Posted November 27, 201311 yr Hi SSA guys. My friend and I just recently picked up a very cheap car and we are going to turn it into a Zombie Apocalypse Vehicle (ZAV). All of the modifications will be done by hand using readily available materials. This is purely for fun and everybody's enjoyment. First things first, every Zombie car needs a sound system!! So this is what we have done. Searched amazon for some of the cheapest 15" subs we could have shipped. We came upon the Absolute USA SN 2000 subs. $30 shipped each. And to make it even better, found a iPod docking deck for $27 shipped. After that we went and got some wood. 3/4 OSB had the best price. Used left over wire and fuses from previous builds and called it good. The amp we are using to power the subs is my old Hifonics BRZ1200.1D because I am upgrading the amp for my BL 15 in my daily driver. We will update the more that we modify the car. Hope you enjoy!!! PICTURES!!! Here is our ZAV. The ZAV was in an accident and will need a new radiator and headlights. No big deal. Already got a plan to get that take care of. Look, a giant box. Interesting... ABSOLUTE USA SN 2000!!!!!!! x4!!!! Okay. The magnet looked a lot bigger in the pictures..... My components have bigger magnets than these subs but thats what you get for $30 shipped. Lol. Completely stripped. $3 window tint. Comes in a can labeled "Rust- Oleum". This will make more sence once the car is complete. OSB cut and ready to go. Flip out docking deck. Box has to be built in the ZAV. And will probably never come out. Lol. PORT!!!! Not to shabby... The glue wouldn't dry so we needed a heat source. Lol Will update with more pictures as we progress through our build.
November 27, 201311 yr Must be nice to have money to toss away frivolously. Have always wanted to do this type of thing but never have the time/funds. That, and a ZAV should be big enough to run over zombies. You hit one or two with that and your going to get stuck on them. No good...
November 27, 201311 yr Ha this is awesome! I wanna do this lol looks good so far. You should put a V snow plow on the front and a stick of spikes coming from the rims
November 28, 201311 yr Author UPDATE!!! First off, what has been done to the car in the last two days has been done quickly. Now that we have the system installed work on the car will slow down but we will keep updating with more Zombie Car action. Lets see some pictures. Took the hood off to make it easier to install the radiator and to bend it back into shape. It got pretty warm today so we started the spray paint paint job. Ultimately the car will be red on top and have black bumpers and sides. But to start things off we painted the trunk lid. Absolute USA!!!!!!!! Door speakers zip tied. Taken from an old boom box. Tweeters we lost in the extraction process. A sweet 6x9. Mounted on the dash via gravity. A sweet 6.5 to compliment the sweet 6x9. Also mounted on dash via gravity. Pretty amazing stuff. OEM radiator brace was not readily available for less than $30. So we looked around and found some angle iron. Practically the same. RACING STRIPES!!!!!!!!!!! Hood straitened out after extensive beating with a sledge hammer.
November 28, 201311 yr Author Needed some head lights. This is what we came up with. Nothing some zip ties and speaker wire cant fix.
November 28, 201311 yr Author After a sound test for the subs we found that our box had some really bad flex. The port wall would flex 2+ inches on bassy songs. Lol. The port has been addressed and now we will move onto bracing the inside. These subs are loud. Probably not as loud as some FI 15's, but for $30 shipped they are DAMN LOUD!! Now we will begin to work on the exterior of the car. Ideas on what will make this a better zombie might just be used. A "V plow" and rim spikes have already been suggested and are being contemplated. Edited November 28, 201311 yr by ToXicFrOgXx

December 3, 201311 yr Hello everyone! i am the other builder on this project and just created a profile on here. First off i would like to say thanks for all the replies and i hope you all are enjoying this build. sad to say there wont be any updates on this build for a little while, but we would love to hear sugestions from you guys!
December 9, 201311 yr Turret mounted twin AA-12 fully automatic shotguns with 50 round drum mags on roof controlled electronically from passenger seat using an in dash mounted monitor and PlayStation style controller. That is my suggestion for a zav. Oh, and obviously using explosive rounds.

December 23, 201311 yr Author Passenger window is out of comission for the time being. Regulator motor decided to stop working. We will have to rig something up to get fire power out that window too. I will post more pics for you guys by tomorrow!!
