Hello! For those of you who don't know me my name is Mark and I am the man behind "Car Audio Fabrication" on YouTube. I have posted build threads before (like this one: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/topic/57168-video-build-log-fi-bl-rockford-fosgate-focal-knukonceptz-tip/ ) and if you have ever seen one you know that I love to mix in "How To" Videos throughout the build that describe the process and show each step. This build will be no different! well, it will a little bit because I am going to try to mix in a lot more pictures for your viewing pleasure! I love to help other car audio enthusiasts young and old, newb and veteran, so if you see something yo…

Bringing my build log over here from a few other sites SOme of the wood used A look at the subs mids amp Stripped the interior for a gallon of Spectrum from Second Skin

Pretty straight forward. Has completed just posting for a reference. Also this is my first wall build so its far from perfect

So here I am again, with my slow build. So what i have right now? Headunit: Blaupunkt mp52 - It's quite oldschool but does it work. Has a lot of settings and also 2x Aux in, 2x RCA outputs. Was used and got this with 35eur. In front dash i have Pioneer highs and in doors Pioneer 6,5" Mids. Running straight from HU at the moment. Total cost 45eur. On back i have Pioneer 5.1" Coaxial speakers, running straight from HU, Price 25eur. Riht now I am running old Kenwood 12" woofer from Toxic XT-1600 amp. Woofer 20eur, Amp 60eur. So this is budget build right now. I dont have pic from everything riht now. I will probably keep everything beside woofer. Maybe get Alpine T…

Hey guys ~ Haven't posted on here in a little while and figured i'd show you all what I'v been up to. Business has been good and I was fortunate enough to be able to construct this enclosure designed by the owner(s) of Phantom Soundz! This was going under the seat of a 2001 sierra cab, with the subs downfiring. Lot's of work went into this Let me know what you think! Shoot me any PM's if any of you are interested in getting something built! Enjoy! Dustin

Hello, Figured I would start a thread in here as I plan to log my install progress and plans. It's going to be a long slow process but I'm hoping to have the first part completed by the first or second week of June. What I have planned so far. SUB: 12" XCON Ported. AMP: RF t1500-1bdcp (running at 4ohms for now) Lc6i Damplifier Pro Trunk Kit. (plans to do the whole car over time) Stock Electricals... Future plans: More Damplifier Door Speakers all around Powered (not sure what I want yet) Possibly a second battery in the trunk (I have the ability to install an OEM fit and finish battery in the trunk.) Loooooong term plans: New Headunit. This weekend I will…

So this will be my second build log on this forum. I don't think I took as many pictures this time either. But here we go, here is what was originally in the car. Had this Fi BL for over 4 years now, I say its a 2008 model but I am not really for sure. Surround is messed up but the main thing, the coil is still clean. Box was given to me, tuning was ~40hz (eww) with sub installed. Had running on the RF-T1500bdCP I bought until I put in the truck, had it slamming though. ^^^^^^Yes I love 5-minute amp racks!!!! It's in the next pic too with a new paint job. LOL Then I broke out my Memphis MC 1.1100, was still slamming, just wasn't getting LOW, like…

After my break in, the false floor was contorted and would be a disaster to fix. On the plus side, this gives me a chance to redesign the box fixing the problems with the first one. To save space, this box will be sealed. It will be 2.3 cu.ft., ployfil-filled, and passenger side facing. Tomorrow I plan to get the wood and cut the boards up. My dead line is Saturday, as I move back to school on Sunday. From the rear of the vehicle, looking into the cab. The small box represents the battery and will be secured somehow. The "floor" extension is to secure the box from sliding/falling. From the passenger side at floor level. I will be returning the floor to stock.…

Been putting this off for a while. I have been contemplating on doing a wall then I said nah i'll just trade the sub and back to keeping it and doing something with it. Well here goes a buncha wasted time later and I finally decided to kick off the build. I decided to stay street and try something different for once. I will reveal my complete box plans once it is in the car. Time for pics.

You take 2 audio geeks, 2 cars with similar installs and 2 of the cheapest 10" speakers. Add some particle board, a huge port and try to lay the smack-down Here's how the box looks, 2 $20 subs, in a push-pull configuration. It's going to have to fit in the cargo area, initially designed for my car but my friend and I were both anxious to hear the thing before the wood glue cured and it's pretty awesome. The Honda will get a custom-fit box once I exhaust all the ideas in the Jeep. We even did 2 burps with a short port. Considering the end goal for the system is 142+ dB, how about some educated guesses on the actual score today?

