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

Was supposed to have this playing this weekend but the starter decided to crap out on me and I can't stand having a car that dosn't run. So, saturday was a day to get that changed out. While I had it out it was a great time to throw the headers on. You would think that chevy 350 headers for a B body car would be "bolt on" but they were an all around nightmare. The clearance between the header and the starter was so small I had to rewire the starter to keep the wires away from the heat. Tell you what though, the difference in sound between open manifold and open header is always a shock.

I guess the starter decided to blow itself up...

Made up some new rear sail panels too since the old ones were all funked up.

Today I had to tidy up a ton of stuff, the rear deck is the only real picture worthy thing though. Those polk neo 6x9's are sitting in baffles to keep them separated from the air movement from the subs. Also got those new sail panels put in, it's starting to look like a complete interior again!

how did you secure the amp rack panels to the body of the car. possibly some pics? sorry just trying to learn a little something from a clean a88 build

Well, I only have this picture - I riveted some L brackets down to the trunk floor then attached strips of wood to them - that is where the bottom of the panels attaches to. The top is attached to the diagonal brace that you can see towards the front of the picc

ive had 3 starters do the same thing in my 80....its a sign from the b body gods lol....if you can switch to ceramic ceramic coated headers... those painted ones will rust up quickly.... summit sells a decent set for about 150 iirc
