'95 Caddy Deville - 2 Fi Qs, Custom Trunk

[CadillacMatt 10+ year member]

Hey Ladies and Gents... I'm finally doing something worthwhile enough to warrant a build log! Don't expect too many rapid updates as I'm gonna be putting this arrangement together within the next month-month and a half, but the progress will be sure and steady.

Current plans:

1/0 KLMX Knu Cable (running it tomorrow)

2 Fi Q 15's off of AQ 2200D amp (waiting to order amp)

Custom baffle on rear deck, ported thru to trunk

Custom trunk design - carpeting (forest green & eggshell white) wood veneer accents, amp racks, Damplifier Pro

MECHMAN ALTY! About 3 weeks from now //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

In the future: Front stage upgrade, head unit upgrade?

1995 Sedan Deville, 4.9L engine, 20" Akuza Wheels

This was what I had in here before (I know man, come on give me a break, it was before I joined this wonderful site //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif)

I have two Fi Q 15's on order, and I just completed a ported box build with a design from Fisher Customs (all of the in-process pics from the build can be found here.)

Chris from F/C's original SketchUp file

Completed Box, 7cuft @ 32Hz

The brains - Pioneer DEH400UB - Not the greatest but it plays IPOD //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Running a pair of cheap Kenwood 5 1/4's and some RF Punch 6x9s off of a 4 channel Infinity 300W amp. Would like to tackle this next but it's a whole different animal //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

Please stay tuned... I expect the Fi's this week or early next week and I will keep this thread updated. If you can give any advice I will gladly welcome it, and thanks to all who have helped me thus far!

I'm not really a fan of rims, but I guess it's a step up from the stock POS's.

And if you're gunna double baffle, might as well flush mount it.

Some nice stuff arriving. Nice looking car as well; Looks so much better with those rims on it!

AQ2200D. Drained myself dry getting these Fi's but I wanted to get that big purchase out of the way. I might be broke ATM but I'm broke and happy //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I've heard nothing but great things, thanks to many fine people here on this forum //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Yeah, people either love or hate rims but you are right about the stockies. And I was debating a flush mount but fitting the box in heighth-wise was also a major factor //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Gonna be a while before it actually sees power but that will be a great day in history //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

i miss my caddy's... gonna be a dope ride

Yes she is a constant work in progress I love Caddys //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I will keep you all posted, next Friday I plan on ordering the AQ amp, some Damplifier Pro (for the trunk floor/walls) and some carpeting to cover the box and two-tone the trunk (eggshell white/forest green with wood veneer accents //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif).

Two weeks after THAT I am planning to order a Mechman alty (250amps I'm presuming) and the remaining Damplifier/carpet for the trunk lid.

Definitely want to take it slow and do things right the FIRST time... I've gained quite a bit of knowledge here and would not wanna screw it up by being impatient //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

Nice Caddy....I miss my old 89 and 91 Caddy. I was going to get another Caddy but instead I will be putting a nice system in the truck. The rims really do make the Caddy look nice. Keep up the good work.

 

[HellsRise 10+ year member]

Very nice. I like the rims too; made a huge difference with the car's looks.

Wow that sub/amp combo is amazing, how much you think everythings going to cost all together?
