Build Logs

I'm in the process of completely changing the crx's build so I decided to start a new build log. The old one can be found here: http://www.soundsolu...1-honda-crx-si/ The last thing I did in the build was add the new second amp rack with the LEDs under both amps (which I have yet to get a decent photo of, Sefugi). From there I was just so used to everything and was starting to compete in some comps and with a local in town. First thing that needed to be done was a new front stage, again. Pre ordered the Sundown Audio Neo Pro 6.5" mids with some infinity tweets. Found a great deal on an Alpine 9887 and grabbed that up quick. Before: After: Before: After:

Bringing my build log over here from a few other sites SOme of the wood used A look at the subs mids amp Stripped the interior for a gallon of Spectrum from Second Skin

I Already have the woofer/amp/batteries/wire end setup will be: 1 15" Audiopulse LMS Ultra 1 American Bass VFL 200.1 (rated 3k+ rms at 1 ohm) 2 Exide Orbital Deep cycle batteries Box undecided right now but will be built this weekend 125 Sq Ft RAAMaudio BXT 5 Yards RAAMaudio Ensolite All KnuConceptz 1/0 and RCA's 200 Amp EA Alt Heres the ish i have now in the closet All the wire and what not just got here from Knuconceptz and i have to say this wire is amazing those are 300 amp fuses and the inline fuse holders seem to be very nice, overall their a great company all my deadening material will be here Monday and my Alternator is on the way also from EA

This is a good buddies build. I got him hooked up with Mark to order 2 zcon 18s and 2 crescendo 5500s. Mark came through very fast on delivery. This blazer already had a 6th order for 2 IA dp21s. Doing decent numbers. But when we put the zcons in holy shit! We played with the back ported section and bumped up the volume a bit changing the ratio. In testing before the last show we managed a 159.5 and at the show after demos and playing around he was able to put up a 158.7 official score. I don't have a lot of the build pics since it had the 6th when I met him. Here's a few from the show.

but it's what i do. for work, lol. it's the start of a set of simple channel letters. these will be LED lit, on a raceway with a different font set of letters that are neon lit. i'll add pics as the process moves along. supposed to be done tomorrow, lmao. yeah. that's going to happen!! these are cell phone pics, so don't judge too hastly..lol anyway... how it all starts. a pattern, a piece of .090 aluminum for backing, and 5" wide strips of .063 alum for returns (or the sides) look closely, that red line? it's the carbon paper tracing i did of the pattern onto the alum. a few bends gets you this a few more bends gets you that..... to be continued. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…

OK, list of goodies SUB AMP: BRUTUS 1200W looking to replace SUBS: 15" DEATH ROWS HIGHS AMP: AUDIOPIPE 2004 HIGHS: IA 6.5 COMPS FRONT AND BACK DOORS ELECTRICAL: XS3400 (UNDER THE HOOD FOR NOW) BIG 2 in 2 gauge This is my daily driver, so it will be my daily ground pounder. Now for some pics gm calls these speakers? the placement is temp i will be putting the tweet in the door. im going to talk my boy who builds my boxes tomorrow for the measurements and all this is what the finished product will resemble

Well, im not going to lie, this build might take longer then i really want. i have BIG plans for the setup im wanting to do. i plan on running 2 DC level 5 12s. Im also going to get a stetsom 7k amp to power them. the box is going to be 5.5ft^3 tuned to 32HZ. i already have all the port material, i just need to start cutting them. i am going to make 6 4" round ports. i will have 75 sq inches of port area. these are the only pictures i have as of right now. ill get more in depth tomorrow, seeing as im about to pass out now haha. to tired to really get to work tonight. here is the port material im going to be working with.

94 astro 15 layers 8 neo pro 8s and 4 selenium t 350 tweets and 2 sundown 100.4 door riping/ and trim falling off mechman 320 alt/ with reg ass lifted The new Midwestspl etreme 4 record, 146.2 30sec. adverage 12" out passenger window.

