Build Logs

Sup... So I totaled my Explorer and broke my arm. BUT, I got a new job, got a new car, and got a (somewhat) new system. So I have two of these: Powered by this: Which is powered (in part) by this: Hooked up to the stock radio in this: And it all looks like this: The box is 4 cubes @ ~34 ish (I fuxxored the math up lol) which is a little higher than I wanted but it was as long as I could get it and still get the box in the trunk. Trunks suck ass btw. And that's my return to the land of bass. Yay.

Ok this build is up on most of the forums but I figured I'd put it up over here as well. There are a lot of pictures so I'll try and only put the important ones in here... Here are the first 2 peices... Working around the stupid hump in the back wall. Here is a picture of the back, this is at a slight angle which is causing all sorts of hell with trying to line everything up. Another shot Once again, those are all test pieces. The only "good" pieces I have are in the first 2 pictures. Pretty much the bottom, back, and the small hump. Another close up of the internal driver side. Shot of the drivers side. All those pieces are finished. Internal of the driver…

Well i finally got my truck and got my SAZ-1000D in and my 10" SSA icon. Man it sounds good. I have never heard a sub with such accuracy and overall sound quality. It has a lot of output for a little 10 and i am very happy with it. Anyways this set up is temporary until i build a new box and find somewhere to stick the amp. Box is 1.35^3@32hz. Its pretty good for my 3rd box i would say and i designed it myself. Just got to figure out if im gunna carpet it or paint. Edit - Also my first install that i did everything myself and its still not done. On to the pics - The truck - 01' GMC Sierra with 47k miles. So far all i have done is get the windows tinted and the sub in. …

After a recent break-in, I'm having to rethink/rebuild my subwoofer box and amp rack, as well as replace the equipment. Fortunately my front stage was untouched, so the only change coming is in the rear. Vehicle: 2004 Toyota Matrix Equipment (new stuff in red): Source: Rockford/Denon RFX-8250 Mids: Usher 8945P 7" Tweets: Peerless 810921 HDS 1" dome Sub: JBL W12GTi MkII Enclosure: 1.7 ft.^3 sealed (after sub displacement) Front amp: Kenwood eXcelon XR-4S Sub amp: Kenwood eXcelon XR-1S Processor: Rockford 3sixty.2 My goals for this build are to decrease subwoofer footprint by utilizing the spare tire well for extra airspace in an effort to increase cargo capacity.

Well, looks like its time for me to start doing this rebuild instead of constantly talking about it. I know Steve will be happy, I dont have any pictures or have actually started it yet but Im about to pick up my Bravox Components and a spool of XP flex 0 gauge so thats the starting point. Heres a little outline of my current setup and what will be done after I rebuild.

I don't have a lot of pics but I will tell ya this......The DP21 is one sweet sub. Looks unbelievable and sounds ever better. A lot more accurate on fast bass then you will ever expect and simply kills on rap and all low end bass. If you got the money, power and room, GET THIS SUB! That is a Hyfonics Golitath 15, MA Audio 12, and old school MTX Roadthunder 12 surrounding the DP21 Just a few measurements One 7.5 cubic foot box tuned to about 32hz for one full size Ford extended cab truck Power for the beast. Sundown 3000d

This will be my first post on this forum. i am building a c pillar wall in my 2010 scion xb rs. I am starting this thread pretty late in the build so it will completed very quickly. any advice would be awesome. i have been building systems for a few years now but it is my first wall and first time using 18s. Equipment will be; 2 incriminator audio Judge 18s sundown NS1 mechman 240 amp alt crescendo logice group 31 batteries audiotechnix 1/0 sky high 8 guage speaker wire rockford 2 channel for mids 2 sound qubed 6.5s (temp)

I've been here long enough. Time to nut up or shut up, as the saying goes. Here are some pics of what I built. The goal: Loud. How loud? 140+ on the Term lab. The challenge: To do it with low power and a sTock electrical system. Journey with me as I go for the moon. First some info of my build. The car: 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cierra A.K.A The Cream Puff Head Unit: JVC KD-HDW10 A basic CD player with a built in HD tuner and RCA outputs Amps: 2 US Acoustics USB-4085 1 at 85 watts x 4 @ 4ohms (mids and highs) 1 at 240 watts x 2 @ 4 ohms (subs) Fronts: Powerbass 3.5" coax in stock location Rear: MTX Thunder Axe 5-1/4" components Subs: 2 Ascendant Audio Atlas 15" Electical: S…

