Build Logs

Going in a 2003 Ford Explorer, this build will be crazy. As of right now, rmzsuzuki89 may not be on much so hopefully he sees this so i can continue with his build. I need some more dimensions.. i'm running out of room, The current box i have designed is 48" wide x 45" high x 33" deep. Then the box rises 5" from their and goes back another 20" maintaining 48" wide x 40" high. So first question, can this design fit? 2nd, can i go deeper and if so how much before it hurts...... Your remaining space

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?

Ok my? is i'm putting 1 sa12 in my hatch should i have sub up or sub back forward or what?the port is on the side

Hey Everyone, I've been reading this forums for a while and only recently created an account to start posting. This has become my favorite car audio site, especially since it has a great interface for my phone at work Anyways, here's the first car I bought, a 96 v6 Camry xle, and it is time to start it's journey in car audio. It will be a long one as I like to save for a while and buy bigger after learning my lesson going cheap and regretting/wanting more. I won't post my plans for the car as they change somewhat every time i sit down and put some thought to it. I'll mainly be updating as parts show up on my doorstep, past the point of no return for me haha. Heres…

Trying to make room for a larger box to fit in from the front of the trunk/rear seat. You can see there is some sheet metal in the way that would need removing. Think this would hurt the structural integrity of the car? Lazy half azz drawings...sry The pieces outlined in yellow triangles will bolt out. I would have to cut my rear deck trim panel up to the red line. The orange rectangle is a slight hump that may limit my height of the box getting through, its probably removable but will not be able to be put back after without welding lol. It may not interfere after cutting the top of the opening. I marked a red line on the back about egual to the red line on t…

Some of you may have seen this on another forum...but I figured I would post this here as well. This is actually a friend of mine's truck, so this was all done at the house "off the clock"....so it took a few days of after hours work to get it going. Product... 24 10" Audioque 2.0 dual 4 ohm sub-woofers 4 Audioque Pro-Audio 6.5"s 4 Audioque Pro-Audio Tweets 2 Audioque 3500Ds 1 Audioque 120.4 All Cadence wires 9 C&D batteries Dual DC alternators (300amps each) Here is the truck... The product (some of it) The rough idea.... The enclosure.... The amp rack..... still working on it... All baffles were done for what the owner wanted to see cosmetically, but came out …

Yup, decided id go the other way and make an awesome front stage before tackling the subwoofer stuff first! ive always had different 6.5 comp sets and a sub stage but even with tuning and refining, never felt like you are there at the show front and center. ive gotten the staging close but with active x/o's on a on-axis 2-3 way front stage, i think thats what im really looking for. currently running 01 accord hertz hsk 6.5 comps old pioneer deck, also have a alpine 98-47 that ive had forever. soundsplinter rlp-15 future plans 2-3 way active front stage. ipod/iphone with line driver. or maybe an active deck? us amps md 21 on hertz tweeters 125-200 rms bridged 4 ch. …

building this box for 1 10" icon...it will be 1.35 @27hz here are a few pics from last nite box and amp rack design

This is just a get loud build. And loud it is. SQ was out the window before the pen hit the paper in discussions about this build. So don't tell me it will sound bad.

Hey everyone, Im starting a build on my 99 isusu trooper. My X18 dual 2 ohm sub came in today and i ordered a hifonics zeus 1800w rms amp a couple days ago for a temporary amp. Im planning on getting a sundown amp later on. Im going to start on my box when it gets a little warmer out. Im going to be posting pictures of the build over the next few months. To start off, heres my sub. Hope you guys enjoy

So recently my brother crashed his car it was his college present from my parents he had it for like 3 yrs and my parents had only liability insurance I'm only 15 and my bro said if i fixed it it would be mine but once im able to drive(1 year) so lil by lil I've been fixing it. The side that was crashed messed up both struts so I was like ill get some coilovers so i got the coilovers on by myself then i needed a fender ordered it and now i bought 2 doors so for now i just need the rear bumper and quarter panel. The guy from the bumper said 1600 to fix it without the parts so i bought him the parts now i just need 1600 to finish it and like 400 for some details here and th…

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 …

Well i started this tonight. I'm still up in the air between picking either Sundown SA 10's, or Skar Audio VVX 10's. I'm kinda of leaning toward the Skars, simply because not many people have the 10's, and i see a lot of SA10 single cab truck installs. But anyway, the box is 2.4 cubes net with 2 4" PVC pipes (flared at the end) tuned to 33 hz. Will finish the box in the next couple of days, but still need to sell me current sub to buy the new ones. Anyone have suggestions on what kind of 10's i should run? I'll be putting about 1300-1400 wrms to the pair. And, is the little "blocker bar" in front of the port a good idea with the port being only about 7" from the sub? i'v…

Im thanking of putting 3 SA-15s in a 4th order wall and ive read around and some say a 2:1 ratio and some say 3:1 ratio and to tune port side highh 45+- i know it changes from vehicle2vehicle and power but what is the best place to start? and any ideas on what size it might need to be? (for a rufe estament)

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.

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)

this isnt really a worklog, its kinda the opposite wall v1.2 coming at a later time.......never even heard this one, oh well.... reason for removal: it was in my way to lay frame, and i should have done bags before the wall, but whats done is done. let there be light! trash:

Well i am Liam from England been into car audio for 4 years now i have had the car from standard to what it looks like today all work has been done/paid for by me. The main aim for the car was a streetbasser that competes in propper droppers which is a format over here that tests how flat your system plays between 20Hz and 40Hz they test the system with the termlab on the passenger headrest and a window or door open, they test 20,25,33,40Hz and your peak then you get an average i am currently the loudest system in walled under 6,000rms. I have had 4 walled systems in the car over the last 2 years. 6 12s flat wall, 8 budget 12s ported tunnel then replaced the budget sub…

Hey everybody. I got into car audio about a year ago and have learned a lot. When I got my BL some people sounded interested in my build with my Camry. So here it is finially. I was waiting until I had some good pictures saved up to post. Cuz we all love to see those pictures. This will be from the start of my system to my most recent additions. Hope you all enjoy.
