New Build - 1995 Cadillac Eldorado

Recommended Posts

Starting a build log for my 1995 Cadillac Eldorado.  Will use Pioneer Head Unit, Blues speakers, and Linear Power amps.  Working on it as I have time, will update as often as possible.

Have you ever thought about doing smoked gray wood grain. It would look awsome in there.

Thank you.  Yes, I'm planning to run 3 Blues Iso-Kits, two 8 in. and one 10 in.  I already have the drivers, just need to put them together.  That is, unless I change my mind between now and time to install.

No, I haven't.  Didn't even know it existed.  Does it come in a dash kit or something?

A little more work completed.  Passenger side door ready for the 6.5 and made up some cables to replace the factory grounds.  I've installed them in the car,  just don't have any pictures yet.  Will get them up soon.

Started today on the driver's side tweeter mount.  Going to attempt to locate in the sail panel.  Didn't get a whole lot done, too windy and cold for me.  I'm ready for Spring.

Driver's side tweeter mount starting to take shape, doing some test fitting, think I'm going to cover it in vinyl.  Got the passenger side 6.5 in, will work on the tweeter for this door next.

Sorry for the lack of updates recently.  Weather here has not been too friendly over the last few days and when I work, it has to be outside, no garage.  :(  Hoping to get back on it in the next few days.

I know everyone likes to see subs, so here are the four 8" Blues drivers that I will be using in this build.  I just have to get the materials to put the Iso-kits together.

Beautiful day here today.  Have been working on the passenger side tweeter mount some.  I've had to test fit and fine tune multiple times to make sure I get the angle right.

Looking good there , and I LOVE those Eldorado's.

Thank you.  Yes, I love this car too.  10 years ago I would have probably laughed at it.  But today is a different story.  It's very comfortable, drives nice, and has a little power when you need it.

Finally got the tweeters like I want, I think.  Covered them in black vinyl to match the factory sail panels.  Will post some pics later as soon as I take them.

Managed to get around to taking a couple of pictures.  Still haven't permanently mounted them yet.  Tossing around a couple of ideas of exactly how I want to do it, for looks and function.
