    Sub solutions advice

    Imho, build a nice custom box to fit under the targa. Since you get a good deal on alpine, grab a type R 12". They dont require that much mounting depth, and can bet fairly clean. Just be sure to build the box to be about 1.3cu/ft net volume. Though if you really are super pressed for space, do...

    Quick help

    Woofersetc.com They also provide a 1yr warranty on all products through their online store. Great place. I do alot of business with them. For nice speakers check out focal, image dynamics, helix,morel or CDT.

    Rebuilding R154

    Sure thing... Though i wont have the best before/after comparisons because the clutch that is in now, slips like crazy on launching or banging gears.... Its about to die. Plus the motor will be alot stronger when the rebuilt tranny goes on because im rebuilding the motor with the tranny at the...

    sound quality with this sub and box??

    Thats kind of a false statement there. The sub doesnt really car too much about what the box is tuned to. For instance, the "recommended tuned freq." for a sub is just a general recommendation from the manufacturer that they feel will please the common listener. Most often this is a higher tuned...

    Rebuilding R154

    Damn, so i just ship the tranny to them and they rebuild it completely? What about all the parts i have for it already!? Are they going to use them or will they want to use their own? Also, have any idea on a shipping cost?

    Rebuilding R154

    Well i have the rebuild kit from driftmotion, 1st gear thrust washer, and HD bearing plate. My question is, where can i have my transmission rebuilt? Is a place like AAMCO worth taking it to? Or is there some better place to ship my transmission to? Im really wanting to keep the shop local, But...

    sound quality with this sub and box??

    Agreed! I build boxes on the side for some extra cash... I got a big SQL box just sitting in my garage now that needs carpeted... Its for 2 12's.. Thats outer box dimensions correct? If so your box will be tuned at about 54hz... Thats way high IMO, and will be good for some spl, but as far as...

    sound quality with this sub and box??

    Lol now its too small....LOL 1.2cu/ft is way small for a ported box. But for the hell of it, just give us all the dimesnions. L x W x H of the entire box. L x W x H of just the port and thickness of the wood used. Let me know and ill find out what the exact tuned frequency of the box will be...

    Who'd be interested in having their 1JZ head CNC ported?

    Sounds like we have some anxious people here wanted the head ported and polished. Im sending my head off to be rebuilt in about a moth... Better get to it with the boss, if the price is right ill send the head over there for the work!

    JZ is sick :(

    Sounds like timing has been retarded big time... T Its combusting in the header which is keeping the turbos spooled and making them very hot.

    sound quality with this sub and box??

    Be sure to try and incorporate the baffles if you can. Its surprising how much more precise the sub becomes with good baffling in the box.

    Let me see your trunks!

    i have seen many of them in 15-20" diameters, but im not so sure they were at lowes or home depot... Possible a specialty landscape/construction supply yard?

    Let me see your trunks!

    Use a concrete mold for pouring footings in the ground. Any hardware store will have them, and the need just a few peices of wood, and some MDF caps made for a ends to beef them up. They are fairly cheap too...

    sound quality with this sub and box??

    Yes that would work... But are you sure that the sub has a displacement of .5!? My 12 displaces .15 and its not much smaller than your Type X. I dont remember it being that big! But if it is, and your math is correct, 1.3 cu/ft would be about perfect.

    sound quality with this sub and box??

    Nice sub there! The box is a little on the large side for a 10" type X. Ultimately i think a 1.3cu/ft box would be perfect for it minus the displacement of the sub. Im currently using a 2cu/ft box on my 12" RE and its even a bit big. I like the boxes slightly larger just to help on the bottom...
