Build Logs

heres a friendly reminder of what the subs/box looked like when i first put it in over a year ago(i never found a reason to take an updated pic considering nothing ever changed) I yanked the subs to spray some spectrum in the box. mainly to make sure the subs are sealed a little better and because ive had the spectrum sitting forever so might as well do something with it. I sprayed just under a gallon in both chambers. Made some cardboard lip extensions. the goal here was to be able to attach the the fabric to the lip and stretch it into the box holes... We were unsure if this was gonna work well but it was the best idea/shot we had. Starting the fabric/…

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. Super close to tearing into it and getting it done, waiting on a few more things to arrive in the mail. 2001 Honda Civic Sedan ES1 Singer 320A Soundrive SDA3 12's Taramp's HD8000 Ex PPI 900.4 Xs Power D5100 & 3100 (maybe more battery coming) 4/0 welding cable SHCA Fuse Holders / Speaker Wire / Battery Terminals Kenwood X399 HU *Possibly going with SSA Evil 6.5 for mids, no clue on tweeters yet* Lots of mis…

(2) DD Z1's (1) Sundown 100.4 (2) Rockford P162s Components (one set per door so that's 4 6.5's and 8 tweeters total) (1) 200 amp alternator (1) Optima yellow top D34/78 (i think thats it) (3) Kinetik HC2000's (1) Crimestopper CS 2000 II TW (4) Runs of 0/1 (two positive two negative) Wall is roughly 15^3ft gross internal volume...I know it looks small...but I crunched numbers on Bass Box 6 pro, and the12volt.com's calculators for DAYS to get this right. After port displacement the bo…

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 …

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…

As I type this, I have yet to figure out how to get the pics of the build so far off the camera and cell phone and onto here, so any knowledgeable folks are welcome to jump in and help me out... Right now the box is together and the inside is painted, and I will be painting the outside with some textured stuff soon, or I'll just carpet it... Hopefully I get these pics on soon.

Ok it fell through with the GTI for now, and as disappointing as that is it made me wanna work on the 300 again and do it right this time. Go big or go home, So slow rebuild time.

I figured i would get started. should be finished this weekend with atleast the subwoofer box, trim panels will be a while, until i figured out what amps i'll be using car is a 2007 acura rdx tech with els audio- i'll be starting a build log as i get into it more conservative measurement of spare tire well, 7"high/ 27" diameter yields me over 2-1/4 cubes+box extends above well i should be in the 2.5-2.75 range when all done. i'll packing peanut the whole thing when i get it done. tuning will be sub 30hz depending on enclosure final size i was fine with bringing up the floor level, i could almost make due without raising th…

I finally got in the amp, midbasses and so on and got to work. The box has been under construction for the last week and is done, finally. 2 cf @ 30hz 25.5 in^2 of port. I didn't want a full height port because it would have been stupidly long. As such I built the port as a separate unit and then made a cutout in the front panel and a flared trim piece to finish it off. Here's the port. Then I laid out the template for the cutout. and made the cut on the router table. I doubled the baffle around the sub and glued the port in place. Here is the box minus the port flange ready for paint. The flange was going to be painted a different color. The baox itself is pain…

I helped a friend of mine out over the summer on his Lightning. System composed of... Pioneer head unit 2 sets of 6.5 Polk components 4 10" Polk subs Memphis 5 channel amp 1/0 wiring 2 Kinetik batteries Custom fabbed door pods, battery trays, and amp rack. The sub choices were limited due to budget and space. All factory power and grounds upgraded to 1/0 wire and a high ouput alternator is planned over the winter. All power and signal wires have been kept seperated. The cab floor, rear cab wall, and doors have been fully sound deadend. Sub enclosure. 3/4" mdf used with 3 internal braces. This was built by my friend Amp rack. Used 3/4x3/4x1/8" angle and some flatbar f…

Whats up yall. Started the box about 2 days ago, still need about another 2 days to finish everything. Its been raining but it'll be gone by tomorrow. This is my first 4th order enclosure, although I have built countless sealed and ported boxes. I am trying to keep this system lightweight, while still being somewhat loud. I had 2 Fi btls before but it was just too much weight for my car. 4th order is 1 cu.ft for the sealed chamber and 1.8 cu.ft for the vented chamber after sub and port displacement. It is tuned to ~43hz. 2 4" aeros. It is ported into the cabin via the rear seat armrest. Wat? Build consists of: 112 sq ft. of Dynacrap Xtreme Pioneer AVH-P5100DVD Arc Audio…

!!!!!A video build log - 4 Death Penalty 18's 4th order and 16 volts!!!!! I guess I will start by telling you that I am leaving everything in the Tahoe until I get the Blazer done. So you won't be seeing much equipment until it's done. Also, I would like to thank my sponsors for the great products that I have and will receive. Mechman alternators for the red 400 amp unit, beautiful piece!! XS Power for the new XP1000's and the D680's. Amazing batteries!!! Now with that said, onto the videos.

this is a build for 32 sundown E8 subwoofers powered by 2 SAZ-3000D's strapped @ 2 ohms. the box is aimed at 16 cubes, but due to the damn small space i have to work with (lol i have an SUV and i said small space ), it's going to be 14-15 cubes. tuned at around 33-34 hz. give or take since i dno the exact box space. it might take a little while to get finished. i need 4 extra hands to hold some rings while i glue em in place to make sure i know where they go to fit all of them. top part of the clamshell wont be so bad as far as placement, but bottom sucks! i can only go so far out because the seats are in the way. i can only angle them to a certain extent because i cant …

I Recently decided to change my setup and go with a little more. I loved my 18" BTL, but it was time for a little more. I am keeping most of the things from my old build but added on. my first build 2X Saz-2000D Strapped at 1 ohm each/ 1X 18" ascendant audio Mayhem XS D3100 battery 2X ascendant audio 7" Mid-bass drivers 2 pair of ascendant audio tweeter's more to come as i order hopefully going to start putting things together soon, waiting on a few more things to come. More pics soon!!

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!

Here are some pictures from my build in the suburban. The box is approximately 20 cu ft tuned to 34 hz. I have a 300 amp Ohio Generator alternator with 2 runs of 2/0 welding wire. The amp is an Audiopipe APK-5500 @1 ohm. I have a Boston Acoustics GT-42 running the selenuim mids and crescendo tweeters.

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.
