Hey y'all! So I've had this little home theater project going in my mind for quite a while consisting of 4 15" DCONS and at this point I've collected the amp for the project and a pair of DCONS. At the same time, I've been trying to sell my old box I used for a pair of SA 15's on craigslist for about half a year. I decided to put two and two together and run the DCON's in my old box. I recalculated the box specifications for the DCONS. It's 7 net cubes at ~32hz. From the SSA site it seems like the DCON's like bigger ported boxes than the SA's... If i find the box unsatisfying i'll just cutout most of my baffle, leaving some edge like a picture frame, and then adding more…

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…

I'm out in Japan and have been working on a second install in my Toyota Voxy. It's been one heck of a challenge since I'm sourcing everything from back USA. Most of the Japanese run the big box brands like RF, Kenwood, Sony, etc. , so I decided to go with something different that will be in the end outstanding. The second challenge, is the vehicle of choice a Toyota Voxy. It's a mid sized van with good space for an install, but I had to do some mods to make the upgrades work like a bigger battery, etc. Equipment: Pioneer 9400BH CDT front components with rear coax for fill 2 Xcon 15's 2 Crescendo BC2000Ds ( replaced a Hifonics 1700d) 1 MB Quart Onx4.125 (moving the planet …

Im thanking of putting 3 SA-15s in a 4th order wall and ive read around and some say a 2:1 ratio and some say 3:1 ratio and to tune port side highh 45+- i know it changes from vehicle2vehicle and power but what is the best place to start? and any ideas on what size it might need to be? (for a rufe estament)

Hello, thanks for checking out my build. I decided to stick a system in my Honda after years of not having anything but stock audio. I just don't have a lot of funds for high end equipment, so pretty much everything is budget equipment. I don't really have any goal other than to eventually hit 150db for as cheap as possible, we shall see how that turns out. For now I am just enjoying having some tunes again. As of right now I've got the following gear installed. (You can click the links for more pictures) Head Unit – Alpine CDA9805 Front Door Speakers –6.5″ MB Quart Components FSB216 Rear Door Speakers – 6.5” Phoenix Gold Coaxial Amplifier – MB Quart 1.400 on the Subs – …

This build wont be nearly as impressive as many of the other members, and will slowly take place over time but figured I'd post anyways so I can gain criticism, and possibly help others. Ill start off with some pics my jeep, and my old system. 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo roughly 134,000 miles on it Bought it in October with around 132,000 Old RE 10" Subs (Blew them) Current Deck Corner of boxes, From old system

Well my initial build at the moment is relatively complete, but of course I have future plans. Therefore Ill just post some pictures and you can comment and ask questions about the build if you wish. Ill add more pictures when I get back home, next week. Im thinking of doing fiberglass doors with an 8" mid, 6.5" mid, and a supertweet. Then add two more dcons, maybe ported maybe sealed, not sure.. If that doesnt do it for me, Im thinking SSA Icon 18s.

So for Christmas i am super excited to say we bought me a new car..its not brand new but in very nice shape and runs great! ...Plus i was surprised (by jon) with my new box that was designed by jblcamry! I cant wait to see what the car and box can do for my #s. I will still be using my icon 15 and jl 500/1 but changes here and their will be made to the car.. i cant wait! here is some pics to start off with. the front of the box (sorry not a great pic) my head unit

Well, first off. This is going to be off to a slow start. As some of you know, I totaled out my beloved daewoo and did not have full coverage. I was also between jobs when it happened. So I just picked this 2dr, 4wd blazer today, literally. I got it for a good deal. It needs some work, but it'll be worth it. I got some shit to fix on it, A/C, some suspension work, and I think the front axle solenoid is bad, I hear the transfercase solenoid kicking in, but no pull from the front. Few little nick nack things to fix. No biggie, I'm good at turning a wrench. Any way, I'm pretty well broke right now, until I get steady cash coming in. Most likely the build will start with on…

i ditched some of my old equipment. the amp came in today and the sub arrives tomorrow. ill have everything put in with more pictures tomorrow and hopefully a video in a few days. only thing ive done is mount the bass knob. just wating for the sub to come in to mount the amp. i will be cleaning up all the mess by the battery because its looking rough kicker hyper flex 1/0 precision power sedona 850.1

I'm not sure if I've made a log for this or not, but here we go. We have here my shops 1994 Isuzu Pick up truck. Old system, 12 db Drive K9 10"s on 3 db Drive A73500's. Metered 157's at 54Hz and honestly sounded like doodoo. Here we have the first quick sketch I did after seeing Scott Bowemans truck in a video. Picking up the first 1/2 of the birch plywood we needed for the build. We jump forward a bit here to half way with the box. 1/4" Steel angle iron to hold the baffle in place and help keep box together. We have the baffle in. Sealed with wood glue, then silicon over the metal and all seams. Wires for the subs ran and cleaned up a little. Bolts for the wire to…

The is a good friends truck. He gave me free run to do a what I want in his truck, I am keeping the budget for the entire build to $1500 or so. It already has a Kenwood headunit under the bench seat where it will stay and be operated by remote. The goal will be to leave the interior as is basically. It has a very small battery behind the seat which I may relocate to the bed if he will let me. 55 Chevy 3100 series. 350 2 barrel, automatic, Monte Carlo frame I believe, bagged with 4 switches, frame is notched and the bed floor raised to hide the air tank, compressor and wheel tubs. Its a bad ass fun truck. The goal is simply to get a nice sound in it. Nothing crazy but fair…

This build has been done for a bit, Was designed and build by Scott Bowman and Nick Pro of team nemesis in Wilmington N.C. I just switched amps from a pair of aq20k's to a pair of stetsom 14k2e's, I haven't had a chance to test with stetsom amps, but to the ear, it is deff louder, enjoy! old set up old amps tear of the c-pilar wall sketch up of 4th order 2:1 ratio 12 cubes sealed 24 ported test fit for batteries Loading wall test fit for old bass amps daily port These are my old subs: american bass hd's, not really 4th order friendly changed subs to nightshade v2's because the hd's didn't like 20,000 watts new subs: thanks Jacob …

BHE is shipping enclosures as well as getting locals louder than ever Here are some pics

i recently bought the ssa icon 18'' and and ive been through all kind of boxes with my charger and seems like it is nothing but a bass sponge back there. so i was wondering about this in my new build, i plan on sealing the box off from the trunk in maybe a 5 or 6cuft sealed box, ive tried ported but im just not getting the results i want, which previously it sounded better sealed. so basiclly all im asking is do u think a sealed box for this 18'' will sound good sealed of from the trunk? any help is appreciated.
