1992 Mercury capri Build and history

[michigancapri92]

Ok so im finally going to post up some puctures of my capri build and some older pics of where i started out from. Im 19 and a super poor college student and hope that i can get a build like some other members have but for now im happy with what i got.

It all started out with some speakers and amp that i got for free from my brother

then i got a bunch of plexiglass for free so i said let me try something out

terrible idea ... looked good but very dirty so scratch that.

WOOD !!!

looked alot better !!! i was VERY happy with it !!!!! then i got a capacitor and that helped alot :-))

helped alot but it was still a very shitty amp but it sounded good for the time being.

[michigancapri92]

Speaker box and amps in place

The door speakers
