My 1996 Cavy build

[cunokyle 0]

1996 Cavalier 2 door

Cuirrently:

1 - Kenwood X994 Head Unit

1 - 18" Soundstream XXX

2 - Audioque AQ3500D.1

1 - Audioque 4x90

1 - Set Alpine Type R 6 1/2 components

2 - Optima Yellow Tops

1 - 155 amp Alternator

Still to come:

2 - 220 amp alts

2 - XS Power D3100 batteries

Sexy amps!

Nice!

Test fitting the baffle with sub mounted:

Horrible safety mask! lol Grinding down and re-using the molded glass bottom of the prior box for this build. Trying to get as much box volume as possible while still keeping everything in the trunk!

Pocket holes ftw!

More test fitting

Ports, front and back sides flared.

Messy!

Not so messy!

Base of the box

Start of more glass work. Glassed the entire inside of the box after strengthening the corners a lot!

Starting to look good!

Back side of box, ready for amp racks and wiring!

Amp and battery wires

Making the wires fit!

Amp rack coming along

All amps and batteries mounted! Everything, including a 5 ft^3 box in the trunk of a Cavy!

Front side painted

Will hopefully get some testing done this week. This is a build for MWSPL Xtreme Trunk Class. For this class, must be a stock trunk, nothing cut, no bonding to body, carpet in, and everything inside the trunk area.

Box is 5 ft^3 tuned to 35hz.

I am still needing to clean up the wiring in the trunk a little bit more. Will be changing Batteries in the next week or so to the XS Power D3100s. Will be looking to do the alternators in the next few weeks as well.

152.3db at 36hz. Not sure what kind of power this burp was at, didn't clamp the amps. Will do that soon.

Meter in the legal MWSPL location on the dash.

Update:

Decided to do a wall.

2 - 18" Re SX woofers w/Fi softparts

2 - Audioque AQ2200d sub amps

12.75 ft^3 tuned to 26hz

1 - Audioque 4X90 mid/high amp

Sony DSX-310BTX head unit

Audiobahn mids/highs (not my choice...but they keep up very well!)

2 - 155 amp alternators

1 - Optima Yellow Top under the hood

Using the old box to get the volume I am after. Had to connect them so I decided to cut some pieces to put together.

Using glass on the interior for strength and to connect the old trunk box to the front of the wall.

Recones done. :-) Fi softparts on Re SX motors/baskets

Just need to finish up the amp rack and face of the wall.

And...

Burping a 152.8 at 30hz at the moment. Hoping to get it above a 153 at 30hz. Not too bad for a couple of AQ2200s

[SPL_Man 20]

Cause this looks waaay cooler! lol

Plus, I am a huge fan of aero ports. They take up less area than a slot port and it would seem they are a bit more efficient.

woof woof crazy build and hair trick!! nice work man!

do you plan on more power down the road?

[cunokyle 0]

I actually plan on swapping out subs and amps sometime this summer. Haven't decided if I want to go with Fi SP4 subs or maybe...maybe even some Sundown Zv3 subs...and a lot more power! :-)

[SPL_Man 20]

cool , i too am a fan of aeroports & been using them since i started doing car audio yrs ago

its certainly diferent to see them being used in a wall though but seems to be working really well for u

sundown plus more power is a good combo!! what kind a power you looking forward to? 10k? 15k? or more!

Going to depend a lot on which subs I go with...but would like to end up with between 10k-15k
