727Designs Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Just a word of advice, that hydraulic crimper with the chrome dies the dies are undersized on. May need to make them a little larger to make them properly work with 1/0. -Zach-2010 Toyota TundraFull Hybrid Audio SQ 7" BDS on 37's 2000 Ford Expedition 160+ dB Green Turd -SOLD- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know because I bought that kit before I bought this current one. TEAM DISTANT THUNDER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant_Skyrim Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Nice to see somebody else with a Cavalier! Skimmed through the thread for the most part for the time being and noticed you thought you had a problem with the fuel pump? My stock fuel pump actually went out a couple months ago after ~160k miles and that's when I read online that Cavalier fuel pumps are known to have somewhat higher failure rates haha. Also noticed that the trunk of your '99 looks a whole hella lot easier to get a box into. The trunk opening on my '03 sort of juts out at the top like a bowl shape. Overall pretty good build log though Build in progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: On second thought his may have came from Northern. Not 100% sure, was just thinking he said HF. -Zach-2010 Toyota TundraFull Hybrid Audio SQ 7" BDS on 37's 2000 Ford Expedition 160+ dB Green Turd -SOLD- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall pretty good build log though Thanks dude, yeah the fuel pump was just below marginal so i said to hell with it and replaced it. Still have crappy starting issue but whatever lol. The trunk opening is super small, everything gets put in through the rear seat opening. I'm just lucky enough that i have enough space to do it like that. I'll be cutting more metal soon to make more room in the opening, have to make up some harness extensions for the 2 sections that run from the cabin into the trunk. They are in the way of progress lol.

kryptonite Posted May 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 So I started on the wiring for the 4 ch. amp and made up some brackets like how i made for the back speakers. Kicker dx200.4, infinity 6 1/2s and second skin deadener for both front doors. One sheet of black and one of chrome per door, is that considered ocd? lol Inside the door skin Inner door panel Made up a template in birch, love scrap pieces lol Final cuts Hardware i have laying around from a pair of kenwood 6x9s i have wired up in my garage. WIll be inserted through the door skin and through the brackets, bolted into place than trimmed down to size. I have one strand of wire run to the back, thought i had pictures but i guess i don't. I'll take some more when i finish the wiring. Knu krystal rcas and krystal aux cable on the way, than finally finishing the wiring and putting the headunit extension in as well.

BassJunkie Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Nice build. You would be surprised what alternator options you have on that car, just have to be a little creative with the mounting.
