well well, i have been a naughty boy. why??? cause i spent the whole weekend playing with a fully imported 180sx rather than getting around to plyaing with torry (she hasn't been started in two weeks). i know a lot of you won't like this but i also know a few of you are into car audio and this is the main reason i put this thread up.
a mate of mine just purchased said car, fairly stock, nice tidy rims (not to big), bov with a dodgy intake pipe (i'll fix this one day), pod (i'll do this properly with heat sheilding and ducting one day to) a bleed valve, strut braces and a few other little extras. and before you all go yelling and screaming about slowness....well to be honest i went for a fang in it and it has about twice the guts as my torry. can't wait for my nitrous to arrive...i might be able to keep up then. but yeah, basicaly saturday and sunday i spent roughtly 22 hours putting a tad under $5g worth of subs and amps in there. we got two eclipse titanium series 12's and two eclipse amps to run em. also a nice new eclipse hu, and the fronts and amp that came with the car.
i don't actualy have any finished picks atm, i'll try to get them tomorow (my camera man hasn't shared those ones yet). but anyway, heres a few progress ones.
tilly after a trip to bunnings...we also went through teh crannies drive through like that to get some pies for brecky lol...
the 18mm mdf i used for the install. out of all that theres only approx 500mm square left over....dang....
the ricer itself...
the boot after we tore the sterio that came with the car out. note little cut out bit around the left shocky tower...that was from me making the new box that i was making fit....i decided to take picks so shoved it back in there for the photo lol...
i want all this...in there....
i'll try to get some finished picks asap, before this thread gets closed lol. hang tight, the finihsed install looks absolutley fantastic.

personaly, i wouldent spend 5k on this kinda gear, but matt would and he loves it.
how much slower...wella lot i recon. i carried one of those big sheats out of bunnings (2.2m x 1.8m x 18mm) and i recon it weighs about 50kg (yes im strong lol), so roughly one and a half of them went in. the subs are around 30kg yeach (yes you read correct) so yeah... thats 135kg in my rough calculation.....

and, believe it or not, it's not that loud outide. or inside really. it's not a loud muddy bass, just clear, crisp, and enough to nearly wind ya. a really really nice sounding install.

I can understand a good stereo system ( subs / midrange and tweeters / amps ) but 10k and a million decibels is stupid IMO. Youll never be able to listen to it at full blast, and dont ever think of recovering your cash. What bomber watson has setup would be about the extent I would go. I much prefer the rumble of a v8 as music to my ears.

like i said i personaly wouldent spend that much on an install, i'm going to get the rest of my gear tomorow, it will be another $800 or so. already put $400 into it but imo $1200 is fairly good, and i assure you this will be a nice system for the torana. base model alpine mp3 player, alpine type s 6.5" splits running from a alpine v power 2ch amp for the front, pioneer 6x9's in the back running from the hu (i have the speakers laying around and there blue, so will match. i rearley even have the rear speakers audible. don't like them) and an alpine type s 12" 4x4ohm dvc sub running from an alpine v power monoblock.
as you can prolly tell i like alpine, and the s type gear matches my car lol, blue and silver. this is all fairly cheap gear but sounds sweet for it's price. i would like to get some s type 6x9's for the back aswell but thats an extra $190 and i cbf'd paying that for something i'll rarley listen to, so the pioners will do. there blue, near enough.
