I have a coupel of questions that i need anyone to help me with pls

Ive done alot of searching and check out heaps of boot displays all looking awsome.

1. if i airbrush a sub woofer, would it defect the sub woofers performance in anyway or muffle its sounds???

2. is there enough room under pass seat for a PS2 to sit?

3. Where can i get a 12v power suplly for the PS2 to run in car

4. anyone got measurements of the boots

Im looking at running to 12inch kicker square subs, 2 1000wtts (600r), alpine deck, tv monitor above deck, slpine 6 1/2 inch splits in fron, same in back running off a 800w alpine deck, subs are air brushed and there are words in there sum where but cant explain all of it as i need the idea to be MINE hahahaha

I would reccomend looking at other amplifiers than Alpine, as there is a lot of quality out there... namely the US brands: Boston, Phoenix Gold, just to name a couple i have dealt with.

PS2 will fit under the passanger seat, all you need to power up is a transformer 12VDC-240AC (available from most Auto shops). Alternatively you could modify the PS2 itself and run 12VDC directly to the PCB in the PS2 if you know what you are doing.

Personally, i would highly recommend XBOX due to its inbuilt HDD, and capabilitys as a Media Centre, once it has a modchip installed. this will help greatly when driving on bumpy roads! You will also save money on having to buy and extra DVD player for the TV screen, unless your deck is DVD capable.

Dont forget about cabling and sound deadening...

I just recenlty spent $1500 on cabling, sound deadening and optima battery. No point getting compettition components without installing it properly IMHO.

Also i wouldnt worry so much on getting top end speakers for the parcel shelf, as their main purpose is primarily for refill, and SQ isnt really a main factor when you have a quality front stage!

If you are interested in some prices on a high end setup, drop me a PM, or add me to msn and i should be able to help you out!

PM me if you want my msn details, and ill help you out as much as i can.

no airbrushing won't effect, the performance, i spose theoretically it'll make the cone slightly heavier, but it will be really really negligable only thing u wanna make sure of is that if u have any cone flew which might cause the paint surface of sumthin to crack or what effect the crazy vibrations will have on the artwork.....

    • Initial/early bite is a feature of.....generic pads. Things that work cold. Just put Bendix Ultimate in it. If you don't like them, it's only $3.50 wasted and an hour to change them. I've been using Intima SR, and they seem to be a good performance pad. Street friendly and able to take at least a little beating.
    • This is my first post after registering.. I hope i can find useful resources on this forum. Great forum. 
    • As I implied in my post, I have NO idea what the were. But in case I didn't make it clear, the way they performed was brilliant; whatever the brand was. I think it was the compound that made the difference. And if they were Bendix, then sign me up, I want another set. I did drive down mount Ousley (just outside of the Gong) a few times, and they showed no untowards performance.   Its not the low dust that I am looking for NOW. At the time I needed low dust, but now I have no issues with dust but want the initial/early bite of the pads that were used. Yeah, the early cold squeal may of been due to a missing shim or such.  And to repeat, its not the low dust I am seeking, its the initial bite of the pads and increase in bite as  the warmed up during each breaking. As soon as I let off, I don't remember the breaks being extra sticky if I used them again soon after. But I also did not test that theory.   Thanks for the recommendation, But I would prefer to choose something specifically with the behaviour I described.   I assume that they didn't use the default compound off the shelf, as we discussed the dust issue at length. And the early squeal when cold, I have seen the sound is more of an issue with some pad compounds. Mostly ceramic, which also are said to produce less dust.
    • Well, in 2007 he must have been charging about $1800 an hour. He only looked at the car for 5 minutes. And another 4 to write the report wrong, and another minute to correct it. Mind you, this was for a car that was: Stock engine, fmic (hole in drivers guard), all alloy intake and custom air box, 3 inch turbo back exhaust, lowered, and a set of 17" Advans (255/40/17 rear and 235/45/17 front). It was nothing crazy. The blue slipper wanted the "hole in the guard" engineered. But that was because he got the shits that I wouldn't "relocate the battery from the boot, back to the factory position in the engine bay"... In an R33 GTST...     Also for emissions, E85, and don't go wild on timing. It's amazing how the closer you get ignition timing towards max torque, the last couple of degrees really throw NOx counts right up. And for the huge increase in emissions, it's only a small increase in torque.
