Build Logs

Well yesterday finally got descent weather to let the kids play outside so I can work on my build. Yesterday I was able to start with the sound deadner I had purchased several months ago. I am going to have to order more I did not have enough. Also I am going to order the SDS deadner next time. I have read alot of good things about don and his product and he responeded within hours of my email about his products. enough talking here are my pics. So excited to get this started. First piece!!!! My Helpers!!!

This build is in a 2006 Nissan Xterra. I am currently upgrading a few things, so figured I start a build log. The equipment list at this point. Headunit: Pioneer AVH-X4800bs DSP: Alpine PXA-H800 w/RUX-C800 controller Amps: Memphis 16-MCA3004 on tweeters Alpine MRP-F600 for mids Alpine MRP-M2000 on sub duty Current drivers: Tweeters: SSA Evils Mid: Seas U18/RNX/P Subs: SSA Icon 15"s sealed Batterys: Super Start Platium 34/78PLT (front) Super Start Platium 48PLT (rear) Here's the pics!

I'm not sure if I've made a log for this or not, but here we go. We have here my shops 1994 Isuzu Pick up truck. Old system, 12 db Drive K9 10"s on 3 db Drive A73500's. Metered 157's at 54Hz and honestly sounded like doodoo. Here we have the first quick sketch I did after seeing Scott Bowemans truck in a video. Picking up the first 1/2 of the birch plywood we needed for the build. We jump forward a bit here to half way with the box. 1/4" Steel angle iron to hold the baffle in place and help keep box together. We have the baffle in. Sealed with wood glue, then silicon over the metal and all seams. Wires for the subs ran and cleaned up a little. Bolts for the wire to…

This is a build log for TMAX's 1998 Maxima, but since I have all the pics on my digital camera I thought I'd start the build log. The components to this system include. Head Unit Pioneer Premier 880 PRS Front Stage LPG Tweets Powered by a Kicker 100.2 with Seas 7" Mids Powered by two channels of a Kicker 850.4 (I can't remember the exact models so I will comeback and ninja edit when I do. I'm pretty sure it is exactly what ///M5 is running in his Silverado) Substage 2 Sundown 10" SD-1's powered by the other two channels of the Kicker 850.4 bridged to 4 ohms Deadening 2 Rolls Raamat BXT and 6 Yards of Ensolite which will be focused on the front doors and the trunk Day 1 …

I'm in the process of rebuilding my system and figured why not post a few pics. Any reasonable suggestions would be most appreciated. my system will be installed in my P.O.S. 02 cavalier and will consist of 1-An audiocontrol eqx 1- set hertz hsk 165 comps 1 pair of 10" peerless sls (for midbass) 3- rockford fosgate 25th anniversary punch 150's and a pair of Custom SSA Icon 15's(awaiting recones at the momment.) So far I have made some mounting brackets for the hertz mids and my amp rack. more pics and updates will follow but I don't have alot of time to work on my car so finishing this will be slow going. Here is how I made my brackets. The green marks the angle…

well unfortunately i dont have complete"biuld" pics but i do have some i can share.heres what i have to work with.first thing first,the vehicle.

My wifes truck is a 98 Dogde Ram Sport, 3"lift 33" tires. Current system: Alpine 9885 RF power 6.5 coax (only off deck) RF P2 12 in 1ft^3 sealed center console Eclipse xa 1000 (sub amp) The plan: Alpine 9885 RF power 6.5 PG Tantrum 400.4 Mach 5 audio Mj 18 M 4dvc 6 ft^3 tuned to 32-35 hz (Hvae heard blowthoughs lower tuning?) PG Tantrum 1200.1 She listens to mostly R&B and Rap so I think this should make her happy for the time being. I'll upload pics as I can Weather and work will determine how quickly this gets done. as always I am open to any suggestions or comments. Thanks Chad

I'm copying this from ***.. Well I guess I'll post up here too. Here's the 'daily'. 2005 Blazer. 4.3 V6 Automatic. A/C 4x4. Its got about 60,000kms on it. My dad and I started on this box. I had wenn_du_weinst design this for me. Its tuned to 35hz, I can't remember if he told me the airspace. Day one looked like this. Knocked a little piece out.. Lookin down the port. Bottom of the box.. Day two I glued the second baffle on, and cut out the sub holes. This is the second time I've used a jig saw, first time was yesterday when I cut out a mount for y CB out of some left over mdf. I think the holes turned out okay? Its all glued inside on the seams. This is what …

Figured I would post this here too as I'm using a couple SSA vendor products. Bringing it back for the sealed guys. Might be a while to get this one finished up but hoping I can get it done in decent time. Going with 4 AA Havoc 15's in a sealed 10 cubic foot Fisher Customs box. Hopefully Chris or BJ can chime in with a sketchup of the box. Power will be from an American Bass 500.1 running at .5ohm. Electrical I am adding 3 powermaster d3100's, a second positive run of 1/0 and two negative 1/0 runs. Already have one run of positive, a yellowtop, and a 200amp meangreen alt installed. Frontstage (already installed) is some boston pro's on a kicker zx550.2 in sealed/damped/o…

This is my first build log, please lower any expectations of competency... The system- Raxiom (rebadged Rosen unit) HU- got it because it integrate perfectly with the factory media and had NAV. Zed Audio Mikro 4 channel Rockford Fosgate T500 bd JBL Power Series 6 1/2" components in the front front (no speakers go in the doors (I take them off as often as possible)) Bravox 5 1/4" components in the sound bar (custom made mounting ring, CLD tiles to help the flimsy plastic) SSA XCON 10" in a ported box designed by the SSA store and built with the help of my buddy. It's my (and his) first speaker box built.

