Hi,

on the weekend im installing my car audio stuff into my new R33. Now this is the first skyline ive owned and the boot isnt very big. i have a rear strut brace in the back to. My question is, what is behind the back boot panel? Is it hollow behing there? If i remove the panel will i be able to make the box sit further back so i dont take up so much boot space or is there something behind there? and i jus plan on working around my strut brace.

thanks

just pull the carpet foward and see 4 ya self..

there is battery on left / hicas unit / some fuses and yeh

only thing you could use the space for is mounting / hiding an amplifier to save space

If you are in sydney, then i suggest you go to marty.. Whos marty.. well the guy who posted above me lol (FHRX) hhehe..

Anyways if got two 10 inch subs, then you might have some trouble mounting them above the fuel pump..

You will be able to squeeze your amp in there tho!!

Or you can always take your space saver out and you gotyour self more room..

I bought a Jaycar 4ch 100wrms amp to replace my bigger amp, because it fits perfectly in there!

Running one 12" sub in a box on the right-hand side of the boot. Well... the entire right-hand side of the boot really! =-/

I got some info from the thread mentioned above and put my amp over the fuel tank and 12" Sub in the right rear corner, fibreglassed up a seald box for it. Didn't come up too bad and haven't lost much space.

I don't have any pics, but i have a two amps mounted in that space. I have my 12" Sub in a separate box in the boot... lol i stapled Velcro onto the bottom of the box and it just sticks to the carpet in the boot (which is glues + stapled to the board thing that covers the space-saver) and stops it sliding around.

      I'll snap up some photos when I'm back home, in the office today meeting my "in the office" quota. Have 2x Teams calls scheduled in, office culture they reckon.   I've never owned a proper off the shelf sub, I've always made or modified broken ones with Jaycar plate amps and/or car subwoofer drivers. The current (and broken) subwoofer has a proper home driver in it, Dayton driver, thos one https://www.daytonaudio.com/product/118/rss265hf-4-10-reference-hf-subwoofer-4-ohm FS of 25Hz, which is low but not low enough. Yeah, I think they were brought out to the market to compete with SVS. I would love a SVS PB-3000 but they're not cheap, especially after their price hike. From reviews online, it does look like the Tonewinner D6000 would destroy and with good amount of money saved too.

      yeah, that happens too.  I'm really enjoying 4WDing at the moment, seen a few beautiful spots and want to go explore more of this enormous country.  The 370Z got a clutch LSD in it and a track day, great fun.  Getting the back end sorted out really rejuvenated my enthusiasm for driving it hard, the viscous one is poo especially in such a short and wide chassis.  The VLSD unpredictability was more benign in a long and skinny Skyline.

      With my pre/power I use a remote trigger cable(3.5mm jack each end). I turn tv on, it turns both on via ARC. Or, just the pre with the remote or its streaming software, turns on both. Not that difficult at all. Obviously,  you would also want to actually update/upgrade over other factors in your life(bills, family, other hobbies, etc)

      Yeah, nightfall was very "meh". And I'm crap at pvp, so feels like everyone has cheats(it's just my lack of skill). Final shape has been pretty good. New raid and dungeon are pretty good. If you want to give it a go, probably wait until it's on sale. But, as usual, most of it feels very familiar.

      This morning was Kingswood's Microscopic Wars. It is the album's 10 year anniversary this year and we went to see them play the whole album as a special show a couple of months back. Was pretty spectacular.
