This is my R33 Skyline - Colloquially called Skylin (as i need to get the paint out for an E)



Now for the install (its not finished yet, but allmost!

The Parts:




Hokay, So here it begins (well the photos anyway) - the Sub Box - this isnt anything fancy - jsut made out of 18mm MDF to fit into the corner of the boot so that i could retain as much boot space as possible without removing the space saver:




So now for the install itself - the odds and ends out in the driveway:


The Boot as it was pre install - as you can see theres not much room so we were trying to keep as MUCH space as possible, the origional plan was to put the amp beside the battery there and if you had a smaller amp it would be entirely possible but this chunky DD C4 Amp was way too wide for the gap (as you can see):


We then decided to take care of all the power wiring. I swear i still have bruises on my hands from crimping these. (the RCA and remote wires were allready laid before the camera came out):
Fuse is a must


Earth point - cant get much better than that:


As you can see, we didnt need much power cabling in this


Power wiring all done:


Time for a Trial Run before things get bolted down:


Ok, Didnt blow up, Check!
Didnt start smoking, Check!
Pumped out some phat beatz, Check!
Time to put it all together.

and here u have it as it stands at the moment:






This still has a fair bit of work to go - including the speakers (which havnt arrived yet) but its looking good as it is, im also currently in the midle of creating a false perspex floor which will have a skyline feature in the centre! thanks

mark... i love it.. you know i do.. cant wait for this thing to be finished

i love the boostcruising headunit too

I wanna feel/hear this doof

tidy work .

did u use the right amount of volume inside the box? or did u just make random measurements?

Do r33's have battery's in the boot, cause fuck that makes the job only 300% easier

m8, great work! that is a very clean home job, i must say 10/10!!

clean install that DD sub and amp combo will run a treat

great work man spose ur pretty good mechanically, man thats a sweat skyline dude u should be proud. how long have ya had it?? from memory its reasonably new??? i dunno

thanks guys. its pretty much done now

very nice!

hmm, i could learn stuff from here =D

Hey Ruffels,

What do you do for a living to afford such a sweet car? I just ask because i worked my ass to the bone for 2 years to buy my first car, and it's only a Corolla!

Go the import L platers!

Hey, what’s the spec on the digital designs sub and amp, because I’ve noticed that practically all of the digital designs go extremely hard. Have you had it in dB yet?

That would probably be because DD is a brand engineered specifically for SPL. Noted by the various world records the company holds for sound offs.

Anyway specs for the C4 amp

2 x 50wrms + 2 x 100wrms into 4 Ohms, measured at 12.0 volts.
2 x 70wrms + 2 x 140wrms into 4 Ohms, measured at 13.8 volts.
2 x 100wrms + 2 x 210wrms into 2 Ohms, measured at 13.8 volts.
1 x 200wrms + 1 x 420wrms bridged mono into 4 Ohms, measured at 13.8 volts.

And I'll be assuming, judging by the design of the basket, size of the magnet and the beefy surround that that would be a 2000 series sub? Which if that is the case has rated RMS of 300W, with quite a huge Xmax/excursion factor which enables it to pump out some huge Db.

Nice install man - your a very lucky boy

ROCK ON
R~R

Yeah standard feature

awesome dude, lovin ya headunit

thats a real neat install. wish a sil had the battery in boot, would make it so much easier. i like that install, custom yet subtle

Hey dude, nice clean basic install! Same headunit as me too

nice

it looks great, lucky you i had to pull the whole interor apart to run all the thick 0 gauge wires to the engine bay!!!!!! it took me 5 hrs to finish my install, Ill post pic's up later. I trimed my boot in leather white and put 2 15" subs with a amp in.

Sorry to dig threads;

Nice clean install but black wire for earth!. Makes it so much easier to know what is what if you ever have to pull it out or sell the car and someone else has to change the wiring.

Once again, good work on the install!
