Build Logs

So, last Saturday me and my dad got to work on my Cavalier. And it's time for me to give back to the community some. And away we go! :slayer: First part Big 3! 2004 Silver Chevrolet Cavalier^ Engine bay with battery and intake/filter removed^ Battery/filter bay.^ Crappy wiring which I hope to make really nice by mounting amps to back of rear seat.^ Head-amp removed as per last album's releasing of magic smoke. You can find that here.^ Current amp rack. Crappy job really needs some tlc.^ Current amp rack from behind. Crappy job really needs some tlc.^ Wiring from cab to computer/engine bay + 1/0 awg for amplifiers in trunk.^ If you can tell that's the alternat…

alright, so just after I get everything into the rocky, I find out that my dad might be getting his money from his dads IRA this coming week, and buying a newer Nissan Frontier, which would then make me the owner of a 92 Nissan Hardbody king cab so that I can sell my rocky and F150 and use the money to build a shed. (I work for them maintaining their rentals so I store a LOT of crap at my house (tons of paint, big tubs of paint supplies, plumbing parts/tools, electrical, etc...) anyways, I could siphon a bit of the money from the vehicle sales plus regular income for a build. I would once again reuse the Pioneer P600UB, maybe reuse the infinity 475a amp, and scrap everyth…

Lil bit of pics anyone? ;o

Here's a vid of me doing the cuts for my girlfriends sealed box for her 10" Dcon. We're doing a ported one next week and seeing which one suits her best. Both boxes built to SSA's optimal specs. Her dad owns a shop with TONS of machinery and this happens to be one.. and he's giving me access to it all whenever I want.. so I'm starting my box-making experiences with the best of the best Enjoy the vid! I'll be posting more pictures/vids of the build later on as things progress. I'm currently in high-school and working 30+ hours a week so I'm limited on time.. but I'm doing as much as I can when I can. ANYWAY . . . Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kH5Vrvpd…

Just worked on a small sealed box for a 1988 Chevy Camaro Iroc-Z! Found a router laying around my autotech class, man. Looks pretty nice. And for my FI Q 18 box, I rounded it, sanded, fixing to paint the port and get some carpet! Pictures up later today

ok, first of all before I even ask this, I know having them behind me is not optimal, but right now the only speakers I have are xplod 6.5's behind me and its fine, this is one of the work rigs and it isnt getting anything fancy. pioneer 600UB infinity 475a audiobahn ABC600V audiobahn AW1051T if it works, cone moves with no coil-scraping sound, but it did sit in the shed for 3 years and got a little wet and the magnet cover got a little rusty... (I think its a 1051, got it years ago and the stickers fallen off the magnet) it is going to be a simple small sealed box down firing on the floor behind the front pass. seat (rear seat is removed and rear area is used for tools).…

I am building system its going in a blazer four door 1 18"btl fully loaded with audioque 2200 I need a builder or some ideas for box and any ideas on how it will sound?

Well after having my wife TELL me to go play in the garage and put in my other amp in my truck (a 2000 GMC Sierra Z71 ext cab) before it gets to cold, I did it and I'm so pleased w/the sound and looks. Here's a rundown of the equipment used. HU: Eclipse AVN6620 AMP: Audison LRx5.1k MIDS: Silver Flute W17RC38-4 (6 1/2") TWEETERS: Phoenix Gold Elite (1") made by Morel after their MT-23 tweeter SUBS: TREO SSi12.22 (12" dual 2 ohm VC) EQ: AudioControl DQS PROCESSOR: Phoenix Gold BassCube The Truck, HU, I had to modify the dash to fit the double din, as it WAS a din and a half. I still need to finish off the trim around it, but am going to wait until I have to pull the HU bac…

So, build logs aren't really my thing. For one, my fabrication skills are easily bested by a monkey on narcotics. Second, I simply don't have the patience to stop and take pictures when I'm in the middle of doing something. But, a couple people have asked so......here it is. My attempt at building kickpanels to house the CS603CF comp set. Thank you to audiolife for lending his ears while playing with the aiming, and GrampaDon for lending a hand at wrapping the kicks. Onward to the pictures I suppose. First pictures are of the basic molds for the kickpanels. My vehicle happens to have an opening in each kickpanel location that vents into the fender area, so I fashion…

My next build will consist of two 12bl's fully loaded and an AQ2200d. The box will be ported and built to specs. Now the only problem im going facing is that when running 2200WRMS, do you have to upgrade your alternator? or will you be fine with the xs 3100d? I will only play my system 3/4 of the way up for about 10min every day. Big 3 upgrade is already done.

this is my build log for my Camry, hope you enjoy it. you may want to open this page and come back to it in ~5 min. 15" FI Q @ 1600 watts box by DL Designz 2.8^3ft @ 32hz saz-3000D @2 ohms sax-100.2 @4 ohms front stage - polk momo's 1/0 pos and neg runs to the back. a crap ton of sound deading from secondskin. 143DB sealed on the windshield.

