Impala: Purchased a couple months ago, needless to say, the stock audio system was no where near sufficient.

The Goodies: Two Alpine Type R D4's. 40ft 1/0 NVX (half blue/half gray) 100ft of NVX 16g Speaker wire, plus another 50 ft of wire for the tweeters, 3 20ft RF RCA's, Audison distrobution block, 1 pair of Hertz Hi-Energy 165XL components for the front, and Hertz Energy components for the rear. RF T1500 for the Subs, and a RF T600-4 for the interiors. 80sq ft of NVX sound deadener. Pioneer 5500BHS 7" Screen, and a Radio Pro 5 harness to integrate everything. Vmax Charge Tank 2500, and a Optima Red Top to minimize the light dim.




Started with runnin the NVX 1/0 Power, and ground front to rear

After the wire was ran, we wanted to see how the Vmax CT 2500 was gonna fit in the wheel well, luck would have it that it was about perfect.

We wanted to fire the subs in, so we needed to see what we were looking at to try and seal off the box.

After the trunk was done we need to move to the doors: One reason was to run the new speaker wire to the Hertz Components, and another was to seal off the doors to essentially turn the doors into a sealed/deadened box.

Than it was back to the trunk, to begin deadening the floor in prep for the subs, battery rack, and amps.


IMG_0223_zpsd22f31cc.jpg


Had to deaden the rear deck as well, really didnt want any type of vibrations or rattles if we could help it.

More deadening in the trunk, and side walls


IMG_0235_zpsf8f2e100.jpg


Had to build a plate for the 6.5 components to be able to fit where the 6x9's were. (rear speakers)

Time to start building the box! We used 3/4" birch, didnt use MDF mostly because of the weight. Plus I haven't used it before.

Carpeted the part of the box that people will see, trying to keep the build as clean as possible the whole way through

IMG_0282_zps42cdcf3d.jpg

Carpeted and kept clean


IMG_0322_zps74ef0d8e.jpg



Than we needed to make a trim panel for over the battery rack, decided to use the Vmax shield as the cutout.


IMG_0319_zpse88de9ac.jpg


Finished, minus a piece of plexi, and some LED's

It is sealed off completely. I did all the work :).

lower tuning is just hard. I was surprised how loud 145 sounds at 35hz, and how quiet 145 sounds at 50hz.
