Build Logs

Disclaimer: In an effort to save time, the following is basically a similitude of a thread I've posted to another forum which I belong to...in addition, the pic's were taken using my crappy iPhone 4S, so they're not the best quality photo's __________________________________________________ ________________________ Okay, so after two years of scavenging for equipment and damn near four months of on/off installations; I think it's safe to say, that I'm pretty close to the completion of a decent stealth, SQ setup for my vehicle...

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.

Got a 2009 Pontiac G6, came with 15% on all windows but the front windshield. Black Dubs rims. Audio Wise, right now; Later will be cosmetic stuff, like HID headlights and 5% tint on all windows As for the build: SQ/"SQL"/SPL.....to be honest...I don't know. I just want loud and ground pounding.

Well, after many questions and research I guess its time to start a build log. I havent done this in over 12 years so its alittle slow going. This is going into my daily / work truck. I am not necessarily going for "SQ" or for "SPL" but something that sounds good to me. Not a big build or anything. Here is the truck it is going into. What is being replaced. Center console will be coming out. The equipment that will be going in and some that was already there and will be staying. * indicates new equip Power and wiring *30ft of 1 /0 KNU Kolossus OFC Power *20ft of 1/ 0 KNU Kolossus OFC Ground *5ft of 4 gauge KNU OFC power *5ft of 4 gauge KNU OFC ground *Tsunami main fuse…

Well haven't posted up here in a while so i thought id post up what I'm doing lately. I already have 2 SA-8's on the way and I'm going to pair it up with a SAE 1000d amp or an SAZ 1000d amp (not really sure what to get at the moment). I will be wiring both of them down to 1 ohm. It's all going in a 1992 toyota pickup extended cab. Here are the specs of the box I'm designing at 32 hrtz. In the 3D photos the length should be 40" not 36". Any comments, help, or info would be appreciated. Thanks-Blake

I Already have the woofer/amp/batteries/wire end setup will be: 1 15" Audiopulse LMS Ultra 1 American Bass VFL 200.1 (rated 3k+ rms at 1 ohm) 2 Exide Orbital Deep cycle batteries Box undecided right now but will be built this weekend 125 Sq Ft RAAMaudio BXT 5 Yards RAAMaudio Ensolite All KnuConceptz 1/0 and RCA's 200 Amp EA Alt Heres the ish i have now in the closet All the wire and what not just got here from Knuconceptz and i have to say this wire is amazing those are 300 amp fuses and the inline fuse holders seem to be very nice, overall their a great company all my deadening material will be here Monday and my Alternator is on the way also from EA

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!

This is what I been workin on over the past month or 2. And thanks everyone for the help.icons an nendo sound great.I've never had anything like it..still gotta get an extra battery and alternator.I pulled a 139.9db today was all it would do before it started starving for power.also that's a dc creation box tuned at 30hz.got it in yesterday.thx everyone for the help once again.

Got the call from someone local to build a box for his setup. He has 2 SSA Evil 18's on 2 NS-1's at 0.5 ohms a piece, with 4 XS D3100's and a Mechman 270. His current box was initially built for 4 18's (something like 18 cubes net) and stuck WAY above the window line. He wanted a box for just the 2 that he has, a lot smaller box, and something with a little "flair". Well, here it is... Specs: 13.2 cubes net 12" Octaport 32.3 hz Double layered all around (except sides) Window style bracing Bolt terminals Bedlined outside with a fire-engine red port Be sure to watch the video at the end!

This build is for a team mate of mine. Build consists of a pair of 18" Fi BTL's on a single [email protected] Car is a 2003 VW Golf. Enclosure specs... [email protected] on with the pics. terminated and dressed a few wires today. two from the alt to the batt. (Red tech-flex) two from the engine block to the frame. (silver) two from the batt to the fuse holders.(red tech-flex, w/ bare wire on one end)

Ok well, I just came from the second skin warehouse here in Phoenix. Met up with the owner Anthony and discussed what he thought i'd need to get going for my small SUV. It's in desperate need for some second skin, so this is what I got today. NOt sure exactly when i'll be doing the installation of all this, but keep your eyes out for this thread in the near future for progress. Here's what I got. 3 boxes of "Damplifier Pro" for doors, roof, trunk lid, and floor 2 cans of second skin adhesive 3 crazy glues 1 roller 1 utility knife 2 rolls of luxury liner pro 2 rolls of rattle pad 4 Speaker Tweakers (mounts behind component drivers)

