Why the Factory Bass is Underwhelming

The R35 GTR is an iconic supercar with a long-standing history of being an incredibly fast production vehicle. One shortcoming however, is that the factory stereo system does not measure up to the GTR standard of high performance. In fact, in many cases the bass provided by the factory GTR audio system is difficult to hear over any aftermarket exhaust. You may wonder why the bass is underwhelming because the factory subwoofer box looks like a large and somewhat impressive housing with Bose subwoofers. In reality, the factory subwoofers are free-air bass drivers that are 2″ in depth that vent into the trunk. The small size, poor factory enclosure specification, and minimal excursion of the subwoofers prevent them from being able to produce the volume or quality of bass that you would expect.

Why Xtreme Audio Systems Sound and Perform so well

Xtreme Audio subwoofer enclosures perform so well is because of the research and testing that goes into each enclosure. A strong focus on the design, mounting solution, and overall construction quality results in a solution that sounds and looks excellent. Believe us when we say that we have tested every combination of subwoofer size, placement and power level because we have. Put simply, we know what works and what does not.

Enclosure Design: Every curve, angle, and measurement are by design with the goal to produce a spec volume, highly rigid, and air tight enclosure that sounds as good as possible. 

Rigid Mounting & Connections: Enclosures are firmly mounted to the vehicle to prevent any movement or vibration created by the subwoofers. Threaded T-nuts or direct enclosure mounting slots are built into each box to secure the enclosure firmly without the use of screws. High-quality terminal cups are used to ensure there are no cracks or air leaks and that the amplified power reaches the subwoofers with minimal resistance. Enclosures are wired up with 14 gauge oxygen free pure copper wiring with all connections being soldered. BlackHole stuff is also added to improve the sound dynamics of the enclosures.

Construction Quality: The level of quality of these enclosures is only possible through the use of the best possible equipment such as SawStop, Bosche, CNC machines, precision jigs and custom made shop air filtration. This may seem insignificant, however quality tools and the best safety practices lead to a much higher quality end product. All enclosures are made in small batches to ensure that equal time and care is invested in each box. Like a handmade car, these enclosures are built with the passion and care that you could expect from a premium product.

Testing, Packaging, and Shipping

Prior to shipping prep, every component of every system is tested on a bench test simulator. This ensures that everything is assembled correctly and sounds as it should. Systems are not mixed and matched during the testing phase. This means that for plug and play systems, your amplifier will be paired with your subwoofers for the test to ensure proper working order. The bench simulator is setup to test full systems, amplifiers, subwoofers, speakers and crossovers. In short, nothing leaves the shop without first passing the bench test.

We sell our GTR subwoofer systems globally. Systems have been shipped to clients located in Canada, United States, United Kingdom, Germany, China, Sweden, Australia, and Thailand. Since we ship these systems globally, we take packaging very seriously. Shipping boxes are double walled cardboard boxes rated for a drop weight of more than triple the shipping weight of the system. Additionally, a generous amount of packing materials are used for each shipment. It takes an hour to pack each system to our standards. Here is the packing process for all enclosures or systems leaving our shop:

• Clean all system parts and wrap in plastic bags.
• Line enclosure edges with 1/8” foam.
• Encase the enclosure and power supply (for plug and play system) in 1/2×12” bubble pack.
• Cover the subwoofers and rear of the enclosure in 1/8” cardboard to protect the drivers and rear of the box.
• Pack items in the larger double walled shipping box using the air pillows for large voids and packing peanuts for smaller voids.
• Seal the box with industrial grade tape and apply the appropriate “Fragile” and “This Side Up” universal packing labeling.
• Ship via Canada Post Xpress air for speed, safety and cost savings compared to private carriers (FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc.)

Packing to this level is an expensive, time consuming, and tedious process, however it is necessary to ensure that the system arrives to you in the same condition it leaves the shop. Delays or potential damage during the shipping process is outside of our control, however we do everything possible to minimize those risks. To date, many full plug and play GTR stereo systems are creating high-quality and crisp sounding bass for customers at home, and internationally.
