Build Logs

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…

well figured i might as well post a build log on what ive been putting together. just a few pics to get started post some later of the box and what not. 2 15" Memphis CM MOJOs(have) or 2 15" PSI custom reconed MOJO M3s(ordered) Sundown SAZ-3500D v.2(have) DC Power 270XP(have) 1 XS Power D5100R(have) 2 XS Power XP3000(ordered) 2 runs weldingsupply 2/0AWG (have) enclosure designed by PWK(built) update: box and subs are in running off the saz-3500v2 @ 4ohm til i get batts and wire. keeping Memphis MClass mids/highs will upgrade in the near future

Ok this is for a buddy of mine i think he has an account on here, I can't remember though. It is 1 15" Audioque hdc3 aluminum coil on a Sundown saz 3k at 2 ohm, (might talk him into half an ohm at comps lol). As of now he does not have a front stage to brag about, but I'm going to get him hooked up one way or another. He has a pioneer headunit, don't remember what model. Will have big 3 done and a xs power d3400 in the back. (going to also upgrading stock battery, which luckily is already located in the back. And alredy has couple coats of dampner. Box is 4.1 cubes @ 36hz Ok on with the pics. Still have to throw 2 more coats of clear and carpet it, then bui…

Just follow the pics and you can figure it out.

i have a 1995 s10 blazer and i plan on ordering a 18 and maybe doing a second one anybody out there have or know if i can get 2 18s in a blazer non wall and not removing back seats.also i would like to see pics of your setups blazer only i wanna get an idea of how im gonna do my setup

I haven't posted in a while but I sold my orange truck and got a 2004 cadillac escalade. The plan is 2 sp4 18's on 7,000 to 10,000 watts. So far I have my aq 2200 on my btl 15. Scared and I are building a box in the next week or two.

The Pioneer AVH-P4200 installed: Positive and Negative upgrades on the battery: The positive upgrade from alternator: Close up of the new positive terminal: Close up of the new negative terminal: The Second Skin Damplifier Pro. I bought way too much: The SSA Icon 12"!: Tools used to remove panels to add the sound damplifier (the mallet was to break a pin holding the airbag panel on the c-pillar): The sound damplifier added on. It was a pain in the ass because of all of the holes for the rear deck clips and stuff. I had to cut small pieces and put them all over and started to get lazy with it and missed some spots because of it. I was so worn out from spending so m…

Here are some final pictures for a build I did for a customer. Box is 8.4 cubes @ 35hz for 2 HDC3 15's. Box is not being covered with anything. customer will do what he pleases. Gonna be fun to ship... Enjoy

Did this for a friend he wanted 1 - 8" mid 1 - 10" mid and 2 - tweeters in his door, so i cut out a mdf base to match the door panel, trimmed to fit. So here's the mockup so far, it all fits snug, we're using all crescendo components the selenium is for mockup. Using regular fleece and two coats of resin no fiberglass Fleece stretched and stapled Two coats of resin Fitted to the door Finished product nice and snug Not as smooth as i could get it but my friend didn't care otherwise i would have bondoed it, i think later down the road it will get vinyl not sure though

Hello everyone I would like to start by saying I have no intention of breaking or bending any site or community rules here so pls forgive me if I do that is not my intention. I am here to share my personal experience with cherrymancustoms who has built me an extremely personalized and truly custom enclosure to meet the needs of my particular listening goals. This man has spent literally countless hours over-the-phone speaking with me one on one in an attempt to maximize my enclosure design and has built what I consider to be a very good quality box. I have attached images for your own viewing and judgement below. His website is www.cherrymancustoms.com/ where he ha…

When I started planning on this project 2 years ago, in the planning stages, I wanted 60+ and to bassrace 59.9, but since then I have taken it down a notch, wanting to build something that plays low ( Fla style), Loud and moves an absolute insane amount of air. What I started with Subs 8 DC Level 5 M1 Motors, with David from PSi working his magic on the rest. 8 18" recones 3 spider setup Amps - 4 SK2500.1s from Skar audio. The setup got down pretty good with these, but I needed more power, and less problems a single 300A Tenney that has yet to fail me A 4th order bandpass All Wiring and accessories were acquired from Audio Technix. over 100ft of OFC 1…

ok..im suppose to be studying but im doing this instead. just thougt id share my build. its the second box i built and the first install ive done...consists of everything in my sig...here we go...

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:

okay got the HU in. the stock jbl speakers are running off HU power so im getting the scosche thingamabobber that will let me use the aftermarket amp. when i have time, ill be hookin them up to a usamps md43 with lots of headroom. HU wired up and installed. [update 03-07-08] Added some videos Ipod control: Color demo: ------------------------------------- Initial review - equip: Alpine 9887 + iPod directly connectged, stock jbl speakers, amp defeated. Some things that might hinder the performance: - of course under powering with 18wrms each speaker <--------NO MORE! 03-05-07 - right front speaker was rattling. replacement paid for will hopefully be on its wa…

Decided against the underseat box since i have very little experience. Once im more confident in doing bevels and cutting angles i think ill do it. Any way i lost one seat and gained mad bass, ill take that trade off lol. heres the woofer Beefy 12" Shot at 2011-07-12 Shot at 2011-07-12 Heres the box Shot at 2011-07-12 Shot at 2011-07-12 Shot at 2011-07-12 Shot at 2011-07-12 A little weight for the baffle Shot at 2011-07-12 Shot at 2011-07-12 Dont have a razor, so i improvised for the carpeting Shot at 2011-07-12 here it is installed, hopefully i can get a vid of it flexing my truck i just need to find a better camera than my cell phone.

Not done yet

Cut the hole for the speaker. i wanted it as small as possible so it barely cleared the magnet.... i ended up having to make a slot for the wires thou I didn't get any pictures of the speaker ring but it had a roundover instead of being flat and had a kurff cut so it would bend with the dash. Nothing major just a slight bend BUT it made a huge difference in the end result. These pics are in mid sanding thou, the ring was fiberglassed to the dash popped off and i snapped some pics after the first stage of sanding After looking at it on the dash half way ready i realized the orange wasn't going to work... So i painted the speaker while the final sanding and stuff was bei…

This is my first sub box. I've done some other carpentry stuff before but have always been too scared to try and build a sub box in fear it would sound like chit and be a total waste of effort. It's 2 cubes tuned at 41hz. I'm trying to get more spl out of my sub on 500 watts to give me an edge in the basic 1 class in my local circuit. I hit 135.5db on my current setup but that may not get er done. I could have finished much sooner if I had more clamps. I'll glue the top down tonight after I find my tie down straps and do the pseudo-in law family Easter gig. I almost forgot to add the part about my girlfriend's wisdom teeth being taken out Friday. Puffy puffy cheeks.

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

real simple build that is semi-temporary. xmas im geting another amp so ill just have to cut a new piece of mdf and mount it up there. sorry for the crappy pics... used the camera on the phone and i worked on it at night. first i mounted a piece of mdf with bolts to the metal. next i got another piece of mdf to bring the amp rack out so it clears the rest of the rear deck. here is the mdf rack mounted on there. showing the clearance with the sub box in. AA arsenal ftw pic of the sub box. (the amp rack hasn't been added yet but u wouldn't be able to see it anyways. finishing it tomorrow night.
