless there is something we dont all know about :wassup: ) so unless you were to fade them to the front more and just run them as a high pass i can't really see the need for them.

But in saying that you do what suits you and what you like the sound of, its your system and thats what counts at the end of the day. :P

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
