SnowDrifter Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) I am looking for a car with GOBS of trunk space (like a ford Taurus or more) It also has to have a fold down center console, and preferably with a pre existing hole into the trunk I plan on make a box with a square port going through the hole, into the cab Tuning will be at 31hz, and will most likely hold 2 12s. It is also a first car, so the cheaper the better. And the car being manual is highest priority. A car that can handle a dual alternator bracket would be best since I can wire 2 electrical systems into the car so the lights won't dim. I was just going to hook up 2 mechman alts: One dedicated to the sub batteries, and one for the oem electrical along with the mids and highs. Price range would preferably by below 4k, but I can go a bit over if there is good reason. Beyond that, it's a bit high for a first car. And rwd / awd would be greatly preferred over front wheel drive. (Mods, if this is the wrong forum, feel free. It is general audio, and the car IS based around speakers, so I figured it can go here) Edited December 7, 2010 by Christopher Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hdorre Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Most Fords and GMs are able to hold dual alts. How much power do you plan on running? I highly doubt 2 alts are necessary.

JaM Customs aka mprete Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 if you want a lot of space look for a jeep wrangler and take out the back seat... and use a sealed box with 2 or 4 15s and keep your windows open lol Quote 2001 dodge ram 2500 quad cab 5.9L V8 my build logs... dodge build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/94914-mpretes-2001-dodge-ram-2500-quad-cab-build-log/ trik build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/94447-trik-build/page__p__1298547__hl__trik__fromsearch__1entry1298547 box building thread- very cool designs (PICS!!!) http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/95713-2d-or-3d-box-pics/page__gopid__1318152entry1318152 i am a mechanic, pm me if you have questions or anything.

SnowDrifter Posted December 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 It HAS to be a car, like a sedan or a coupe. And needs to have a separate trunk, not like a small hatchback like the subaru outbacks are. I don't want anybody seeing my subs and wanting to jack them. I can lock a trunk, and fold up the rear seat so it basically looks stock. As for power,I plan on running about 2kw to the subs, and 1kw to the mids and highs. This way, I should get minimal voltage drop at idle, and none at higher rpms, and it still leaves some extra power for anything else I should want to put on the car like HIDs and such. Besides, any level of headlight dimming just tweaks my OCD side so no end, so I would rater have too many alts than too little. Then that way I can keep the most trunk space by having either fewer or smaller batteries.

Quote he wouldnt be the first to say they did a 167 with a system like that (one that clearly DOESNT), but i have to say, he didnt beat me anywhere, ive never competed against the guy. If he thinks his does a 167, mine would probably put him in a coma. :hairtrick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainzPlanetz Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 grand am's have big trunks and the rear seat folds down and you have a back seat still. Absolute biggest I could fit in my 03 GA trunk firing into the cabin without having to build in the trunk was about 3.5 cubes, and that was a really tight squeeze. It was for a 15" DC XL.
