Do you want to have your hearing impaired ?

Do you like it when it feels like your ears are bleeding ?

Well if you answered "Hell Yer!" then this is right up your ally.

2 x Kicker (F12c) 12" Competition Class Subs in a custom enclosure.

The box is made from 3/4" MDF and is internaly braced and sound deadened. The box has been built to Kickers exact recommended specifications, it is divided in the middle to give each sub its own internal airspace of 1.75 CuFt and are both ported by a 4" tube port.

The box features a gold plated quick connection port for each sub on either side of the box which is connected by Stinger 10 gauge speaker wire & gold terminals. It is carpeted and both have a Kicker removable subwoofer grill.

Each sub is 4ohm svc (single voice coil) and is rated to take 400w RMS peak, or 200w RMS continuous.

The subs can be linked together to run off one channel.

If they are linked in parallel it will drop ohms to a 2ohm load so you amp has to be 1ohm stable.

If they are linked in series it will increase ohms to a 8ohm load.

The enclosure dimensions are:

Width = 31"

Height = 13"

Top Depth = 17.5"

Bottom Depth = 21.5"

The subs have never been run in a car.

When i brought them I ran a 4hr break in procedure which was done on a test bench and involved varying freq tone steps.

A very regretful sale .... $550

      I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p

      Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32

      AC not coming from top vents

      By Templim · Posted

      Ayooo, been a while mates. I have a s2 r33 gtst and air stopped coming out of all the top vents.   My car has always made an actuator gear noise when turning the car on but that's a different issue I think? Did searches and am at process of thinking it's an actuator or some type of motor? I see a few different actuators and don't know which one. Would be nice to know if it was the one that's under the steering wheel so the dash doesn't need to come out.

      Hi, just checking. Did you get this stuff made by Vspec Performance and at what price roughly? Looking into (sometime later) also getting such a intake kit, and Trust as well as HKS don't make a full set like this anymore.
