hey there, firstly i would probably go for a micro pc if you can afford the purchase, as it will make your life a lot easier, something like this http://www.ebuyer.com/product/227257 and mount it in the glove or somewhere. and most deffinately run the cabling, then dynamat (or similar) then fix the cables. will you be amping your other speakers? if not then a 5 channel amp is more than overkill, if its just the sub, get yourself a decent monoblock amp. with subs you have to remember theres a lot of physical movement going on when its banging out some 'phat tunes' lol. so the speaker needs to be secured well to its plane or surface. most speakers (subs anyway) are designed to operate in a partially enclosed environment, usually completely sealed either infront or behind the speaker to generate back pressure, without this back pressure most subs sound very flat. so i would really reccomend boxing your sub unless its specfically designed to run free. theres 3 main types of enclosure you could use (and again different subs will work better under different conditions) Sealed Ported and Bandpass each will behave and sound differently, i myself prefer the bandpass boxes, where the speaker is tucked away behind some (usually) perspex. it gives a very deep basetone :-) have a look here for more info and great box calculators http://www.ajdesigner.com/speaker/index.php and if you need any more help etc pls feel free to pm me :-)

Any advance on this?

deffo soundproof first! as said by groover. and make sure your power cables are routed away from your signal cables! where is the carputer going to be mounted and also, what type is it?

awwww, think im working that weekend :-( deffo going to JAE though

any more?

good man, i reckon a vigilante section should be added lol

well ill be going with my m8 and his st205 but if theres not gonna be a stand or a big 300 attendance ill just jump in with him to save the juice. my car isnt really show worthy at the moment lol. any more interest?

hey there, is anyone going to this? will there be a club stand? cheers guys http://www.risingsuncarshow.co.uk/

Do it!!!!!!!!!

£407 fully comp, me and the mrs, im 25 and shes 23, with Admiral :-)

my money is still on ground leads :-)

LOL! cool, where did you see me? it should have taken a bit longer but i got impatient lol, to be fair it was pretty easy, but ide reccomend using the oven not a hairdryer.

Please dont get me started on this issue! some roads are becoming like country lanes round here!

deffo not skank lol, there good stuff :-)

Aggreed, most/some amps have a high level input. not sure of any other ways of doing this though, i think id probly look at getting a new headunit, they can be dead cheap now :-)

hope you get better soon!

My modeo has just snapped a spring now! any chance of your snapped piece lol!?!?

????

hey guys, as above, but i mean the one to take off with the 300zx written on it? cheers people

im gonna have a go at this this morning, ill post some pics if i win lol

hey guys, im trying to get an itenery itnerry eyetinerererey how the hell do you spell that!!!!!! anyways, im trying to sort out which shows to go to this year so as i can book the time off work now. ive never been to any before, and will have a friend with a toyota gt4 st205. so we want to go to the best ones for us both. im guessing that JAE is a must, but how about any others? also i was wondering if we could get a few joint meets going somewhere? i think my m8 is suggesting it on the gt4oc. but back to the point, any advice or suggestions would be great :-)

sometimes as you start the car, if your earth's aren't the best or maybe your battery is on its way out, the drain is enough to kill any constant live backed up accessories, cd player, clock, carputer etc. mine did this for a while and i had a dodgy connection on my neg terminal on the battery.

wow

how bout a spot the zed in the media thread (club sites etc dont count!!!) heres my first off the gt5 site

agreed! very well done :-)
