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/…

Well im re building.. i have had this planned for awhile but i hate going to build logs with no pictures so i figured i would start it as soon as i get a few. i got all my wood and got it cut today. i have a few pic of it set up in the back of my blazer but not put together. Just to get a feel. my setup is 1 fi btl 18" with a rockford t30001bd wired to 1 ohm. my old box was 9.xx cubes tuned to 32 hz but i thought it was too large so i am building a box that is 7.8cubes after displacement tuned to 30 hz.

Well, here goes yet another build. I got me another F250, this one will look better, perform just as well and possibly be just as loud at some point. But for now I will keep it simple for atleast a few months, this build may change alot as time goes on, as have all my builds. lol But I am definitely keeping this truck. 2012 F250 6.7 Diesel, Lariat 4x4 Sterling Gray, 35% tint Mods planned 22 x 12 Gear Alloy Big Block wheels (black) 35 x12.5 x22 Toyo MT's Amp Power steps 4.5in lift kit, dual steering stabilizers Recon Black Halo Projector LED headlights Recon Smoke LED tailights Paint matched bumpers and grill surround Line-X bed Slim low profile black toolbox for bed…

ITS ABOUT TIME. Officially today I finally purchased an 05 black GTI 1.8. So far I am in love with this small little packed hatchback. Overall the body is in excellent condition compared to other GTI's i test drove/looked at. Not to mention the interior is perfect. It is a manual and the clutch feels much better than my Evo.

OK gentlemen- Time to start a Build thread for my 2007 Avalanche. First off- this is in the planning / parts gathering stage- and it isn't gonna be an overnight kind of build. So be patient with me. Plans- 2 DSS Ethos 15's 10 cubes tuned to 22hz (looking for loud without being real peaky) in the bed Crescendo Power (BC3500 and C1100.4) Pioneer H/U (something in the avh-x line) Not sure on Front stage yet Plan to run a Singer Alt(320 amp most likely) Dual AGM stock size batteries Story up til now. I had my Burb since last spring-- and after doing the system for the Suzuki, I ended up buying the Crescendo 3500 from W140, and placed a pair of DSS Ethos on order duri…

I decided to start the Build Log finally, unlike most it isnt complete and wont be finished in a month or two (as Im still making decisions and buying gear at the moment). I am going to start the build with what has been done in the trunk so far. Bare naked trunk, starting battery factory location (2 - 1/0 AWG Kicker Hyperflex, soon to be 2 - 3/0 Welding Cable runs of ground wire). Trunk with Carpet Sundown SAX-125.2 (for mids - all wiring will be upgraded to KnuKonceptz Kollossus 4 Gauge and KnuKonceptz Karma 16 ga. speaker wire).

Ok, so this guy from Calgary ordered up some subs a little over a year ago for his home theatre setup. A little over a month ago, he phones me again telling me they aren't enough. We start sharing info and I find out he was the Canadian car audio champion back in the early 90's. So after a 17+ year hiatus, it just so happens that Big Dave is planning to get back into the car audio scene once again. He calls himself 'Big Dave' for just reason - he's bigger than me and has that deep, husky voice you can only associate with men of larger stature. Eight IXL-12's, four MLI-65's and a 2000 Ford F250 bought primarily for car audio, this should be a very interesting build. He…

Figured id start the build log . Dont have any pictures yet though. If anyone remembers this is the car I had the trunk wall with 2 12" zcons a while ago . Then reconed the zcons to 18s and walled them in a van. Well the van rear end boke in half on the way to slamoligy this year so now going to wall the sable . Will be 2 18" zcons Taramps 10k (bought one to try out. Never tried a taramps befor) Ssa evil mids . Not sure on the highs yet Ppi 900.4 Singer alt 4 130something ah dekas and an xs for under the hood Lots of welding cable I will start posting pictures once I start on the wall

This is Grasshoppers's wife's ride. Since he has been doing so much to his truck she wanted a little attention as well. So we are putting a little something together for her. Just a nice system to give her some decent tunes for going to get groceries. Here are a few pics of the Hoe.

I'm going to quadruple this setup in a few months, but I pulled the trigger and bought one so I could do some testing. Not just on the sub, but I have alts that I like to test in-vehicle, and I can move 1 18 that can handle a ton of power around from vehicle to vehicle pretty easy. This temporary setup is 1 18 TSNS in 5ft net @ 35Hz. It's 70sq of port and kerfed. Amp is an American Bass 1000.1 @ 4 ohms with 3 D3100s and 1 240a alternator. Having owned numerous beefy subs I will say the weight and size of the motor on this thing makes it the most impressive looking. 102 lb ship weight The sub has direct 8g leads, using Raptor wire. The Raptor is on the left, …

This will be my first post on this forum. i am building a c pillar wall in my 2010 scion xb rs.

For those that don't know, Sold the jeep, decided to get something somewhat sporty with enough cargo room for a nice substage. Behold the 2002 volvo v40... Front tires have several 2" long slits, ordered some bridgestone potenzas for the front & rear. The cargo area for substage... Drivers are undecided, well see what happens Before: During: Black chrome paint on embem: All done And my fathers car... By the end of this week they'll be new tires, powder-coated wheels black, and windows tinted. On order: new fuel pressure regulator, alpine-cde 102 headunit, dashkit, and wire. Have to contact DC Power about swapping cases on my current alt to fit this. Thi…

This topic is really for my new upcoming build which will be two Sundown Audio SA-12s on a Hifonics BRX 2400.1D sealed off from the trunk. The box is currently being built by Dave The Box Guy, it will have three different tunings with interchangeable ports (20Hz/28Hz/45Hz). For now, while I sit and wait, I am going to post my current set up just to show you all some of the work I have done so far. I don't have all the pictures since some things were done a little while ago such as, deadening, changing my door speakers, wiring etc. but I will eventually tear some things off and show you how I installed everything. Here it is.... Current build: Head unit: Kenwood K…

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. Subs: 2 12" PSI Platform 1 Dual 4s- Sub Amplifier: Crescendo Audio BC2000D @ 1 ohm- I am using a PAC LC1 and love it.

for those of you that didnt see in the other thread, i took the first one out. i really wasn't happy with it once i thought about it. this one, already with the false floor, is coming out alot better. the floor is 2 layers thick. the first layer is bolted with 1/2" x 2.5" bolts in the rear, and up front its tite bonded, and screwed to those 2x4's u see under there. the 2x4's themselves are also bolted to the body with the same bolts. none-the-less, its very sturdy, and not gonna budge. the 2nd layer is self explanatory, its to make is 100% level (to cover the bolt heads used to bolt the first layer down) and to clarify, the cuts i made on the rear cross-member, to get tho…

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.
