    This is just a get loud build. And loud it is. SQ was out the window before the pen hit the paper in discussions about this build. So don't tell me it will sound bad.

    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…

  19. Ok, well I have a friend that we(Acidburn & I) are doing a build for. He's got a 2006 Solara. We are going with 3 ICON 10D2s. Box Specs: Tuning: 31hz Box Volume: 4.008 ft^3 Squar Port Area: 49.5 For right now, we only have the box done. The rest of the equipment is still a work in progress. I'll update this thread as it comes in. We made the box as big as we could for the room we had to work with without loosing functionality of the trunk. Anyways, on to the pics.

    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. 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 …

    Hey Guys, Some of you already know who I am, and for those who don't, here is a quick summary. Basically, I run Taramps, and I have been using Lithium batteries from the good people over at Juice Box Battery. I also use 6 15" SSA Evils subs in a 4thbp that's 50 cuft Gross. This 12DCV system topped off at 162db with poor electrical being at fault for not betting that score since achieving it. Well for 2016, I am changing things up a bit, at least for what seems like the rest of the season. I have shipped my LiFePo4 battery back to JB for repair, and since have acquired 18 XS Power D3400s. I have also wired them in series to achieve 230 DCV Resting. The amplifier…
