Hey all just thought i'd share my boot install just finished last week

its a 12" DLS Free Air Subwoofer with DLS X-Program Mono Amp and a DLS X-Program 2 Channel Amp running my front splits :)

looks better now Cara, with two amps..lol, and great choice of equipment!!!.

hope you sorted the free air sub out, it was too loose in the sound off a few weeks ago. the baffle isnt right and needs to be sealed up better to control of the cone? a few simple and cheap tricks to make the woofer think it has a bigger box(tire well) and make it sound smoother hit harder??

Chris Rodgers and I are old installers ..lol, not just opening my mouth to waffle on.. so if you need help , you have my phone number. otherwise it looks nice much better then the old box hey!!! :)

defenantly looks better!

I would never go free air,takes a very special kind of woofer to cope with it and give good results.

In my opinion you will get much much better results even if the woofer is in a small sealed enclosure , such as the spare tyre well and use there tricks that us installers know to fool the woofer into acting like its in a slightly larger enclosure then what its really in.

EDIT: dam you cara lol,u got in before i did haha. Last year i organised the term lab setup to be there for the autobarn store i was working for at the time. i dont know if they have organised it again this year but i can cirtanly find out for you.

can I offer some visual tips Cara, dont shoot me for this...lol but the mounting tabs/screw heads on the amps are ugly, and should be mounted under the amp or a floating look to enhance the lighting for shows, a persplex mount under the amps to grab the light from the LED's above ?

sorry I know you just had it done... :) it still looks better by a 1000%

Cara is that a port with the mesh on it? that would be the problem or part of it. for the sub flutter.

can I ask why they didnt use a sealed box sub ? and sealed up the spare tire well?

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)

      Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T 1999

      For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.

      Troubleshooting - motor wont turn over

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...