So a week ago i designed this then built it with my dad for my brothers truck, a 94 s10 reg cab. The sub sits under the dash facing up and port is behind passenger seat. With polyfill it should be ~2 cubes @ 32hz its kind of crude and we couldnt afford the room for 45's or bracing, but it sounds really good and pretty even through a broad frequency range. My brother hasnt decided on a finish yet so its staying bare wood/caulk/putty/nails for a while... SPL testing will hopefully be the day before thanksgiving

Just start off by saying this will be a very slooooooow build. The car is stripped down to bare metal and will take a while to get back together. Plus the fact that I don't have a garage I may have to put the car in storage for part of fall/winter. The goal is to either use some of the equipment in my xb in this car, all of it, or buy more. For this season I am concentrating on the xb and will hopefully have the honda up by march. I have high hopes for this car, looking for 160+ sealed on the dash. Hopefully I can reach this goal. And if not it'll at least be funny to watch me drive the car into the lane. Looking to go with a flat black paint job atm, but how knows tha…

Hello everyone, I post this thread not only to show what has happened to my car over time but more importantly to thank everyone that participated in helping me. You who helped know who you are... Thank you so much for the ideas and the help and the encouragement. This thread goes out to you! I think this started in Summer 2006 I've got lots of pictures, not completely done with the newest phase, but I'll update this from oldest till now! Tryin to organize and figure out how everything can fit and still have the required air space... I love that little nipple thing in the middle Ya gotta upgrade! One of the best video game chairs EVER! This chair had more use OUTS…

Getting ready to install all of my stuff. Pretty much have all that I need to get this almost complete. Just waiting on an In-Line Fuse for between the battery and amp. Also waiting on my H/U, a Pioneer AVH-P4200DVD, wiring harness, and dash kit. All of this is going in here: Starting off with these bad boys 2 Fi Audio SSD12s (thanks FI) in an Argent Audio Enclosure (thanks Andrew): Mounted: Powered by this (thanks SA): Started off by mounting a piece of wood to serve as my amp rack in the trunk: Then I mounted the amp: Going to paint the amp rack black when it stops raining out here in LA. This is as far as I got yesterday. More to come in the next week.

HERES A COUPLE PICS OF MY BUILD

Truck- 2008 Escalade Subs- 2 AA chaos 15's Box 7cu ft@34hz Subs up port back

Where to start, we are doing a wall in this van for promotional use @ shows and events. System will consist of the following. (6) SSA ICON 15D2s (3) JBL GTO 1200II (temp. until power upgrade) Box Deminsions Volume: 12.9ft^3 before displacement per box (two seperate boxes) Port Area: 180in^2 port are (360in^2 in total) Tuned @ 35hz On to the pics of the build so far, we're pulling an all nighter tonight so hopefully we'll have it playing by sun-up.

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.

This is a build for 2 little MTX 10"s that were in my attic in a pre-fab sealed box, using scrap wood from previous builds. They'll be in my car until i start my 4 DP21 build, then they're going in my gf's car. On to the pics: All wood cut Piecing together

The plan . Air-ride for the fat A$$. 4-18's Dc m2xl's ( might change) 2 or 4 American bass 1100.1's 12v . Some wire.. some batteries . Building to do spl/demo.Air-ride DONE Next start the wall...more pic's soon.. Must do 160+ sealed @ dash

Alright, I figure I'll get lots of things I did wrong pointed out, oh well. Bear in mind that this is my personal vehicle and it won't be my primary for more than a couple more years (if it lasts that long as many miles as I drive weekly). The goal is active 3 way from passive 2 way with a clean looking setup and of course, a new woofer (since the Quatro was only meant to be temporary). I'll start with the boring "thank you's" first. Thanks big time to all of these people: Pete with Team Toxic Bass and Hexibaseforum.com (user = Hexibase) for the enclosure design help Scott at Fi for answering all my questions and selling me a great woofer Scott (xbrightsidex) and joe …

I'm building up a "foundation" for a future bass race setup in my Jeep. Right now, it's just for two 15's but I would like to get some heavy duty 18's in the future once I add more power to the mix.... The rear chamber is 9 cubes tuned to 33 hz and the front chamber is big with a big port The port and subs from the rear chamber will be facing right in front of the loading wall. For anybody that asks why I used particle board....Lowe's was out of MDF, plus it was cheaper. Not a big deal to be honest. We'll start off with what was in my Jeep before: Start of the tear out...

Its just getting started but i thought id show it from scratch as it goes along.. Gonna run two evil 18s ..still waiting on the second one

Some of the Equipment. Real build Log With steps Coming SOON!

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:

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

I think I have yet to do an actual build log here. We will see what you guys think of this and maybe I will post some more here.
