Lurker no more! 2002 Galant Audio + Stance build

Hello!

For a while now I've been lurking around, but never really made any build threads on any forums. As soon as I can, I'll put up a build thread for my 2002 Galant. I've had this car for 6 years now and have loved it since day 1. Not really conventional, but I turned my gilly into a bass car.

6 12" NVX subs on right around 9k watts of power. She does alright, 155.6dB :P

Heres a few pics:

I'll try to get a build thread going in a few...

Welcome! That stance + wheel combo looks nice!

Ok Soooo I havent posted in a while... Might as well update what I've done. I interned for DB Designs, an extreme car audio install shop. We teamed together to make something ridiculous

TL:DR, I wasnt loud enough, got louder.

Old wall was torn out:

After measurements, the plan is to run 12 12" subs. Yes, 12 12"s:

Short there after... broke the first windshield. Managed to get 157.7 dB out of her on the first fire up. Little to no tuning on the box, just threw a port in to make it to the show.

Completely destroyed the windshield brace:

Fixed that, 2 weeks later... Broke the roof at a show in NC, now at 158.4 dB

Removal of AC and Power steering to make way for 2 new alts:

Now to start on the doors. Plan was to run 6 8" speakers and 2 tweeters per door. Ended up fitting a horn in as well. DS18 Pro-x8.4mb speakers, DS18 Pro-tw310 tweets, DS18 horns

Installed a stripper pole to hopefully prevent more damage to the roof and windshields

Also racing seats to allow for the new doors to clear:

Quiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite a tight fit... but now, with the stock alt, I have a total of 810a of charging. During demoing, it keeps up fairly well and hold about 14.0-14.1V on music.

Sitting pretty :)

DAMN This is sweet!! And I thought my trunk was full with 2 15's :005: I like how this is a direction very few people take with their G, looking good! Did you replace the 8GB bumper with an 8GA?

There is a MASSIVE update post. Went way harder with the audio build. For some reason the video posted before the other post (its pending moderator approval I think).

Yessir! When I first picked her up the front bumper was all screwed up. Found a paint matched 8GA front bumper, grill, fenders, headlights, and a few other parts for $80 lol. Personally like the 8GA bumper way more.
