    The bandwidth on my photobucket was exceeded, so that's why I'm starting another thread. Heres everything I have done so far. 03 Ford Expedition XLT. Two Incriminator Audio Death Penalty's. Four JL Slash 1000/1v2's. Two bulk packs of Second Skin Damplifier Pro. What it's going in. Everything that's going in. Port. Bracing. Four layers of this. And I did the inside of the back hatch with two layers the Damplifier Pro too.

    I'm pretty new to this website,and I'd like to thank everyone for the warm welcome. I am currently in the process of upgrading my subwoofer setup in my Yukon. I used to have 2 12" Alpine Type E and Alpine 450 watt amp. That was my first setup I ever had, and now that I know a lot more (definitely not everything) I am ready to upgrade. So ever since I saw Steeve Meeades's videos on YouTube, I've always wanted to get a BTL. Recently I've pulled the trigger on getting the stuff I need to do this. Ive paid for everythiing except for the sub itself, because I need to sell my previous setup to have enough money. I put on craigslist for $250, but every time someone offers …

    I decided to take out my big setup for a while because it takes alot of drivablilty out of my car, specially in the rain and the last few days ice. So this will be my setup for a bit until i get a better suspension for the back of my car. I got 4 of the E8's from the presale, for now ill be using two in two separate tline boxes. the lines are a little short due to space, but im goin to see how it sounds. Im also putting a line for both the front and back of each sub. so 4 total lines. If this doesnt satisfy me ill go back to a longer line for just one side of the sub. the center piece has to be removable so i can get the sub in the box too. this is also the first bo…

    I've waited til I accumulated almost all of the parts before making this build log. This is my 1999 Chevy Blazer ZR2: I got it right around 2 months ago, and have been slowly accumulating audio parts for it. I took care of the important things first (fluid flushes, new hoses, new filters, oil change, fix rear differential leak, etc) so it took a bit longer than expected. The truck itself has a 2" shackle drop and nearly as much torsion bar crank and 31" Cooper STTs. I haven't had the time to take her off-road yet, but that's going to change very soon . The equipment list is as follows: Sundown SAX 100.2 Sundown SAE-1000D SSA Icon 15D2 Polk MOMO 6.5" Components Alp…

Already installed) -Blue Stinger volt meter (already installed. Need to wire up.) -Stinger 1/0 wire. Got about 25tft total for $50. -Sundown SAE-1200 (sold this to him on the cheap.) -2 12" Fi Q D1's. (These were my other buddies. He gave one to me as partial trade when I sold him my xcon and saz1500. And he gave the other to my buddy that owns the this Tahoe. I sold him mine for $50. Lol. They are both at the Fi factory getting reconed from D2s to D1s. But UPS broke one of the Damn magnets so now the…

    So after 4 months of waiting I finally revived these baby's. It's such a relief and a long wait coming lol. Can't wait to pick up a taramps 8k to push these. And build my box also. These things are super heavy and beffy and beautiful. Really stiff. unfortunately i didnt didn't receive my tshirt or any stickers for that matter that's a bummer I was looking forward to that sick black shirt. And I took out the wooden things that help keep the sub protected during shipping.

    Here are pics of "Moms Soccer Van" before it goes in for custom vinyl graphics. Rear windows have been blacked out and urethane sealed To prevent flexing. Passive crossovers flushed into the passenger side under seat drawer. Refer all questions to 02skidoo as I only assisted on the dampening and tweeter install and brainstorming. Brian did all the rest himself. All dampening is Rockford Fosgate Deadskin (1 layer roof and sidewalls) Alt is from Ohio Generator and 3 Kinetik's. Could use a couple more. Now all I need to do is talk the Owner into Sundown and others!
