Build Logs

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)

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:

After forever the build is finally coming together. I have an Adcom GTP-450 pre-amp with a GFA-535L for power (60W @ 8). I'm going to do the build using a combination of MDF and Oak. The neighbors shop setup More pics to come soon

This truck has been through a lot, and it's far from done but this is what I have done so far. After the wreck How it looks now

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!

Figured I'd post a build log for my truck, a buddy (John Holmes) and me are doing it. As I've said before I haven't dealt with car audio much since highschool but for whatever reason got the itch (herpes) this year. I don't really drive this truck all too often, it's primarily just used for towing although I will most likely put a few more miles on it now that it will have some sound. Did the big 3 and battery a few weeks ago but had to wait for a little nicer weather to start working on the actual sound part. Here's a quick rundown of the parts involved from front to back, it's missing stuff I know but it won't be done for a while. Front battery: Deka 9A78DT Headunit: Ec…

I am going to be building an active set up in a buddies late 60's Mustang. It is a built muscle car so I want small and light weight. A set of Adire Extremis would be perfect, I need small, compact motors..... Anybody have some? Let me know, I will take them off your hands...

Hello! For those of you who don't know me my name is Mark and I am the man behind "Car Audio Fabrication" on YouTube. I have posted build threads before (like this one: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/topic/57168-video-build-log-fi-bl-rockford-fosgate-focal-knukonceptz-tip/ ) and if you have ever seen one you know that I love to mix in "How To" Videos throughout the build that describe the process and show each step. This build will be no different! well, it will a little bit because I am going to try to mix in a lot more pictures for your viewing pleasure! I love to help other car audio enthusiasts young and old, newb and veteran, so if you see something yo…

Round number two for the real deal. Started planning and collecting for this build a few months after I got the car, so basically a full year now. Don't really have an idea for goals yet, I hope its loud and I will get it metered in the spring.

Finally I got to do some real custom work again, seems like it's been forever. This customer is a great guy who loves to try out new speakers and gear all the time. He comes back regularly just to change things up a bit. This time, he wanted to take the kickpod plunge with his brand new Hybrid L3SE's and rework the door speaker position a bit. Since he does change drivers often, we had to make the door pods very user friendly so that he could. Here we go. Stackin templates to relocate the speaker location. Now, one shape. All the rings stacked up. You can see the countersinking set that is screwed into the base is removable to allow for the trim panel design. We …

Ok this build is up on most of the forums but I figured I'd put it up over here as well. There are a lot of pictures so I'll try and only put the important ones in here... Here are the first 2 peices... Working around the stupid hump in the back wall. Here is a picture of the back, this is at a slight angle which is causing all sorts of hell with trying to line everything up. Another shot Once again, those are all test pieces. The only "good" pieces I have are in the first 2 pictures. Pretty much the bottom, back, and the small hump. Another close up of the internal driver side. Shot of the drivers side. All those pieces are finished. Internal of the driver…
