Already installed) -Blue Stinger volt meter (already installed. Need to wire up.) -Stinger 1/0 wire. Got about 25tft total for $50. -Sundown SAE-1200 (sold this to him on the cheap.) -2 12" Fi Q D1's. (These were my other buddies. He gave one to me as partial trade when I sold him my xcon and saz1500. And he gave the other to my buddy that owns the this Tahoe. I sold him mine for $50. Lol. They are both at the Fi factory getting reconed from D2s to D1s. But UPS broke one of the Damn magnets so now the…

Alright Ive been bored after work this week, so Ive decided to build a bandpass box for my 10" z-5500 woofer and see how it sounds. This is my first bandpass box so I went with the 3/1 ratio. Designed by me of course, tuned to 40 hz with 15 sq in of port per cube. On to the equipment! Who ever said all prefabs are bad????? Me giving it a quick sanddown Heres what the rest of it looks like. I built these little boxes during the winter (while I was bored also) They get hella loud Will eventually paint it, but good enough for now! It hits a hell of a lot lower and louder than the original prefab box.

I figured I should post this build as it's going to be completed by June 24, 2011. Which is the first day of Scrapin' The Coast. This is a build on a budget, just as all my previous builds have been. I'm 17 and install on the side.. Co-owner of SouthSlap.com. This is my 4th personal build to date. My last build was 6 T3 Audio T400 12s in a 2004 Tahoe on 2k. The platform for the build is a 1990 Honda Accord Coupe. 216,000 miles. All original. It's being painted this coming Monday, new tires on Tuesday, and lowered on Wednesday. Specs include: 4 - Vibe Audio Black Air II 12s 3 - sets of Vibe Audio SA50 Components 2 - Mids/Highs amps 1 - Hifonics Brutus 1600 1 - Shuriken 6…

This system was built by a shop in California before the owner of the vehicle moved out here to Arizona. The goal of the build was all SQ and, while some of the fabrication was okay looking, alot of it simply did not match with the quality of the sound. Also, it was pretty difficult to get to all of the amplifiers or the bit one if you needed to. So, the new goals for the new build were to dress up the trunk a little bit more so that it's style would be complimentary to the vehicle and to the sound systems. The door pods needed to be redone to accept a new size speaker. The tweeter pods in the a pillar needed to be completely rebuilt to allow for a much larger overa…

Well guys I been on this forum for a lil while and its overdue that I make a build log. I dont have much $ flow to work with so, I have to sacrifice some things to get what I have. This enclosure was originally for a 15" Fi BL, it was 3.5 ft sq, tuned to 34hz. I redid it for a 15" FI BTL. Pretty much took the face off and had help from a friend guide me through it. This was a quick fix for my enclosure and it still holding on. I dont hve much pics of the build log, but I will post what I have. I redid the enclosure to 4 ft sq tuned to 34Hz. I used PVC for aeros and flared them, but not so good job.

As the title states, gonna fab an iPad2 into the dash bezel of a Hummer H2. To do this, I will be deleting the row of 12v plugs at the bottom of the bezel. I will be deleteing the On-Star. I will be moving the HVAC controls to the very bottom. Fabricating a single DIN Alpine HU mount right above the HVAC controls and below the iPad. Relocating the 4 wheel drive controls and the load managment controls to the underside of the steering column panel. And then of course making a motorized mount for the iPad2. Sounds like such fun doesn't it?

This is a very fun little build for one of the guys who was there at the very start of SSA. Back in 2001 Travis was my roommate, and helped me build lots and lots of customer rides. In 2007 he bought 4 of our very first ICONs, they've sat ever since he bought them in the sealed boxes. We the other day we cracked a few of them open, and decided to put them in his 2002 Ford F150. We fired it up today for the first time, and below is the results on just 1500wRMS.

Finally got where I wanted to be audio wise after a few years. I have had lots of setups but like this one the most. It is the most musical substage (at low volume) I have had yet. I'd like to thank everyone for their help and knowledge along the way. Official TL score on the dash with all windows down 152.6 @ ~44 The subs are Fi BTLs

It took a little longer then expected, but my brother and I finished his truck stereo. The center console came out great!!!! My brother did almost all of the fab work, as I was busy with school and couldn't help much. We decided to go with a sealed enclosure for the death row at about 1.5 cu ft. It sounds fantastic in his truck. I wouldn't hesitate to run them in sealed boxes. His front stage consists of aura sound buyouts and vifa tweets with the madisound XO for them. Here are some pics of the build. Took a couple weeks to do everything. The box itself is in 3 parts. The enclosure for the sub, then the separate piece with cup holders, and the top piece that house…

I call it the '64 Blazer. It is actually a 95 GMC Jimmy. But everyone calls them all Blazers anyways. The interior is being built to look like a 1964 Impala SS. Hence the name I gave it. Ryan, the owner, calls it Black Betty.

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.
