The Saturn: Cant Stop There (dual 18's Upgrade)


Recommended Posts

It's about time for an upgrade...dontcha think? :D

This upgrade will consist of losing the 18" BTL and a pair of 18" Omega's will go in the backseat area, firing forward behind each seat with the port firing up in the rear deck (trying the keep everything at the window line and within the factory dimensions of the rear deck). Still running off of the SoundStream XXX10000 (1 ohm), I may be getting another down the road plus some more D3100's (but that'd be a while...nearly 2 grand for that upgrade :crap:).

For the enclosure im looking to get a good 5.5 cubes net per sub and a 210 sq inch port tuned to 31Hz :cool:

Here's a sketch of what it should be like:

My first 18" Omega is already here...going to order the second once I have the money, shortly down the road:

Some deadening was done to the back-half of the car (almost 2 rolls of raamat were used here):

Stripping away the headliner..

Didnt get a pic of the excess all-thread cut off those mounting points :crap:...but got that done..

And today I went to Jon's house (he made my bracket for the alt in the AC position :) ) today to get an idler pulley put near the front alternator for better wrap. Ive shredded 2 serpentine belts now from big draws at low rpms...this should help once I find a belt for it..

The satty at Jon's :)

Idler in...but to get home I just bypassed it because I dont have a belt to fit around everything yet..

Posted Image

^The belt will go underneath the idler and back up to the alternator's pulley for better belt wrap..
