Are you talking those numbers with the bandpass or the ported I have now? I don't think I can get that high with the ported. But if I do that would be SWEET!

Just a small update... alarm still needs to be finished before I can do much more. Fuse holders and SAZ3000 are on its way.

Just got the grounds for the batteries done.

Between the box and the factory sheetmetal holding those electrical connections I don't see much sound getting into the cabin.

Have you considered removing the sheet metal and relocating them, or at least cutting out some holes?

Nice build though....

whats the gas mileage like in that thing? V8? Just curious, because ive been debating on a few different cars for a DD. Would love to get one of the old school caddys. Looks like you have a 2-door? Cant remember what they are called? Nice install BTW.

He probably gets 20ish miles to the gallon, I know I do. Eldorado, btw.

Rear deck has a big cut out in the middle and 6x9s are removed for more air to pass into the rear deck into the cabin. Box was designed wide as possible and as low as possible so all teh air goes up through the rear deck.

As for MPG.. well I was getting 14-15 but I have been bringing her back to life, should be more like 16-17 now with the tune-up and all that good stuff. It is a 2 door Eldorado //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif. I really wish I got 20mpg in it. I got about 24mpg on the interstate with full system before tune-up.

What ya'll think, option A or obtion B? Excuse the wiring mess it still needs to be cleaned.

God both those pics came out bad..

Also I got to listin to the 100.4 hooked up, with just one horn.. still gotta tweak the alarm before other horn goes in... but OMG! this thing is extremely loud with just one horn and I finally got the Germs to give me the mid-bass I've been looking for, I can't wait until they are broken in.. Active FTW.

Build looks real good. You have inspired me to try the ID max horns as well. I was going with a fully active setup with a pair of Mach 5 MLI65s and Dayton tweeters, but I may have to change all that.

Do you think the Mach would match up as far as a midbass driver with the ID pros?

I know that the Mach had a break up at around 3.2hz I believe, but I know the horns are crossed over lower that than.

Thats going to be serious when you finish nice job
