Build Logs

I just got done with a temp box, http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...showtopic=27944 Now Im gonna start a build log of the rest of my car. hopefully ill finish it this summer. Right now im starting of with new door panels. each door will have 2 7in daytons and 1 morel tweeter. Started off with doorpanels for a junkyard cut of parts i didnt want Put some cloth to flatten out the basic shape now to mount the baffle before sandin, i played it baby poweder...prevents the itchin Delivery today!! Ring terminals I even got a sticker this time and another delivery the same day Tweeters and switches now to start on the tweeters deaden t…

So after ordering parts and doing some small work here and there since August 09, i finally decided to start this build log. It's my first real build. Everything else prefab boxes and no electrical upgrades needed. (two set-ups off of a Crunch p1100.2. my favorite set-up was 2 12" mtx tr55 in mtx ported box). So this current build is a big, giant step for me. All the equipment is in my signature. It's my first box build and i went off of some dimensions that i received here on the forum. Should be around 32 hz (home depot doesn't do exact cuts!!). I wasn't entirely sure what to do for bracing... If i'm not pleased with the sound of this box, i'm more than open to making a…

well the time has come that my stock bose unit is starting to take a crap. its a pretty well known problem in these cars. so i am going to be switching it all out slowly i already have two Fi SSD 10s in a ported box. right now they are being powered by one audiopipe apsm-1300. each only getting 300wrms. which sounds pretty good for now. all the speakers are stock and so is the deck. plans - on its way is - another audiopipe apsm-1300 so that i can run one amp for each sub. (yes i know i could have just got a big enough amp to run both subs. but im not doing that) will be running 1000wrms to each sub a metra dash kit for the new deck. Kenwood Excelon KDC-X794 de…

Already posted on ca.com, but Ill just repost it here because its late and Im bored. And in case anyone is wondering, the van that you see in my avatar is sold, and this is my new daily ride. I have an Astro that Ill be starting another serious SPL build in eventually. This is just a smaller daily system. Equipment Pioneer 880PRS 2 Fi BTL 18s 2 MB Quart DSC2000s 1 MB Quart DSC4150 1 MB Quart DSC2150 2 sets Hertz HSK165 Some Eminence/Selenium 3 Powerware batteries KnuKonceptz wiring Damplifier Pro deadener Box 4.2 cubes sealed 17.5 cubes ported 410 in^ of port 47hz tuning I really hope this box doesnt sound like crap.

im getting a new gcon 12" and just need to build a box for it. i want it ported, specs for the sub are 2.00-2.50cuft @ 28-33hz for ported box and 2.50-3.00 cuft @28- 30hz for ported optimal.... i came across this box diagram for a ssa dcon 12 but im not sure if it would also work for the gcon 12". http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/topic/45938-quote-for-225cuft-dcon-enclosure/page__p__726610__fromsearch__1#entry726610 if anyone has any dimensions for one could i bum them from you if not a little insight would help, Thanks.

I just finished up with my install: 2) 12" D2 GCONS in a DC-Creations Sealed Enclosure, all installed in a 2012 Volkswagen GLI running from the factory fender audio system to a LC2i LOC and Kicker ZX1000.1 Amp w/ KnuKonceptz Kolossus Flex 0 ga kit. GCONS: Visually: I placed my order and received the speakers about 25-30 days later, just like the guys @ SSA said. Between the heavy foam surround, to the huge magnet, to the frame, they look SICK. Looks wise, I can't complain, the build quality seems to be great; real heavy duty shit here. When I bought my kicker amp from the car audio shop around the block, the guy I dealt with asked what I was running for subs. So I show…

im getting 2 18'' ssa icons:) i have a 1996 jeep grand cherokee im thinking about walling it off ported box i want it to be insanely loud,and i have 1 d3400xs powered batt probly getting one more, so if any suggestions let me know thanks.

