Build Logs

This is just a quick post on a S10 ext. cab that my son and I help a freind put together. He already had the subs (in a not so good box sealed). He had not done anything to help the electrical, and was very shy on amp power. So we did the Big 3, gave the boxes more air space, and he purchased a pair of affordable matching amps. Here are a few shots of the Big 3 electrical additions: By sefugi at 2011-02-26 By sefugi at 2011-02-26 By sefugi at 2011-02-26 By sefugi at 2011-02-26 By sefugi at 2011-02-26 Pic of the enclosure/amp rack. FlyBoy wanted the amps to mount between the subs at an angle, so we did our best. Sorry we don't have more pics, but were not planning a b…

Equipment- 2 12" RE SE D4, 1 Audiopipe AP1800, 1 set of MB Quart Ref 6.5" components, DEI xtreme 6002, 1 Kinetik HC1400 and HC1200 , PS2, 200-250 amp alt. Here is the car Inside the car bolted in with trim panel Start of the kick panels

As most of you know I had my DD 9518Z for sale. Well it sold, and I ordered two SSA ZCON 18"s for the PT. A good friend of mine and I started a "Team" but not a team. Lol. Were called "Southern Hertz". To get in our group wont be easy. But well worth it. Notice the shop I'm always working in LOL. This is just the start. :-) Well, I've always hated messy wiring, I know, I'm like the king of it. But it drives me crazy. So tonight. A friend and I decided to fix my issue. We started with this not to shabby. But could be better. Then went in order of these photos. Took everything out. Old amp rack. Batteries. All of it. Started work on amp rack/ battery box. Built it…

Hey guys, realised I never really started a build log, but I always wanted to.. So I figure its never too late to start and i can always go back and add old stuff in here that I already completed. Well Monday I got my Kinetik HC1400r in the mail and then installed it Tuesday afternoon before college! This thing is a beast for sure compared to Walmarts batt I was runnin up front

So I finally decided to start my first build log as my box is almost done and I've received most of the equipment. So far my build will consist of 2 15" SSA Icon 15" in a 7.2 cubic foot enclosure tuned to 32hz. The subs will be ran by a Crescendo BC2000D wired with one positive run of ofc Knu 0 guage and one negative run. Battery is a brand new xs power d2700, front speakers are hertz hsk components in front and hertz ecx in rear on a Rockford T15004. Also have a 250 amp alt from Mike Singer coming. Will post pictures later today. I'm open to suggestions and critisism as long as its constructive as I'm always looking to learn.

I received a phone call last night at work from a friend who I have not seen in several months. He moved for our company to start up a new facility. He has done may wild builds in the past some of which I ask him to post. He recently started an account here and ask me to start his build log. So far he has purchased: 8 Kicker cvr 15"s 2 Hifonics XXV Colossus amps Audio Control Epic-160 4 sets of Kicker ds650.2 Deka batteries (not sure of size) He is going to putting this in a Ford minivan and is currently planning on going with a sealed sub enclosure. I am sure that I have forgotten something, but once his membership is approved he will set the build straight. He is inte…

Well it's time for a rebuild. I am shooting to win MECA Street 5 finals this year. I set a state record so far this year with my two death penalty 21's. 148.6 at the headrest. Thats pretty good I think, and I am very happy with it being my first year competing. I have also picked up xs power as a sponsor, and am a member of Team DBs! Now to win the finals I am going to need to get louder. In the mid 150 range. So I sold the 21's and am getting 4 2010 model Death Penalty 18's, an will be running them off of my new 40.1!! And here is the start of the rebuild. Starting with the box.

So after finally getting the money together I'm beginning the build on my 1994 Ranger. My Wires came in yesterday. And my amp and sub stuff should be coming in tomorrow. Without further a due. Pictures of wires: KnuKoncepts wires: KnuKoncepts 4 gauge amp install kit: KnuKoncepts batt terminals and fuse, 1/0 gauge wire: 9 feet blue, 4 feet red. For TEH BIG TRE!! Woo! Not to hide whats gonna be doin the noise makin: FI Q12" (Pic before the recone. Waitin on FI shipment too) Amp pics as soon as she's delivered. And A pic of the truck for the build. : Hopefully this will tide you guys over til the real build starts tomorrow. Gonna get the big 3 in progress. and build…

My current build can be found here. Decided to try out a ZCON. I probably would not have bought one but I bought this used at a good price. USPS is holding the driver at their facility so hopefully tomorrow I can pick it up. Really going a different route with the enclosure as well. I picked up a few 8" aero ports from Adrian_D Enclosure specs : 4.11^ft tuned at 35hz The port opening is literally right beside the sub. I am very curious how this will work out. I suspect some funky things will happen, we will see. Port will be semi external and sub will be mounted inverted. I will eventually be powering it with my DC Audio 2.0K that I've had in my closet for four months. J…

The Car (pic is from a few weeks ago) My HU, AVN2210P, have had it for about a year now...

