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:

      overheated engine

      I drive a 2010 series 200 sahara V8 automatic. I recently towed a small caravan on a not that hotter day. The temperature gauge went to about half then dropped back to normal. The motor then went into limp mode and eventually stopped. On lifting the bonnet i noticed the top radiator tank had split all the way across. I have only two months ago had the complete cooling system checked with no defects. I called the RAA in South Aust and they tried to start it but just turned over but did not fire up. It was still pretty hot. I have been told the motor would be ruined by overheating. The car has been sitting at the repairers for 5 days now and as far as i know it has not been attempted to start. Before putting a new motor in it would it be worth putting a new radiator in it and see if it will fire up? Open to any suggestions at this stage.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Depends on how common/rare they are in your part of the world. The XZ trim was the second-lowest so didn't come with most of the fun bits that the full-fruit BZG/V/R models did, so it's not anywhere near as desirable stock but sometimes you have to make do with what you can find, plus you shouldn't feel as guilty modding the heck out of it since most of it isn't special.

      VSC, Traction Control, Check Engine lights all on

      I attended Toyota Preston for Aurion ATX 2013 major service today. Cost $~$1300. On the way home I stopped to pick up dinner. Two fault lights: engine and VSC lights came on when I restarted the car. Car drove home just fine. I can only return the car tomorrow for them to sort out. Annoyed. Let’s see if they’re still on in the morning.

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb
