Build Logs

Long time member here first build log though. I have on order 2 sundown sa-12's and from what I already have gathered i need about a 4cu ft net common chamber box and I want to get around 30Hz tune. Looking for ideas on design as far as sub and port orientation. I plan on removing and reloacting the jack so i have more room to work with back against the cab wall. I am also making a false floor/platform to have a nice area to work with. I have 1500 watts on tap, stock electrical although I am also going to upgrade my power/grounds under the hood. I have a pretty beefy battery and with only 1500 watts I should survive with just charging upgrades. Have in the past but we s…

Here is my 2000 camaro SS i bought a few weeks ago. not wasting any time making it better! Car has a ton of bolt on performance goodies as well as suspension goodies. T-tops 6-speed. Im sure gearheads worldwide are going to hate me for this but **** em! Its my car and i bought it to do exactly this. Im not going to lead on too much about all the equipment im using for this build. All im really going to say is the ZCONS are on the way!!!! Its going to be hell fitting 18+cubes, batteries, and amps but im up to the challenge. Here is a few teaser shots untill real progress is made. My buddie Chris helping me out before the last USAC show. getting it all cleaned out…

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…

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.

Going to be Deadening the whole rear half of car and doors. Also building box for SSA XCON 15" nothing really special. Will more than likely be using MurderMat MDK for trunk/rear deck and BL for the doors. Will get some before and after videos of the flex and rattle. Will post pics of the car soon. The Car 2013 Forte Koup and current Setup. HU is factory NAV unit with Stock Amp. The XCON i picked up locally for $200. Backseat out and most of trim out, not gonna remove trunk stuff til deadener arrives. Got wood and supplies to build box Box Design(keeping it simple for now since this is my first box) Enclosure Specifications: Fb = 32 Hz Vb = 4 ft^3 External Height…

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…

just got a 07 tahoe. just making a build log here. more then just audio. stocks pics.

This will be my first build log so any suggestions to improve it are welcome. This build is going to take a long time and I'm in no rush. Slowly as I get cash I'll be buying the parts one by one. I'll be going for an active set up. Car: 2006 Toyota Camry Altise Limited V6 Here's my shopping list: Head unit: Pioneer DEH-80PRS This head unit has all the features I want for the active set up. Mid Drivers: Morel Supreme SCM634 Carbon Fiber Cone 6" Midrange Tweeters: Morel CAT308 1" Textile Dome Tweeter Subs: 2x Fi Q15s (Bought) 4 Channel Amp: Undecided Mono Amp: Crescendo Audio BC3500D/Crescendo Audio BC2000D Good value for money on the BC2000D. Just not sure if I want to run…

(for a rufe estament)

hello all i guess ill start with a list of the stuff thats going in to the car and on with the pics!! first build log so dont hassle me to bad:lol: charging system consists of : 320 mechman alt , 2 runs of 2/0, one run of 1/0 scosche ofc, dual front and rear frame grounds, xs power d3100, spp2250 amp is an opti drive 7k subs are fi reconed zcons on to PIKKS the alt old subs radio got some new drills the start of a stripper pole the amp the batteries need to clean up wires and on to the wall tool maker made this up for me

I was going to copy and paste from my thread on a gm trucks forum as this build started back in january but theres a lot of unneeded stuff in there. I went back and forth alot about what i was going to do and how. This system started because i had the typical driver side front speaker failure. I was going to merely replace all the factory speakers and run the amp off high level inputs from the stock head unit...boy did that change. My on experience in car audio previous to this was my 1991 jimmy when i was 16. It involved a head unit, simple speaker replacements using factory wires and two 12 inch mtx thunder 3000 (i think) subs in a bandpass box i bought at the pawn shop…

Should have really started this earlier lol. As the title suggests I have an Audi A4 Avant, with a little bass Quick run down of the specs and equipment - Audi A4 Avant 1.9TDI Sport - Alpine 9887R Headunit with full speed iPod connection - Ground Zero GZUC 16SQ - Crystal CAM200.2 - 2 Fully Loaded 15" Fi SP4 Subwoofers - SPL Dynamics D6 - Custom Made Enclosure with Adjustable Tuning - 3 XS Power D3400 Batteries [1 up front and 2 in the back] - Dual 210a Alternators with an external regulator - For the most part Knukonceptz 0gauge OFC Fleks wiring throughout Before this install I've had a number of different set ups in this car. I started off with 2 15" Fi BTLs on a 5kwrms…

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.

okay guys this is my friend rgs build log. he has a 96 jeep cherokee laredo. With 2 18'' RE SX (old series) when scott still built them. and an audiopipe 3000d 2 xs power batteries 3400's. and Bass inferno 6.5 coaxils. Some pics of some ideas are coming if you guys have any ideas about how we can fit a 16^3 ft box in the back of his jeep without taking all the back seats out im drawing up some sketches now of what im thinking i need to know how it would work. ill post pics soon.

Greetings from Venezuela. This is my first topic in the forum and it's my first serious work on my car. so I would love for their opinions and to clarify my doubts. I have a pair of DD subwoofer amplified ap1500.1 1512th and the great problem I have with the box because I get 4 cubic feet net excluding subwoofer or the port, including low I get 3 cubic feet net internal excluding Port and I believe that less than 1.75 feet low with 1500 rms not going to pay anything.

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've decided to start looking for my next project. I'm looking for something outside of what you see everyday. Going to be loud as hell but still look cool. I'm thinking old... Any ideas? Budget around 7500.

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 …

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 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.