I have finally began to piece together the equipment for my next install. Being away at school makes it difficult to work on things, so slowly but surely it will get done. I'll try to keep this thread updated as I go along. To begin, the vehicle will be a 2002 Ford Explorer. The equipment that I am installing: Two 12" Fi Qs Orion 2500D Orion 8004 AudioControl EQX I began by tearing the entire out so I could lay this down:Two rolls of RAAMmat BXT and 9 yards of Ensolite. Here is how the truck looked originally: I began in the back and worked my way up front. In some photos you will see I used Spray Foam to fill in some of the space in the panels. I then l…

This build will not be a rushed one.. I want to take my time, cause I rushed my last build. I have learned alot of stuff from other forums, but from the little time I have been looking at the amazing builds here.. I know I will be busy soon getting this beast running before any audio goes in, but I have also been working on some ideas.. It's not for sure cause if I can get to it I have been in contact with Mike Singer to design me a 4thorder for 12 12's.. I probably will be using some Alpine type R's (older models swr-1242d) for awhile until funds allow me to go further.. Mike said that using the alpines would not be a bad thing cause they do so well in sealed enclosures…

well, havent started the install, still waiting on the battery terminals, some ring terminals, d block, comps, some speaker wire, and of course gotta find an install sleeve and trim ring the douchebag didnt send me with the HU, got some lined p just waiting to see if the guy ever gets back to me. but heres some pics. I am also probably going to wait til I get some CLD tiles for the doors to install the comps, and the box is going to be somewhere around 3-3.5 cubes at 32-35. still gotta make a decision on that. but heres some pics of what Ive gotten so far. the odd sub is just a RF S212S4 to compare the size of it.

ookay thanks to mr James bang again for his fabulous cuts, i can now put this box together.... again sorry bout the bad pix... camera fone waiting for card reader.

I'm not sure how I could fit a wall in a single cab. It doesn't have a bench seat which makes it more difficult. It's two separate seats with a console. So far I have two 6 inch earthquakes and a 10 inch selenium with a quantum audio equalizer and a 1,000 watt DHD amp. Any advice will help on how to build or what I need. I was thinking two 6's two 10's and two 8's and fabricate the wall in camo and paint the grills orange. I'm not sure if it's possible and if so let me know how. Thanks!

I'm building up a "foundation" for a future bass race setup in my Jeep. Right now, it's just for two 15's but I would like to get some heavy duty 18's in the future once I add more power to the mix.... The rear chamber is 9 cubes tuned to 33 hz and the front chamber is big with a big port The port and subs from the rear chamber will be facing right in front of the loading wall. For anybody that asks why I used particle board....Lowe's was out of MDF, plus it was cheaper. Not a big deal to be honest. We'll start off with what was in my Jeep before: Start of the tear out...

This will probably be slow but here is the start the truck my Head unit kenwood Obsidian v2 12s and power for now kenwood 9105d no pics but I have done a big 3 with stinger 0 gauge ofc also I just ordered a IA 10.1 and also a set of crescendo audio cz 6.5 components

Hi, This will be the first build log I have ever made. Been on the forum for years and have gathered a lot of my knowledge and expertise from this forum. I have been working on audio system for about 4 years now, and have had many different setups in my Saturn with each just getting louder and better. It has been a journey. This is my current system and my latest build i may also throw some build pics in from my last system. ENJOY AND COMMENT!

So after a very long hiatus from this site, I wanted to post some updated pics of where Im at currently. Originally I started out with a couple pioneer shallow mounted subs, which were great. But always left me wondering what more I could get, so I found SSA and picked up a single 15" Xcon. I absolutely loved it. Except it was in a huge rear firing ported enclosure. Then I started having kids, and the need for my cargo space forced me back to a shallow mount option using two Sundown SD3 12"s. Again, this left me wondering "what more?". Anyways, after I bought my first Xcon I loved it so much I bought a second. But I just never had the opportunity, until now....8ft^3 …

One reason for the rebuild: Cone Area This rebuild has been in planning for awhile but it's just starting to come together now First off I wanna thank the people who made this possible; Thanks to Jacob at Sundown for having such great equipment, customer service, and for answering all my n00b questions. You are the man! Thanks to Zach (Nightshade) for helping with the box design and answering even more of my n00b questions; you've been so helpful and generous with your time, I owe you man. Thanks to Derrick (Derrick824) for helping me with the initial planning for the box, it was great working with you! Thanks to Torres, for helping me with wiring when I had no idea WTF …

I picked up the Sundowns and the Eclipse 8443 back in December and threw in a temporary set up. Now that I'm not having my life sucked away by a manipulative bitch, I'm finally getting the install completed. I'm rebuilding the RL-i boxes to be slightly larger and not have airleaks and be more attractive. Side panels will be build into which the amps will be flush mounted. Hopefully, I'll also get a chance to build a cover panel for my rear deck this week. On to teh pics! Eclipse 8443: Some boxes: Sundown Audio SAZ-1500D: Sundown Audio SAX-100.4: Temp. Install: New boxes for the 8s coming together: That's all I have done so far. More to be posted as I complet…
