well its not going to be a spl or sq car at all, i just want it loud and sound good. and your right he he thinks he knows everything and don't know shit, but i gotta make him happy. he's a friend of the families and he's a repeat customer that isn't affraid to go big! my next project will be to re-do his avalanche now thats gonna be fun! stay tuned for that one!

well the guy had 2 of the soundstream 4000 amps on 4-15's in his avalache and i metered it on the termlab and he was hittin 152.1, so he knows what loud is and i already told him that he wasn't gonna get the same performance because of the the car being a converible, but i was gonna try to get him as loud i as i can. i can make his trunk rattle thats easy but i want to get it loud in the cab as well, and i don't care about the roof tearing. he's already aware of what may happen, now it my job to get them to happen. also how are those sa's musicly? can they get loud and still sound good?

i gotta guy wanting me to a build for him in his 73' caprice convertible and i need some suggestions! he wants to go big but he doesn't like ported boxes for some odd reason. now he's seen my other builds and he expects it to be as loud as those. i might be able to convince him to go ported but it really has to slam. here's the catch, it all has to be in the trunk! but the good news is he has an open wallet. im thinkin 8-12" sa's and about 12000 watts rms. any suggestions out there? and its about 12 cuft of space in the trunk

I dont know how it will sound with a convertible but I would think you will lose a lot of sound. Why would he want the system to slam hella hard but not want ported enclosures? That sounds like a lot of shit to go in a trunk also. I think you can pound with a lot less. 2k-5k watts and a couple of 18's would slump pretty good in the right circumstances. But if you love to build and he loves to spend...get out the grinder and start stuffin. There ya go. You will loose ALOT of sound and possibly tear the top itself. You need to talk to him and find out his goals, and why he doesn't like ported enclosures. I see NO logical reason why he would want 8 12"s and WANT to be sealed. Beyond the fact that he could say " I got 8 12"s in my truck and it's rattles like King Kong and Godzilla back there thumpin." Which would sound like absolute trash. I have a stern passion for hating trunk rattle. i agree i hate trunk rattle, but this is what he wants. he wants the trunk to rattle. i think i am just gonna have to convince him to go ported and do 8- 12" in 12cu.ft. @ about 34 hz giving them right around 16000 watts. hey he wants to spend the money and im not gonna tell him no. thanks guys
