Well I'm new to 12volt.com. Thought I would share some pics of my system. It's still a work in progress, but will hopefully be complete in the next week or so. It's a 2000 Cavalier 2.2.

HU: Panasonic CQ-C8100u

In-dash Audiobahn ADM100T volt meter

In-dash Audiobahn ABD40X controller

Front doors: Audiobahn ABC6003N components

Rear deck: AS69X Audiobahn 6x9's

In the trunk:

Audiobahn A6004T 4-channel running the components and 6x9's

Bass driver: Audiobahn ABD40x

(3) Hifonics 1206D to the subs

Subs: (3) Audiobahn AW1000V 10" high excursion in three chamber sealed 1.25 cu per chamber

Power Acoustik PCF10x 10 Farad cap

Future upgrades: Big three... very soon, Optima yellow top.

I don't know. Guess I'll see what I'm not happy with later.

Dude, your system is sick. I love the stage setup you got on the front doors. With enclosures on your mids....you should catch the next IASCA comp. in your area and see what they think. Did you do this all yourself?

Ok, so I finally received the rest of my cables and finished the install...woohoo!!! Here's a few pics of the more or less finished project. I think I may re-do the panels on the amp racks. Want everything a little more flushed.

And this is my car. Well it's sounds and pounds great. Makes my eyeball's bounce. Still have to upgrade the Big 3. but I think I'll be ok without a 2nd battery. Voltage sits at 13.5 or so and with normal music may only drop to 13.2 on heavy hits. Bass cd drops it a lot lower, but that's expected. I figure the Big 3 upgrade should make a big difference.

Nice Install. You said you have the 2.2 that is more than likely only about a 65-75 amp alternator you have. I have a 2000 z24 with not quit as much pull on power i have the big three done and a deep cycle batt but still ended up having to go with a different alternator the factory ones for the cavs just cant do it. Look around for a local rebuild shop ask them how much to beef it up a little. I paid 110 for mine it now meters at 108 its plunty of power. The guy at the shop said he could wind it for about 125 amps of power but I didnt have the 160 he wanted for the work. Just my 2cents great job.

Thanks. It's supposed to have a 105 amp alternator in it. Even still I'm considering having it rewound. Might go with a Kinetik's battery for a second as well. Probably throw one in the trunk.
