snb778 I haven't checked the '04s but per infiniti's site for both the '05 and '06 years the sedan is A) lighter than a coupe with the same transmission, B) has a lower drag coefficient, C) can have the same sports pkg as the coupe w/ 18" wheels vs 19", D) having smaller wheels further...

Just a heads up, the G35 Sedan is slightly quicker than the G35 Coupe. At least when it came to the '05s. I know its sounds retarded but it has a lower drag coefficient and weighs less. Go figure.

In Japan the G35 Coupe is badged as the Skyline, the person probably just did a re-badge, I hear about it all the time. For the record: G35 Coupe is the Skyline in Japan in name only, it can't be compared with the older GT/GT-R versions. The G35 coupe and 350z share the same...

I'm in Ga and I got mine in like 2 days.

A box came with the sub I bought but I had one custom made for my car. I'm now thinking of putting a budget sub in it, finding a budget amp, and giving it to my youngest brother for his birthday. Anyway I did some rough calculations and I figure the internal volume is ~1 ft^3. It can hold a...

Thats a really good question, guess I should check the manuals. Edit: Well the receiver only goes down to 6 ohms and I can't find anything about the output jacks on HT sub's amp so I'm gonna assume that they do not go down to 4 ohms just to be safe. Everything on the sub looks fine so I'm...

Is it possible to test a sub using home audio equipment? I got a sub off ebay and I want to make sure it works but I don't have anything to test it with before I go to the installer(which will be next month). Its a single-voice coil 4ohm 10".

I'm starting to get parts for a system but most of them are second hand and I don't have a way or the knowledge to test them to make sure they work. Would BestBuy test them for me or would I have to go to a custom shop? Right now I need a sub and a line output converter checked. Thanks, Brian

I just bought the amp off ebay, check your email.

4ohm DVC 10" wired for 2ohm. 500w rms handling, sealed 1.0ft^3 box. I'm not looking to blow the trunk lid off and I'd like to keep it around $150. Right now I'm eying used MTX 500d amps but any suggestions would be great. Thanks, Brian

You know, your post sounds a lot like this one: that's 4 days old.

Wonderful, I just bid on a set of 6.5" Type R Comps and a set of 6.5" Type R Coax. Oh well, they gotta sound better than my stock Bose speakers right?

The 9500 is out, it cost too much and I'm having the box custom made to fit a certain area in my trunk. I'm not trying to win a competition just trying to get something with more bump than the two 6x9 "woofers" in my rear deck.

The 8500 is just at $200 on ebay and yes I am prepared for the Type R horde. The L5/7 group can buzz off, its a round opening.

For a sealed 1.0 ft^3 box which would be better: a 10" MTX 8500 or a 10" Alpine Type-R? Haven't picked an amp yet but just assume it will be a PG Xenon 600.1. Also please refrain from saying get a type-x, because of the mounting depth and the way my box is shaped it will not fit. That said I am...