So I have finished ordering all the things for the build on my 2011 Chevy Tahoe. Will be my first build and I am still learning as I go, have helped a few friends with some builds but nothing as invasive as this nor by myself but I am looking forward to it. I plan on doing quite a bit to my Tahoe in this first stage of my build, going to pretty much gut the entire truck shitloads of deadener, replacing all the factory equipment with aftermarket. Not going for a flashy look I want to truck to remain as stock looking as possible which suites me cause I have no clue about fabricating anything (maybe try some later). Anyway this is what I finally went with: H/U: Clarion NX702…

getting a new ride (hopefully a subaru wagon). anywho im looking to build a daily pounder might do some local shows. i was looking at a 5k2 and 2 zcons but finances are kinda tight to drop like 2k on gear. any suggestions would be appreciated or maybe someone stepped up to the evils and has a pair of 12's or 15's sitting in the basement or an old 5k amp . not hooked on ssa subs but i love the fact they are us made. looking to buy within days. sorry if its the wrong section. suggestions..tips.. tricks?

Just finished this up for a friend nothin fancy it's a budget build and it slams, it's one zv3 12" in a ported box with a crescendo 2k 0ga all the way to the battery has two batterys but the one already took a shoot, has a digital volt gauge and it drops below 10 on a low note but anyway here's some pics it gets the job done With the seats out Is fully sealed, no leaks that i could see so far

I figured I might as well start this build log too, it should help keep me motivated trying to keep both builds moving. This is my brother's vehicle and his 2012 Mod class MECA build. Equipment being used in this build: 230amp DC Power alt. stock under hood battery with a single Kinetik 1400 in the rear JVC HDR50 Kicker KS69 Soundstream pcx270.2 SSA Zcon 18" Sundown SAZ3000D (thanks Steve!) I only have a few pics right now, I'll get more soon. Some shots of the big 3 looking ugly with the tape and big washers, but that was only temporary. Power cable through firewall. More pics coming soon, possibly a step by step guide to doing a large case alt swap on the Dodge 2.0…

Just doing a basic build for my work truck. I've had several build in this truck buy never a nice, complete, good sounding build. No numbers, nothing crazy, just clean sound.

Im putting a system in my 2003 QC dodge pickup. Im putting in a 10" XCON and a Black Ice 1300.1 Amp which measures in at 16x8.25x2. I plan to raise the back seat a little over an inch with steel square tubing i have. I have 3/4" MDF, lifetime supply of 2oz cloth, liquid nail wood glue, and all of the odds and ends i need to build the setup, but im stuck on how i should shape the box/place the amp. I originally planned to do a setup just like this, until today when i remembered i had a split bench rear seat! And my rear seat..

Hey guys I am back and this time with a new vehicle! it is a Ford Escape 2010, v6 3.0 litre. The setup is: 2-12inch NS v1 2-SAZ2500 2-NSB90's A little bit about me I am now working with Arctic Combustion and I am a travelling service tech and I do any and all things related to boilers! So here is what I have to work with: 63x41, but after my tools on 33x41, and the 41 can go to 52 max, the wheel wells put me at 41" Here is the machine! it is a tan colour and yes there is a after market security system already installed (hench the blue light). So the jack was in an interesting spot, so it got moved batteries - NSB 90's Here are all the to…

When I started planning on this project 2 years ago, in the planning stages, I wanted 60+ and to bassrace 59.9, but since then I have taken it down a notch, wanting to build something that plays low ( Fla style), Loud and moves an absolute insane amount of air. What I started with Subs 8 DC Level 5 M1 Motors, with David from PSi working his magic on the rest. 8 18" recones 3 spider setup Amps - 4 SK2500.1s from Skar audio. The setup got down pretty good with these, but I needed more power, and less problems a single 300A Tenney that has yet to fail me A 4th order bandpass All Wiring and accessories were acquired from Audio Technix. over 100ft of OFC 1…

Hey everybody. I got into car audio about a year ago and have learned a lot. When I got my BL some people sounded interested in my build with my Camry. So here it is finially. I was waiting until I had some good pictures saved up to post. Cuz we all love to see those pictures. This will be from the start of my system to my most recent additions. Hope you all enjoy.

Thought I would post up some pictures of my build. Im pretty excited because its my first build and my first stereo system. Its going in a 00 toyota camry. its nothing fancy car wise. but I figure if I have access to a wood shop and such why not build it? heres whats going in it Alpine 9885 headunit pheonix gold octane R's 5.25 components with tweeters Hifonics TXi6406 Sundown audio SAZ-1000D 15 inch massive audio DMX stg2 CF subwoofer box is ported at 3 cubic feet tuned at 34Hz audio control epicenter I know the amp for the sub is kinda on the small side but it should do for now until i get a better sub and amp later on down the road when i get back to the states. right …
