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 know, its been a while, but i was help up by my interior guy, he was covering the back side interior panels, and i couldnt put the box in, until i got those back...but i got them back, and heres what ive done in the last week or so. mrray came over to the Mini forum, so i figured ill just start posting here again all the pics. this is copied and pasted from my other threads, i will start updating this thread on the regular though, until its done. pics starting in post 2. PS- if u dont like what you see, please press back on your browser. dont crap up this thread please. im learning as i go too, as this is my first wall build by myself 100%...the one in my explorer was b…

Well my wife decided she wanted some beat in her ride so I just got done with everything and figured I would create a build log for everyone to check out. The goal for this build was to keep the vehicle functional as if it were stock and still be able to use the cargo area to haul stuff. 2008 Chevy Equinox Some images of it Stock Stock Radio Back of vehicle Stock Audio gear and Parts being used LAN Data Bus Interface GM Onstar GMOS-LAN-01 F3 Street 0 Gauge amp package Bullz Audio 1/0 wire Antenna adapter Assorted Mini Anl Fuses with led's Ground Distribution Block Power Distribution Block with Voltage guage Rockford Fosgate RFX9300 Rockford Fosgate P500-2 …

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.

Figured i would go ahead and start a new build log Ive been on here for a while just never posted here much, most of my time is wasted on CA.com, gonna start wasting some more time here now also just gonna copy some stuff over, so some things might not make too much sense Pulling out the 4 15s, putting in 4 12s in a smaller box, Vehicle is my 04 Explorer Setup will consist of Kenwood DDX812 Rockford 3Sixty.2 RF T6004 RF T4002 RF T40001bd 4x DC Audio LVL 4 12s Hertz MLK2 running Active old setup was same, just with 4 15" RF T2s in a 16cu ft wall, which was an awesome build, i just decided walls arnt my thing, want to step to somethign smaller Also the reason i have all RF,…

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.

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. The car: 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cierra A.K.A The Cream Puff Head Unit: JVC KD-HDW10 A basic CD player with a built in HD tuner and RCA outputs Amps: 2 US Acoustics USB-4085 1 at 85 watts x 4 @ 4ohms (mids and highs) 1 at 240 watts x 2 @ 4 ohms (subs) Fronts: Powerbass 3.5" coax in stock location Rear: MTX Thunder Axe 5-1/4" components Subs: 2 Ascendant Audio Atlas 15" Electical: S…

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…

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 …

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 …

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

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.

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.

- 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…
