Build Logs

Here's a simple install in my 90 325i. I was on a budget since this is pretty much my daily beater car. Sub, amp, wires, and materials all totaled around $150 but still sounds clean and clear. Plays loud enough for my tastes as well. Guessing around 120db. Will use a cheesy Radio Shack meter on the dash to get a rough estimate when I have a spare moment. Main goal was to keep it compact and still sound good. Didn't need earth shattering, just clean and clear. I can still rattle my side views and rear view pretty damn good though if desired. Equipment details. Kenwood KDC-X889 HU. Alpine Type R 3 ways up front. JL Audio 12w4-4 bridged on a POS Sony Xplod (inse…

started on the box today. its sealed and its 2.95 cubic feet threw the wood tougher real quick started gluing side view will finish tomorrow and should be :hair trick: on monday

After a few weeks of trying to decide, I have started to receive all of my equipment. I'm still waiting on my sub & deadening. The system will consist of: Battery: Optima Yellow Top (installed, not pictured) Headunit: Kenwood DNX6140 (installed) iPod Touch 8GB Front Stage: Alpine SPX-17REF 6.5" Components Front Stage Amp: Alpine PDX-2.150 Sub: DC Audio 12” Level 3 Sub Amp: Alpine PDX-1.600 Wiring: Knu Konceptz Deadening: Second Skin Damplifier Cant wait for everything else to come in and install everything. Should be fun. Now some pictures:

Red paint to cover the outside of the box to match a 05 mustang gt and the port will get another coat of black.

new stuff: HU: nakamichi cd-400 boston pro60's up front jbl gto936's in back 12" 05 xxx probably kicker amps. putting all the h/k stuff on ebay as a package, except the harnesses becuase its too hard to remove it without messing something up lol (cd changer, hu, h/k amp, speakers, aux input) made the rings for the 6.5s. i traced the factory outer part of the baffle and cut that out, then cut out the middle hole for my boston pro60 mids to fit in. im gonna have to figure out how to make the tweets fit in. the rings: bought this panasonic cq-c7413u HU, its decent, i hooked it up and drove over a brick road going 50+, and it only skipped once or twice. but i dont like how…

My Fi BL 15" Sub I got yesterday. The enclosure is almost done, I had taken these pictures at the start of the construction The DC power 270A XP High Output Alternator I ordered today

Well this is the first transmission line box i've ever built.. I read the tutorial yesterday on how to build one and didn't think it was that hard, so i built this one this morning in my spare time. Took about 2 hours to cut and assemble the box.. After getting it done i put it in a chevy s-10 blazer, with some kind of off brand amp pushing only about 300-400 (sad but that's all he had. Haha..). And with that little power running to it, everything flexes in his truck, and it's loud from 25hz all the way up to 60hz.. I'm very impressed with t-line boxes, and i find them easier to build than just regular ported box.. Haha.. Specs: Fs of a D1 Fi Bl is 35.2 Box "port" is exac…

What's up guys,i'm finally posting the pics of my new build this is for my daily driver/work truck when i go to work for my dad's plant nursery. there's no way my malibu can make it over there lol here you guys go!!! first up the truck these are the only truck pics i have for now lol our loading truck was full so,this is what the rest of the roses went i told you guys,sooner or later i'm going to use the whole bed,so no blow through for me maybe walled later on =) also including the ugly rims,i hadn't changed them yet cus 24s dont go well with mud lol so 20s w/fat tires for now i'll change these ugly pics once i have the 24s on later on :good:

Some equipment pictures..... I've waited long enough to start a build log. This one may progress slowly compared to my usual ~2 day builds I'm used to. But never the less, mmmm selenium + eminence + fi? Maybe I will have to add Sundown + DC as well? Still throwing ideas around.

Almost forgot to post the build over here lol. Started the build on sunday. Anyhow, on to the pics. The design: started construction on the box. it's going to be a little smaller than initially planned at 2.1 cu ft. it's really my first enclosure with kerf'ed panels. i reallllllly need to get some big clamps. that would have made things MUCH easier. yes i'm using screws just to mess with Don :gapteeth: no clamps, so i had to ghetto rig it somehow. it works. a tiny crack started to form. i put some glue on it. seems to help it from spreading. starting to kerf the other port piece... waiting to get bent into shape. a few days went by. sub came. got myself a clamp …

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.

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).…

Installed this muffler myself Borla muffler on stock exhaust system lol. will upgrade exhaust system as well Lol, my stock 14" rim with 2% tread on the tire.. i definitely need new wheels!

So this will be my second build log on this forum. I don't think I took as many pictures this time either. But here we go, here is what was originally in the car. Had this Fi BL for over 4 years now, I say its a 2008 model but I am not really for sure. Surround is messed up but the main thing, the coil is still clean. Box was given to me, tuning was ~40hz (eww) with sub installed. Had running on the RF-T1500bdCP I bought until I put in the truck, had it slamming though. ^^^^^^Yes I love 5-minute amp racks!!!! It's in the next pic too with a new paint job. LOL Then I broke out my Memphis MC 1.1100, was still slamming, just wasn't getting LOW, like…

whats up yall as some of you might know im still pretty new to this forum coming from smd. but im not new to the car audio world. this is what i have right now as before i had different equipment but had to sell it all. so im just getting back in the game cuz i cant stay away from long and going up til i get competition level. this hobby never ends. so heres some pics of the work in progress. enjoy..

So i did a build in my wife's car awhile back. It's a simple build just added a 10" sub for a little added bass. So i am going to start on my wife's car with a custom enclosure in the trunk. Its a 2012 toyota corolla and i will place it in the wheel well area. This is going to be a slow and learning process as i only get an hour or so a day, if that. A few starting pics... So i thought it would be easier for me to take it out to start with the taping and prep work. Also once i get to fiber glassing I would not want it to be smelling like fiber glass in her car.

Almost done with the build in my 2008 Mazda Miata with a powered hard top. The build make the car a true one seat SQ car. I guess you could call it a theme build in that I was going with the bigger is not always better. I was trying to get the highest possible quaility out of the smallest footprint of product possible. The gear used: Head Unit: Eclipse 55090 soon to be changed to the Denford 8250 Processor: Audison BitOne Tweeter: Hybrid Audio L-1Pro Mids: Hybrid Audio L-3 Mid/Base: Hybrid Audio L-6 Sub: JL Audio 13tw5 Amps: JL Audio HD-600/4 Running Tweeters and Mids JL Audio HD-600/4 Running Mid/Base and channels 7…
