R33 Boot Install

[mid life crisis]

prob a stupid question but how do you get the spare wheel out in a hurry on a rainy night?

[dezz]

sometimes you have to sacrifice things like that if you want an install like this 1

[mid life crisis]

bugga that i would rather have the spare wheel and listen to the stereo at home lol

[dezz]

then your mid life crisis is only in its early stages

[chrissso]

WOW!! I just filtched your idea for securing the subs to the floor.

Good job man. Very clean install.

Your first?

EIDT: - OK I just read your post again - excellent first job. My positive feedback would be to add more colour and a range of different coverings for the boxes, but don't go overboard. Flames and shit (is that too rice though?).

yer spaire tire is gone... Been meaning to get a can of tyre slime or something... i know its not the best but hey its better then having nothing...

Yer as i said im redoing the whole design in the quest for more DB plus a more practicle design so i can pull the whole system out quicker and easier.... Had to rip off all the vinal to get it out as it was done from one side to the other... The new design will for of be the say lay out but the boxes will be done sepperate from the floor... Was planning on doing the boxes black again but have the floor in orange to break it up a bit and also going to hide the big amp.... Havent really done anything yet as ive been flat out with work but im off work not due to being sick so i think ill start it again now......

Will keep new pics posted and anything else i do

With an install like that, I wouldn't want to thrash the car around.

Great job osiris, all thumbs up

[osiris23]

well it is noticable in the weight... When i pulled it all out it was so much better feeling.... SO saying that now that im re doing it all my plan is to cut down as much weight as possible with the new install... Started it this morning and hopefully will do afair bit tomorrow as im not working all day so yer free time at last...

[osiris23]

and about perfermance to me... really its not a big issue... i owned a 320ATWhp 180SX just b4 this car so yer was planning on going more of a style and show car this time around haha

[Let Me Drive]

please keep us posted with the new install

[Cro_boy_Mario]

hey

one question, im about to do a install in my gts4, i was wondering coz i see ur running 3 amps, im about to also, did u run a seperate power cable for each??

thanks for the help

[osiris23]

Hey...

Nah for the amps i got some 4G power wire from the battery and ran that into a distribusion block which puts out 3 8 gauge wires to each amp..I run 3 seperate fuses for each but its a bit messy so ive ordered in a fused distribusion block so its all in one....

Update is ive got the install all in again... I have a car show this weekend im going in the middle class for SPL. I am going tomorrow to see Image Car Electronics and getting a final tune and DB read out.... I have made a few changes just for the show making a devider between the subs so they dont cancel each other out as well as making a kind of chamber for the subs to direct the sound into the car.... Taken out my 6X9s so i have ports into the car and all in the tuning now... Am aiming for 140db but will be a fair bit to ask but i guess time will tell...

[SKY 34]

cool shit...great job, man I wish I can do stuff like that...

UmmI have a question....why do you put your screen at the boot?

[dezz]

thats autosalon style. its more a case of "cause it can be done" but for people to watch at shows etc...and this guy sounds like he's gettin into the show scene...good stuff

any pics of the new setup mate?

[hender]

yea more pics please it looks pro

keep up the great work

[osiris23]

Ok the show was today....just thrown the boxes in and made a port passage for the subs to be directed into the car... after a tune the other day i pulled 135.1db...... the next day went back to try for more, first just tried the install how it was and was only getting about 125db or so and was like WTF is going on..... tried moving the boxes around and playing around with everything with no luck.... Ended up susing out the amp and i blew channed 3 and 4 on my amp so that was VERY unfortunate the night b4 the show.... Luckly my mate was borrowing a higher powered amp from our other mate so he lent me his 4channel shnider... Hooked it all up again and did 135.1db again..

Show today i pulled out the back seat to get more pressure into the cabin... First run did 135.1 again so was playing around with it again using the heater, AC, just testing things, in the end i got a little more and finished with 135.6db and took 2nd place in my class which im heaps happy with...

So yer starting all over again with new boxes which will be ported etc and will be getting a bigger amp, rewiring everything, and soon a new JVC head deck.... Aiming for 140DB if i can but yer its not the easiest without a hatch back...

Ill get a pic of the dodgy install for the show....

[TWINTIPD]

hey mate, good effort on your install.

yeh i was gonna say, with your sund facing towrds each other gonna be outta phase (fully cancel each other out)

if you dont want a massive wall inbetween your subs (would completely ruin the look) trying only haveing one of the subs reversed, this should help greatly the phasing issue.

I also wanted to ask, what do you do if you get a flat tyre. I am still trying to think of an awesome boot install which allows me to still access my spare tyre.

[osiris23]

its pretty hard an a 33 coz the boot is pretty small..... my mate just got his boot install done in his lancer and is able to pull the floor out easily and the tyre is under there...

I currently dont have a tyre but yer i would like to work something out...

Going up to Image Car Electronics in Nowra some time this week and going to get him to design my boot for me....

[br3tt]

Mate it looks unreal.

Awesome job, congrats with getting 2nd.

Well deserved.
