hay guys iam getting my car soon

a 180sx and i wanted to know if i could fit a 12" sub box in there with also an alpine V12 Amp 5 channel.

the thing iam worried about is that the Car battary has been moved from the engine bay to the back of the boot. rason . becuase the intercooler piping is to big and battary had to be moved.

wanted to know if i could fit all the preety easily in the boot??

also wanted to ask will the battary make a difference in the sound production the sub and the rest of the car would give if the amp was in the boot =)

if any one has any pics of there sub in there 180sx boot let me know.

there are also rear strut bars which might make it worse hehe =)

also wanted to ask if any one knows where i can get the carpet for a 180sx boot hehe =)

Don't know anything 'bout 180's, but CAN tell you that having battery in the boot is a BIG plus as far as wiring goes.

Means you can run a shorter fatter cable (like 4G or even bigger) straight from the battery which will ensure better current flow which means the amp can work to it's full capacity. Shore beats trying to run 4 or 5 mtrs of 8G or 4G from the front, through the firewall and under the carpet to the amps.

Also means that the power cable will not create interference because it will not run alongside your speaker cable.

Remember with cable, particularly for the +12V to amps, the bigger - the shorter - the better, period.

    • haha don't worry I'm sue you've got more fun ahead buying a 30 year old turbo car....but at least you are in the right place to ask
    • some days eh? The keyless entry and interior light on/off with the key will be controlled by the Body Control Module, but I'm not certain where that is or what it looks like (you might get lucky with a search to get a part#, which could be printed on it). I'd start at the A pillar/ Under dash/kick panel on the driver's side
    • It might be hit and miss, but Nissan Genuine Parts and Pitworks are not the same thing, although both are available from Nissan Dealers with Nissan Part Numbers. Nissan Genuine Parts are the OEM stuff, Pitworks are their attempt to get people back from generic parts makers
    • I did end up getting it sorted, as GTSBoy said, there was a corroded connection and wire that needed to be replaced. I ended up taking out the light assembly, giving everything a good clean and re-soldered the old joints, and it came out good.
    • Wow, thanks for your help guys 🙏. I really appreciate it. Thanks @Rezz, if i fail finding any new or used, full or partial set of original Stage carpets i will come back to you for sure 😉 Explenation is right there, i just missed it 🤦‍♂️. Thanks for pointing out. @soviet_merlin in the meantime, I received a reply from nengun, and i quote: "Thanks for your message and interest in Nengun. KG4900 is for the full set of floor mats, while KG4911 is only the Driver's Floor Mat. FR, RH means Front Right Hand Side. All the Full Set options are now discontinued. However, the Driver's Floor Mat options are still available according to the latest information available to us. We do not know what the differences would be, but if you only want the one mat, we can certainly see what we can find out for you". Interesting. It seems they still have some "new old stock" that Duncan mentioned 🤔. I wonder if they can provide any photos......And i also just realized that amayama have G4900 sets. I'm tempted too.
