1979 Caprice Build - FINISHED!


Recommended Posts

good craftsmanship....

why did you choose to do the subs and port in that particular configuration?

whats the box size and tuning frequency?

Well, porting through the rear deck is the best way to get sound up into the cabin in this car. The subs are inverted because: 1) LEVEL 5'S ARE SEXY 2) The mounting depth would be too deep for me to keep the port straight along the top of the box. I didn't want to try to "fold" the port inside the box.

Little over 7.75 net cubes with a tuning around 36hz

fi

porting through the rear deck wasnt all that hot for me, I get better results with everything firing to the rear. Right now Im 7.5net tuned to 27hz. the rear decks and glass are different from 79-80 so it may go better for you. when are you going to have it playing we want vids and numbers

Got all 4 runs from the front to the back, amps are wired up, even got to hear it for a bit... it sounds very nice and it is going to get really loud. The trunk is pissed and flexing bad but I haven't deadened it yet. Also finally got the fuel sender wired up right, dimmer and Dakota DIM-1 finished up and working, and the gear shift transducer buttoned up as well.

One of the next big things in line - trunk lid needs to come off and get stronger...

Just now saw the rest of this build-

Freakin' sick! Very clean and original. The trunk is hot! I feel your pain with all of the interior work- just getting that age I guess. How do you like the HIDs in those lenses? I have thought about those myself...

Much love for the Big Body from the Dirty South! :D
