Got bored took photos of the sub I made. Original enclosure had 2x 10" Peerless drivers in an Isobaric configuration. 

Although sounding nice, wasn't good for movies so I took both drivers out and sold them and replaced it with a single Dayton 10" HF series driver. The front baffled needed to be enlarged to fit the driver (something I didn't account for lol).

Then of course the original 150W RMS Jaycar plate amps wasn't up to scratch and the driver would clip/bottom out, so an O-Audio 500W RMS plate amp was fitted.

A year later, got bored and wanted more output, used WinISD and calculated I would get about -3dB roll of at about 21Hz with a 4" port and I think about 30cm long or so. Has been like that for over a decade, until a few months ago the amp would randomly hum as though I've taken out the RCA out and earth it against the chassis of the amp.

Tested with another sub (Focal Dome, now sold) and RCA nor receiver were the issues. Concluded plate amp is fked.

Took the grill off for a photo.

And these are the fronts I'm using, they don't look like much but performer better than the previous Tannoy MX3 and the Wharfdale Modus 5.

omfg.... That shopping list game. I'd hoped I'd never see it again.

here are 2x options to consider:

I'm waiting for a good BF/CM sale and will pull the trigger on a new sub, I do like the SVS PB-3000 (13") but you could nearly buy 2x Tonewinner D6000s (15")

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
