Yea these are just things i "hear", and im not really into the audio side of things so I never bothered to really suss it out. Think the audio section of the forum prob have most info, but i know Willy & Brian here in Vic have awesome sound systems, Elite-rx8 = Willy, he should know sometihn.. lol

I did mine myself


If you need a hand give us a buzz

thanks mate definitely will :)

I'd be interested in a box if they were available. Keep us posted.

Mikey you really are going all the way this time lol You win the lottery ??

LOL......you should see my stereo at home, I have two home theatre set ups! I'm old enough that i still have a couple of hundred of them flat vinyl things......I like my noise. Can't believe New Order finally broke up...oh well maybe some of the Vinyl is worth something now!!!!

What on earth is vinyl and what does it have to do with music? :lol2:

heheheh

Now that's just rude!! :lol2:

Don't worry one day your kids are going to think Ipod's are Sooooo Olddddd! Just like mine do with those big CDs......###k me, :Eyecrazy:

at least i listen to JJJ while they are on some go awful BBB station Britney - Beyonce - Bloody Justin. :banghead:

Must be beer o'clock and some Stig music.......:beer:

was that stig music or Sting music?

My dad listens to the police when sting still had a funny nose

more pics...

carpeted and semi-fitted....got to say I am very impressed! :) kudos to those who originally thought up the position for this box. Its easy to forget there was previously a space in there :lol:

some final stats regarding size...27L / 0.95 cu.f...

seems like actually getting the sub & amp will prove to be the headache :banghead: hard to find good help these days :rolleyes:

now...will the golf bag still fit?? :lol2:

Final price????

I would have opted for the other side cos thats where the driver is!

Get rid of that spare tyre!

...and where is the pic of your bro scratching his balls in the photo?

hiya mikey, final price was $330...the guys name is Nick (good guy) details below for those interested...

Karatan Custom Mobile Audio
www.karatan.com.au
nicholas (at) karatan.com.au

contact him via email and there are more details on the website...hopefully once the amp and sub actually arrive I can demo the setup when next we meet up for a cruise :) I should have some other toys installed by then as well...

drew, why would you put it on the drivers side?

with the spare, if I ever get rid of the spare then there will be even more room :) plus, isnt there an ADR requrement to have a spare, at least in NSW...and before I hear about the sealant solution for punctures...that is a substitute but doesnt that render the tyre un-fixable?

lol...I'll let him know you are after some action shots ;)

And what happens if he has a flat??

I would have chosen the same side he picked. Weight distribution lol

Damn..it's a shame u don't need a 12" sub.

I have a 12" JL W6v2 in near mint condition that I'm trying to unload from my previous car's setup =(

Whitey, put it in ur car ?

It's too much hassle changing the RX-8 system..and expensive too if you want it done right. Most people go for the wire tap option which I'm not really a fan of.

Plus I'm a little poor at the moment too :(

Yea, thats what I ment in few earlier posts, about the sub not coming across that clear if its just installed or like you said tapped in. The whole rewiring would cost heaps but would be done properly.

Its really ridiculas how much a bloody stereo system would cost for a car lol I still cant justify myself spendin money on that side of the car... People are like "oh do you have a sound system" umm nooooooo, they look at me like im crazy lol $5-10k on a car sound system.. hmm I could do much more for that lol But some people lke it.......... go for it. Just not my thing!

sorry to dig up an oldish thread, just wondering how this box stays in its place

superglue and duct tape lol

seriously or wot?

I think DrewMan got confused with my impending turbo mount solution ;)

Seriously though, velcro and the weight of the sub should be enough. I drove from Alexandria back home and the box didnt move a bit so that has to count for something as well.

I have seen a pic where one of the guys in the US has installed a little raised handle type thing into his boot to stop his sub box from sliding around. I'll try and find the post...

what about turning to the left really quickly, any chance of the box rolling?

here's that thread: https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...highlight=4080not sure mate...will have to see once its installed...
