    I am about to start my build log for my new car. I'm wanting to do an 18 btl not sure about anything else yet I need a cheap amp that does 2 kw rms. For mids and highs ill run 2 sets of coaxials off the deck for now will amplify them later if necessary. I just went to pull a part today and got all the carpet for the trunk. I'm gonna try to do the big 3 tomorrow. Will get and install a HU when I decide on one. I'm not sure on electrical upgrades yet ill play that by ear. Gotta get more 0 awg wire and build the box also. Will try to add pics of the trunk before and after tomorrow or tonight. Also plan on painting some interior pieces. Any feed back or suggestions …

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…

    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…

    Wished I had taken pics of during the construction of the box, but I didn't have my camera on hand. But it's your plain sealed box. Internal volume of .75 cu ft net. Hertz called for an insanely small .57 cubes sealed, but I was afraid the bottom octaves won't be as pronounced. So I ended up going with .75 cu ft. First some pics of the new sub for those who haven't seen it in my other thread. It's a Hertz Audio Hi-Energy 12. pretty nice and simple cone with the Hertz logo on the dustcap. bright ass orange magnet rubber boot. It's pretty simple looking....no huge surround or massive motor structure. This thing is tiny compared to my Brahma MKI 12. Flush mounted.…

    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.

The second challenge, is the vehicle of choice a Toyota Voxy.

    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…

    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.

I got all the work on the business done early, so I figured I'd go above-and-beyond and build a movable car audio display to show off a bit Here's the build log: I went to Lowes and got two sheets of 3/4" MDF, and had them cut it to spec.

    So this is what i've been up to for the past week, 2 gallons of spectrum firewall on the inside of the fiero, i figure i'll buy another gallon and a roll of raammat just for the roof/doors. The quarter windows were broken so i made some of those too, the driver's side is still hardening and i haven't even trimmed out the other yet, but they look god so far. considering replacements are $200+ i'd rather try using my leftover fiberglass first.
