1995 Cadillac Deville, 2 Fi Q 15's, AQ2200D

[CadillacMatt 31]

Hey guys... I have a build log over at CA.com as well but I'm really getting tired of the childish behavior of the mods around there (I got banned for "joining in '08" along with a bunch of other people) so I decided to come over here to SSA and show you guys what I've been up to the past couple months.

At the time of this writing, my setup consists of the following:

2 15" Fi Q's (DVC 1ohm, wired to total load of 1 ohm)

AQ2200D amp

7cuft ported box tuned @ 32Hz - designed by Chris at Fisher Customs, built by me

Infinity 475a Reference amp running highs (soon-to-be IDCTX65CS comps, I just need to build the door pods for them. Running some Kenwoods up front for now)

All KnuKonceptz 1/0ga wiring, Big3 done in 1/0ga

Optima RedTop battery

100sqft Damplifier Pro - entire trunk, and two front doors (roof soon to come )

Rear deck port

OK well I hope you like it if you have any questions or advice then shoot!

Here is mah baby

Pioneer P4000UB

Laying out two sheets of 3/4" MDF

The big boy all done

One run of 1/0ga and one run of 4ga (It was already there so I just left it in place for the smaller amp)

Preliminary fitting

The 15\" next to my old Solo-Baric

AQ2200D

This is some good stuff

Deadening the trunk

Testing everything out... looks ugly at this stage

Carpeting and the wires for the Big 3

The box all wrapped up

Hole in rear deck... needs a little finessing

The Big 3... helped out a lot

Trunk lid deadened

Carpeting in the trunk finished! Whew

Test fitting my amp racks

IDCTX65CS comps waiting to be installed!

[CadillacMatt 31]

The box is in there... I turned it around because it was so big the bass was getting choked

The amps sittin perdy

Below is what I'm currently working on... custom door pods for the ID comps (they won't fit in the doors, and the kicks aren't big enough so I came up with a solution )

Prepping the doors for glassing

Who's that hard workin man?

Done...

Stay tuned guys I will keep you all updated!

lol that would been cool.. but no one wants to pay the cost to be the boss

[CadillacMatt 31]

Made a little progress on the door pods today.

I trimmed/ported/test fit the glass backplate, bored out the speaker holes in the baffles, and rounded the edges. The woofer and tweeter are flush mounted, although the tweet hole needs a little bit more diameter on it which I will do tomorrow.

[jonbearsmt 919]

looks damn good!
