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.

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
