He wanted to get this stuff installed rather quickly..so 3.5 hours later and this is what we got.... This was installed in a 2002 Escalade 2 DD 9515s DD M4A Batcap 4000 There is more product going into this truck..this is a temp setup to get some low-end in the truck for a while. Vinyl matched to the truck with dual Kerf port. Batcap 4000 and a "quick" wire job to get him up and running for a few days until he gets the rest of the product he needs.

So ive been at it since april but i just finished on saturday...took me forever cuz i have had so much work...

Robin Butler and Chris Chapman of Bass Heads Ent did an amazing job on my 2 12" PSI Platform 1 Chevy S10 Xtreme build. I could not be any happier, still have to retune and what not, but moves the windshield a bit, still figuring out what music I like to play.

Some of you may have seen this on another forum...but I figured I would post this here as well. This is actually a friend of mine's truck, so this was all done at the house "off the clock"....so it took a few days of after hours work to get it going.

Not much of a log but I took some pictures along the way. I will say this sounds great and the low end really surprised me a single 8" setup. After a little break in I'll hook up the Digital Designs DD-C2a bridged @2ohms. Shout out to John23a for the design help. Enclosure is .7 @33hz Onto the pics:

This is another build I'm doing for a friend of mine. I'm doing an audio and hydraulic install for him. Goals... Put a clean and simple system together. Keep wattage reasonable to avoid large electrical upgrades. Good overall sound quality and output. Use as little space possible for audio. Got the box started. Using 3/4" birch plywood with a double baffle. Here is a shot of the backside of the sub for those who haven't seen one of these subs yet. Had to get creative to fit a pair of 3" Aero ports in this box. It's tuned at 33hz with a box volume of 1.5 cubes. The "shrek" box. Just needed to black out the top the other sides aren't seen when installed. …

I am finally starting my build for my crew cab hd. It may take me a while to finish due to my full time job. So i can only do it in the little time i have after work before dark. The build will consist of (including items already installed): 1x Power Acoustik PTID-8310NRBT 1x Crescendo BC2000 1x Merlon MEAM50.4 1x DB Drive S5 6C 6.5" Components 4x Sundown SA-8 V2 1x Stinger SPP1500D 1x Mechman 270a Alt Stinger 1/0 for Big 3 Sound Quest 4 Gauge for Merlon Performance Teknique 1/0 for Crescendo Now some pics: The truck Under the hood Starting the box build Stay tuned for more!

I am very happy with how this build came out, I have a ton of pics on the comp at home, and I will get them posted here soon,. I'd like to thank NT_Hardcore, Focalrock4life and my wife Kasey for all the time that went into the project. NT really did a nice job with the wiring, there are a couple things in the back that need to be tied up, and they will be when we can get the car back in a few days.

A friend of mine asked me to build him a box for his 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 ext. cab truck for 1 Alpine Type R 12. And this is what i came up with... I will post pics of the installion later... D4 Type R 12: The ports: Assembled: And carpeted: ps sorry for the not so many pics. didn't think about posting it till i was almost done. if you have any questions, comments or anything feel free to post

I just posted a small intro on the new members thread and said I was going to post my build so hear are a bunch of pictures to bring you up to speed. I was out of audio for a long minute until I found a bunch of videos on YT and it got me fired up again. The game had changed a lot since I was into it in the late nineties. Before all this madness began I had an alpine 6.5" comp set and a single 12". It has grown into somewhat of a monster now and it continues to get better... Here is an outside pic to set this thing off. I am repainting it this summer. Matte black with a rhino lined roof lol Old doors new door build for a single 10" Window controls molded into door pan…

