Cool beans!

The goal 140. My previous attempt netted me a 135 and change at 32Hz. You can see my previous build here: Original Build This time I'm upping the anty with a pair of 18s and double the power. A mind boggling 900 watts. That's 900 old school class A/B watts via US Acoustics USB line. Why you ask? Because, they're cheap. The 2150 average about $100 bucks on ebay and the 2080 were about $40, which includes shipping. Here is a run down of the setup: The car: 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cierra A.K.A The Cream Puff Head Unit: JVC KD-HDW10 A basic CD player with a built in HD tuner and RCA outputs Amps: 2 US Acoustics USB-2085 both at 80 watts x 2 @ 4ohms (mids and highs) & 2 US Acoustics USB-2150 both at 450 watts x 1 @ 4 ohms (subs) Fronts: Powerbass 3.5" coax in stock location Rear: MTX Thunder Axe 5-1/4" components Subs: 2 Fi IB3 18" Electical: Stock I'll start off with a quick tear down. Amps coming out. My beloved US Acoustics USB-4085. They'll be back later on for a fully active system experiment. Bye, bye Ascendant Audio Atlas 15s. You were truely one of a kind. You will be missed. Here is my artistic shot from the trunk. The great wall coming down. This on is at a funny angle A side by side of what going in versus what came out. Here is a side shot. the 18 dwarfs the 15. Here is the backside. I've got my fingers crossed that these 18s will make some serious noise. More to come.

I heard someone's face melted off because of all the bass. Good turn out. SSA well represented. Bummer I forgot my camera. It was great seeing everyone. Catch you all at the next show.

I will be taking water probably be getting there around noon

Sux getting effed over.

At first I was like "Whoa!" now I'm and

Cute little foker. Bummer bout the neo prices.

Who's at work effin around on the net?

Lol! I remember that story. That was some funny sh!t. Thanks bro. Sundown has a section there. No worries fellas. I appreciate the kind words. See you all Saturday. Muahahahah!

[official thread jack] Fellas, As some of you already know, I am in the official running for system of the month (SOTM) over on the SMD site. I could really use your votes. For those you you who haven't already, consider posting a vote for me. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance and carry on. onebadmonte SOTM July 2011 [/official thread jack]

I've got an umbrella and some baseball caps. o_o

Sorry I'm late to the party fellas, I got side tracked when I learn of some gardening forums while reading this thread. This build has been bad ass. I must admit tho this is my fav pic of them all. Your one lucky guy to be piloting this bad boy.

So, who is running what class? I'll probably be in stock 1801-up. Yeah, right. Because of the battery rack I'm either in SB5 or Super Modified 4001+. Good luck to all those who make out. Have fun and say hello, most importantly drive safe.

Here is a link to the instruction manual. McBay Coil Spacers The second page is for trucks & suvs. It says bottom for suburban. I really don't think it makes a difference. The spring is taller than than the space available when the rear suspension is a full droop.

Lol. Thanks bro.

Really? The manual said for my app to put them on the bottom. Dang it man, now you've got me questioning what I read. I'm gonna have to double check the manual now. Wonk, wonk, wonk....

Build looks good. I like the floor. I can help to the think the floors helped in the DEE BEEZ department.

Hey bro, it was good meeting you. Bummer it was hotter than hell. We'll need to chat more car stereo stuff when you get a chance. Maybe a little test and tune before the next show. Yeah, it was a small show. The sanctioning organization is called StreetSPL. You can check them out here. They seem to have shows in San Antonio every other month. It's pretty cool. A good reason to get together and bump the system without worrying about the police. You should come to the next show, when ever it is. Your "new to you" Nightshades will kick some a$$.

Right on bro. Glad you enjoyed it. I'lll have to keep an eye out for your build. Thanks.

Whaaa?! You in a Vee-Dub? I would have never guessed it. What happened? Did the dark side start offering cookies? Just messing. I have to admit, lighter colors on Caddys are better. One thing is for sure you're gonna need to update that color on yours. As sweet as it is, every time I see it, the color makes me think Ford Crown Victoria. Ughh, makes me cringe. It's a sweet Caddy for sure.

Those are nice little cars. They were all the rage back in high school. Ahh, the good ol' days. Can't wait to see how you pull it off. Good luck with the build.

Moment of truth. This is Usaci style, drivers side door partially open meter in the passenger side kick.

Thanks. The RCAs are a few pages back. I used some Neutik ends and some microphone cable to make them. The Crescendo popped once when I first turned it on, that it. It's been flawless. Yeah the fuses do take some effort to change. Realistically, if one lets go I'd be more in a hurry to figure out why it went than changing it. Again thanks. Lol! I guess I should have gone with some 18's instead.
