Build Logs

Here is the end result of my bug build for my store here at 1507. Hope you like it taking it to a car show in the morning. Hope you guys like it. Turned out ok for spray paint. Manager decided not to pay for painting it.

We are starting to get everything in for the new build to go into steve's 2001 Alero. we are going to ..... *finish the big three upgrade. *add a second battery in the rear. *build a new enclosure for the trunk, port and sub firing to the rear. *installing a 12" WMD2 subwoofer. *installing a AP1800D *removing rear fill, adding amp to front stage. *perhaps clean the junk out of the car in general, perhaps. this is what the old install looks like. small vid .....

gotta give a big shootout to robin (iamamp3pimp) for helping me with this, he does GREAT WORK!!! so if you need some work done hit him up.... and this is a shot of the first 3piece put together with my new table saw. holy hell this thing is accurate. Strange looking end grain from lowes Lumber department..... Double Baffle, Split front baffle, etc. Edges rounded over 1/4 inch for 2 Nightshade 12's and 4kw Thoughts?

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:

I helped a friend of mine out over the summer on his Lightning. System composed of... Pioneer head unit 2 sets of 6.5 Polk components 4 10" Polk subs Memphis 5 channel amp 1/0 wiring 2 Kinetik batteries Custom fabbed door pods, battery trays, and amp rack. The sub choices were limited due to budget and space. All factory power and grounds upgraded to 1/0 wire and a high ouput alternator is planned over the winter. All power and signal wires have been kept seperated. The cab floor, rear cab wall, and doors have been fully sound deadend. Sub enclosure. 3/4" mdf used with 3 internal braces. This was built by my friend Amp rack. Used 3/4x3/4x1/8" angle and some flatbar f…

I picked this truck up from my friend a few months ago, I was just going to make it a project truck but the transmission went out on my Dodge so I am going to drive it for a few weeks. It's a bagged 1997 GMC C-1500. It has a massive amount of motor mods, and my favorite part, a 240 amp alternator. :-) My computer has broken so I can't get on much but I will add photo's soon as I can. Idle voltage

Im still new to the forum, but I decided I would post a build log of my truck. The Truck: 2006 Schevy Silverado 1500 Extended Cab, 5.3 2wd. As it sits the truck is stock, when things start coming in I will start the install. Hopefully I will start with the deadening and running all the wires. Almost current pic, before clearing the headlights and tinting the windows They components being used: Head Unit: Kenwood DDX 812 Mid Amp: Sundown SAX50.4 Sub Amp: Sundown SAZ1500D Subs: Sundown SA-8 (2) Mids: Hertz HSK165 Deadner: Raamat and Ensolit…

Ok the box was started today, but had to be started later in the afternoon because the installer/builders friend was in a car accident at 3 am yesterday so I told him to take his time and when he feels ready to start on his time. So this is the progress so far. I will be getting one more gallon of resin and order a roll of 19 oz glass mat for the bracing. I am going above the window line as you all can see. I will be triple baffling the face and doubling the MDF all the way around. This thing is a beast. With one baffle the height is about 24 inches, the width is 48 inches and the length is 52 inches. Big as hell I know. lol so get ready this box is about to be beastly. I…

I was thinking of using aero ports instead of a slot port. That's where I get stuck. Ia2 recomended 240 inchs of port at 32 hertz in 17 cubes so how do you figure out how many aero ports and how long?

I'm pretty new to this website,and I'd like to thank everyone for the warm welcome. I am currently in the process of upgrading my subwoofer setup in my Yukon. I used to have 2 12" Alpine Type E and Alpine 450 watt amp. That was my first setup I ever had, and now that I know a lot more (definitely not everything) I am ready to upgrade. So ever since I saw Steeve Meeades's videos on YouTube, I've always wanted to get a BTL. Recently I've pulled the trigger on getting the stuff I need to do this. Ive paid for everythiing except for the sub itself, because I need to sell my previous setup to have enough money. I put on craigslist for $250, but every time someone offers …

