Well it's time for a rebuild. I am shooting to win MECA Street 5 finals this year. I set a state record so far this year with my two death penalty 21's. 148.6 at the headrest. Thats pretty good I think, and I am very happy with it being my first year competing. I have also picked up xs power as a sponsor, and am a member of Team DBs! Now to win the finals I am going to need to get louder. In the mid 150 range. So I sold the 21's and am getting 4 2010 model Death Penalty 18's, an will be running them off of my new 40.1!! And here is the start of the rebuild. Starting with the box.

Equipment list: - Eclipse cd7000(fully active) - Zapco reference 1100.1(800 x1 @4ohm ) - Stereo Integrity Mag 12" d2(wired to 4ohms) 1.3 cube box sealed with polyfil - Avionixx 440.4 - Hertz HSK165s component set - Second Skin Deadening - Audio Control Epicenter(not being used) - Knu Accessories -plenty of techflex :tasty: pics: this is my favorite part, its the spare wheel screw, so my box is fully secured to the frame amprack: support beams:

i just got this memphis mojo 2500 watt amp and i thinking of putting it on my 2 12 mtx 9500's dual subwoofers.. i know they rated at 1000 rms each but i heard people say they can take 1500 rms with no problem.. so tell me what you guys think.

Car is a '94 Buick Roadmaster. Purchased it about 2 years ago. Spent the 1st summer deadening the car, and last summer I just didn't have much time to get things done. Goal is to have a stereo finally installed in it this year! Have a little road trip coming up on June 22nd, and I would really like to at least have it playing music before then. Between work, the gym and my kids' evening activities I don't have much free time so that is quite a challenge. Not starting from scratch here. But hoping a little log will keep me on track and responsible for getting shit done. To get things up to speed...the car is deadened front to rear with SDS sound deadening. I bel…

Alright so many of you may know I've gone through several systems in the past few years that have ranged from third row boxes, third row walls, all the way to a b pillar wall. Every single one of these systems were only able to reach 150db and not more beyond that. I've decided to step it up a notch this time and stop doing 2 subwoofer setups in such a large vehicle. With that being said, here are some details. Woofers:(8) American Bass XFL 15's Box Design: 6th Order Bandpass Power: 12,000 watts, eventually 22,000 when upgraded to 16 volts Speakers: More information to come Box and design being built by Mike Singer Got rid of the old 2x4's and put a new birch wood …

2 audioque HDC3 15's 1 sundown saz 3000d 1 jl 300/4 Pioneer avh p5000dvd 00 all the wat back Kinetik hc800 and hc 2400 in the back deep cell up front for mid idk yet still lookin around Tweets uhh lookin at seas prestige idk yet though I need help on the box. I can't find box specs for these things anywhere. I've seen people with 4.5 for one and 8.5 with 2. I was thinkin around 7.5 at 34. Any suggestions on mids tweets or box size and tuning is welcomed. Ordered the subs yesterday haven't received any shipping details yet, but I am expecting about 2 or 3 weeks. This will be a pic heavy build and video heavy. STAY TUNED!!!!

for those of you that didnt see in the other thread, i took the first one out. i really wasn't happy with it once i thought about it. this one, already with the false floor, is coming out alot better. the floor is 2 layers thick. the first layer is bolted with 1/2" x 2.5" bolts in the rear, and up front its tite bonded, and screwed to those 2x4's u see under there. the 2x4's themselves are also bolted to the body with the same bolts. none-the-less, its very sturdy, and not gonna budge. the 2nd layer is self explanatory, its to make is 100% level (to cover the bolt heads used to bolt the first layer down) and to clarify, the cuts i made on the rear cross-member, to get tho…

Denim said it was ok for me to make a new thread. i really like how the box is turning out. keep in mind im not done at all, so dont think its just gonna be like this. its getting braced up real good, and the inside is getting resined. the pics you've been waiting for... the cuts (just back, bottom, and sides) quick mock-up tite bond is the ****

I figured it was about time to finally post up this build. We've been working on it for about 2 weeks now and we are making very good progress. Well on to the good stuff!!!! My roommate and i are walling off his '04 Monte Carlo with 3 BTL 18s with 6 SAZ-1500Ds. All equipment going in the monte is: 3 BTL 18" 6 SAZ-1500D 4 sets of Fusion Reactor 6.5 comp. 2 sets of Fusion Reactor 6.5 coax. SAX-100.4 for comp. ( haven't figured out an amp for the coax. just yet. Audiocontrol Matrix Audiocontrol EQS 3 Northstar NSB 100ft batteries Powermaster 250A alt. and lots of wire and sound deadening. Box is 19.5cuft after all displacements with 2 10" aeros and tuned to 34 hz. All is do…

so the time has come to start my build log, 02 Monte Carlo SS with 4 15" F.I. BTL N2's with 2 sundown 4500's and the 100.4 for all the mids, 4 infinity kappa 6x9's and 2 6 3/4" kappas in the door powered by Mechman H.O. alt with 5 XS Power 14v batteries,Pioneer AVH-p5200bt and a shit ton of 0 gauge wire ( yes in ky that is an actual measurement) also have the viper 5902 Tear down starts FEB 8th, will keep pictures updated as progress continues. Here are a few pics of everything im using,

