My Boot In My 32 Gtr

[Jez13]

funny some one can say that you will handle worse. I remember in my FD I was struggling to go around corners becuase my rear was too light and couldnt grip well. I put a sub and an amp in and it handled heaps better with the weight over the rear tyres. Looks better than sand bags too lol. And even if your setup is 50kg+, whats that going to impact on a 400awkw car? 0.002 quater mile difference?

Everyones car represents who they are and what they like. Its like the clothes you wear, dont listen to anyone else that gives you shite about what you choose to do. Its not even worth commenting back to them.

thats a pretty gay install. those speaker pods on your parcel shelf are a total abortion.

Wow havnt been on here for a while, can't beleve your still on here talking shit. In your infinate wisdom did it not pop into your head that he may be glassing these pods?

You know what i love about morons like yourself? You're either too damn stupid, or too lazy to type complete words instead of typing like a 13 year old trying to score with a hot chick on a chat room. Instead of sounding like a complete retard, you could have written a coherent response, rather than just rolling your face across the keyboard and hoping a sentence comes out afterwards.

If you knew anything about car audio, you'd know that no matter what you do, the port on that box will make that woofer very peaky and have limited response. I doubt you've checked the phase plot or graphed the frequency response, being that you need more than a peanut sized brain to do so. Your parcel shelf that you've built is far too thick to sit flush against the rear window, and as for your choice of mounting, thats a lot of effort for no gain in SQ and a really ugly way to obscure your vision. For the record, i have sold hundreds of custom boot fit outs, i know what looks good in a car and what looks like crap. I've seen many home jobs and yours is nothing flash.

If you knew anything about cars, you'd also realise what others have pointed out. It will weigh a lot, and make your car handle like a bag of shit, as well as ruining your rear shocks and other suspension components.

So mate, don't paste a thread on a forum expecting everyone to kiss your arse over your half done job, when generally, people on this forum would probably consider what you've done the complete opposite to what they consider to be a performance enhancing modification. If you already consider your job to be good, then why seek approval on a forum? You're only trying to stroke your ego (and yourself) by posting and seeking everyone's approval. The mark of real confidence, is building something and not bragging about it to everyone, and being happy in your own work. So you can head down to the local macca's car park and pick up some 15 year old wheel biters with your fully sick install, but prepared to get laughed at by anyone who has any idea about skylines or car audio.

I'll sum it up for you in simple to understand terms, so theres no confusion on your end.

-Will sound bad

-Looks bad (currently)

-Makes bad handling

-Makes the car Slower

If thats too much for you to grasp, just go eat a dick.

Another great example of your imaturity. You remind me of the kids that walk into autobarn thinking there shit hot and know the biz. You dont know shit, If you dont like this guys install there dont look at it or comment on it. you got your point across in your first post.

This guys install is very decent for a first attempt. sure there are alot of things that could be improved on but how do you think people learn? At the end of the day its HIS car and HIS money, No need to bag him out for giving it ago.

[Superbike81]

Any updates on this? Would like to see it all carpeted up and complete.

I love all the people who say "it will handle worse and be slower!" then ask those people how much money they make every year from winning races with their amazing handling lightweight stripped out GTR's.

I will be doing something similar, except I will be using a IDMAX 12" sub in the spare tire well, and it will all be made from fiberglass with a MDF frame to save some of that extra weight.

Good job!

[Lucaas]

this is my boot to date i been workin on in my gtr hope u like

Nice boot man. Just gonna make your GTR way more heavier then it is already. Will look really nice with carpet and hope you dont need your spare any time soon....if you've got a spare.

WOW this is a awesome setup, ive been looking everwhere for ages to see who has a very nice boot install in a 32, youve done well to fit it all seeing how theres not much room to start with, atm im trying to make my rockford fosgate t2 to fit seeing how they need a giant box, but good work mate looks f@#king sick.

[GUN_METAL_GTR32]

travis bro

u got any progress pics for me mate

i love stereos man the bigger the better, in my old supra i had 4 10inch clarions and in mt current 34 i have a rather large stereo.

whats the point of cruising with out the beats man.

gl with the project bro.

[blk94r33]

I have read this post from start to finish and looked at the pics.

And I have a different point of view.

This guy is not a pro. Nor is he claiming to be.

From what I gather he is some guy in a shed working on his car. Now c'mon fella's who doesnt enjoy that?

In the shed, a beer, maybe a mate or two and the missus in the house talking about tupperware.. Well you get the picture..

This is a forum for car enthusiasts of all differing skill levels.

Some are backyards. Some are industry professionals.

But. We all share one passion - Cars. And in this case Skylines.

So. how about as industry professionals we give the guy some useful advice rather than telling him how crap he is and just turning him off our advice.

Who knows in the future he may want to know something and due to this experience wont bother asking here.

I know after quite a few years installing that professional boots are better. Sure. thats why we are professionals. But, heres a question for you - How good was your first boot instal. The one you did in your shed before you pursued a career in car audio?

I am pretty sure I can guarantee that at the time you did it you would have thought you were great. But as we all know after doing 100 or more boot installs the speed, skill level and creativity improoves no end.

So. I'm asking you industry pro's to provide this guy some useful advice that he can learn and use to get better while working on his pride and joy in the back shed.

Some of the things that I would say in a constructive way are:

: use a round tip router on the edges of some of the wood to remove the hard edges

: use thinner (even 3mm) wood for pieces that are purely decorative and have no structural purpose

: Ensure that when its is fully installed you still have access to cabling incase something goes wrong

: make sure the box is correectly sealed or internal fiberglassed and of the right volume

so theres 4 to start with.

who else wants to offer some non abusive helpful advice to a fellow car lover?

We dont have to teach him every single in and out behind the scenes piece of knowledge he might need. But it isnt gonna hurt to at least point this guy in the right direction.

^+1 Well put.

And Travis32, good work with your install mate, you'll be quite pleased with it once it's carpeted and all cleaned up.

[Juz]

It Looks Awsome! Great job, f**k the haters man! I'd be over the moon if I could make something like that, But i'm retarted

[SL33K]

Nice Install man. Must be sounding Awsome.

Maybe some blue lighting too.

Post progress pics mate.

So far me likey!

Ignore the boring sad jealous comments from some of this shits on ere.

I am also surprise to see some people on Sau Being negative.

SAU should install an Asshole blocker on the server.

[Travis32]

hey everyone thanks for your comments n positive feed back since the last pics i have modified the box for a mate n fitted 2 reverse mount 12s n a different port for it pics will be shown below sounds good even for a home job lol

Ive literally just started making a new customs enclosure for my boot so it will be made from curvey fibreglass n mdf with a nice sealed/vented fuel system setup under parcel tray but i will put up progress pics as i go also up the front i have a set of 6.5inch pioneer splits in back parcel tray pioneer 6" coaxils n a top end 7inch dvd player fold out head unit but thanks again everyone i really appreciate ur support

P.S the following pics arent finished n my mate will have the job of sealing it up etc

[Travis32]

it looks abit dodgy yes i know but its not my problem anymore lol also the previous setup sounds unreall gains not even turned up n the volume on like 15 a lady from 2 doors down said shit was fallen off her shelves in her laundry so thats gotta be good right?

the new install will be awesome as alot of research n planning has been down ill keep ya posted tho

[GTRPowa]