I have been a busy man the past month and thought I would share the results. It's been cold and wet so the pics are going to be limited. Work was more important since time was a factor. Next house will have a BIG garage. Working in the elements has it's challenges. Lets get this party started. I decided I wanted to try the XCONS out sealed and I sure am glad I did. I still have HUGE output and the SQ improved in a big way. Nice tight bass that you feel in your gut. Amazing. Dont listen to that bullchit that you need a big ported box to get the XCONS loud. That is just not true and the people saying it have no experience actually doing it. These MF'ers wang in a sealed box…

This is my build log for my 1999 Honda Accord. I will be changing out most the equipment I put in a year ago. The system installed now sounds good , But not at the decibel levels I want. So this time around I will be spending alot more on higher end eqipment to do it "better" this time so I am happy when done. So these are my goals: Basically better sounding at high volumes Higher efficiency speakers and subwoofer Block outside noises and inside rattles True low end freq repoduction (type-r doesn't hit the very bottom end) better mid-bass (maybe a 3-way) Better sounding mid-ranges and tweeters I must still have a SPARE TIRE Must still have some useable space left in tr…

In one of my intro threads I remarked it was like an old addiction. Seems as of late well for over 13 years I've mended my ways and laid down my desires for my family. What started as just a small system has resurrected the monster. I have a few goals intended for this system they are: 1. Create a clean install which is removable with minimum effort. After all this is our family car. 2. Target db level 145 3. Modular design to accept several boxes and yet remain SANITARY in installation. 4. Kid proof Covers to prevent kids from dropping stuff in ports (one reason the passive radiator is one of the designs) 5. Design for double the electrical draw. On hand purchased …

Hello everyone, I post this thread not only to show what has happened to my car over time but more importantly to thank everyone that participated in helping me. You who helped know who you are... Thank you so much for the ideas and the help and the encouragement. This thread goes out to you! I think this started in Summer 2006 I've got lots of pictures, not completely done with the newest phase, but I'll update this from oldest till now! Tryin to organize and figure out how everything can fit and still have the required air space... I love that little nipple thing in the middle Ya gotta upgrade!

This build is for a team mate of mine. Build consists of a pair of 18" Fi BTL's on a single [email protected] Car is a 2003 VW Golf. Enclosure specs... [email protected] on with the pics. terminated and dressed a few wires today. two from the alt to the batt. (Red tech-flex) two from the engine block to the frame. (silver) two from the batt to the fuse holders.(red tech-flex, w/ bare wire on one end)

I am starting a new kefed enclosure for two Pioneer ts-w3002d4 subs. I am a little unsure of how to calculate the volume of the kerfed or flared port. I have two designs so far but I am unsure of which will be the best.

What do you guys think would be best for 2 fi Bl 18" box wise. 26"H x 37"W x 30"D giving it 14 cubic feet 24"H x 36"W x 40"D giving it 17 cubic feet 24"H x 34"W x 45"D giving it 18 cubic feet I am going to be getting 2 AQ1200d for each sub. I want it to hit pretty hard. I will be posting up some pics of the build that will get chosen the most. Thanks!

Whats up everybody. I'm kinda new to box building and I need help a little bit. I am going to be building a box for my 2 18" Fi Bl's. The box is going to be 26" High x 36" Width x 35" Depth at 16 cubic feet. Can someone help with the slot port size or measurements Thanks!

Ok this has been my goal for a decent amount of time and I marked 2010 as my start date for accomplishing this goal. (4) Fi BTL 18's triple stacked (Basically completed) (10) Deka intimidators (2) stetsom 10kd's (3) DC Alts (300 amps) (14) AA carbons (2) AQ mids amps Kenwood Exceleon x693 A boat load of sound deadener Hmmmmmmmmm I think I want a 16v system but we will see. Ok I have to admit it looks better with the rims, but they were only 20's anyway (outside pics) My personal favorite pic. It looks like my truck is challenging ALL comers. lol still doing some uploading and editing, I want to get this stuff off of my hard drive space and actually use them. lol I…

Here is a teaser pic for my new console that's going in my truck. Hopefully the picture will show up since I'm new to posting pics. Looking forward to documenting the process for you guys.
