Posted June 13, 201114 yr Here I go again with the hairtrick thread lol. But just curious again. Are hairtricks done based on cone area or power? I'm thinking both because you need more cone area to push more air but what's the point of more cone area without the power? Enlighten me guys with your experience and knowledge and what you guys recommend for me to do hairtricks on a budget. I'm thinkin a 15" SA-15 and a SAE 1000 as my system for the year. Not expecting hairtricks but what mods do you guys think I should do , add another sub, amp etc. Thanks guys.

June 13, 201114 yr There is no set standard, "do this and this and you will get hair tricks". It's going to depend on the car/install on EVERY basis. I can't (nobody can) give you a set number that will give you the minimum needed for hair tricks. If you really want to do them get multiple subs and a bit of power, tune low with lotsa' port area.
June 13, 201114 yr Author Ok I'll try it out. I'm just trying to see what I can do on a budget you know? Lot of port area, tune low. Got it. This would fit in a 03 Nissan Maxima btw.

June 13, 201114 yr Ported?Yeah port and tune 30-34 with lots of port area. I'm not saying that you'll achieve a hairtrick, but you are pressurizing a smaller area therefore moving more air. Make sure you seal as airtight as you possibly can or it is not worth doing.
June 13, 201114 yr Author I think it's possible for me to seal off the trunk but how will the air move to the cabin? Must I take out my backseat?
June 13, 201114 yr I think it's possible for me to seal off the trunk but how will the air move to the cabin? Must I take out my backseat?Pretty sure the 03 Max seats fold down right?
June 13, 201114 yr Author Actually, I've never tried. It would be very convenient if they did. I just bought this car like last week. If they didn't fold down, this plan would be useless won't it .. Lol

Lol99.9% sure they do. Maxima.org is an awesome resource, I drive an Infiniti I30 (like Max of same year) and that forum has helped me with a lot.
June 13, 201114 yr ShowtimeSPL did a video explaining hairtricks on youtube, go check it out.Breaks down everything very well, and might give you a better answer.
June 13, 201114 yr Author I've wTched those videos relentless. Pretty good info but very generic. I hope the seats will fold down. Um I'll check tomorrow morning because it's 1:30am eastern time but I'm hopin they do cause of so this trunk seal front firing plan might just work. Now which sub(s) and amp(s) to use ...

June 13, 201114 yr Author $1000 total. On entire system which will include battery(s), alternator, wiring , box
June 13, 201114 yr My speakers and headunit is already taken care of2 sa-15's off of http://www.woofersetc.com/p-6040-zrs-7000d-cadence-2600-watt-1-ch-competition-amplifier.aspx . That leaves you ~500 for box wiring and a battery. Do the big three and get a big battery for under the hood and you'll be set. Edited June 13, 201114 yr by ricksi30
June 13, 201114 yr Author That amp is rated 1300 RMS @ 1ohm. Will that be enough? Thanks alot though for all this info. I really appreciate it.
June 13, 201114 yr That amp is rated 1300 RMS @ 1ohm. Will that be enough? Thanks alot though for all this info. I really appreciate it.It's a little under rated, and its rated at 13.8v. The stock alt should do fine with that amount of power (I run 1900 on stock electrical + big 3 with pretty much the same car) and it will slam if done right. BUT you will have 0 trunk space.
