Build Logs

Figured I would get some pictures up of the stereo build up for my mustang. Nothing really over the top or crazy. Just wanting to improve on sound since its my DD. Quick pic of the car: IMG_0271 by riored4v, on Flickr Stereo so far: Stock HU AudioControl LC6i Audioque 1200d amp Knu wiring Infinity Kappa 6829CF speakers in the doors & rear deck 12" SSA ICON Originally had a 12" Image Dynamics IDQ setup that I was using previously. Worked well, but wanted more. Didn't initally want to go sealed, but the ported enclosure for the ICON was going to take too much space to work properly. The "skirt" underneath the box shows where the old ported enclosure came …

Here goes to the start of deadening my 02 Z71. Lots of deadening going in. 155 Sq ft. Raammat 5 or 6 Yards Ensolite 5 gallons and 1 quart of Spectrum GM's way of trying to stop you from removing the rear bolts on the front seats an 11mm 12 point did the trick. Also the front nuts on the front seat are removable with 15mm 12 point. Carpet is not so clean lol When I saw this clip for the first time I thought "I'll come at you like a spider monkey!" The rear light needs to be removed before dropping the headliner to disconnect the light More pics to come

So time to change something and it's this damn rectangular box....it's loud but takes up too much room and is ugly so instead i will make something to go on the left side and rplace this I lost the pic of fiberglassing work but this is what came out Then The baffle and trim piece Ports, only about 9 sqaure inches per ft3 but I don't really have room for anymore coming together and fiberglassing this to trim out the back of enclosure

Hey guys this is my first attempt at an active sound system in my 2007 GMC Sierra classic body. My goals are to achieve good all around sound with a little bump at all volumes, nothing too crazy im not going to be competing. My budget was ~$1000 and plan to keep as much of the install stock looking since theft is high here in Tucson. I been piecing this together over the past few months and is getting closer to install hopefully i can start this weekend. Here is what I have as of now: Head Unit - Pioneer AVH-P4300DVD Front stage – Dayton 6 ½” Classic DC160s-4 & Dayton Classic DC28F-8 Front stage amp – Rockford Fosgate PBR300X4 RCAs & Speaker wire from Mono Pri…

Nevermind, found it Stealth FTMFW! It's not going to win any best install awards anytime soon....but I was pretty happy with myself for finding that little cubby area to hide it in And yes....everything is dirty and I need to clean. And come to think of it.......I actually think this is the first time I've posted any pics of any of my installs on the forums

This is for TRP here on the forum. We threw together a nice little box today for the DCON 10" he got from me. It is 1.45ft^3 after all displacments tuned too 33hz if I remember correctly... Theres also some pics of a box I threw together for an ED 18" for another guy. (ew, I know lol), but the box is nice

1996 Cavalier 2 door Cuirrently: 1 - Kenwood X994 Head Unit 1 - 18" Soundstream XXX 2 - Audioque AQ3500D.1 1 - Audioque 4x90 1 - Set Alpine Type R 6 1/2 components 2 - Optima Yellow Tops 1 - 155 amp Alternator Still to come: 2 - 220 amp alts 2 - XS Power D3100 batteries Sexy amps! Nice! Test fitting the baffle with sub mounted: Horrible safety mask! lol Grinding down and re-using the molded glass bottom of the prior box for this build. Trying to get as much box volume as possible while still keeping everything in the trunk! Pocket holes ftw! More test fitting Ports, front and back sides flared. Messy! Not so messy! Base of the box Start of more glass work.…

Hey all, So I recently decided its time to throw down with our basements system. Recently purchased two Fi SSD 18's to go along with our existing Memphis M3 15's and our QMC 1850HD amplifiers. I along with some help am building the enclosures. The first one is done and already throws down. (For the 15's) I will get a video soon and post it up, just keep nagging me. But here are some pics... Here are some crappy build pics from my cell phone Here are some pictures of the SSD's Let me know what you guys think, the first enclosure already rattles the house. YOu can feel the ground outside the basement pulsate... The first enclosure as been carpeted I am still workin…

Beh so I said time to upgrade finally from 2 15 to 4 15. Install is in a nissan pathfinder 1995. The stuff going in is: 4 dc audio level 4 2 sundown 3000( gonna run 1 for now) sundown 100.2 3 Kinetik 2,400 200 amp alt probably 4 runs of 1/0 wire bye bye old system

Its a little early as I have not even purchased the subwoofers yet but I'm excited! So here is the plan. Ill be running my 2004 Impala in the street trunk class so I'm limited to 4000 watts. I'll be running two 15" Icons with a nice big aeroport. Still trying to figure out amplifier situation but the Crescendo 3500d seems like a good choice. Full 0 gauge with a group 31 in the trunk. Hoping to do a lot of testing, and have a lot of fun. Representing SSA in the Great White North.

