well since i dont drive and the car sits for now, i thought id try to make it do 140's as a daily driver.. i plan to have it done in a month or so.. still gotta buy sum things and im open to options u guys have to help me get there.. anyways, i will be running a single RE HC 18" D2 in a 7cube ported box through the Arm rest.. i haven't got a amp yet, so what kinda power should i be looking for? and maybe sum box help/ port ideas? it will have the big 3 done, yellow top and 2nd batt in the back.

youre gonna love it. i just got rid of my Cadi like that. was running a 12" HC in 3.6@29. now its in my 99 Accord and sounds like a tin can full of nails when the bass hits

Cadi's are solid //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

Sub up, port through arm rest.

6.5-7cubes INTERNAL NET volume, tune ~33hz... give it ~1200-1600rms.

w00ts.

I tried to tell him that, but I dont think he thinks he has enough room for firing the sub up.

either way, he needs to do something with the stock 6x9's....like throw em in the trash and just leave the holes open for more venting and wave reflection off the back glass of the deck.

for sure........not only will it be better for air passage into the cabin....but if you leave them there there could possibly be some back pressure on the 6x9 cones from all the bass trying to push through.....that would lead to more disortion/blown speakers

take them 6x9's out...rear fill isnt nessessary at all as long as you have a good front stage.....

how many watts you running to it....if the box is good a 140 is easy with an 18 with appropriate power

your gonna break your car. i had a 92 sedan deville. the problem with these cars is the automatic trunk. it will break. the first week i had my system the trunk would go up and down while the subs were playing until the trunk motor burned out. you can fit it though. another problem i had was the plastic around the tail lights would pop out of place. good luck

the whole back of the car is plastic lol.. its already falling apart from my last system lol
