15s in the DTS

Recommended Posts

I've been putting off installing this because I just haven't had time to do it myself. So finally I just took it to a local shop and they did the install for me while I was at work. I'm very pleased with the results. I had these subs in a Grand Marquis before and it sounds MUCH better now. Anyone who has/had a trunk like the Marquis knows what I'm talking about! Here are the pics of the finished product in the Caddy.

2x AQ 15" SDC2.5

Sundown SAZ-1500D

The Yellowtop is not connected yet as I picked it up from my dad after the install. I can always do that pretty quickly myself anyway.

The Kenwood X592 is in there temporarily until I can buy a touchscreen.

The big trunk is definitely a plus! That's why I like these big sedans. Once I get my hands on a good camera I will post some. Stuck with an older iPhone at the moment.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Any pics of the'02 Deville? The box is smaller than I had imagined but oh well. I'm happy with the way it sounds so it's working for me. I think 2 12s or some sealed 15s would bet a better choice for this trunk. Maybe some XCONS later in the year? Hmmmmm...

I really like that Cadillac white. What subs are those and is that box ported?

I tried to put 24s on mine about 2 weeks ago but they didn't fit. There is a metal plate under the front coils that rubs against the tire. A shop here in town wants $800 to do the "mod". Unfortunately they are the only place in town that I can find to do it so I might be stuck shelling out that cash.

The subs are Audioque HDC3 15's, and ya the box in the pics is actually 2 seperate enclosures i had the subs forward and the ports were side firing at the rear.

No, it's not a prefab. You can't really tell from the pics but it is custom fit to my trunk.

Thanks for the comments guys. Much appreciated.

I got a new phone today, an HTC Inspire. It takes great pictures and videos so I will have some up tomorrow for sure. (day off tomorrow. w00t!!)

Jon, I plan on getting rid of these 15s and going down to some 12s (for airspace reasons) on :morepower1: . I'll bring it to you when the real equipment comes. :drink40: I just wanted to get the stuff I already had in the car as quickly as possible so I could have some bang.

So a new development on the Caddy occurred today on my trip to San Marcus. I met up with Big Jon and ended up with a pair of 15" Sundown Nightshade v1. They are running off my SAZ-1500D and in a box the box I already had. The box will be changed out on my next paycheck. (subs set my bank acct back a bit lol) I was going to mount them inverted but couldn't remember if I had to change up the wiring or any settings on the amp. So for today I just dropped them right in. I was worried they might just destroy the box from the weight. Luckily it's holding up for now. :ehh:

The Nightshades replaced my 15" AudioQue SDC2.5. I snapped some pictures for size comparison.
