i know i know, i tired to search but when i typed in "r33 sub" so much random shit came up it caved my head in.

so just quickly, generaly speaking, what is the biggest sub you can fit into the boot of an r33?

im thinking about getting a half decent 10 inch in a sealed box, would this thing be alright?

u can probably fit 2 15" subs, but u wont have a boot.

It depends wat your looking for. If u want spl or sq. For sq, 10-12" sub in sealed box would be most responsive. Whereas for spl, 12-15" ported is the way to go. Of course u can have a ported box thats still good in sq. It depends wat woofer your getting and wat its reocmmended box size is

Get some DD"s

yar, im thinking if i get a large sub them everything in my car will rattle like the spoiler and so on.

so sound quality rather then SPL would be the better option.

if anyone has a single sealed 10-12 in their boot could you please post a pic so i can sus out how much room they take up. =) cheers

Try dual 18" kicker subs .. if you want the biggest .. if your looking at any dance music will sound like shit tho!

bigger sub runs slower and ussually out of time .. depends on sub tho but 12" is best .. Just buy a top of the line sub .. I.E JL W7 or Fusion NV series

BIG BASS

not everyone has a grand to spend on a sub...

i tried to design a box for 2 15 inch speakers, but the slot port box was bigger then the boot, would have had to be made IN the boot, and would need to be disassembled to get it out... not to mention i couldnt get to the battery... (damn my fancy design and high standards :unsure:)

2 12's seem to be the go in skylines... ive noticed with skylines too most of the audio stays inside the car :D

There are a few installs in this thread

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...=159050&hl=

I listened to a 10" and 12" sub in the audio store and the 12" had a fair bit more bass and was only about $10 more or something like that so made my decision easy.

Whos sub cost $1000? mine cost me $300 :) NEW :thumbsup::):P

Why not one 12" and two 10" :D check out caraudioaustralia.com.au for cheap second handers :D

if you can find me 2 12" W7's for $300 each, i will personally give you $100 for doing it...

2x10" JL's for me.

They're not actually in the box here, but they juuusssssst fit up on the section next to the battery. I'll take more detailed/useful pics if You want. I can get the space saver in&out no probs, but I've gotta trim the bottom of the box to get an inflated full-sized tyre past.

I listen to a fair bit of rock & metal, so I really dig the tight, punchy bass from the 2x10's, plus they still push out plenty of SPL down low for hip-hop & Dance! - Volume is plentiful, with only 50Wrms per sub ! ! ! ! :kiss:

oh, word: if U mount a sub box under the parcel shelf, it CANNOT touch the HICAS box, which is slung under there.

probly one of the biggest missconceptions in car audio. group delay has more to do with box design, physical weight of the cone would have basically inaudible effects, if driven off the same amp at same impedence/power etc

if you are only looking at 10" subs then there wont be a problem. Depending on how you mount it, you can go a lot bigger and fit multiple in. Depends if you want to go a box, or a custom install...either way you wont have much boot space left.

If you relocate the battery etc from behind the rear seat you can put a box in there to keep some boot space. That all seemed to hard for me, but the result is that I could fit a set of golf clubs in the boot it I wanted to and not much else.

Also to help with sound travel into the cabin, remove the metal plate behind the rear seat :P

Can't you just unbolt it, and move it if its in the way?

If You're comfortable that You know how HICAS works well enough, that You can relocate the control Box and not mess with the sensors in it, then by all means . . . . . knock yourself out Tiger ! !

Here's the work of art, that is My sub Box:

The big relief on top is to clear the HICAS Box, As U can see it's a TIGHT fit to get the 2x10" cones in, that box runs the entire height of the under-parcel-shelf area. It's 38 Litres, Which gives a flat response curve down to 70Hz, where it starts dropping away (like most sealed boxes do) to lose 3db at 45hz, & more below there. That's okay tho - I just give the 45hz boost on the Amp a lil' tweak to compensate. NoiCe ! !

Lol, I love it, i can imagine the strain, by the belted in parts on the back. I had to belt in a 15" under the parcel shelf of a VL.

Here's my mates boot, labor was a carton of piss as far as i know

Here's mine, gonna tidy it up a bit one day, the floor is all sunken, so prob make a fake floor and fit the subs closer to the walls using the same boxes, apparently right litreage. (doesn't look even, I'm a neat freak when it comes to that sorta shit.

    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