Alrighty...I think I've got enough goodies to show off now. It's not at all close to being finished though but it is what it is. With that said, here we go! Head Unit - Kenwood KDC-X794 (May end up being a Pioneer DEH-80PRS) Mids & Highs Amps - 2x Precision Power Black Ice BK800.4 Mono Amp - Crescendo Audio BC2000D Front Stage - Undecided (Currently Phoenix Gold RSD65cs but will be replaced) Rear Fill - 2x Pioneer TS-A1604C Subwoofer - Sound Solutions Audio ZCON 18D2 Wiring - About $300 worth of Knu CCA and accessories Electrical - Stock alt but will have a couple of batts to support the 2K. ON TO THE PICTURES! Compared to my pretty small hand And my SA-12's compa…

Thought you guys might like to see a build we are finishing...you may have seen it on another forum...This isn't exactly going to be a full build log, mostly just pics of it as things get finished. This is my buddy's van, we have been building it at his house the last few months. What we have been trying to accomplish is an "old-school" type build, full install, LOW LOW extension, move a bunch of air, and do decent SPL (definitely not our main goal). I worked at a shop in Akron, Ohio in the 90's doing mostly big installs, and competed some myself. He used to compete in consumer classes in USAC back then too. (Both of us had world records in the 90's)...on to the pics... T…

I hate to do a build log before I am completely done, but it looks like I won't get much else done between now and when I leave for Korea, and when I get back, I will probably upgrade, so the build will start over at that point. Starts off as a stock Jetta with an upgraded head unit. Not the best of head units, but it does what I need for now. It is a Kenwood DDX-418. The GLI model comes with from the factory with a Monsoon audio system. This consists of a factory 8 Channel amp running a tweeter and woofer in each door. It sounded good, and got loud, but there was significant lacking of the low range frequencies. Anything below 80Hz was either distorted, or non existant d…

Hey guys i need help with building this box so i get the right air space . The dimmensions i have for space is 25 long 13.5 tall and 16 wide. I am going to put a ssa gcon 15d4 sub in there. I want it to look like http://s1150.photobu...rent=subbox.jpg. Its just a crappy paint scetch but you get the picture haha. Any help would be awesome Thanks JD

Tuned to 30Hz Ported, 2.75 cu.ft

It has begun. For those not familiar here is a recap: http://www.soundsolu...of-double-dees/ For now this is just a box and sub replacement, and everything that comes with it. The goods: The box design: Estimated frequency response graph. O_o I decided to spruce up the box design just a bit by adding some windows. Just a little something to show off the insanity of the sub's motor design. It's not eveyday you get to see something this gonzo nuts. Here is a little test of the line of site. The red strip represents where the sub will be. You might have to close one eye to get the full effect in person. More on the way.

Trying to figure out how to posts pics again !!! I don't know if my computer is too slow or my files too big. I made a photobucket account today, but I don't see how to post pics from there. I am studying it ! Until I can post some pics !!! Sorry

Well, just to update, I went over to wobbly woofers and had them "tune" my amps (which they did by turning my gain from less than 1/2 way to 3/4.....so at 1/2 volume I was at 10v), so I was like whatever, they know what they are doing.....(I hope), and i asked to get metered on their tl. With the mic in the kick and my door open, I did 142.8 @ 30hz, with the volume 1/2 way and at 12.2v Needless to say, after I left, I went back and adjusted it the way I had it, which is louder and sounds better to me and I can turn up the volume to about 3/4 and still have 13.5v banging. I love these woofers, so crisp, clean and immense output! I wish I had more SSA products. I'm going to…

I guess it's time to post up the build log since I'm almost done with the wall. The build? 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser 12^3 wall tuned to 40Hz 2 RE MT 18" D1's 2 RD Audio D9's @5ohm each 1 DD C5b 4 Channel 5 Deka G31's Mike SInger 240amp alt To much 1/0 to talk about. Started by re-running ALL wire to behind where the wall will be. Ran the 1/0 out the side panel all fancy like. Started preparing for the wall. Then, it started. Got sides and baffle layers glued together and assembled. After all that, I silicone and braced it up. Got that handled, it was time to seal it off. And that's were I sit as of tonight, 4/10/…
