Build Logs

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…

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…

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. Most of the Japanese run the big box brands like RF, Kenwood, Sony, etc. , so I decided to go with something different that will be in the end outstanding. 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 …

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. Here's the upcoming stuff going/being done in this ride: H/O Alternator built by Micheal Singer (Being built) All stock speaker wiring torn out and Knukonceptz 16 gauge installed AudioTechnix 12 gauge for the subwoofers AudioTechnix 1/0 gauge powerwire Kno Knoise Resonance Control Bulk Pack 52.5sq ft (2) Sundown Audio NEO Pro 8" midbass *O…

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!

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

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

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)

The 1987 Mustang Build Has Officially Has Begun ! Will start the Actual Build tomorrow. Will be getting some help by My bro ElBlako (Member Here on SSA) And maybe a cutie Will have pics up in a little bit of what i got today.

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…

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…

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...

(silver) two from the batt to the fuse holders.(red tech-flex, w/ bare wire on one end)

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…

Throwin a lil somethin to bump to in the minivan I just bought for my girl. Setup will consist of: Clarion CZ401 USB H/U 1 Pair Skar Audio VXI65 Components 2 Skar Audio MA-8D4's Audiopipe APSM-1500 VXI's will be ran off the H/U for now along with the stock rear 6x9's. Eventually will be powered by an APSM-2125 to match the sub amp. Anyways, here's what I have so far:

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.. …

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…
