Chevy HHR any good for builds?

Tempted to get back into audio and was considering a Chevy HHR for a c-pillqr wall. My question is does anyone have experience building in one like what is the alternator situation like? I heard Mike at singer makes a 320 hairpin for it. Also 4 15's sound on the large side for a c pillar in this car? Thanks for any and all knowledge on this

So not enough room for a decent c pillar? I was just going to do four sa15's a lithium and a flatline FL2. I got three kids so b pillar is kinda out of the question lmao

Never seen a c pillar in one. My buddy had 4 zv4 12s cpillar in a Dodge nitro at one time. Was nasty. I couldn't imagine the hhr having any room for a c pillar.

Yup my buddy old Hhr did 160db+. 2.2 motor ran for 200k and still going strong. Custom dual alt bracket on it. Was a beast... the car peaked at 33hz... I know a few people that have Hhr like graham on caco and they don't like 40hz+ lol. They like 40hz and under

If your only doing a cpillar wall I would do 3 zv4-zv5 12s. 9 cubes with 105" of port tuned low like 28hz...