I'm started a new build for my 2007 chevy avalanche. the box will be 25 cft. 9 cft per sub with 400" port area tunned to 37 hz. I'm using 9518g subs pushed by a hifonics xxv sampson with 8 kinetiks hc1800 batteries. I provided a link i have too many pics to post here.please give me any feed back.I still have alot of work left .this is just the start. http://s948.photobucket.com/albums/ad328/cmcveigh74/

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

Equipment list: - Eclipse cd7000(fully active) - Zapco reference 1100.1(800 x1 @4ohm ) - Stereo Integrity Mag 12" d2(wired to 4ohms) 1.3 cube box sealed with polyfil - Avionixx 440.4 - Hertz HSK165s component set - Second Skin Deadening - Audio Control Epicenter(not being used) - Knu Accessories -plenty of techflex :tasty: pics: this is my favorite part, its the spare wheel screw, so my box is fully secured to the frame amprack: support beams:

I just got this installed last Monday, i believe the 13th, so anyway i have a 12bl fully loaded, sundown sae 1200d, should of got the 1500d, and all 0 gauge wire. I also have the box ported and built to specs. The only thing i need to do is carpet the box. I have all 0 gauge wire. My lights dim badley. I upgraded just the grpund wire in my hood with 0 guage and it stoped the dimming and could let me listen more. Just 1 problem.... How come when im listening to songs with really loud bass like beamer benz or bentley my system stops hitting for 3 seconds and then continues to hit, but if my volume is down it doesent stop.. Why is that? OHH by the way people think i have 4 s…

Hey guys manzkea back at it again! Lol. Finally got some equipment in. Excited to finally get this project I’ve had in mind for a while rolling . Gonna attempt a blow through in my single cab 2001 ford ranger long bed. Gonna make pods for the doors to house the 6.5s and replace the stock one with a 6.5 or if possible an 8” driver. All powered off the ssa ic150.4. As for subs I’ll be using a 15” sp4 v2 I got from a friend for a deal. A taramps 5k will be used to push it. Unfortunately the evil mids I wanted was unavailable in 4ohms. So I went with these prvs. Well I’ll I’ll be updating this as I get it going. Possibly next week or so, really busy with wor…

This is my new baby. I've only had it for about a month now. Its a 1974 Dodge Charger. My problem. It only has an AM radio. That a previous owner rudely cut the wires extremely short on. So I've set out to build my own small enclosure to put in an After market DIN receiver under my dash. Not wanting to harm the original hardware any of course. Many more pictures to come. Of all parts of install. Any of your guys' thoughts or opinions would be greatly appreciated!! thanks!!

A few months ago I deadened the floor pan and the rear wall with a roll of RAAMmat and it cleaned up the sound tremendously. I have a Massive Audio CW12 downfiring out of a JL Audio Stealthbox disguised as the middle seat. Then I decided that new speakers were in order because the JL Audio TR series were not doing a good enough job. I did some research and decided on Focal Polyglass speakers and the new Focal Solid 2 channel amplifier. Considering the 6.5 inch woofer and the 4 inch mid wouldn't fit in the stock 6x9 hole I had to make baffles and glass them into the doors. Right now its just a temporary solution until I figure out a better way to do it. This is not show qu…

my boy codys tahoe i built with his help and a few team members.. couple mechman 270s subs dyed the carpet shell complete

1996 Cavalier 2 door Cuirrently: 1 - Kenwood X994 Head Unit 1 - 18" Soundstream XXX 2 - Audioque AQ3500D.1 1 - Audioque 4x90 1 - Set Alpine Type R 6 1/2 components 2 - Optima Yellow Tops 1 - 155 amp Alternator Still to come: 2 - 220 amp alts 2 - XS Power D3100 batteries Sexy amps! Nice! Test fitting the baffle with sub mounted: Horrible safety mask! lol Grinding down and re-using the molded glass bottom of the prior box for this build. Trying to get as much box volume as possible while still keeping everything in the trunk! Pocket holes ftw! More test fitting Ports, front and back sides flared. Messy! Not so messy! Base of the box Start of more glass work.…

so im building a CNC machine capable of cutting full sheets of MDF, wood, plexi etc.. my goal is to be able to produce these for sale most cnc's that cut 4x8 sheets cost upwards of 100k and the backyard ones that you see aren't that accurate (over 1/16th inch accuracy) and still cost 4-7000 dollars, my goal is to get them build for under 2500 so anyways onto the build pics thats the render of the final product another render y and z axis

I'm transferring this over from another forum/ Some things might be out of order. I'm getting the car for next to nothing but it needs some work. So far I have replaced both front control arms and sway bar links. I'm redoing all of the front end (P/S pump, racl etc.) The sway bar bushing look swollen, so those are going to be ordered too. I'm hearing a slight "clunk" when I throw it in to reverse which I believe is either a bushing on the rearend or the flex bushing on the drive shaft. The carrier bearing is new, so I don't think that's it. The car has 209k on it. I'm also going to be ordering new plugs. Service the trans and rearend. I have a fair amount of cosm…

well me and one of my friends decided to start up a build on a wall for 3 15" BTLs... come to find out only 2 will fit but its all goot 2 BTLs it is front stage is yet to be figured out along with the sub amp.. 2 runs of 1/0 for power 1 run of 1/0 for ground phase linear touch screen ps2 8" lcd in airbag lots of fiberglass work bla bla bla heres the pics the car.. 3% tint all around, 3 rear windows are spraypainted black inside no longer transparent stripping the car

Been putting this off for a while. I have been contemplating on doing a wall then I said nah i'll just trade the sub and back to keeping it and doing something with it. Well here goes a buncha wasted time later and I finally decided to kick off the build. I decided to stay street and try something different for once. I will reveal my complete box plans once it is in the car. Time for pics.
