Very subtle. Where did you place the subwoofer?

With that amount of power you'll knock-out an eldery man.

That's a good solution other than bandpass box for sedan.

We won't like to hear trapped bass on the boot. Good job.

Very tidy install you've got there but one thing, it's not recommended to have amps attached to your box due to the vibrations...

Thanks Rolla Boy... :)

The amps are not directly bolted to the sub enclosure,they are mounted to a rubber insulated board at the rear of the sub box...it's 3 pieces-sub box & amp panel & cosmetic panel.

Thanks Mick... :)

The Rockford Fosgate T1500-1bd is a badboy...

750w RMS (actual tested power) @ 4 Ohm

1250w RMS (as above) @ 2 Ohm

1820w RMS (as above) @ 1 Ohm

The Rockford's came with verified power & engineering test fact sheets,tested by a guy called Dwain Soultaire at Rockford (11/8/08),whoever he is...they also call these sheets the amps Birth certificates... :lol:

Final line on the T1500-1bd certificate says your total RMS POWER is 1824watts and stamped... B)

Bandpass box have two holes (well the ones that I know anyway) on top of the box, which sits directly below the holes on the parcel shelf. This way the sound of the bass can enter the cabin instead of being trapped in the boot.

Thanks for explaining that Dan,now i understand... :)

And thanks also And1,i think you would start pizzing blood after a while sitting in the middle (kidney pounding)...sitting to the side of it is like a massage chair on roids,sitting in the middle would be just plain uncomfortable. :lol:

Actually Lee, what you have there is very close to a bandpass enclosure, just not sealed and tuned appropriately. Maybe this can give you some ideas.

My sister used to have a bandpass enclosure in her car because she had a small car and wanted to retain some room. Their main purpose is efficiency. When built correctly, they can give higher SPL than a sealed enclosure, but way smaller than a ported enclosure of equivalent SPL.

The best way to picture it is by diagram:

I'd absolutely love to sit in the middle. I'd make sure to leave the ski hatch down as well.

Thanks Ingres...your welcome in my car anytime,if ya ever in Melbourne... :)

Daryl,thanks for the brief thought of going loud again,but i'm trying to go SQ not SP so only looking for about 110db-120db of crystal clear sound,my last creation (Pug 306 hatch) was 148db tested and that was boardering on ridiculous (toooo bass heavy)...

and you can have the ski hatch seat mate,nobody else wants it,my mate said he would rather walk or take his car the other night when we were car pooling to the pub,i was in a such Chemical Bros blasting mood... :lol:

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.

Any idea what this could be and the A/C is always working now for now.
