What's a good place to stick a sub in a R33?

I have just bought an R33 and am getting my stereo gear put into it.

Overtime I have heard many different people have their own opinions on how to mount subs. Facing out up against the back seat, facing in up against the back seat, on one side at the boot entrance facing in and out on the sides etc....

I currently have my gear in my Astra and I have the sub facing into the car up against the entrance to the boot and get pretty good base from this. However in my Astra I leave my ski hatch open.

I noticed in the skyline that you can't fold the seat down and that the battery sits in a mid section between the boot and the back seat.

Has anyone mounted a sub in this mid section and moved the battery and fuses into the boot?

As far as putting the sub in the boot it's self does anyone have any idea on putting a port into the parcell shelf?

I have a Pioneer head deck a Coustic 4 ch amp and a 12" Kicker sub.

Thanks!:D

You might be able to move the battery to fit the sub behind the seats but there really isnt much room at all. A 10" will fit without too much trouble.

I've just got a pre-fab box in the boot with 2 10s. Couldn't be stuffed with the whole install thing in the end. Also I get to keep the boot space!

If your ever down Tuggeranong way during the week, stop into Audio Tech.

One of the blokes that work there has a white R33 and is doing a good install in his own car.

I think he was saying that he is going to put three 12" Boston's in the boot !!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
