Hi Guys,

I've played around with car stereo a fair bit but all my other installs have been with commies, with the center seat folding down to allow direct access to the car.

With the skyline im wondering, i could go the traditional route and just chuck a 12" in a box in the boot but with all the stuff in the back im wondering if it would be better to chuck a couple of 8" subs or maybe 2 10" (with some metal work) in the rear parcel shelf. They would probably be free air (unless i could get some trick boxes made up) but they would save space and fire directly into the cabin. I know subs don't need line of sight to get good sound but those metal panels can only quiet it down and i'd rather play to myself then to the neighbourhood....

Comments/opinions?

(edit) I know i will have to pump more power to them being free air but im happy to buy additional amp's to gain the boot space. More concerned with the bass output

Battery Relocation, and a pair of 8" subz will fit in neatly under the parcel shelf, however you have to consider the Hicas unit on the top right of the area.

But then you will need to relocated the battery, somewhere in the boot most likely. This occupying the same amount of space or similar to a sealed 12" box floating in your boot.

You just have to weigh up things, work out how far you want to go with the whole install.

Also a good thing to do before putting an enclosure under the parcel-shelf, would be to upgrade the Fuel Pump. Saves messing around later.

If you want drop me a pm, and come past my garage, and i can show you a few things?
