WOW!! I just filtched your idea for securing the subs to the floor.

Good job man. Very clean install.

Your first?

EIDT: - OK I just read your post again - excellent first job. My positive feedback would be to add more colour and a range of different coverings for the boxes, but don't go overboard. Flames and shit (is that too rice though?).

yer spaire tire is gone... Been meaning to get a can of tyre slime or something... i know its not the best but hey its better then having nothing...

Yer as i said im redoing the whole design in the quest for more DB plus a more practicle design so i can pull the whole system out quicker and easier.... Had to rip off all the vinal to get it out as it was done from one side to the other... The new design will for of be the say lay out but the boxes will be done sepperate from the floor... Was planning on doing the boxes black again but have the floor in orange to break it up a bit and also going to hide the big amp.... Havent really done anything yet as ive been flat out with work but im off work not due to being sick so i think ill start it again now......

Will keep new pics posted and anything else i do :D

well it is noticable in the weight... When i pulled it all out it was so much better feeling.... SO saying that now that im re doing it all my plan is to cut down as much weight as possible with the new install... Started it this morning and hopefully will do afair bit tomorrow as im not working all day so yer free time at last...

Hey...

Nah for the amps i got some 4G power wire from the battery and ran that into a distribusion block which puts out 3 8 gauge wires to each amp..I run 3 seperate fuses for each but its a bit messy so ive ordered in a fused distribusion block so its all in one....

Update is ive got the install all in again... I have a car show this weekend im going in the middle class for SPL. I am going tomorrow to see Image Car Electronics and getting a final tune and DB read out.... I have made a few changes just for the show making a devider between the subs so they dont cancel each other out as well as making a kind of chamber for the subs to direct the sound into the car.... Taken out my 6X9s so i have ports into the car and all in the tuning now... Am aiming for 140db but will be a fair bit to ask but i guess time will tell...

Ok the show was today....just thrown the boxes in and made a port passage for the subs to be directed into the car... after a tune the other day i pulled 135.1db...... the next day went back to try for more, first just tried the install how it was and was only getting about 125db or so and was like WTF is going on..... tried moving the boxes around and playing around with everything with no luck.... Ended up susing out the amp and i blew channed 3 and 4 on my amp so that was VERY unfortunate the night b4 the show.... Luckly my mate was borrowing a higher powered amp from our other mate so he lent me his 4channel shnider... Hooked it all up again and did 135.1db again..

Show today i pulled out the back seat to get more pressure into the cabin... First run did 135.1 again so was playing around with it again using the heater, AC, just testing things, in the end i got a little more and finished with 135.6db and took 2nd place in my class which im heaps happy with...

So yer starting all over again with new boxes which will be ported etc and will be getting a bigger amp, rewiring everything, and soon a new JVC head deck.... Aiming for 140DB if i can but yer its not the easiest without a hatch back...

Ill get a pic of the dodgy install for the show....

hey mate, good effort on your install.

yeh i was gonna say, with your sund facing towrds each other gonna be outta phase (fully cancel each other out)

if you dont want a massive wall inbetween your subs (would completely ruin the look) trying only haveing one of the subs reversed, this should help greatly the phasing issue.

I also wanted to ask, what do you do if you get a flat tyre. I am still trying to think of an awesome boot install which allows me to still access my spare tyre.

its pretty hard an a 33 coz the boot is pretty small..... my mate just got his boot install done in his lancer and is able to pull the floor out easily and the tyre is under there...

I currently dont have a tyre but yer i would like to work something out...

Going up to Image Car Electronics in Nowra some time this week and going to get him to design my boot for me....

    • Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

    • Slimline sub on the rear parcel shelf is doable. Pioneer TS-WX140DA is only 70mm high.   
    • People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.
    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
