i under stand that subs go in to enclosures and it is best to follow what the manufacture says when selecting or billing a enclosure

it is just what about 6x9's and 6" speakers what about them is it better to put them in a enclosure and if so should it be vented or sealed

i ask because i when to a super-cheap auto to get some lock-tight and i over heard a salesmen saying to somebody that it is best to put all speakers in enclosures

All speakers will perform better when in enclosures. Like speaker towers for surround sound systems. Just becomes a bit impractical mounting boxes in car doors so its usually just left without one. A few people have actually made them for the 6x9's in the rear as there is a bit more space.

Putting your speaker inside an enclosure can yield great results - I have played around with this before and you can hear the difference between boxes - I tried blindfold tests with a friend, he didn't believe me they were the same type of driver. At the very least, sound deadening is a must, if you can - box them. I prefer a sealed box for a bit tighter response, but if you want big bass, then vented is the way to go. It all depends on how far you are prepared to go to get the best sound out of your speakers - even a great speaker can sound rubbish if mounted poorly.

Not really

Most 6" and 6x9" car speakers are designed to run infinite baffle.

That means that a box of the correct size would be too big to use in a car.

It is however very important that the speaker is mounted so the front of the speaker is sealed from the back of the speaker so the soundwaves don't cancel out.

Use plenty of sound deadener eg. Dynamat on your doorskins and parcel shelf.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I would like more noise related info for my truly uneducated guess  Does it do it at idle or when revving, clutch engaged, and disengaged? Does it only do it when the car is moving? I've heard "similar" noises from a clutch pack that left the chat room, and CV joints that have chewed themselves out But as Matt said, how's the yokes, tailshaft and centre bearing going after their last little issue Fingers crossed it is something simple  Weird noises make me cringe

      R34 GTT idle problem

      One other question, is there a chance that changing the idle speed can lead you down a rabbit hole and is the reason the tuner didn't touch it? Reason I ask is because if that's the reason the tuner avoided it then I probably shouldn't be touching it lol.

      Pfft. As if I'd ever point a high pressure washer at my car.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The nature of my commute has changed. Way back then it was traffic lights all the way, for ~28km. It sucked. When they finally stitched the expressway together I could do a good 15+km of it at a steady 80-100 with no stopping. That alone has gotten me down to flat 10s. Prior to that it was mid-high 10s. I can't remember the delta that I saw when I got the idle down. It was only ~150 rpm, because the idle speed was never terrible, but for the delta in consumption to be noticeable it would have had to have been at least 0.2-0.3 L/100km - which is not to be sneezed at when it comes for absolute free. It's only about 50L per year, but that's ~$100. A few extra pizzas is always welcome. Note that I have a record of every tank of fuel that has ever gone through my car except for a handful put in by someone else, like my mechanic. I can show you the difference between stock RB20 and tuned RB20, stock RB5Neo and tuned, winter and summer fuel blends, winter and summer fuel blends when the ambient temperature is not appropriate for the blend, working O2 sensor, blown O2 sensor, boosting f**k out of it and frightened to boost it because it is pinging, and so on. OK, I probably can't do all that now with 100% clarity - but at the time when any of those things were in event, you could see it in the records. There's 25+ years of simple tank after tank records, so you have to look for landmarks to work out approximately how old any single record is. What's really important is the meta data and that lives in my head.
