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:

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

so that when the bass hits i can hear it and not a whole bunch of rattling from every piece of metal in the car. 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.
