Build Logs

I was thinking of using aero ports instead of a slot port. That's where I get stuck. Ia2 recomended 240 inchs of port at 32 hertz in 17 cubes so how do you figure out how many aero ports and how long?

how do you determine how big and what hz they are?

the ol' beater pioneer deh-p680mp got it for $50 bucks today i used some jensen 5" pods that were under my dash and a pair of memphis 15-PRC5 Power Reference 5"(free) and i piece of mdf and came up with this also for some highs i found these in the garage and supprisingly the jam pretty good now electrical wise i have 4ga big 3 temporary....cheap new batt, and new stock alt that was free amp i got now is wack but in a week im finally gonna send my saz1500 to db-r.....that voltage is w/ the car off sub is a rockford POWER hx2 15 d2 - box is around 4.5 cuft ported and tuned @ 40 hz volts at idle 1. 2. sub is in backseat.. ill go ahead and say it now b4 u ask 1. i…

Well I have been working on my car for about 2 weeks now and figured I should post up some pics of the build. The car is being built to compete in MECA's amatuer street SQ class. The car is not 100% done yet, it just needs to be made pretty and then I am set, but that won't happen before the comp. at Casper Saturday. Before I begin I want to say thank you to Mark at SSA (for one of the best sounding subs that I have ever heard), Jacob at Sundown (for some very well built amps), all of my buddies at SoundCheck (Goddie, Cooper, RP, Hank, and Ryan), and my team mates Marshall and Chris. Equipment being used is in my sig. Here are the pics in order (somewhat)

Okay, we were finally able to get the vehicle that will be replacing the van as our daily driver. I found a nice 2010 Traverse AWD with everything the wife wanted in it and a little more with decent miles on it and I even got a decent deal on it. Now, the wife realized before we even got serious about shopping for one that we should probably tone down the size of the install in the new vehicle. While she was/is still wanting some good sounding speakers and some bump going to the the size and extent of the build in the van was more than we need for this one. One of the biggest reasons for that was simply because of the damage the Q's caused the van. Before I installed…

real simple build that is semi-temporary. xmas im geting another amp so ill just have to cut a new piece of mdf and mount it up there. sorry for the crappy pics... used the camera on the phone and i worked on it at night. first i mounted a piece of mdf with bolts to the metal. next i got another piece of mdf to bring the amp rack out so it clears the rest of the rear deck. here is the mdf rack mounted on there. showing the clearance with the sub box in. AA arsenal ftw pic of the sub box. (the amp rack hasn't been added yet but u wouldn't be able to see it anyways. finishing it tomorrow night.

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…

I have a 2005 Honda CR-V EX. This is the stuff I want to get for my system: Head Unit - JVC KD-AVX-44 Sub - 15"Fi Audio Q- Series Front - Phoenix Gold RSD 65CS Rear - Phoenix Gold RSD 6.5 Amp (Sub) - Alpine PDX 1.1000 Amp (Interior) - Phoenix Gold RSD500.4 Enclosure - Made by DCole ( someone from another message board) Install Kit - ??? What is a good Install Kit to use? I know I should use 1/0 guage wires for the kit. I was looking at KnuKoncept Kits, but the one I wanted is sold out. I emailed the company and they said a new kit should be out by the end of the month. So I may end up going with that. Is there anything I left off that i'm going to need? I know I…

Nothing much, so far. But I figured I might as well get this started.. things to be done: new box for 15" nightshade d2 amp rack for kicker 1000.1 customize doors for earthquake mids (eventually neo-pros) mechman 250 amp alternator installation rims, tint, headlight bulbs, exhaust system, air filter system, decal, vtec conversion, shocks, springs, LOTS more.. anyway, my ride 1996 Honda Civic EX Coupe non-vtec original paint, not too bad.. may repaint in future. Installed this muffler myself Borla muffler on stock exhaust system lol. will upgrade exhaust system as well Lol, my stock 14" rim with 2% tread on the tire.. i definitely need new wheels! DOHC ftw. lol

