all my speakers are mounted behind the doors in their factory spots, except for the tweeter which is flush mounted further up the door.

Front Doors have Dynamat in them to make them a bit more solid.

Amp is located behind the rear passenger seat as its the only place big enough to be able to mount it.

Note for all: 0 guage wiring is a head f*k to get through the firewall!!

This is my sub box i built from scratch.

I can't get the hosted images into the post for some reason, the link isn't showing in the gallery

welcome mate :)

my stereo install was going ahead when i bought the car 12 months ago but ive had that many dramas ive left it as it aint important, currently just have 2 x 10' subs in a box with 2 alpine v12 amps mounted onto the box, and thats about it.

plan is to make a full rear setup with fake panels and some fancy lighting etc :D

if you need the rear useable I would suggest a false floor and a sub in the wheel well. Invert the tyre and you should be able to make the box removeable so you can keep the tyre in place. how good are you with wood work?

cablling IS NOT a problem in these. remove the drivers inner guard and there is a decent sized grommet there. (same as a 34 ,33 and 32.)

I'll be putting a stealth system in mine, and the only obvious part will hopefully be just the screen/dvd head unit. Speakers will go in the factory locations, but I noticed that when I removed the covers for the (factory) tweeters in the A-pillar, that there wasn't very much room behind it. Hopefully this won't be a problem...

I will be putting a sub in but hopefully working with the installer on a design that doesn't make it obvious that there is a sub sitting there in the boot, for those times when the boot is opened and/or the luggage cover is rolled back or removed. Might try and make it so that it fires inwards towards the rear strut tower well at an angle to give it some loading...

im pretty good with making up custom installs i made a custom setup in my old car which pulled 147dB and will be using all that gear in the stagea. currently the install is stealth with splits in the front and rear doors.

you shouldn't have a problem mounting new splits in the front a pillar i pulled the a pillar cover out and fibreglassed them up from the inside so i could remount them using the kenwood covers so they could still remain flush mounted.

Is that your Stagea in your avatar? :)

I'm looking at putting 2 * 12" Subs in the back with an 800w Monoblock amp - amp will be mounted in that compartment on the side...sk's idea ;) Easily removable for when I need the space ;) Up front will be Pioneeer Kevlar Splits and coaxial in the back...Should be sweet :D

Cheers,

Chris

I'll be doing the same, splits in the front and co-axials in the back, but I'm not sure if I'll use a 10" or a 12" sub. If I can get away with a 10", then that's the way I'll go...

I think I'd like to set up the sub box on one side of the boot, not along the back seats like Terminal's ones. Time (and money) will tell what path I eventually take, though.

Check out this thread...

Ok, I found on Nissan Silvia, a pair of Pioneer 250w Kevlar splits for $279 - is that a good buy? :DSplits

Most probably getting this headunit Headunit

Getting a very good deal of a mate of mine ;) 50 Watts x 4

Probably just one of these....Im poor :D 1000w Sub

PION%20306CBOX%20Sub.jpg

One of these amps.....not new though ;) Another good deal 600 Watts x 1@ 4 ohm load 1,000 Watts x 1 @ 2 ohm loadAmp

I havnt figured out anything for the rear yet.....bugger it. My question is, do I have to run the splits of an amp? :D Alot of my mates dont, just wondering whether it is really worth doing?

Cheers,

Chris

Yeah those kevlar splits are exactly what i have. $279 is an awesome price for them too.

My mate had the amp for about a year and wasn't using it, so he threw it my way and said happy birthday (it wasn't my birthday) and so i socred a 5 channel V12 amp

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
