take out the spare wheel, rip out the plastic covering, fibreglass 1 sub in each corner of boot, make up a amp rack in the middle, done :D.

I have designs for a 12" side install sealed sub box too.

it can b done if u know what your doin, if any of u guys went 2 autosalon final battle 04 there was a silver r33 with full jl audio install 2x 12'' subs in the corners and 2 amps down the centre all fibreglassed and sprayed in r34 blue. this r33 is my own car and ill try get some pics up 4 u guys

why 1 sub per amp?

2 subs per amp better... lower impedance more crunk foe ya system...

use 2 x 2ohm subs (Assuming they are Dual Voice Coils), run your monoblock at 1ohm.. a good 1kw RMS of power... considering the monoblock does 1 ohm stable...

thats more power than 2 subs running off 2 amps

Please do

it has a normal size one, like u would find in the engine bay of an commodore for example, also with rca'z what length is reccomended, i was thinking something about 12ft/4m is this right???

im running 4 gauge wiring into a distro block then thats going to each amp 1 monoblock and 1 4ch

system is 2 audiobahn 12z, kenwood 9152d monoblock, clarion 4ch, alpine type s splits for front and rear, and a pioneer audiovisual headunit

thanks

You can fit 'em in, but I would recomend to dump em for some 6.5 or whatever the factory size is as 6x9's are a good comprimise for getting bass without wanting a sub. You have 2 subs so I wouldn't worry about trying to fit 6x9's. If you do however you may need to bend/cut the parcel tray, which I definatley wouldn't recomend.

I'd runn 4g for each amp to a distro block, then 2 or 1g to the battery. Looks like you'll be getting some juice going into your system. Don't forget to fuse it correctly as close to the battery as possible.

ok, yeah ill prob go get a length of it and do that, as my amps are gonna be sitting on the sides of the boot

after spending a few hours working out measurements and all that stuff for my sub boxes, ive marked out everything in my boot, im gonna be making my sub boxes up next week as im going for my ps on monday so i wanna practice as much as possible

ill post pics up once the boot is carpeted

thanks

    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
    • And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.
    • No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