This box is a rebuild due to his last box apparently never being built correctly. A 15yr old guy on ca.com that seems to do decent work built his last box, but it was rattling from day one and Ben thought it was the sub, and I, telling him the whole time it sounded like either his hatch or the box. Either way, the top plate of the box seperated from the enclosure walls and really rattled, making this setup un-playable. So we decided to build him a new one. Ernie started this box yesterday and we finished it up today. old box. new box. we'll have to get some video's of this thing now. It flexs everything in his car, digs down nice and low and distorts my voice e…

Just built this a few days ago...havin some power issues so I can't put it in the car quite yet, but here's the build. Hopefully someone can help me out here... as you all know, the edges are easy to clamp down so they don't move while you are screwing them in, but how do you do the port...my port kept moving like this. What I had to do, was just glue it down, and Silicon it until it dried, THENNNN i tipped the box on its side and screwed it down, but this kinda defeats the point of the glue then.. any techniques you guys could give me?? Thanks. I used silicon II and resin on all the edges and corners..... somehow a few pieces of 1/2" MDF got in there... I ho…

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.

alright, so just after I get everything into the rocky, I find out that my dad might be getting his money from his dads IRA this coming week, and buying a newer Nissan Frontier, which would then make me the owner of a 92 Nissan Hardbody king cab so that I can sell my rocky and F150 and use the money to build a shed. (I work for them maintaining their rentals so I store a LOT of crap at my house (tons of paint, big tubs of paint supplies, plumbing parts/tools, electrical, etc...) anyways, I could siphon a bit of the money from the vehicle sales plus regular income for a build. I would once again reuse the Pioneer P600UB, maybe reuse the infinity 475a amp, and scrap everyth…

Ok this is for a buddy of mine ... I am helping him with his build in lifted 1999 F250... it will be 2 15in icons in 8cubes tunned to 32hrz with 128sqin of port. big three and dual batts aslong as amps and front stage will be determined later once funding is here.. shouldnt be longer that two months. for now it will be off a pos dhd2000 with what ever he has as frontstage and deck. here is a pic of the box tell me what u guys think and if we should go with this design the space ontop of the port is blocked to cut down the box size.. i still got .88 cubes to play with and some bracing to add.

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've been looking through different build logs and was woundering if anyone has posted a build log for like a 2000 dakota ext. cab with 2 15"as yet. I was just wanting some extra ideas about designs before i finalize the one i currently have I,ve seen BASSAHAULIC's build but i think he ran 18"s. Thanks for the Input?

m/albums/uu129/aqfirebird/cliffsfirbird018.jpg 1996 firebird 4 AQ HDC 12's with 4 AQ 2200ds the car is as on audioque.com and is the 2009 incriminator point cup champ!

Slowly but surly this Tahoe will become a basic demo vehicle. I already have 2.5 bulk packs of dynamat in the rear plus some Black Hole 5 in the rear doors.

Well, first off. This is going to be off to a slow start. As some of you know, I totaled out my beloved daewoo and did not have full coverage. I was also between jobs when it happened. So I just picked this 2dr, 4wd blazer today, literally. I got it for a good deal. It needs some work, but it'll be worth it. I got some shit to fix on it, A/C, some suspension work, and I think the front axle solenoid is bad, I hear the transfercase solenoid kicking in, but no pull from the front. Few little nick nack things to fix. No biggie, I'm good at turning a wrench. Any way, I'm pretty well broke right now, until I get steady cash coming in. Most likely the build will start with on…

This car is a 2000 daewoo nubira, yes a daewoo lol. This car has changed so many times its retarded. I am a diamond audio nut hugger, you can't beat the output and SQ of their subs. I know at least one member will vouch for me I'll try to start with oldest pics then go to newest. It might get mixed up a little. Current gear 2 Diamond audio D6 12s D4s wired to 1ohm 1 Atomic AT3000.1 (awesome amp) 1 Hifonics ZXi150.4 (great budget amp, goobs of power) 2 atomic 3 way comp sets up front 1 Pioneer DEH-6000ub 4 runs of 0ga 180/230 amp alt(stock was 65/85) SPP1200 under the hood 1 HC2000 in the trunk and of course ans LC-1 On to the pics This was the first ever setup in this c…

Finally got a client to rep some Ascendant Audio gear around town.It's a 2003 Chevy Tahoe total system overhaul.Should make for an extremely solid setup that is going to wail on the lows and sound good doing it. Kenwood Excelon KDC-X693

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…
