I started a building for the two DP21"s a couple days ago. They'll be powered by four JL 1000/1v2's. Also doing a couple layers of Damplified Pro on the roof. Should be done this weekend or next week depending on what kind of distractions come up. What it's all going in. Everything. It was a bit breezy. Port. That's all I have done right now, more pics coming tomorrow.

Well it has been ssssuuuuuppppeeerrrr long since I built this, and I'm just now posting it up. Put 'er together right after school let out, had it in before the first week of summer even finished.

This is the first time I have actually built anything but test boxes for my subs. I have had 9 other cars and I never have them long enough to put a real system in them. This current build will be for my 2006 Mitsubishi Endeaver. So far I have a Stinger SPP2150 up front with my stock alternator, I have already done the Big 3. I am using the stock headunit, Epiccenter Plus, Kenwood Excelon amp (at most it puts out 100x4 into 4 ohms), Hertz Hi Energy components in the front doors (soon to be relocated to kick panels), Alpine Type R 6.5's in the rear doors, a Hifonics Brutus 1700.1d, and 2 12 inch IA Lethal Injections. I am selling an old pair of Alpine Type R 12s and the Br…

Almost forgot to post the build over here lol. Started the build on sunday. Anyhow, on to the pics. The design: started construction on the box. it's going to be a little smaller than initially planned at 2.1 cu ft. it's really my first enclosure with kerf'ed panels. i reallllllly need to get some big clamps. that would have made things MUCH easier. yes i'm using screws just to mess with Don :gapteeth: no clamps, so i had to ghetto rig it somehow. it works. a tiny crack started to form. i put some glue on it. seems to help it from spreading. starting to kerf the other port piece... waiting to get bent into shape. a few days went by. sub came. got myself a clamp …

This is my first real build up with decent equipment. I have some of this installed. All I am waiting for is My box to be built and my amp to get here Monday/Tuesday. (I know where i placed the crossovers are not in the greatest place but cannot change it now) Kicker speaker wire for the components A box that came in the mail....Kicker 0 Gauge(got a good deal on it) I also bought Some KLM and i think one to many fuses lol. My RCA's 30 GB Ipod

Finally got a client to rep some Ascendant Audio gear around town.It's a 2003 Chevy Tahoe total system overhaul.Should make for an extremely solid setup that is going to wail on the lows and sound good doing it. Kenwood Excelon KDC-X693

I have one XL in, the other one should be here in a couple days. Waiting more paypal to clear then my stetsom 7k's will be on there way. I will be wiring one stetsom too 1.4 ohms for daily use and will be wiring each stetsom too .7 ohms for burbs at shows. I need to get one of the stetsoms repaired will cost $300 too get it fixed. Constructive feedback is welcome!

Let me first start by saying I have mad respect for walls or laying down seats you don't need for more room. But for me I like the challenge of keeping my room, always have. I have a wife and 4 kids that still ride with me in a daily basis. I've always liked it loud but you also got to be able to hear the words clearly. So with this build I wanted to compete, not to win just for fun, and keep all of my seating. I bought an American Bass XFL 15 when I had my van and still had my 12-15 year old Diamond Audio Amps. When I got the Durango I built a sub back port back box and fastened the amps to the back of the seat. It was basic clean looking even though I never finished the…

Been working on my new build in my 91 318is e30 BMW. You might have seen the budget build I did on my daily beater e30. This one will have much better fidelity and volume capabilities. Here is a list of the equipment going in: HU: Clarion DXZ785USB Front Stage: Rockford Fosgate Fanatic P 6.5" components Rear Fill: Eclipse 3 way coaxials (sorry forgot the model number) Interior Amp: Performance Teknique ICBM-774 4ch amp Sub: Ascendant Audio Havoc 12 Dual 1ohm Sub Amp: Performance Teknique ICBM-Digital mono amp I went with the Havoc on the advice of a member here who had one and could give me an incredible deal on it... must say I am very impressed with it's clarity and …

I've been here long enough. Time to nut up or shut up, as the saying goes. Here are some pics of what I built. The goal: Loud. How loud? 140+ on the Term lab. The challenge: To do it with low power and a sTock electrical system. Journey with me as I go for the moon. First some info of my build.

This is a re-build of a false floor i did about 2 months ago. The first one was a rush job that i had to do in a Friday night and half a Saturday. It looked like this. The whole reason he brought it back was to get a fiberglass trunk piece done.(it is at the paint shop now, but i will get pics when it is back on) He decided to keep the same sub, but i talked him in to an amp upgrade. Now installed is a PDX 4.150, and a PDX 1.600.

- Nightshade 18'' with new aluminum pole plug with 4 spiders (2 soft, 2 hard) - Audioque 2200d @ 1 ohm - 8'' Sonotube - ~5^3 @ 32Hz After all displacements other than port displacement, I was at 5.38 cubes. I put 12.75'' of port inside and 7.85'' outside the box for a total of 20.6''. 12.75 is about the max inside the box I can fit because I want 8'' clearence from bottom of port to the bottom of box. The port is 8'' diameter and tuning is 32hz. I'm not sure if I have the correct amount of port on the outside..but I can always add on. If anyone can chime in on this, that'd help alot. This is my first own box build Had some trouble reaching all the w…

Thought I would post up some pictures of my build. Im pretty excited because its my first build and my first stereo system. Its going in a 00 toyota camry. its nothing fancy car wise. but I figure if I have access to a wood shop and such why not build it? heres whats going in it Alpine 9885 headunit pheonix gold octane R's 5.25 components with tweeters Hifonics TXi6406 Sundown audio SAZ-1000D 15 inch massive audio DMX stg2 CF subwoofer box is ported at 3 cubic feet tuned at 34Hz audio control epicenter I know the amp for the sub is kinda on the small side but it should do for now until i get a better sub and amp later on down the road when i get back to the states. right …

Ok today i got started on the tear down and rebuild of the 2000 Lincoln Town car. Enjoy!!! The car The old setup

Cross posted from smd Just picked this up today to convert to a show car/competing car. Building starts tomorrow, and I warn you it will be a little slow at first. Car - 1987 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser Station Wagon, 307 Y roller cam. Dual flowmaster 40's Seats 9 Rear 3 way components already installed in the far back pillers, 3 sets of RCA's ran, along with a run of 4 gauge (will be replaced with new 0/1) THINGS WRONG WITH THE CAR (that I know of) Needs a starting battery Valve cover gaskets A/C compressor (probably just going to throw an alternator there) Tune up Shocks The interior on this car is immaculate. No tears, no stains, no cracks in the plastic, no scrapes, n…

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…

Starting a build log for my 1995 Cadillac Eldorado. Will use Pioneer Head Unit, Blues speakers, and Linear Power amps. Working on it as I have time, will update as often as possible.
