What's a good place to stick a sub in a R33?

I have just bought an R33 and am getting my stereo gear put into it.

Overtime I have heard many different people have their own opinions on how to mount subs. Facing out up against the back seat, facing in up against the back seat, on one side at the boot entrance facing in and out on the sides etc....

I currently have my gear in my Astra and I have the sub facing into the car up against the entrance to the boot and get pretty good base from this. However in my Astra I leave my ski hatch open.

I noticed in the skyline that you can't fold the seat down and that the battery sits in a mid section between the boot and the back seat.

Has anyone mounted a sub in this mid section and moved the battery and fuses into the boot?

As far as putting the sub in the boot it's self does anyone have any idea on putting a port into the parcell shelf?

I have a Pioneer head deck a Coustic 4 ch amp and a 12" Kicker sub.

Thanks!:D

You might be able to move the battery to fit the sub behind the seats but there really isnt much room at all. A 10" will fit without too much trouble.

I've just got a pre-fab box in the boot with 2 10s. Couldn't be stuffed with the whole install thing in the end. Also I get to keep the boot space!

If your ever down Tuggeranong way during the week, stop into Audio Tech.

One of the blokes that work there has a white R33 and is doing a good install in his own car.

I think he was saying that he is going to put three 12" Boston's in the boot !!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

      Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.

      My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )

      Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?

      Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!

      Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
