My New V35 Fibreglass Sub Box Install

[Nightcrawler]

Finally got around to properly installing everything this arvo and getting rid of my old sub box that took up half the boot. Please excuse the video sound - the sub does not really distort that much - the camera does not take great audio (and the front Soundstream splits are not quite as bright as they seem in the video either). The setup does sound good, and will sound better with some tuning and refining.

FYI I bought the sub-box and 8" JL Audio sub from a USA Ebay seller .... US$500 delivered to my door - a great price I think. Yes I am aware the Boss amp is a piece of junk, but I will get a decent amp later on - it will have to do for now.

Enjoy

haha so you figured out I was already a member .... yeah haven't made many posts though. I was going to do a full-on CarPC install in my R34, but lost interest. TBH I really don't have the time to go troll ANOTHER forum .... but I will call in from time to time

[mosoto]

Can't say I trawl there much these days. I go on to search for info & resolutions which the site is great for.

not bad. put a cover over that sub though. wouldnt want something flying into it at speed.

mosoto, not too many people on that forum anymore. I go in there opccasionally.

Hey Andrew,

Nice job! It's giving me a yerning for a bit more bass in the V36 I have a nice Alpine sub out of the R34 in the cupboard, has me thinking now.

10yrs old & 60,000 readers monthly, nope no-one goes there anymore

There's still quite a few "old" faces on there so to speak but as one would expect, quite a few new faces with all the same questions.

Sometimes gets a bit repetative but what forum doesn't hey?

I'm just waiting on a few remaining bits to get here and I can start getting my gear into the V35, looking forward to it too as it's going to be a K.A. system

[Chris Rogers]

mark,

yep thats the point I was getting at. (happy to give you another side to the story as well.)

in regard to forums - this one is not too bad at repetition. bit of organisation fixes most things like that. a good admin team helps too.

(sorry for the minor hijack andrew.)

how do u access the jack now? or have you moved it?

[Nightcrawler]

In the V35 coupe the jack and spare are in the centre of the car with a timber sheet covering it, which can still accessed with the sub box in (the timber panel does no go the whole width of the car - just the centre part). I folded the carpet under the sub box back to just under the edge of it so you can still lift up the timber sheet to reveal the spare and jack.

lookin good!

I used to have that same amp about 8 years ago now lol. it was actually half good until it tried to electrocute me and then blew up.

[GeNOS]

ah ok.. i have a sedan and the jack is in the side wall where your box is.

[dodes47]

Awesomest!

Beats having the sub flying around in the back as you make a turn . I saw a similar box on ebay usa but the postage killed my interest.

Although i think i asked an aussie seller on eBay once and he can make a custom sub enclosure for v35 for a decent price if we can get a group buy going.

I'll double check and let you guys know.

Pic1 masked up. 2 glassed. 3 deadener fitted. 4 covered. 5 amp wired up. 6 finished.

Anyone seen any bass, mid, tweeter sets? All I can find are splits.

Wow, that is a super freaking sweet custom install .... did you do it all yourself, or have a workshop do it? Vvnice!!!

[Wogboy]

Hey Andrew, Thanks, yeah made it myself, wife got a bit cranky cause I should have been working on a customer car but when you get the inspiration you have to go for it

Depends on your budget & ears!!!

If you are wanting 3way sets there are Hybrid Audio (HAT), Focal, Dynaudio, Rainbow, DLS, Morel, Hertz & seas who all produce 3way sets.
