Stealth Install

[Restless 33]

hey guys just wondering what sort of gear people would recommend for a stealth install in an R33 GTS-T. i'd be looking to pick the gear up off the 'for sale' section at a pretty cheap price. just wondering what sort of brands and specs i should be looking for as i'm a noob and not quite sure exactly what would work best. would probably need to be 10" subs mounted into the fake wall in the boot. any ideas is great as i know very little about it.

cheers -Mark-

sony and pioneer both make real stealth headunit that's just a plain black face wen switched off (no buttons etc), one of em's a touch screen the other is a hidden face. Both mean that you don't have to take your headunit with you when you leave the car.

thanks for the suggestions funky i'll check em out. Any ideas for the subs and amp if i want as much boot space as possible??? i've done a search and found a few. what sort of subs do i need for an install on the fake wall in the boot? specs???

im assuming you want to put the subs in your rear wall (in boot). I think there are a few threads on the subject, do a search. I remember reading about some somewhere

yeah i did the search. there were about 2 or 3 threads but none gave any specs on the best types of subs u should use. i'm really asking for what subs u need for an install like this and wat specs to look for.

10 inches would be small yet good for bass. Alpines require the least amount of enclosure space out of the common market subs, type r's are the cheapest i think but all alpines are pricy... the amp can probably fit in the back too if you manage to move a few things around

that's wat i was talking about...what specs should i look out for in particular for an install like this..i'm new to this. also do u think u can fit two 12" in there without bringing the wall to far forward...i'm hoping to barly move the wall at all

dunno if it has been done before but im sure its possible. The only problem is the enclosure space behind the wall. If its to small you'll get reverbiration through your rear seats and that wont sound good.

yeah that's wat i thought tha's why i was interested in the types of subs i should get. i listen to heaps of hip-hop so i like the bass. if i can fit 12"'s i will but i think it'll have to be 10"'s with a lot of power. anyone know the type of subs i should look for. can someone explain would i need open air or ported or wats the difference

getrippedoff, before anyone can seriously recommend you a subwoofer to look at we need to know what it is you primarily listen too as different speakers suit different music.

Marty, as for Alpines having the smallest enclosures of the common market; they do have small enclosure, but not the smallest. The Hertz high energy series 10" can run down to 0.2cf (obviously the magnet has to hang out)...

getrippedoff, you can fit a 10" under the shelf without dramas. This is the last one we did:

The amp if small enough can go next to the spare tire. Again, this is the same car:

i listen to heaps of hip-hop so i like the bass.

thanks for the help so far guys. i don't mind if the subs face the back of the car or anyhting just looking to keep as much room in the boot as possible..
