jub Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 Hi guys, Just got my Z and want to replace the existing sub behind the seat with my alpine one, can it be done? It's a 10" Alpine Type-X. Thanks Quote
yokomo Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 yes but then again anything can be done its juts a case of how much work. you could just drill some holes and bolt it in but DONT ! easyest thing is ignore that location and put in the boot but if you must mount it there (im in the process of putting an 8 there) its been done by taking the mtel plate out and fitting the box in the space left , have a search around .

Shaun1982 Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Have a look in my install options thread matey,youl see the box ive had built to go in the standard space,but i highly doubt your X-type being the top flight sub of theirs will fit the box,its 7'' deep maximum.Hope that helps for now Quote
helimeddaz Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Hi, Welcome. There is a plan drawing for a sub box that fits on the forum m8. Hope that helps. Quote
Shaun1982 Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Thats what i used to have mine built dude Quote
jub Posted October 2, 2009 Author Posted October 2, 2009 Hi, Welcome. There is a plan drawing for a sub box that fits on the forum m8. Hope that helps. Ah really? Where would I find that? Quote
Shaun1982 Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 I think it might be earlier on in my install options post maybe dude.If not then pm me & i can send you it via email etc if you want Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Hmm... cant find the one that I posted for you Shaun.. was it a link or the pic? Quote
Shaun1982 Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 photo i think fiddy,ive got it on my phone still.lol.hold up ill try post it up Quote
sunset350z Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Looking at that drawing you've only got a mounting depth of 6 1/4 inches not 7 inches Quote
yokomo Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 which way up does that go then , sub fireing upwards or out ? Quote
Shaun1982 Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Yup your right sunset,ive ended having to search for a sub by mounting depth then checking the volume it needs Yoko it points upwards at the nav unit etc.Puts me off a bit but hey what can you do about it.lol. Quote
sunset350z Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 From the pic you show of your box in the cubby, couldn't you make up a spacer ring to raise the sub out of the box slightly to give you that extra clearance. Quote
Shaun1982 Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 I suppose you could but i think by the time youve got a sub fitted anyway itl be a bit of a squeeze getting it in.when i put it in i did remember thinking hmm looks a bit tight heightwise,untill its in then theres no problem,Infact dont hold me to this people but,if you want to squeeze a bit more volume out of it then you 'could' make the bos a few inches wider. I hold no responsibility for if anyone tries this & ends up wasting their money on the wood when it wont fit Quote
sunset350z Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Well if anyone tries it, then just remember to temporarily fix the box together with a few screws and no glue. Then if it has to be altered, its a simple enough task. This has made me very interested in getting a sub box in the cubby. Being a carpenter i could of done this and got the max out of the available space. Just need a zed to practise on, damn Quote
Shaun1982 Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 You could make the ideal box then dude if you had the car to use.lol.I got a joiner mate to do mine,cost me £40,was well pleased.lol. Quote
sunset350z Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 I could probably make them boxes up for £40. Thats a good price to be honest as it would cost about a tenner for the MDF, another couple of quid for the screws, glue and mastic. Then its a good few hrs cutting, assembling and sealing. I've done loads of installs for myself and others. Not done the Zed yet though. Still got the install out of my Type R civic sitting there in the spare room. Hmmmm, maybe worth making these up and selling them if there is enough of a demand. Quote
Shaun1982 Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Id certainly do a bit of an EOI to find out dude Quote
