sorry for the newbie question but around how much will 2 12" subs weigh down my car in the box put in trunk? oh yea and spare tire under that...can't imagine losing more than .2 sec?? in a 95gsr

all my extra stereo stuff weighed about 80lbs all together, I've had people tell me that every 100lbs takes a .1 off your 1/4, but I dunno how true that is... but no I dont think it will effect you by .2

 

when i had my 2 12" subs w/ a box and a spare in my gsr, it felt like i had a full tank of gas and more...i think it would kill your qtr mile time big time!

 

My 2 12" sub in a big box and an amp costed my 2/10 th of a sec.

 

wow!

well I'm glad I took out all my stuff.

 

I got one 10" in my trunk and it only weighs about 18 lbs. (sub and box)

 

I don't know how much it would take off my 1/4 mile, I've only ran without it in. But my two 12's, box, and subs amp weigh an ton. I can barely lift the box out by myself

I sold my huge bandpass box for just that reason. The box alone weighed like 75 lbs. I made myself a custom box, sealed, 2 10's... Only weighs like 30 lbs, and I get a pretty good hit...

Yes 2 - 12's will kill your time. Have you ever taken out 4 people in your GSR and tried to get on it. Yeah well it doesnt really get going. Its not that extreme, but the added weight def makes an impact on times.

 

dang...that sux...mang! well i guess i would just take them out when going to the track

 

well...i just weighed all my goodies and came up to a hefty 70lbs....i don't imagine it could cost that much considering i only weigh 120lbs. wouldn't it be the same thing as if a 190lbs man was driving my car? just imagining how my a good suspension setup would help the rearward weight transfer during a launch. if the weight were to be better up front rather than in the back trunk.

 

you wanna take as much weight as you possibly can out of your car. we are starved for torque as it is

 

riding w/ out a spare, i can totally tell the difference. I have no idea how, but i can feel the difference of that spare 15~16 lbs?

 

The integra weighs about 2700 lbs more or less and makes about 170 hp at the crank, 150 at the wheels. so, that's 18lbs per whp. when you add the subs and box and all that other audio equipment, about 100 lbs, the ratio goes up to 18.7lbs per whp. That means that, in essence, you are losing 6 hp at the wheels and about 7 hp at the crank. Sorry if the explanation is a little bit foggy.

 

hahaha yo GARADOS! u have the EXACT same exhaust as me....isn't it louder than a mother!!! gets on my nerves even....damn i thought i was the only one cursed with the hayame+2.25piping...lol

 

hey lil cz...i haven't put my subs in yet becuz i don't know how to install it with all the wiring yet but my boi is gonna do it for me...just outta curiousity...how hard is it to take out ur box w/subs? is it a bitch to uninstall/reinstall for track use? or is it just simple unplug and remove type thing?

 

my box is nearly that big, I can get it in and out by myself, but it's a bitch!

 

I put my spare tire, jack, jack handle and lug wrench on a scale and it read 29.0 pounds.

 

when your buddy wires everything, have him put a plug on your speaker/sub wires so you can just unplug them when you take them out. I had a simple male plug on my sub wires and a female socket on my wires coming off the amp. Real easy that way to take them out.