Just a little build log of what I have done so far, with crappy cell phone pictures. The Truck Making holes to run the wire. Installed grommets for two runs of 1/0, one positive and one negative. Mocked up false floor. Wrapped up and wired up distro blocks. Wired up the stereo Wired up and mounted the amp. finished as it sits now. Still have some ideas to remount the amp/amps. When it gets warmer out Ill be laying down some fiberglass for kickpods and working on mounting tweeters somewhere.

This is Grasshoppers's wife's ride. Since he has been doing so much to his truck she wanted a little attention as well. So we are putting a little something together for her. Just a nice system to give her some decent tunes for going to get groceries. Here are a few pics of the Hoe.

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…

Alright guys. I recently decided to wall my 2001 Olds Alero after getting a really good quote on a Crossfire xs v2 18" and a strong need to build something. It will be one 18" for now and I plan to get another down the road. I have been keeping a video log on youtube so I'll include that with the pictures. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ertvN6Cy13Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsbYqjuh0ac Pics of the old box getting ripped out:

Well im getting closer and closer with more boxes arriving at my door. So far i have my... Fi Bl 10" Fully Loaded my Sundown Audio SAE-1200D V.2 and some Mb Quart PVI 216 Components. getting pretty excited and thanks for all of you who chimed in and helped with the sub and amp questions. all i need is my custom box to be made. (im gonna try to make my own and ill def post pictures. as well as ask questions about that so help will be needed. haha) need to buy lots of 0 gauge wire for my big 3 and for other parts of the installation of course. need to get some second skin or dynamat or whatever i find better when the time comes. as well as maybe some components or just so…

Impaler because its an Impala. Im clever right? first box mocked up: First day the subs came in: Speakers came in: Subs amp: Both my amp's Current box is fiberglassed and use's T nuts to pull the subs in and out. Not designed by me. (g2shuck) Subs are: D4 Alpine type S 15's Rockford P-500.4 amp on 4 gauge Q1-3500.1 (4,300 watts rms at 1 ohm) on two runs of 0 gauge. Wired to 4 ohms All power wire, and Rca's by Knuconcepz. Stock alternator. Stock Effing headunit for the moment. Coming soon are: Deck, odds and ends wiring, and more 6.5's Stay tuned.

I wanted to go ahead and create the thread because you gonna need to finalize your decision(s) very soon as i am onto you now. As far as i know, u want 2 12" BTLS off of a 3500d.... If this is true, it will be fired forward. I'll be rootin through my PMs again to find your dimensions so i can start your build. If you need an entire design done in your trunk, give me ALL dimensions so i can model battery and amp(s) mounting too if u need it, otherwise, i'll just design your box. Let me know what you want it tuned too.. otherwise, i'll tune it to 32hz for daily and interchangeable for competition.

Hi guys I'm new to the forum and this is my first post. I just started out building my own boxes for the past 2 years now and need some assistance on this new build. Attached is the pictures of the box in progress. Can anyone assist me with port tuning (I'm from south africa so in cm would be great). The dimensions are : Height 41.5cm Length 90.5cm Width 45.5cm Sub mounting height 17cm All wood is 20mm plywood What is my current port tuned at 52.5cm port running in an L shape in the box 5.4cm width Length 41.5cm pictures attached The sub mounting height is basically the walls around it. Thanks for the time

I got a 2007 tbss with the bose nav. Im looking to add some quality stuff instead of what I have now. I currently have an audiophipe 1500 a power acoustic 12 in a 2cubic feet box tuned to 32 hrtz and a c2i to drive it. I put a list of things together of some stuff and want to know what you guys think. Crescendo Audio BC2000D, ZCON 12, XS Power D3400 12V AGM Battery with the BIG 3. I want to keep the factory nav so what else would i need to get the most out of this setup? Also with my current setup i used the smd dd-1. After it is set distortion free I cant add not one notch of bass on the head unit. It just sound like it should be louder because a friend of mine have the…