This box is a rebuild due to his last box apparently never being built correctly. A 15yr old guy on ca.com that seems to do decent work built his last box, but it was rattling from day one and Ben thought it was the sub, and I, telling him the whole time it sounded like either his hatch or the box. Either way, the top plate of the box seperated from the enclosure walls and really rattled, making this setup un-playable. So we decided to build him a new one. Ernie started this box yesterday and we finished it up today. old box. new box. we'll have to get some video's of this thing now. It flexs everything in his car, digs down nice and low and distorts my voice e…

Im putting a system in my 2003 QC dodge pickup. Im putting in a 10" XCON and a Black Ice 1300.1 Amp which measures in at 16x8.25x2. I plan to raise the back seat a little over an inch with steel square tubing i have. I have 3/4" MDF, lifetime supply of 2oz cloth, liquid nail wood glue, and all of the odds and ends i need to build the setup, but im stuck on how i should shape the box/place the amp. I originally planned to do a setup just like this, until today when i remembered i had a split bench rear seat! And my rear seat..

So I will start a build log, but it may be a few months before it is up and going. I will be installing speakers as install panels, rear deck, etc. Sound deading soon! 1963 Nova SS 327 small block Turbo350 automatic It is really close to being ready to drive. . . Plan is to get the (12) 7" AA mids and (8) Morel tweeters I have in the rear deck, front doors, and front kick panels. Maybe a pair of Havoc 12's or (4) 10" Chaos in the trunk. As soon as I sell another IA 40.1, I am going to buy a pair of SX1250's to match my pair of SX900.4's. I can also use them with my SX remote. Brought it home like this. Have all the glass, 3 hoods, pretty much complete new interior - n…

Hey guys, whats up. Well I will be uploading my current build of not only my car audio, build, but performance, paint and body work, and upgrades. Car audio build as follows: Headunit: pioneer p5200bt Speakers: Selenium 6.5 mids (8) Sub: AA SMD 15" d1 Amps: Sundown 3500, and two JL 300/2 Batteries: XS Power D3400, (Currently waiting for new XP 3000's) Alt: DC POWER XP 270 (Ordered January 10th, still hasn't arrived) Will be uploading vids, and pics of doors, sub, unboxing etc

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…

More like big two cause I didnt ground the alt to the chassis. There wasnt any dedicated ground post on the stock alt so I thought I would put it in later. Thought the other two were the most important anyway. Maybe when I get a new alt for her, I'll do the third. That will be expensive though! Should have done this a long time ago but I was off work due to the weather today. What better time to do it then now? Had to get some new battery post terminals as they wouldnt work with my 1/0 terminals. Put the black loom on there to make it look nice too. It was lying around so why not? Right off the batt I could tell the difference. The lights dont dim anymore and it even seem…

I have a sundown scv-4000 amp, wired at one ohm. The sub's are 12" Zv4's sitting in a 4 cubic ft box, tuned at 40hz but loudest at 48hz. I have a 300 amp alternator wired with the big 3. All the wires 1\0 gauge. I have one Xs d3100 battery. Door speakers are 6 " Morels components. Rear deck are 6x9's morel components. Head unit is pioneer DEH-08prs. Vehical is 2002 KIA spectra ls. The KIA has Mojo Mat in the interior and trunk double lined on head liner. The doors are done inside and outer side. The system is hitting 141.1 on the DB's. The amp has been tuned if that makes sense? I have a few pics more to follow.

I picked up this car recently and wanted to toss in some equipment that I've had laying around BNIB for years. I don't know how much of it will fit or how to make it work but I'd like to use all of it if possible. This is all the same stuff I was going to install in the old Merc. That car didn't work out and was sold a few years ago. I'm going to attempt to install this myself again but was looking for pointers so I don't fuck anything up along the way. I've been looking at a few videos on how to take the interior apart etc. Not gonna go crazy like I did last time tho. I think when it gets here, I will start with the h/o alty and the big 3. I bought an alt from Mechm…

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"!

Well this is the first time starting a build log on here so ill do my best. Not anything major just something small for her. The car is a 1997 Isuzu Rodeo HU: Kenwood Excelon KDC-X395 Amp: SAZ-1000D Sub: Sundown SA-8......box around .6 cu ft tuned to 34hz. Front doors have 4" speakers and tweeters but not sure what to replace with, so if you have and suggestions let me know Today the HU is coming in so will get pics of that, and i will be running the wires for the amp since i already have it. more pics to come soon

Hello world. Well, here's my Civic build. It's a simple SQ setup. Front stage: 2way DLS UR6i Sub: mac Audio Aliante 10" Black LTD Front amp: Helix H400 Esprit Sub amp: Steg QM 220.2 Stock HU as signal source and re-used Pioneer P88RS as signal processor. (HU>LOC>P88 aux in) It's an unusual configuration, works for now, but I'm really thinking about an Audison Bit Ten. Doors were deadened with SilentCoat, but I still have some work to do on them. Cables are AWG4, and hand"crafed" RCAs. Here's the car - or egg-shaped rocket ship, as some may call it: Old picture of the dash, pre-install (the same, but OEM tweeters): Overall requirements of the install…

I thought it might be fun to chuck this up here. The lada has moved on now, but it was a great learning experience. The idea behind the lada was to learn more about SPL, learn about walls and apply some theoretical knowledge I had. I covered SS 1-2NW, Street Max 1-2 with 1 sub, then a second sub. In the end, I maxed out at 152.6dB which I thought was quite good off 1 batt and a 4000D. Here we go - please note that the text accompanying the pictures is just a straight cut and paste of when i wrote it up on the local forums. --------------- Okay, so I decided to start a little bit early on the SS 1-2 NW box. Early meaning start a week out before hand instead of 3 days This…
