Below is a rough sketch/color of the sub box im working on and would it be safe to put the nitrous bottle on a "shelf" that will be between the two subs? still trying to figure out where im going to put the amp, and other components but i know some have said its not good to have the amp directly on the sub box. this should be a slide in box to fit right behind the rear seats.

Yeah u can, DIdn't u ever see somea the box's people have at carshows and poop.

I've seen people that have teh bottle goin down into the box.


I had the bottle mounted right infront of my subs, and never had a problem.

it takes ALOT! more than speaker vibrations to get a NOS bottle to blow the safety valve

idk, lmao he included so many different amounts im gonna have to research whats what. i wont be running nitrous next summer more than likely, just be using it for show, until i can beef the engine up and that wont happen till its outta warranty, which is another 40,000 miles, so probably not till summer '06, unless I find I have the sources to fund some upgrades besides fuel injectors and all, which reminds me I need to research adding a second fuel cell so I dont have to tap the main tank for the nitrous kit. any suggestions or ideas on what I can do, and would it be safe in the trunk in close proximity to the nitrous bottle and my subs?

I hope to have everything installed in the car minus the final hookup to the fuel system by the end of march, since my car is still under warranty for another 40,000 miles. Is the purge the blue hose w/ that rubber piece on the end? im guessing so but then again wasnt sure. also is there a way to hook up like 2 or 3 purges to one kit?
