98' Ford Escort Zx2 - Beginning of a Rebuild


Recommended Posts

Posted

My wall is right at 5 cubes net per 18 and the xls liked it ok. We'll see how well the new 18s like it before too long i hope.

hmmm are you doing a rebuild? I also gave some thought to a 4th order wall with 2 18's and use of trunk space for sealed portion but it may be a little much lol. Car is easy to get loud but there is too much to seal off

Yea!!! Hows it working for ya in that car. Tell your school you need time off so you can get your build done lol. Getting a 99 gmc suburban Monday :D .

the car is doing great so far! Saturday I should have updates. I'm driving home to pick up a pet and stopping by a competition too. Before the competition I'll b installing one run of 1/0 and the trunk battery for better voltage :good: can't wait to see what you do with the burban... Better be a 2-seater when it's all said and done ;)

They do get loud easy but 2 18's that would be a site to see :).

challenge accepted... When I get a real job and big boy paychecks lol. I want to buy a nice car with a little setup for daily driver and go to town on the zx2 for fun :D

I was just at Pennsyvania Regional State Championships 3X Meca even on Sunday and did pretty well with the given circumstances....

sundown SAZ-1500D v.2

DC m2 lvl 4 12" with recone wired @ .5ohms

Singer 220a alt

box tuned to 34hz

I have no trunk battery, trunk isn't sealed off, sub and port firing forward, no sound deadener, and I was able to hit 139.4 db @ 45 Hz

If I had revved to 2000rmp during run or had any of the above complete in my car then I really think that I would have hit my goal of 140 db

Here is the link to my score :) ---> http://www.mecacaraudio.com/dnn50/Events/tabid/76/ctl/eventresults/mid/438/eventid/1351/Default.aspx

Did you actually go through the process of scraping all the tint off the back of the cluster and paint it green? I did that with mine, it was a bitch lol. Yours came out looking good though!

lolwut??? It's supposed to be all green. What was yours like? The right side has dead lights. Might as well remove it and replace with LED lights :good:

That's right lol, mine just weren't that bright cuz I didn't have leds, but you can scrape the stock tint off the back of the cluster, then color it in with a Sharpie or model car paint.Easy way to change the look of the cluster. I scraped mine off and colored it red

Nice scores man good job. Mine the escort won't do that probably lol. I didn't know about that with the dash panel that's cool to know.

thanks! I don't feel like doing any heavy modding to my car but might buy aftermarket cluster

Vid soon!
