Build Logs

October 23- My new head unit arrives. Eclipse CD1000 October 27- I went and purchased an Optima Yellow Top. October 31- My RCAs are here. Tsunami November 6- My subwoofer came today. Eclipse SW7200. More pictures soon. Install will begin once I get everything.

Been awhile buty I'm still around. Pulled the 4 18's out and sold one 7500. Gonne run these 2 X18's on the other 7500 at .5. in a makeshift 6th order. I hate the the idea of flexing the whole truck like other truck before with this box.. So im gonna wall it at the B-Pillar and use the top section and shell it in and make a loading wall. 370amp Mechman Elite and 2 3400's, will add another 3100 for the back.

Hello…my name is Dobson and I am a mechanic in the army…currently doing a tour in Iraq…with a good understanding of how to do installs…I am writing this to ensure that I have touched on every major aspect of my new install for my truck…I will try to be a descriptive as possible…so here goes nothing…I have a Chevy Avalanche…I will use the system for daily use and compete to see what it will do…my sub box will be single chamber and will take the place of my mid gate…I want to get two Fi BTL 18s…dual one ohm…subs will be wired in series to get two ohms from each sub…I will wire the subs together in parallel to equal one ohm…the amp I want is a Rockford Fosgate T40001 BD…wire…

Well, i crashed my BMW in december and yesterday i bought a new car "Honda Civic" 91. Engine is running great and body is good, but i will get it painted as soon as possible. Also need some new wheels, and window tint. There is no stereo in car, no HU, even front speakers. Pictures.

I got my zcons coming in there 18s and I have a few ideas for it I got about 20 cubes to work with here's some pictures could anyone tell me if I'm close or way off?

Okay so obvs this is NOT car audio build log, and i couldn't decide if this belongs in the Off Topic or what so fuck it Most people don't know how it's done, a lot of people ask me.. but it's to complicated to explain in a small conversation. So.. what's better then a build log? This is mainly for my SSA brothers and sisters to kill some time This is going to be a Soccer Field in Scottsdale, AZ It's 14 thousand square feet. This was originally an Inline Hockey Rink, but in AZ Soccer is SO much more popular. Pulling the rolls of Turf off the trailer Before we touched anything Dropping the rolls of Turf in place Second roll dropped Keeeeep em coming! Rolling them …

Been working up some ideas and have decided to persue the latest idea. Attempting to be LOUD and PIMP looking but is quite the challenge to both. This one is more focused towards looking nice but should through up some descent numbers too. It isn't an SPL focused setup but surely at some point in time this year I will have something more towards SPL... just depends on how this one sounds. I am anxious to build something so here it begins. Here is my dirty VUE Under the hood Cargo Area The Amps! Slot cutting with guide board held down by Josh... so much faster than clamping/moving lol. Thanks Josh! Testing flexibility More flexibility testing Gravity at work

Well I finally got my 1993 Honda Civic DX Coupe running! Windows tinted by me. Installed a Cat-Back exhaust, Short throw shifter and cold air intake. Nothing fancy just a little added horsepower Will wall the back and run 2 Sundown SA-15's off a Sundown SAZ-2500D. Front stage will be run off a Sundown SAX-100.4 on an old Oz Audio Matrix 130CS 5.25" Component system. Passively crossed over on front two channels and a pair of Sundown Neo-Pro 8" run on low pass and band passed with the SSF on the rear two channels in front doors. Pic of the car itself Will be adding XS Power batts and a new alt.

so here we go.....as some of you may know, i took the plunge and picked up 4 IA 20.1's

I hate to do a build log before I am completely done, but it looks like I won't get much else done between now and when I leave for Korea, and when I get back, I will probably upgrade, so the build will start over at that point. Starts off as a stock Jetta with an upgraded head unit. Not the best of head units, but it does what I need for now. It is a Kenwood DDX-418. The GLI model comes with from the factory with a Monsoon audio system. This consists of a factory 8 Channel amp running a tweeter and woofer in each door. It sounded good, and got loud, but there was significant lacking of the low range frequencies. Anything below 80Hz was either distorted, or non existant d…

Well, i had subs up, port back in 2 different boxes, then walled and now got design done by robin for 4th order bandpass for 2 bl 18's. Took couple pics when building, will take some pics of all in truck tomorrow. Still got to put other front on, make trim panels and repaint inside of box. But i can do all that while its in the truck. I am using matt and fiberglass on all seams inside, has 1" rods inside, and adding all thread from side to side for extra bracing. Hopefully will be finished by tuesday. Still got lot left to do, but had to put in truck while i had the extra help to move it. So far, just from playing around a little it sounds alot louder, has a total di…

Ok this is my truck. I posted it here before. Uploaded with ImageShack.us I just started the basics I shaved my xm and onstar off the roof. I installed a factory second battery and dual optimas. Looking into dual alternator bracket. installed a pioneer head unit with steeling wheel controls and bose amp interface Uploaded with ImageShack.us I tore out my back seat and am adding a sub. Trying to see what and where I can fit everything. Uploaded with ImageShack.us I finally found my wind noise it was the stupid cab vents. I am looking into soundproofing options. After much searching I have decided to use an adhesive a little like the sds site and cover it wi…

Well after having my wife TELL me to go play in the garage and put in my other amp in my truck (a 2000 GMC Sierra Z71 ext cab) before it gets to cold, I did it and I'm so pleased w/the sound and looks.

Well, this summer was going to be my time to, "complete," basically meaning upgrade, my build from last summer. Unfortunately, and fortunately at the same time, due to a few complications, I'm going deeper into audio than I had anticipated. I'm a newly added member of a team, Team Megaloud, based out of Texas, and will be, at the end of my build, utilizing a few of their amps. In case you haven't seen my current build, here's the rundown:Head Unit:- JVC KD-R730BTFront Stage:- 2 Sundown Audio NeoPro V2 6.5"- 2 CDT TW-25's- PPI BK800.4- 2 Factory Bose Audio 3" midranges off Bose AmpSub Stage:- 2 Sundown Audio E8V3's in a 1.8 cubic foot box tuned to 35Hz- MB Quart ONX 1.1…

Whats going in the box? The amp will be a Merlon Audio 1900 Pro (2000 watts rms at 1 ohm)

This is for TRP here on the forum. We threw together a nice little box today for the DCON 10" he got from me. It is 1.45ft^3 after all displacments tuned too 33hz if I remember correctly... Theres also some pics of a box I threw together for an ED 18" for another guy. (ew, I know lol), but the box is nice

After much deliberation, I have finally laid down the plan for my project build. I planned to do a trunk build, but decided I was trying to stuff to much crap in a very limited space. Deciding to put the enclosure inside the passenger area led me to consider a wall build, but this is my daily driver. So, a below the window line, Super Stock class build this will be. Talk about jumping into the deep end. After torturous deliberations, I decided to go for SB2 and stopped flirting with the idea of ETHOS 15's and committed to an EVIL 18 . Yes, the wait is long and is killing me, but I still have much to do before it gets here. This was the first arrival: This is my Mech…
