Build Logs

Hopfully this buildlog wont take long to finish, but who knows so bear with me and stay tuned. I hope you all like the thread! I had a blowthru in the truck for a long time and it served great but I decided to go bigger. Much bigger! Im building a 59.9 class dd streetbeater. BEFORES Just your avg everyday yellow single cab lowrider ....... with a blowthru lol 2 AA Mayhem 15's 2 Sundown Audio SAZ 3500's REBUILD - THE ROAD TO 159.9 THIS GLASS HAS TO GO! I WONT BE NEEDING IT ANYMORE. DONT NEED THIS EITHER DEFINITELY GOING TO NEED THIS I NEEDED TO BEEF UP THE SUSPENSION! THERES GOING TO BE A LOT OF WEIGHT IN HERE!

Well, first off. This is going to be off to a slow start. As some of you know, I totaled out my beloved daewoo and did not have full coverage. I was also between jobs when it happened. So I just picked this 2dr, 4wd blazer today, literally. I got it for a good deal. It needs some work, but it'll be worth it. I got some shit to fix on it, A/C, some suspension work, and I think the front axle solenoid is bad, I hear the transfercase solenoid kicking in, but no pull from the front. Few little nick nack things to fix. No biggie, I'm good at turning a wrench. Any way, I'm pretty well broke right now, until I get steady cash coming in. Most likely the build will start with on…

No pics yet, but just thought I would start a thread Bought a 1992 Astro and will start a new build soon. Ripped everything out of the suburban yesterday (13 hours of fun). . .picking up my new silverado crew cab today The suburban has made 8 yrs so I am finally going to get something new. Right now, the plan is (6) Mayhem 15's and (6) 40.1's. I am lucky I managed to get two more 40.1's over the past couple of weeks. Going to squeeze all the mids and tweets I can get in the doors and where ever else I can find. Pictures will follow soon. . . Brian

It starts tonight.

So... i have been rockib the DCON 15 for a while and i am VERY impressed. So i have decided to add 3 more! Yup... 4 15" DCONs walled behind the second row seating I plan on doing a little deadener as welll. Not crazy tho. So i will be lookng to buy a 1200-1500 watt 1ohm stable amp. (Sae(x)(z)1200-1500, AQ1200-1500 etc. No more than $200 Pics and stuff later.

OK gentlemen- Time to start a Build thread for my 2007 Avalanche. First off- this is in the planning / parts gathering stage- and it isn't gonna be an overnight kind of build. So be patient with me. Plans- 2 DSS Ethos 15's 10 cubes tuned to 22hz (looking for loud without being real peaky) in the bed Crescendo Power (BC3500 and C1100.4) Pioneer H/U (something in the avh-x line) Not sure on Front stage yet Plan to run a Singer Alt(320 amp most likely) Dual AGM stock size batteries Story up til now. I had my Burb since last spring-- and after doing the system for the Suzuki, I ended up buying the Crescendo 3500 from W140, and placed a pair of DSS Ethos on order duri…

I figured I might as well start a build log on this one as it will be my first build that has some effort put into it and not just slapping things together to get something that sounds like music. This is my daily driver and will probably be ever-changing. For now, I am trying to keep it simple and as close to factory as I reasonably can. 22" VCT Scarface plastidipped and wrapped in 305/45 rubber. 2" drop in the rear with Bilsteins all around. Majority of the chrome has been plastidipped, only the grill strip remains. Front door windows tinted to match factory privacy glass. I'll have to get some better photos when the wind and dust dies down and I get some time to wa…

This topic is really for my new upcoming build which will be two Sundown Audio SA-12s on a Hifonics BRX 2400.1D sealed off from the trunk. The box is currently being built by Dave The Box Guy, it will have three different tunings with interchangeable ports (20Hz/28Hz/45Hz). For now, while I sit and wait, I am going to post my current set up just to show you all some of the work I have done so far. I don't have all the pictures since some things were done a little while ago such as, deadening, changing my door speakers, wiring etc. but I will eventually tear some things off and show you how I installed everything. Here it is.... Current build: Head unit: Kenwood K…

Ok so finally the build is on! My car has been in the shop for two months getting an engine swap(95 2.2 n/a in a 91). So anyway this is my first time every logging a car stereo build. I'm not new to forums but I am new to this car audio forum. Here's a shot of the parts: I've already started removing the dash and old Eclipse HU that was in the car. Supposibly the kid I bought the car from bought the car from a car stereo installer. I can confirm that by the very nice previous install of the HU. All twisted wiring cut to length. Here's a shot: This is what it looks like under the hood: Ok back to it...more to follow...! MR2

I figured it was time to start a build log as I'm hoping this setup will stay in my car for a bit. Over the past year I have changed setups more times than I can count. I have yet to be completely happy with my system as a whole, so I sold everything aside from my Pioneer 880, and decided to start from scratch. My main goal is to have a system that sounds good to me with the ability to get fairly loud for when I'm in the mood. This will most likely take at least a month to complete as I still need to decide what subs to go with, then add build time. I should have some pics of the gear, and progress pics up by tomorrow. So far I have purchased the following: Head unit: Pio…