I figured I might as well start this build log too, it should help keep me motivated trying to keep both builds moving. This is my brother's vehicle and his 2012 Mod class MECA build. Equipment being used in this build: 230amp DC Power alt. stock under hood battery with a single Kinetik 1400 in the rear JVC HDR50 Kicker KS69 Soundstream pcx270.2 SSA Zcon 18" Sundown SAZ3000D (thanks Steve!) I only have a few pics right now, I'll get more soon. Some shots of the big 3 looking ugly with the tape and big washers, but that was only temporary. Power cable through firewall. More pics coming soon, possibly a step by step guide to doing a large case alt swap on the Dodge 2.0…

Update: Replaced interior carpen and I'm painting all interior plastic pannels to match Painting the pannels Almond. teplaced carpet with used carpet from a house. im sorry folks but i dont have the money to buy new carpet. so dumpster diving was the only way to go. decided it was time for a back up camera system so i started the console for the screen to mount in. im just going to build around the stock interior parts. probably going to paint this part black to match the area where the A/C controls and the HU are mounted. had debated using fiberglass to do the console but with all the extra OSB lating around the shop. i went that route instead. and besides. id hate to…

i been wantin to make a thread like this so fk it i am lol.... i started w/ this system ~10 months ago.. big difference between now and then. 1st was an splx15" and ss pca1000d: 136.8db still the same clarion deck.. added EQ w/ 7v out got a bigger box maybe 3cubes added a 4" aero.. this box and 4" port was the lowest hitting out of all the ones ive tried so far. 138.9db picked up a used 9515 and also swapped the pca1000 for the pca1500d the splx was a loud sub.. the dd sounds alot nicer though sealed off the 4" hole on the front, added a side firing 6" flared port.. 141.8db most recent mid/high amp, if you look at the pics i've been through 3 or 4 already.. …

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.

How to start this off????? Well, I got this way cool Fi Car Audio 10" Q. Here are some pics of how it arrived to me. Waiting at the doorstep. Opening up the box. Out of the box and on to the driveway for some pics. Side profile shot. Get a load of that motor. O_o A word from the people who made this possible. The plan will be for a simple ported box with an aero-port. I'll input all the manufacturers parameters and box specs into Hornresp and see what it chugs out. To follow up, I'll use a Dayton Audio Test System (D.A.T.S.) formerly know as the Woofer Tester, to verify the impedance curve and box tuning. If all goes well, I'll have a nice bumping…

Finally made a start on my new build this week Will be slow with updates over the next 1-3months, but in the end it should equal to one of the loudest cars in the country Its called mini mayhem due to it sharing the same equipment as this van: http://www.talkaudio.co.uk/ipb/index.php/topic/294453-ascendant-audio-chevy-astro-the-mayhem/ Of course its on a much Smaller Scale, kit list will include: 2 Ascendant Audio Mayhem 18" Woofers 2 Pairs of Ascendant Audio 7" Mid range Speakers (4 in Total) 2 Pairs of Ascendant Audio Tweeters 2 Pairs of Bullet Horn Tweeters Alpine 9886R Imprint Sound processor Audiocontrol Epic 160 Vibe Deltabox Fusion Powerplant 4 Channel amp (4X 22…

I've been looking into transmission line and tapped horn enclosure for a while, but still dont know a whole lot. here is my attempt at a tapped horn design with 4 7in goldwood woofers($12 each). I have it all put together right now and it sounds really good, but its too late to turn it up real loud so that will wait till mornin. I'm not finished with the build yet though, but i was close to finishin so i decided to see how it sounded so far. If anyone knows more about the designs, and sees if I'm doin anythin wrong, I'm listenin for advice. the outside the inside bottom piece wired up to see how it sounds. 4 8 ohms woofers wired to a single 8 ohm load, g…

Started a long due project being I finally got a day off.... H/U.. To many of these so i cant install in closed space...

Have been planning this for a lil while now. Being busy with school and what not, it has been a long time coming. I finally started the other day though. Just a heads up: Being in college full time, with a ton of papers coming up soon, this will not be a fast build. Just gonna work on it when I can between class, gf, and other things until its done. What's going in: 4 DP21"s 4 SAZ-3000d's (new heat sinks) Maxx-Link 200+ ft.
