Up for sale is a 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier LS sport.  The real value in this car is in the audio system itself.  If you piece out the audio system you should get the car for close to free.  If the issues described above are addressed, car blue books for 2577.00.  Audio only, not including alternator, wiring, or fuse and fuse holders are valued right now for 2895.00 for a total value 5472.  That is conservative on the audio system value. This car has been built with the idea of audio competition in mind.  Unfortunately, I never got the opportunity to actually compete with the vehicle.  I have many friends that have done so,  and most describe the sound of this vehicle as something that some people spend their whole life trying to achieve.  It is truly spectacular.   I will get into the details of the audio system shortly.  

First, the car itself is in good mechanical condition with a couple of exceptions.  The car needs paint.  I plasti dipped the car to get it looking as good as possible as cheap as possible.  If that is not for you the car can be peeled and the original paint revealed.  The original paint job is peeling off at the hood, roof, and deck lid where the sun has peeled off the clear coat.  There is also an area around the gas tank that started to peel due to fuel I assume.  These ares have been sanded, and smoothed out prior to coating the car with the plasti dip.  The plasti dip protects the rest of the paint in the meantime.  

Other issues the car has is that the power window motor on the drivers side has started to slow down and most likely will need to be replaced soon.  There is also a tear in the roof liner, a small hole in the dash on the passenger side, the heat deflector no longer deflects to the floor, and the car does burn oil.  I have been keeping track of it and checking it at every fill up.  

The good is that other than those things I listed the body is straight, no other mechanical issues, car runs and drivers great as is.  I just want to make sure that there are no surprises.  

About the audio system:

The goal in the design of this system was to achieve concert level volume with limited distortion. To achieve this goal required a ton of power. This system has been in construction since 2003. The car is 100 percent sound deadened with dynamat, mass loaded vinyl and closed cell foam. After nearly all of all the rattles were eliminated, the electrical system has been completely overhauled. Electrical consists of 2 XS D3400 batteries, a 250 amp alternator, 0 gauge wire, big three upgrade, and multiple fuses to protect the vehicle. 

Head unit is comprised of a Pioneer DEX P9 and a DEQ P9. Original retail on the head unit was over 2000.00. Sound quality is amazing, and the unit looks brand new. All wiring is Knuconceptz. The front stage is made up of custom fiberglass tweeter pods that hold the JBL 560 GTI tweeters and the waveguides that acompany this component set. The 560GTI mid is housed in a tightly seeled fiberglass kick panel enclosure. These mids alone sealed in the enclosure provide a nice kick to your chest. The doors have been modified to fit a 10" midbass driver with less than 3 1/4 inch depth. Currently both doors hold a 8" Melodic Acoustic Intimid8r midbass. These midbass drivers are outstanding and sound amazing. 

The substage consists of 2 JBL W10gtimkii subwoofer in a ported box designed by PWK designs. Amazing ouptut, depth and clarity. My favorite subs along with Boston Acoustics G5 and the JL W7. 

Powering the drivers are 3 PPI 900.4 amplifiers and JBL BPX 2200.1 for the subwoofers. Each channel of the 900.4 is bridged to an individual driver. Each tweeter gets 450 watts. Each mid gets 450 watts. Each 8 gets 450 watts. The two subs are seeing about 2600 watts of power total. RMS power of the system is a tad greater than 4000 watts. 

Over 100 hours have gone into the tuning of this system alone. 

Here is a list of the items and the original prices:

Pioneer P9 combo 2600.00
JBL 560gti 5 1/4 components 1299.00
Melodic Acoustic 8's 500.00
2 JBL W10gti 599 each
JBL BPX 2200.1 899.00
3 PPI 900.4 225.00 each
2 XS Power D3400 259 each
250 amp alternator 250.00
over 2000.00 in wiring and deadening

total 9400 approx not including installation. 

Install on a job like this would run around 5-6000 as nearly all of it has been custom fabricated. A good pair of kicks will cost 5-700. 

I am selling for 4200 OBO. I am going to try this post for a couple of weeks before I go ahead, yank all this stuff out and sell the car. Removing this system would be a travesty. 

More photos will be available by request. Serious inquiries only. 

Thanks for taking the time to check out my listing.

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.

Man surprises girlfriend with C7 Corvette

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

How would you react if someone just showed up at your place of work with a new, 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, complete with all the trimmings? While a lot of us would likely be flipping out over the still rare sports car, it's a fair bet many more of us would be responding like Pattie here, whose boyfriend stopped by her work to show her her new C7.
Speechless and shocked as she seems, she does end up taking it out for a drive, despite claiming she wasn't really outfitted to handle the car's seven-speed manual transmission at the time. From the sound of the video, we got the impression that she knew the car was coming, just not that it was anywhere near ready for delivery. It also, as Pattie says, seems like her boyfriend is more excited about the car than she (which, can we blame him?). Take a look down below for the full video of this C7 Stingray delivery.

Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.