The goal 140. My previous attempt netted me a 135 and change at 32Hz. You can see my previous build here: Original Build This time I'm upping the anty with a pair of 18s and double the power. A mind boggling 900 watts. That's 900 old school class A/B watts via US Acoustics USB line. Why you ask? Because, they're cheap. The 2150 average about $100 bucks on ebay and the 2080 were about $40, which includes shipping. Here is a run down of the setup: The car: 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cierra A.K.A The Cream Puff Head Unit: JVC KD-HDW10 A basic CD player with a built in HD tuner and RCA outputs Amps: 2 US Acoustics USB-2085 both at 80 watts x 2 @ 4ohms (mids and highs) & 2 US…

Goal of this build is to look good, but most importantly sound good. pics do the talking testing port fitment snuggieeeeeeeeee

Was not going for a show quality build the car gets driven from time to time. I have a few more things left to do (secure the box down, run bass remote up front, try cleaning up wiring a lil more). BL 12 fully loaded i followed the box cut sheets over in the Fi forum for a BL. Knu Konceptz 0 awg dual amp kit, Sundown 1200D and 50.4, didnt want to go to crazy or have to alter the car much so i am just running infinity 6x8's, in the stock locations with a pioneer avh-p4200dvd. This is what i wanted so i did alot of research on this forum over the last year so thanks for all the info. Need to do some sound deadening next probably gonna go with some raam mat.

ok i only took a few pics, as i was in a rush to get it done before sun down. new sony deck i cant recall what number, mp3 ipod blue tooth mafaka 1 rf 1000 watt amp... nice small foot print for a 1k amp, 1 atomic quantum 15 2.5 cubed tuned @33 herz yeah you like that sexy belly iforgot to get a after shot, but you know its all pretty and coverd, fat man in a little truck? i mounted the amp on the back seat wall...... and then the box is mounted infrnt of the amp, to make for great trunk space while also hiding that high dollor amp. it was cold and exhaust was hot.. so the pics no so great. it really sounds great.. .nice set up..

Finally made a start on my new build this week Will be slow with updates over the next 1-3months, but in the end it should equal to one of the loudest cars in the country Its called mini mayhem due to it sharing the same equipment as this van: http://www.talkaudio.co.uk/ipb/index.php/topic/294453-ascendant-audio-chevy-astro-the-mayhem/ Of course its on a much Smaller Scale, kit list will include: 2 Ascendant Audio Mayhem 18" Woofers 2 Pairs of Ascendant Audio 7" Mid range Speakers (4 in Total) 2 Pairs of Ascendant Audio Tweeters 2 Pairs of Bullet Horn Tweeters Alpine 9886R Imprint Sound processor Audiocontrol Epic 160 Vibe Deltabox Fusion Powerplant 4 Channel amp (4X 22…

The tool kit........ well part of it. Soon to be installed..... 4 mids/4 tweets per front door.

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…

I figured I should post this build as it's going to be completed by June 24, 2011. Which is the first day of Scrapin' The Coast. This is a build on a budget, just as all my previous builds have been. I'm 17 and install on the side.. Co-owner of SouthSlap.com. This is my 4th personal build to date. My last build was 6 T3 Audio T400 12s in a 2004 Tahoe on 2k.

I decided to start the Build Log finally, unlike most it isnt complete and wont be finished in a month or two (as Im still making decisions and buying gear at the moment). I am going to start the build with what has been done in the trunk so far. Bare naked trunk, starting battery factory location (2 - 1/0 AWG Kicker Hyperflex, soon to be 2 - 3/0 Welding Cable runs of ground wire). Trunk with Carpet Sundown SAX-125.2 (for mids - all wiring will be upgraded to KnuKonceptz Kollossus 4 Gauge and KnuKonceptz Karma 16 ga. speaker wire).

This build will not be a rushed one.. I want to take my time, cause I rushed my last build. I have learned alot of stuff from other forums, but from the little time I have been looking at the amazing builds here.. I know I will be busy soon getting this beast running before any audio goes in, but I have also been working on some ideas.. It's not for sure cause if I can get to it I have been in contact with Mike Singer to design me a 4thorder for 12 12's.. I probably will be using some Alpine type R's (older models swr-1242d) for awhile until funds allow me to go further.. Mike said that using the alpines would not be a bad thing cause they do so well in sealed enclosures…

Hey guys, realised I never really started a build log, but I always wanted to.. So I figure its never too late to start and i can always go back and add old stuff in here that I already completed. Well Monday I got my Kinetik HC1400r in the mail and then installed it Tuesday afternoon before college! This thing is a beast for sure compared to Walmarts batt I was runnin up front
