Hey guyz,

anyone know if it is possible to fit 2 10" subs in the boot?

i checked a few subs online that come with boxes and the measurements all look too big.

they are all about 38cm high and i dont think it will fit.

anyone managed to fit 2 subs in?

Pics?

Cheers.

I haven't been in the high end car stereo scene for about 10 years. But JL Audio used to make great subs. Dual 8ohm voice coils, wired in parallel drops the unit to 4 ohms. Then wire two of them in parallel for a 2 ohm box. Run if off a big alpine V12 amp.

jaycar amps have always proved themselves...

ive had dramas with jaycar woofers tho... all have let go of voice coils... without overpowering.

VDO dayton woofers and Jaycar amps were the best combination ive heard in a sedan.

whatever you do, make sure everything is power matched, and the box is tuned. cables can never be too thick in gauge.

ive got some oldschool basic box design programs i can throw on a disc if anyone is interested

Thanx for the reply guyz, appreciate it.

i currently have a soundstream stealth 700wrms @ 2ohm amp waiting to go in the boot and that is why i am finding it difficult to get subs to match.

maybe i will check out alberts.

You can do what I've go done (only one side though), a custom side mount box for both sides if you want two subs, but the subs is best to be ten inches (you might get away with twelve inches but less space) and you will have to remove or relocate your jack.

OK maybe someone can explain this ohm thing to me.

I have the following amp which is rated 700watts RMS at 2ohms and 1200watts RMS at 1 ohm

And i found the following sub that may fit in my boot. but it is 500watts RMS at 4 ohms.

Will this do? i am not after loud music, i just want clean bass at low levels and once in a high level.

Or this sub which is a 600 Watts RMS at 1 ohm.

Wow that looks awesome 81gSKy

How much would that cost? i am not good with tools.

I'm not either, best to order it from the States cause they already have them made from moulds, instead of some guy doing it for the first time fiddling around. It pretty much slots in, plug and play, have a look on eBay or other V35 or G35 related sites and forums. Last time I saw it was about $350 each side, there's some fibreglass work as well hence the price.

    • Ha ha, yeah, I've had one following me around in my parts boxes since about 2007 I believe. Just a little iddy bit hole drilled in the one I have to let it vent out once pressure was removed from the engine side. Still no idea what I'd put it on, ha ha.
    • Just read this... Just a little bit of a wild one! Do you think the driver was testing out a new feature/device for how to lose the cops in a high speed chase?   I also suspect, if the box has a road sweeper that does magnetic metal pick up, he does a LOT of work in the machining industry. Which is what most of that looked like, machining chips from a mill or lathe. And I bet they're RAZOR sharp! And from an environmental perspective they really do need to actually collect all of those little pieces too. I wonder how many people still cop flat tires over the coming months on that road?   As for insurance company, yeah, it'd be interesting to hear what they say to the owner. But realistically, he's right, that "It's his fault". In the way that, it was his truck that spilled it, so they need to clean it up. However, neither he, nor his insurance company may bear the end cost if they do an investigation and find out it was caused by someone elses negligence (And they know who)...
    • Yeah, no matter what bad things people can say about Julian from Autospeed, he at least was capable of thinking and his inclusion of a check/relief valve in the plumbing for the Audi boost controller, that I made a copy of and used for years**, completely eradicated that problem. **It's still lying on my workbench where I put it about, um, 18 years ago and have never found a home for it!
    • I didn't actually know this! I've seen photos of the H1, mainly outside shots, and they just look "different". I guess there'd be a few little changes like nicer rims, and probably the fact they have nicer looking paint with some depth and shine, which will make any vehicles body look different to the very flat colours of the defence force.   I've watched the guys on GHPC convert their Humvee to LS1, and they've done some really nice front shock upgrade. I'm waiting for the next video on it with the rear end done. I can't remember if they've already done it, or I dreamed it, but I believe they're also supercharging theres. They will be in the future doing proper long travel suspension too.   If you ditch out your big V8, as rubbish as it must be, send it to my place. I'll let the unreliable V8 motor and box be here. I just like V8s... So I'll find something to do with it... Even if that something is just taking up valuable space in the yard. I might have something Skyline I can send back in payment... Or even Ford Barra motors  (From memory you're in Canada yeah?) So you can then play with the legendary Aussie 4L version of an RB...  Except they don't have that distinctive random miss at idle like the RB25 does.
    • Or you mean the age old problem of early 2000's manual boost tees, where they never let the pressure out of the line between the boost tee, and the waste gate, so after your first trip on boost, the damn wastegate liked to stay open and be laggy on gear change?
