Welcome to my newly updated page. This Cavalier's system was designed and constructed to be a sound quality competition vehicle. The day after completing the install it won 2nd Place at the 2006 IASCA World Championship (Rookie Class). With a little more tweaking and tuning I hope it will be a strong contender for a World Championship in 2007 and beyond.
Here is a before pic of my 2004 Cavalier Sport.
Some other interior pics prior to install beginning.
Now let's gut everything!
My new system was built by Jeff Smith and Calvin Thomas of Audio Designs Atlanta in Stockbridge, GA. If you have a chance check out his web site at www.audiodesignsofatlanta.com.
For the head unit we chose the Alpine DVA-9861 because of it's reputation as a great SQ unit and it's optical outputs.
The front stage speakers will consist of the Hybrid Audio Technologies Legatia 3" mid-range driver and L1 tweeter.
The mid-bass in the doors will be a pair of MB Quart 6.5" QSDs.
The subwoofers will be a pair of Image Dynamics IDQ 12".
Finally the amplifiers used will be from the new Zapco Digital Reference series. A DC750.2 to power the subwoofers, and a DC650.6 (6 channel) to power the front stage. You can check out these awesome amplifiers at http://www.zapco.com/.
