Mecury Marauder or Impala SS

[OC*SS 10+ year member]

hey UCP: how is the caprice at getting the bass in the cabin? or if anyone else has experience i would like to see some numbers or something to give me a comparison. i remember wanting a caprice since i was 16...when i finally got my license at 18, i instead got an explorer sport...still regret it to this day. not thats its a bad car, but i could of picked up a running 73 glasshouse for $2500, but my mom told me i was not allowed to spend my OWN money to buy a car i wanted. im 21 (almost 22) everytime i see a caprice/impala (73,75,96) i realize the mistake ive made
oh wait, undercoverpunk, you got a station wagon...hmmm anyone with a trunked one got any info about how much bass the trunk traps?

I don't have any technical numbers as I've never had my Imp metered, but the trunk does trap a lot of bass. The back seat doesn't fold forward, and there is a sheet of steel between the back seat and trunk, as well as the package tray.

I cut a hole in the package tray and made a port for it, to let the bass in. I have an Orion XTR 2400 (about 26-2700 watts), to two 12" RE SX's in an enclosure built by Toxic Tuan on this site (no idea on the specs), and it's still pretty rediculous, in a good way.

Wattslok187, who commented a few pages back on this thread, has a niiiice setup in his Imp...Way more elaborate than mine. That $hit bangs hard (no ****).

SS gets my vote. I have a 96 and i love it. The mercury looks to much like a cop car. Plus, I'd rather push a chevy than drive a ford. LOL:laugh:

They are 22" x 9.5" RVM HRRD-ON's. They were only made/sold for a quick minute, by an ebay company. I have never seen any other vehicle with them, ever, except for another Impala SS in Atlanta, on http://www.impalassforum.com.

They were cheap too, like $650 shipped for all 4, brand new in the box! **** tires costed me more than the wheels!

I bet the cops love you haha, but seriously it all depends on what u want looks performance etc.
I love the way a marauder looks. Yeah u can say it looks like a Crown vitoria, but an Impala looks just like a caprice(please dont argue about that). Speed wise well it depends on what u consider fast. Both are ****in sedans granted I havent been in either I doubt I would be like OMG this car is fast even after mods.

Most people I know that drive these cars the last thing on they mind is performance. All they want is 22s, 24s, screens, candy paint, system, you know gangsta shit.

I would take a marauder hands down. There were less than 12,000 made and that make it a very rare car.

aren't you the 17yr old kid who had there mom buy them a corvette and claim to live in the "hood" you know what come to kellers on a saturday night and tell that to a few of my impala owners friends you loud mouth. Hell come in that corvette you claim to own. If you don't think a low 11 is fast you are a stright up liar. Once my motors finished come meet me at Yellow Belly and we can see how "at home" you are in the hood with your "vette", we can race the and I will make your parents car look like what it is, stock with some goofy *** generic wheels on it. I have an impala and I don't want 24's screens and kandy paint. Quit talking out of your ***.

Next time INC DFW has a meet at Big T's you can come I will send you a PM, bring your corvette and that loud *** mouth of yours.

Evan gave those to his brother and he painted them to match his car, evans on some 2 piece joints now, I didn't know if you knew that or not because I haven't seen you post in a long time.

God Hand aren't you the guy that said "what do you want performance or looks"

That explains the corvette, you know I am sure those cast 20's really help the performance of your parents corvette.

Yeah he painted them DCM right? I still lurk pretty much all the time, but haven't posted because I can't log in since the new forum rolled out, and can't get through to Hack //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/verymad.gif.3f39c5c2fd57527b671fad3efdfac756.gif!

Thanks bro that is quite the compliment. I really like them, and get compliments all the time. I like how they're not chrome, they're brushed aluminum with the insides of the spokes powder coated black, and have a nice 5" lip.

Eventually though when funds allow, I plan on moving on to some nice 22" 3-piece forged wheels, or some polished aluminum 5 spoke wheels (more hot rod/musclecar style).

I am in Orange County.

George, if you're worried about getting bass through the rear seat, you could always do what I did and put them in the rear deck.

ive seen that before. it actually looks pretty clean. only thing i dont like is that they are kinda screaming "steal me".

5% tint on the rear windows solves that
