Build Logs

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 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

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.

I started this today before I tried to change my window motor assembly and realized it was a dud. Crap. Try that again next week I guess. First time ever applying sound deadener and I should have ordered the wheel with the damplifier lite. Will be buying it soon with more damplifier for my geo as it was a bitch by hand. Took a little while but got part of the inside panel done. It will be a slow project and the other door will be done with the other window motor. Not broken but getting slower these days. Will update periodically. http://s694.photobucket.com/albums/vv302/bigrank916/MLI-65%20project/

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?

well, to be honest, i just got finished looking through some of the build logs on here. and i can honestly say that, im a little disappointed in my build. this is really my first time doing everything w/o the help of my dad. hes not really around anymore, so i decided to try and tackle this by myself. ive caught alot of crap about how the box looks w/ fiberglass. i thought it was air bubbles at first to. but i didnt let the fleece harden completely, so it started sagging when the glass was kicking off. so its 100% air void free. i even sanded some down to make sure. i have 2 memphis mojo 10s going in it. i was going to run soundstream tarantula trx1500ds for it, but i dec…

Ok so this will be my official build log of my 94 Acura Legend Mobile Car Audio/Video Project. I will keep this thread updated with pics and videos of the project. The goal for this project is to build a Audio/Video System that is aimed for Daily Driving """SQL""" but also has some impressive SPL. I drive this car 100miles/day so reliable is important, I have allready done allot of visual upgrades and performance upgrades to the car allready : Here is the car when I first bought it for $700 Totalled: After 3 months of hard work here is the car fixed by me: Here's the Plan : Pioneer AVIC-N5 Headunit 6.5' Infinity Kappa Fronts 6x9' Infinity Kappa Rears U…

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! One of the best video game chairs EVER! This chair had more use OUTS…

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?

Just finished the box for my BL 12. It's going behind the rear seat, too bad no one will see it!

Ok well I have some of the equipment and there is a lot to come but should be a good build. Head unit: Pioneer avh P5000dvd Sub amp: 2 Sundown SAZ 3000D's Sub's: Not quite decided yet but more than likely will be 2 DC sound lab LVL5 15's Mids: not decided yet(Probably mach 5's) Highs: Seas prestige tweets Mid and high amp: Probably a Sundown sax 100.4 Rear batts: Kinetiks--Hc800 and probably 2 hc3200's(maybe more) Alt: DC power(not decided on what amperage yet.) The box will be built for daily ground pounding, about 7 cubes at 35 hz, subs up port back, 105sqin of port. I want to have it done by The carl casper show in Febuary, but I have a couple minor set backs right no…

This is my brothers little car, he got the subs in a trade for his TL meter. Two RE SX 18 D2's. Box is 15cuft @ 34hz. amp(s), unknown at this time. On with the pics.

Here we go.... You gotta start somewhere - Mm-hmm... Well thats gotta go... 20 rivets and a few cuts later Hey look a trunk! Out with the shag, in with the, ok we need something better than this.... Ok lets just build a box pay no mind to the split in the mdf, lol, they were out of drill bits I needed I have my doubts.... looks a little weird... Painted ready for bedliner

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...

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.

A few days ago, I won a pack of damplifier Pro on here. I finally found some time to do a little bit today. Took me about 2 hours just to do this!! I'm going to use more than half for the doors from this pack, then the rest on some trunk areas. Possibly Wednesday is when I'll have a chunk of free time before finals week.

Heres my first build log, my setup is going to be two 12 inch DC Audio Level 4's with the Level 5 coils and dual 1. Sundown audio 3000d KnuKonceptz Wire 1/0 Rockford Fosgate Fuses Lightning Audio fuse blocks 2 Deka Intemidators 9a31 H/O Alt Santa AKA the UPS man brought me some goodies Coolest way of tightening wire to the fuse block two different screws one on the side and one on top RF 300 amp fuses Fuse Block 25 ft of power Ground 1/0 size 15 ft of 1/0 ground My Box: 4.38 cu foot made of 1 inch MDF 4.10 Net after displacement of sub woofers.

I've been looking through different build logs and was woundering if anyone has posted a build log for like a 2000 dakota ext. cab with 2 15"as yet. I was just wanting some extra ideas about designs before i finalize the one i currently have I,ve seen BASSAHAULIC's build but i think he ran 18"s. Thanks for the Input?

well, havent started the install, still waiting on the battery terminals, some ring terminals, d block, comps, some speaker wire, and of course gotta find an install sleeve and trim ring the douchebag didnt send me with the HU, got some lined p just waiting to see if the guy ever gets back to me. but heres some pics. I am also probably going to wait til I get some CLD tiles for the doors to install the comps, and the box is going to be somewhere around 3-3.5 cubes at 32-35. still gotta make a decision on that. but heres some pics of what Ive gotten so far. the odd sub is just a RF S212S4 to compare the size of it.

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!
