18" Zv4 in a Pontiac Vibe (Updated with vid 08/09/14 on page 6!)


Recommended Posts

I have built countless systems for myself and friends, but only metered one time. It was back in 99 when I had one 15" Atomic Thunder Shocker on a chrunch amp. If memory serves correctly I hit 141.5db. I'm thinking this should be a bit louder. :P

Awesome news. My buddy just called me. He works at the shop that the tint is being installed in. He said he is able to install the Viper 5706 today for me. This is a huge weight off of my shoulders because I didn't know when I would have time to do it. Today is a good day!

Tint and alarm are done. XS Power batter came today along with my SHCA remote cable. It's shaping up to be a busy weekend for me.

I went with 35/5. Very happy with the results. Picking up the BC2000D tomorrow after work. Hopefully I will get word tomorrow also about the alt and wires. Anyone ever order a DC Power alt? How long does it usually take? Also same questions about Execution Audio cables. So far, I am most impressed with Sky High Car Audio's shipping turn around. Super fast!

Just got shipping confirmation that my Execution Audio power wires and speaker cables were delivered today. Also, the BC2000D and both sets of JBL components should be waiting for me to come home. This weekend will be a busy one! :)

looks good. i had one of my btl 18s in a hyundai accent hatchback. 6.5 cube box tuned to 33 htz and it slammed good. did about a 145 on the meter. try to find a local alternator repair shop for a higher output alt. maybe see if they can even rewind your current one or get a bigger stator.

t-line are cool when they work but i would just stick that sub in a slot port box and go ham.

edit: stator

Oh i know how a 12v system works I did take 3 years of electronics in High school hands on and some in college and also worked on cars in college an always got A's to B's in each class.

Well I have already placed in the order for the alternator so I will just wait for it to arrive. With the big order coming in today, I should have most of the stuff I need to get rolling on this build. The biggest problem I have is that I live in an apartment without a garage. I have to drive to my dad's house to use any garage time I may need. I'm thinking of just going there this weekend and taking over the garage to get the rest of the car deadened and wire it up. Trying to decide if I want to run one set of components in the stock locations and then fiberglass the second set in later, or just do it all at once and get it done. Decisions, decisions.

I called Execution Audio today and they said that my stuff should be delivered tomorrow. I was never given a shipping order or tracking number when it shipped so I don't know who dropped the ball there. Hopefully tomorrow I get the rest of the cables and I can start wiring this stuff up!