Ok, so this guy from Calgary ordered up some subs a little over a year ago for his home theatre setup. A little over a month ago, he phones me again telling me they aren't enough. We start sharing info and I find out he was the Canadian car audio champion back in the early 90's. So after a 17+ year hiatus, it just so happens that Big Dave is planning to get back into the car audio scene once again. He calls himself 'Big Dave' for just reason - he's bigger than me and has that deep, husky voice you can only associate with men of larger stature. Eight IXL-12's, four MLI-65's and a 2000 Ford F250 bought primarily for car audio, this should be a very interesting build. He…

Stay tuned this will be one for the record books! :popcorn: :drink40:

Its come time to upgrade and really get serious. Ive made a long of progression to this point but its time to go big once and for all. This will be a slower build as money is an issue till tax time. Ive already got my box design from RAM which was an awesome guy to deal with and a quick turn around in all manners. I will also be making door pods for multiple sets of components our a 3 way setup. Current equipment that will get carried over to the new build. 2 - Sundown SAZ-3000D Sundown SAX-50.4 Sundown SAX-100.2 DC power XP250 4 - Lifeline AGMs 50ah 75ft 1/0 Equipment still needed. 12 - SA-12s Copper buss bars 3 or 4 100ah+ agms (to come way later on) Ill at least …

This may be a build log so no sense making multible threads. I am itching to do something different and go bigger. For those that dont know, I currently have a 15in Q on a SAZ1500v.2 in a box I designed and built that is a rear center console in my truck. It hammers the lows and the output is simply amazing for only one 15 here is my truck Here is the current full list Power and wiring Big 3 done and all 1/0 KNU OFC 2 Optima Red tops, gonna add a 3rd *Monster Cable...

Hey everybody. Some of you might have read some of my previous threads, but I thought I'd start an official one that documents my progress. First off, here are the details of the installation: Car: 1990 Mercedes 300ce HU: Nakamichi CD-400 Amps: JL Audio 500/5 and JL audio e2150 (rear fill) Sub: Infinity Kappa Perfect 10vq (to be installed via infinite baffle) Front Speakers: Focal Polyglass 3-way components Rear Speakers: Focal Polyglass 4" 2-way components EQ: Audio Control EQS 6-channel Sound Deadening: 2 layers of Damplifier pro, and Second Skin's Overkill (foam pad on top of damplifier) Other: Rockford Fosgate Omnifi (MP3 harddrive-mostly for friends).

Not to much info to post right this second....

Well I've started the Ram finally. The tranny is about toast, but I'll deal with that when she gives up. So far I'm just started on wiring. I gutted it and started the wiring yesterday--and cleaned the moldy carpet (door seals are bad and getting replaced)... only about 3 hours invested so far. I didn't do before pics, really didn't think about it. here's some deadener. All I did is replace what was bad of the factory deadener. I have no intent on keeping this truck so I don't care to go all out on it. the factory deadener was crumbling from the excessive water that's been on the floor board. this is about all the deadener you need on the back to keep it from hu…

2 audioque HDC3 15's 1 sundown saz 3000d 1 jl 300/4 Pioneer avh p5000dvd 00 all the wat back Kinetik hc800 and hc 2400 in the back deep cell up front for mid idk yet still lookin around Tweets uhh lookin at seas prestige idk yet though I need help on the box. I can't find box specs for these things anywhere. I've seen people with 4.5 for one and 8.5 with 2. I was thinkin around 7.5 at 34. Any suggestions on mids tweets or box size and tuning is welcomed. Ordered the subs yesterday haven't received any shipping details yet, but I am expecting about 2 or 3 weeks. This will be a pic heavy build and video heavy. STAY TUNED!!!!

It's been a while since I posted on any audio forum, but I got a new truck that doesn't quite piss me off as much as the last couple did. So I figured I'd share the progress with you guys. Here is my 2007 Silverado - 4 Door LT - 5.3L V8. Purchased used about two months ago. Feel free to ask any questions or post suggestions. Past Builds: youtube Few Details: I'm 22 From Louisiana Can't cut wood strait so probably wont be doing any audio builds myself. I do like to try to do things myself and I may do it wrong and it may take longer but I do want to say I did some things myself!

Denim said it was ok for me to make a new thread. i really like how the box is turning out. keep in mind im not done at all, so dont think its just gonna be like this. its getting braced up real good, and the inside is getting resined. the pics you've been waiting for... the cuts (just back, bottom, and sides) quick mock-up tite bond is the ****

I tried to link some people to my build but it seemed like since it was in an other Forum the link was disabled so Im just copying over the Build Just in case you seen it already on the other forum. 2 600x's 2 2000x's 8 JBL GTI's 6 1/2" 4 RE SE's 15"s At the Shop.