So this is what i've been up to for the past week, 2 gallons of spectrum firewall on the inside of the fiero, i figure i'll buy another gallon and a roll of raammat just for the roof/doors. The quarter windows were broken so i made some of those too, the driver's side is still hardening and i haven't even trimmed out the other yet, but they look god so far. considering replacements are $200+ i'd rather try using my leftover fiberglass first.

We were given a project in my business management class -- make a business. I decided on doing a car audio shop. I got all the work on the business done early, so I figured I'd go above-and-beyond and build a movable car audio display to show off a bit Here's the build log: I went to Lowes and got two sheets of 3/4" MDF, and had them cut it to spec. (The pictures are quite big if you click 'em... 56K'ers be warned!) The bottom being screwed on: The screws are in!: Counter-sunk ftw: I'll be filling those screw holes with some sort of putty so I can later paint the whole cabinet. The top's on!: The one problem about working with yourself and not having corner clamps…

I'm going to be posting random pictures of my installation progress here, and keeping notes of what I have\still need. Excuse the brevity!

Ok guys and gals, I have a 07 Saturn ion daily driver. Over the next few months I'm going to post pics and videos (hopfully) of what I got why I got it, and my reasoning behind my choices. ATM I have on order a fully loaded 15 FI BL dual two. Which looks like it will be awhile before it shows up which is good for me, got plenty of time to get everything installed and ready for the arrival. received a few goodies today to get started. H/U I got a KENWOOD Dpx300U it's a dual din receiver to match my oem style. 4 Infinity Kappas 62.11i They are 6 1/2 2ohm 2 ways 75 watt rms. should sound pretty good or at least I hope. Powering them with a mtx thunder 75.4 100 watt r…

i'm finally going to have a soundstage in my room i always cheat. .1$ / ft = cheap cuts. but i couldn't afford right now tools like the shop has ignore the particle board. i had parts cut for some furniture. first time with the router. mid hole is a tiny bit too big. the tweeter fits perfect. i love my circle jig. diy terminals ftw ? still missing something, but it should be ready soon now all i have to do is sand the bondo and give it a test. working thursday and friday afternoons means painting is going to take a looong time. no pics of the actual build. getting all the tools on the table took more time than the actual assembly. i planned these boxes as temporary…

Alright...we started with this. We originally built an 8.5 cubic foot box for a Blazer, but he sold the blazer and bought a 1990 Mustang GT hatchback...which is just a little small for 8.5 cubes. Here's what we started with Then started cutting and gluing

<p> This is just of the sub portion since I already had everything else installed and replaced sub stage. I went with Quentin's box design, 12" XCON D2, and BC2000. Only thing left is the 270a Mechman. I'll just run through what i have. Kenwood excelon, 4 kicker ks68 6x8's, 2 kicker tweeters, each Tweeter is in parrellel with a 6x8. running the is a MTX te404. Looking to upgrade speakers sometime in future. All 0 guage wire for big 3 and ran to the back baterry and sub amp then 4 guage from batt to te404 amp. Replaced my MTX Thunder 9500 12" and a MTX te1501d. Here's the pics.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>http://s…

Thought I would post up some pictures of my build. Im pretty excited because its my first build and my first stereo system. Its going in a 00 toyota camry. its nothing fancy car wise. but I figure if I have access to a wood shop and such why not build it? heres whats going in it Alpine 9885 headunit pheonix gold octane R's 5.25 components with tweeters Hifonics TXi6406 Sundown audio SAZ-1000D 15 inch massive audio DMX stg2 CF subwoofer box is ported at 3 cubic feet tuned at 34Hz audio control epicenter I know the amp for the sub is kinda on the small side but it should do for now until i get a better sub and amp later on down the road when i get back to the states. right …

Well guys I been on this forum for a lil while and its overdue that I make a build log. I dont have much $ flow to work with so, I have to sacrifice some things to get what I have. This enclosure was originally for a 15" Fi BL, it was 3.5 ft sq, tuned to 34hz. I redid it for a 15" FI BTL. Pretty much took the face off and had help from a friend guide me through it. This was a quick fix for my enclosure and it still holding on. I dont hve much pics of the build log, but I will post what I have. I redid the enclosure to 4 ft sq tuned to 34Hz. I used PVC for aeros and flared them, but not so good job.

I'm not sure if this is the right section I hope it is. I hope you guys enjoy the pics http://i883.photobucket.com/albums/ac40/gadgeteer123/Xcon/100_0381.jpg
