LoganFehr Posted January 1, 2012 Report Posted January 1, 2012 Just so you all know, I'm 17 with some experience and a lot of ambition. So, I found a 1972 Impala two door, completely stock and all original parts, bought it for $200 and I've decided it's gonna be a little project of mine. I have an RE SE-x 10 and a Rockford Fosgate P700-1BD (got it practically free from my buddy, brand new), which I was planning on putting in my last car before the transmission crapped out on it Anyways, I need advice. I want to put in a system that sounds clean, low wattage, that'll be easy to upgrade, and as always cheaper is better. I'm pretty limited financially right now. Eventually it'll be two Fi BTL N2's in there, but right now I just need a little more sound than one stock speaker on AM radio hahaha. As of this moment, the car is completely stock, as it came from the factory. Stock doors have no speakers, and only speaker in there is one cheap 5x8" in the rear dash. I need suggestions! If anybody needs to know anything, ask. Thanks in advance for the help
kapone Posted January 3, 2012 Report Posted January 3, 2012 pics of said car and interior... a friend of mine back in high school (a long time ago...) had a 4 door version, and that that car was huge. A lot of potential...
LoganFehr Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Posted January 4, 2012 I'll try to get some pics up today or tomorrow. And yeah, it's a spacious car to say the least haha. I'm really excited to see how it'll turn out.
LoganFehr Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Posted January 4, 2012 Ok, I took a couple pictures. If you want any more pics of specific areas just tell me and I'll get on it. The car actually isn't in bad shape, but it's gonna eventually get a full re-work: body, paint, glass, seals, gauges, upholstery, etc. The whole nine yards. Now that's trunk space. And Yeah, I'm still catching mice from inside there. I'm into double digits now Best sounding AM radio I've ever heard. I'm not making that shit up. And of course, everybody needs a pal with them when they're workin on stuff.

LoganFehr Posted January 5, 2012 Author Report Posted January 5, 2012 Thanks guys. I bought it from my grandpa who had it sitting on his yard for just over 9 years. I got it running with an afternoon in the shop and some TLC, and the stock 350 in there still idles like silk and runs decent with no knocks or rattles. I think I got really lucky with this gem.
kapone Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 you sure that's not a 400...? it looks good, definitely a lot of potential... keep it classy and simple...
LoganFehr Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Posted January 6, 2012 you sure that's not a 400...? it looks good, definitely a lot of potential... keep it classy and simple... Yup, 350 small block. And I'm definitely keeping it simple. Classy is the name of the game.
