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

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

Thanks Dan... :)

Pardon my ignorance,but what do you mean by a bandpass box?

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.

that is nice.... whats the power output on that badboy?

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:

      MWR Oil Pump

      Thanks for your response, I’m just hoping and praying that the oil pump will withstand the over-revving which is why I purchased the product. Also, I know very well about the flaws of the 2ZZ in regards to the oil pump and oil sump.

      How easy is it to replace power steering pump?

      MWR Oil Pump

      MWR are a reasonably respected name in the aftermarket 2ZZ business, they're not the cheapest (especially with shipping) but the products are usually solid. In this case though it is only the oil pump gear itself which is upgraded (as that was the issue with the stock ones), the housing is new/refurbed OEM Toyota/Aisin. FYI 4340 is the grade used, it's a high-tensile chrome-moly steel. I believe the stock ones are sintered (ie powdered steel pressed in to shape at high pressure/temperature), which contributes to their propensity to shattering (although I think it is much rarer than people are lead to believe, and usually as a result of over-revving via mis-shifting)

      Engine starts but won’t rev, only idles. 2002 Hilux 4d4

      I left my fridge on in car for five days and it completely ran the battery flat. I have replaced with new battery and engine starts but only idols cannot be revved at all. Any ideas?

      MWR Oil Pump

      My new Monkeywrench Racing Oil pump came in the mail last week ago, which had been shipped from RideRound.nl in the Netherlands. Does anyone know anything about Monkeywrench Racing? Do you all think I made a good choice buying this aftermarket oil pump? I ordered it to to upgrade from the stock OEM one which is vulnerable to disintegration. The aftermarket one is meant to be bulletproof because it is made from some type of so-called '4340 steel'.

      Loss of power

      Hi Darryl, I’ve just read your post about loss of power in your UZJ200R and multiple fuel pump replacements. I have the same issue in my 4.7L and was wondering if you were able to get the issue resolved? My loss of power occurs after approximately 5 hours of towing a load (caravan) and results in loss of power and eventual engine backfiring. The problem resolves it self after a few hours of cool down time. I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel & air filters, plugs, ignition coils and mass airflow sensor but still have the issue. My auto electrician suggests that I now replace the fuel pump control computer (part no. 89570-60160) that sits on top of the right chassis rail just forward of the right rear wheel. He thinks this might be getting hot which could then affect the integrity of the signals being sent to the fuel pump. I look forward to your reply.