I just recently got a '03 Golf TDI 2 door 5 speed. I figured I would keep you guys updated on what was going on. Equipment for the build are as follows. -Head unit/Processing- Factory Monsoon unit + JBL MS-8 + Ipod Nano + Sirius Sat radio -Front stage- Bravox CS 60CF- here already -Rear stage- Bravox CS 50CF- I just ordered them -Front & rear stage amps- Brand new in box old school Zed audio built Boss REV 665 x 4- Here.. Pics coming as soon as I can find my camera. 85 watts RMS x 4 each rated at 12 volts. Probably going to raise the rear false floor and try to mount all of the amps away from prying eyes and also for a cleaner look. -Sub stage - Sounds Solutions …

So i just purchased a 12" fi q and while i wait for it to come in i would like to build the box for it. I want to build a ported box that will give it a real good sound when it pumps but i don't want it to but too large. If anyone has plans of their own or can suggest a site where i can get them for free (or fairly cheap) that would be great.

I don't know how much longer the weather will hold so I'm trying to get this done quickly. I don't have anything to listen to right now except for the tires that need to be replaced. I've been working on this for ~ 4 days now, of and on. There have been many on this forum, too many to list, that have given suggestions on equipment and others that pushed me in the right direction in my mid bass thread. Thanks to all of you!! I soon will have a front stage that makes me want to just go out and listen again. The head unit >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Eclipse AV 8533 for now. Fountek FR88's.................powered by a JL 300/2............…

Double post, sorry. please delete.

Was not going for a show quality build the car gets driven from time to time. I have a few more things left to do (secure the box down, run bass remote up front, try cleaning up wiring a lil more). BL 12 fully loaded i followed the box cut sheets over in the Fi forum for a BL. Knu Konceptz 0 awg dual amp kit, Sundown 1200D and 50.4, didnt want to go to crazy or have to alter the car much so i am just running infinity 6x8's, in the stock locations with a pioneer avh-p4200dvd. This is what i wanted so i did alot of research on this forum over the last year so thanks for all the info. Need to do some sound deadening next probably gonna go with some raam mat.

I'm doing a pair of old school JL 12W3s mainly because they have been sitting in my basement for 10 years and I'm sick of looking at them. 2 cubes each tuned to about 31hz or so. I will be using 4" areo ports also. Got started on them tonight.

Hey guys, just wanted to show my build I just got done a few weeks ago. I've had a quite of few different setups recently and am finally very happy with how it is now. My box is about 22 cubes after displacement with 320" of port area tuned to 32hz. All walls were doubled up, and the inside was fiberglassed and braced, its very strong and HEAVY! Each of the 40.1 amps are at 1 ohm, and my electrical consist of a DC power 250 amp alt. Kinetik 1800 up front and 600AH battery bank in the rear. Havent got in on the meter yet and honestly I'm not to concerned with it. This was meant to be a daily driving ground pounder, and it is definitely that. It gets LOWWW and loud and that…

4.75 cubes tuned to 34hz with kerf port.

Built this for a Atomic AP/SPL. Sub is getting built with FI parts. Sub parts should be here tuesday and box is ready. This is going to be powered with an audiopipe 1500d and is going in a 2010 honda accord sedan. About 3.3 cubes tuned to 35hz with a single 6" aeroport. I'll be adding some polyfill to see how much better it would sound for the owner. Maybe about 3 lbs worth.

Well I decided to ditch my dual 12 set up and go for a single 18 DC Level 4 XL in the back. I've been playing around with designs for the past week and finally settled on something. I went to Menards yesterday, got two sheet of MDF and went to work today. It's 6 cubes tuned to 36hz. After my Ebay sale is done on Sunday I'll order the 18 Monday, then I'm going to wait to attach the second baffle until I can make sure it fits good with the sub, and then come a little testing and Herculiner after I'm happy with everything.

As you know I recently got my Q and started fabricating a box. So far the top and bottom baffles are somewhat finished, lol I need a new sander.. Pictures of work will be up later

Build starts today. It's going to be a real easy drop in build... hopefully! Here's the car.. Front stage: Head Unit -- Stock (until dash kit come in) Amp -- DX-200.4 Components -- Bravox Audio CS60CF Sub Stage: Amp -- DX-1000.1 Sub -- 12" SSA Icon Enclosure -- Ported 12" KhaotiK Enclosure Custom built w/ double flush

Alright folks! Usaci Finals is next weekend....soooooo...time to sexy up my install! The paint and such is drying now but we basically made the box SEXY as all get out and built a new amp rack! We also threw threw a Powerbass 3K @ the LMS today and created a COSMIC ORGASM !!!!!!!!!! Can't wait till my new amp gets here! Now onto the pics! Vids will be up tomorrow...i'm kinda tired...lol A few supplies here.... LMS next to Type Arrrgghhhh 10"!
