Here's my '96 at a recent stereo competition. I hit 149.1 decibels and took home two 1st place trophies. Keep in mind this video was taken from a digital camera.

I work a lot with sport compacts - it is always great to see a "full-bodied" vehicle in comps...
Any other mods other than ICE?

Not much besides the audio upgrades. I haven't had much time to mess with it, I have two other cars that I'm also working on. I have a '98 Olds Aurora and a '79 Chevy Malibu. But the Caddy was just purchased about 2-3 months ago for $1,000. I put a 200 amp alternator in it, two runs of 1/0 gauge wire going back to the trunk, three Stinger batteries, 15% bronze metallic window tint, and a fresh tune-up. Now my next step is the rims. I'm stuck between putting some chrome 18-20" rims on it, or just getting some Vogue tires for the factory chromes. I don't have a ton of money at the moment with all these cars.

Which terminals are you refering to?
As far as $$$ goes, I get everything dirt cheap, usually 50% off retail price. I paid $140 for the alternator, $75 for each battery, $300 for each amp, $100 for each subwoofer, $125 for 60 feet of 1/0 gauge power/ground cable, I built the walls, and I paid about $125 for the Alpine head unit that's 60 watts x 4. The biggest thing I got raped on was the window tint, $249!! Not bad though, I go to these shows and crush these people that spent thousands of dollars on their systems. Feels good.

I love the old school look of the Vogues - plus it looks like you have 18s now...

Thanks. I know, the old blackwalls that were on here really made it look like less of a Caddy. Now I can ride with pride.

Nice lac and sick system! Let me ask a question, if you don't mind, how did you install your alpine HU? harnesses or hard wire?

I used a wire harness. I can't quite remember which one but I picked it up at best buy. They couldn't believe which harness the car needed, I don't believe my car was in the year range for that harness but it was the one I needed. I believe it was a 32 pin single plug harness but I can't remember for sure. Once I wired it up to the harness there was no power going to the head unit so I ran new power wires, the 12v switched to the pink ignition wire under the dash, and the 12v constant to the battery. Now it works great!

I got 2 15" DJL and a BOSS 3500 Watt Mono amp in my other car which I'm going to put into my Eldo when it gets a little warmer. I'm gonna run 2 Gauge wire and wire them down to 1 ohm. I'm gonna keep the box sealed however because i think it sounds a lot more clean and deeper than when it is ported, although that's just my opinion. And i also want to sound proof the trunk

You bought the GM 1988+ wiring harness rite ? because I need to buy one too and that's the one I'm guessing it is since the other one is for power speakers only.

Actually, the wall takes up the whole back seat area. The trunk has another wall I built that houses the amps and batteries. And I still have some trunk space left. Here's a few pictures:

nice job .. in $$$'s, what are we talking about?
BTW, recommend you INSULATE the terminals in the trunk AMPs ..
I am sure your system bangs, but you really nned to heed the advice and clean up the trunk area some. It would be a shame to loose you car due to fire because exposed wires are running loose.
IMO if you don't mind 1. Battery boxessince you know how to build a decent wall. 2. Reroute the 1/0 GA. to be hidden. 3. Countershink your Fosgate T's into the wall.
Now most of this cosmetic, but I am sure it will help at shows down the road in terms of presentation. Nicely done @ 149db's
