6 sp4 18s, 6th order, lots of glass and plexi

Recommended Posts


So, I don't post much on the forums much anymore, too much butthurt, doesnt seem to be the case here however... 

 

 

 

But this truck I just bought has a huge following, and I know a lot of people liked it, so I figured id make a build log for it..

 

Im 20 years old and in college, Ive been in car audio since I was 16, and always build my own vehicles, my last being a

 

1999 Honda civic, build consisted of..

 

80 prs

2 Dc Audio Level 6 18s NO wall

Ampere Audio 7500.1

2 Ampere 125.4s

Crossfire 10s and Exodus 7" midbasses in custom door pods

lots of fiberglass and cool shit..

 

it was a beast. but I got in a car wreck, the car got totaled, and here I was just finishing up the final touches on the build, all the way back at square 1.. so once I got paid from the accident, I decided to see if I could find something that was somewhat pre built so that I wouldn't have to spend so much time building it, which is very hard to find.. a build that I would trust, as well as the vehicle being reliable, etc..

 

Eric lives semi local to me and I had heard his burb once before, and absolutely loved it. I loved how loud it was, and how low it could play, was exactly how I wanted my civic to play. So we worked out a deal and I ended up buying the burban.. but you see im a builder at heart, I don't wanna go to shows and have people ask me if this is Erics old burban.. so im gonna be modifying a lot of stuff. and improving a lot as well..

 

starting from the front of the truck, I bought it with

Both dual alts, execution 270 and Excessive 300

all wire

1 northstar group 34

80 prs

door panels

sp4s and box

sundown 200.4

buss bars for batteries

 

so enter my equipment

I took the execution 270 out and sold it, replaced it with a DC XP 270, the truck now charges at 15.0 opposed to 14.2

Im adding another Northstar g34 under the hood.

will be changing all the CCA wire out to 1/0-4/0 welding cable

leaving the 80 prs, moving it down to the center console, ipad dash with SMD OM-1 coming soon

door panels are currently built for 4 10s, and 4 super tweets, probably keeping these the same however they will be getting refinished, painted, and wrapped, possibly some plexiglass as well..

The box is for sure staying for a while, the sp4s MAY be getting swapped for some Team Fi 18s, not sure on that yet..

I have a Ampere Audio 7500 on the subs for now.. will probably be upgrading power as well, secret for now.

5 eaton 135 ah batts going in back with the bussbars I bought from Eric

 


The Burban up to when I bought it (SMD BUILD LOG)

 

 


 

My civic build to give you an idea of my build skills and attention to detail, along with whats to come in the burban (SMD BUILD LOG)

 



 

 

What you can expect out of this build..

A lot of fiberglass and plexiglass, a lot of bad ass fabrication, and a lot of exterior modifications and upgrades.

 

This is a bad ass build now but its about to get a hell of a lot better :nuts::morepower1::detail::2girls:

 

 

Build log for the burban and my Honda posted below


 

right when I got it home

money shot!

got it home that night, everything was fine.. next morning the water pump fails, and the driver door stops opening correctly, I think she was pissed at Eric for selling her, lmao.. So my good friend and owner, Cody Breedlove, of the team I am on, Team Heavy Flex, helped me change out the water pump... wasn't bad at all

So since i daily drive this truck, play it damn near full tilt everywhere i go, and LOVE lows, ive caused quite a bit of destruction since ive gotten the truck, broken alot of shit lol.

 

 

the passenger door has gotten the worst rip in it i have seen to datehad to fix that, buddy of mine cody had an extra door he gave me, is red but the trucks getting plasti dipped and im gonna do all around the doors and ledges, so no red will be seen.

 

 

 

in the new door there is 72" of all thread welded into place, my welds are garbage, as this was the first time i have ever welded. but i am learning so take it easy on me lol, isnt going to be seen just needed it structurally retarded strong.

 

I also seam sealed, and tack welded 16 gauge steel  plate into place in the door, I have 22 sq ft of tantric deadener waiting at the house for me to put in as well. i want this door to be stupid strong, it has to be since i hot seat demo people all the time (window rolled up) and so that door gets BEAT on..

anywho, onto pics :BART:

old door that Eric built, small metal rod welded into place and tantric deadener as well

Interesting build!  How did you come up with your design for the series-tuned 6th order band pass?  What are the tunings, port area, and internal volumes you are shooting for?
