Finally, the Saab. This car is my baby, it's a 5speed turbo 2.3l hatchback. At first I was just going to give it more power, but it has 173000 miles so it's not really worth it. The car has an awesome interior for acoustics so I started out wanting to have major SPL, then I heard what SQ is and well, this is what it's yielding...

First build

Box rebuild...

New box was 3.5 cubic feet 16sq. in. of port, tuned to 25hz It was an experiment to see if I could make a box to fit in the cargo cover spot.

that trunk lid was different.

[Autruche]

that trunk lid was different.

lol, Thanks! I did that one day screwing around. I had to make custom brackets for the lift cylinder and just used barn style hinges from menards to do it. I did it all for under $25, lol.

Here's what's in it now but I'm still deciding what will make it in there for the final build.

My 0 gauge

When i ran it under the car, I ran it inside of PVC piping to protect it from the elements.

In the back

My alternator, sure it's just a stock one, but it'll make it double the power until I get 2 H/O alternators.
