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.

Cheers guyz.

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.

      Not a problem at all Lithium, I appreciate your help regardless. I've pulled a small part of a log where the target pressure was 28psi and it spiked to 36.4psi. I've only just begun using Data Log Viewer so if I'm sending this in the wrong format let me know.

      Sorry had a bit of a week and haven't had heaps of time to follow this, so apologies if I've missed something - any chance of showing a log with the rpm, turbo speed, MAP, and wgdc all in one view? Definitely an "interesting" problem, and while it's definitely worth noting that there was a similar issue with the twins I'd not completely put all bets on the root cause being the same thing.  Keep an open mind, follow the data.

      I built this engine approximately 12 years ago so my own head (brain) is a little grey on the exact hardware in the RB head, however what I recall is. Stock RB25 NEO TURBO Intake Camshaft HKS 260 degree Exhaust Camshaft (R34 GTR) RB25 NEO Turbo Springs  I ported/removed the exhaust stud humps found in the RB25 head so theres less turbulence but it wasn't ported/polished properly, just a hump removal. I've attached two pictures of the before and after to illustrate.     The ECU gets its boost reference from the nipple on the rear of the head on the intake side, behind the fuel rail. The wastegate gets its boost reference from a nipple on the cooler pipe immediately after the comp cover.  Could a decent pressure drop across the intercooler cause the wastegate to be seeing a higher PSI than what the ECU is seeing, and thus it can't control it accurately and quick enough?   We ran a line to the actuator and watched it open and close using an air compressor, while we didn't have a gauge on the line to see when it was cracking open, it was opening smoothly.  I just removed the gate now and even though the documentation says you need to open it in a vice due to preload (which I did), there wasn't any preload on the cap, which is something we noticed straight out of the box as well when new. This silver cap internally is threaded to the actuator rod that runs out the bottom of the straightgate. Not sure how I'm supposed to get this spring out to be frank.. Potentially but everyone else doesn't appear to have to stop at 500kw because of 6boosts design.  I would, but I think I'm getting to that point where if I'm going to do the head and make another 100kw, then I'm going to need a fancy gearbox and quite a few other things and 10k becomes 20k becomes 30k within a few months. I'm not necessarily sold on the idea just yet that the head is restrictive at 4000rpm (and what.. 300kw?) and yet doesn't seem to be restrictive at 7000rpm when it's making 500kw, however I'm obviously not closing the door on that theory.

      Yeah - Half the problem is I know this sensor actually goes to 150C.. I'm pretty certain it is min of 11C. So still more data required I suppose. It's really quite hard to get the oil temp to 100+ then immediately pull over and take a reading before the temp drops. Annoyingly I suppose the range I really 'want' is likely 80 -> 120C. TBH the ecu can't really *do* anything with it, and the gauge itself is very visible... ...but you know how it is.

      My EFR 8474 Black, made 800awhp on a roller dyno. at 25-26psi. E85. Shaft speed was around 106,000rpm 1.01 rear. The rear is maxed.  6 boost Turbosmart 60mm gate 3.5inch exhaust  Head is worked to the shithouse. Bain racing. VCam. 272 exhaust. RB28 - RB26 foundation.  You have an intake issue. Start getting proper data and I mean go back to the simple things.  - Pressure test your intake - Block off the Turbo BOV, you don't need it.  - Test pressure before and after your intercooler If your head is pretty stock, that is your issue. Especially if it is NA.  Take it off and spend $10k on it.
