just wondering is it posible to fit 2x 15 inch subs in the boot of an r33 (in a sealed box, mounted behind the seat) how big would the box have to be? would i still have enough room left in my boot? i want the box hard up against the back seat with the subs facing rear of car, will i have to move the battery? will the vibrations effect the battery?

thanks in advance for the help.

I have one 15" sub in my boot in a vented box... to get maximum sound outa it it needs around a 100ltr box which fills my boot completely not a skeric of room left... the problem with R33's is the shape of the boot and the opening from the fron tof the boot to the top seal is very short distance so its hard to get a box in there. Other problem is its hard to make a box where the sub faces towards the boot which is what u want becuase of this limited space. I am in the process however of workin gout how i can fit another 15 in there, i'll let ya kno when i done it how it goes :P

There is a fair bit of space, but I'd say you'd have to cut into your tyre well (hmmmm!) to get the clearance or have a false floor. When my sub comes I might try and mount it there... although when I think about it your not going to be able to get a sub-box setup using that method or are you??

Id be really grateful if anyone can provide more info on this. Iv got a 15 in my existing motor (R30 hatch) and am getting my new 33 in a few days. I want to mount the speak facing the boot, vertically if possible, as this has given me a really good result in my current car.

I will also be looking into getting a second amp and a 10 in the near future. the fifteen is perfect for the tunes I listen to, bt there's a hole in my bass response at about 130Hz. I want to mount the subs facing the back of the boot with the amps on a rack flusk with the tyre well.

any advice on the depth etc of the r33 boot would be gratefully appreciated.

    • The values for HID colour are also defined ~ see https://www.legislation.gov.au/F2006L02732/latest/text  ~ goto section 3.9 onwards ....
    • So, if the headlights' cutoff behaviour (angles, heights, etc) are not as per 6.2.6.1.1 without automatic levelling, then you have to have to have automatic** levelling. Also, if the headlight does not have the required markings, then neither automatic nor manual adjusters are going to be acceptable. That's because the base headlight itself does not meet the minimum requirement (which is the marking). ** with the option of manual levelling, if the headlight otherwise meets the same requirements as for the automatic case AND can be set to the "base" alignment at the headlight itself. So that's an additional requirement for the manual case. So, provided that the marking is on the headlight and there is a local manual adjustment back to "base" on the headlight, then yes, you could argue that they are code compliant. But if you are missing any single one of these things, then they are not. And unlike certain other standards that I work with, there does not seem to be scope to prepare a "fitness for purpose" report. Well, I guess there actually is. You might engage an automotive engineer to write a report stating that the lights meet the performance requirements of the standard even if they are missing, for example, the markings.  
    • Vertical orientation   6.2.6.1.1. The initial downward inclination of the cut off of the dipped-beam to be set in the unladen vehicle state with one person in the driver's seat shall be specified within an accuracy of 0.1 per cent by the manufacturer and indicated in a clearly legible and indelible manner on each vehicle close to either headlamp or the manufacturer's plate by the symbol shown in Annex 7.   The value of this indicated downward inclination shall be defined in accordance with paragraph 6.2.6.1.2.   6.2.6.1.2. Depending on the mounting height in metres (h) of the lower edge of the apparent surface in the direction of the reference axis of the dipped beam headlamp, measured on the unladen vehicles, the vertical inclination of the cut off of the dipped- beam shall, under all the static conditions of Annex 5, remain between the following limits and the initial aiming shall have the following values:   h < 0.8   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   0.8 < h < 1.0   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   Or, at the discretion of the manufacturer,   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The application for the vehicle type approval shall, in this case, contain information as to which of the two alternatives is to be used.   h > 1.0   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The above limits and the initial aiming values are summarized in the diagram below.   For category N3G (off-road) vehicles where the headlamps exceed a height of 1,200 mm, the limits for the vertical inclination of the cut-off shall be between: -1.5 per cent and -3.5 per cent.   The initial aim shall be set between: -2 per cent and -2.5 per cent.
