Build Logs

Well the time has come for me to go ahead and show some progress with the truck. This thing has been through hell and back with me from repairing the lower intake manifold to having its fair share of abuse from low tuning. The first setup consisted of 3 18's on 2 AQ 2200's strapped with a single XS D3100 in the back for support. Let's just say this didn't work and had me reconing the subs. Best recorded score of the 3 18's before blowing them. Sadly, I bought an alternator that was actually sitting in the backseat at the time I was giving a demo and blew the subs. Unfortunate for me, it was a fuckin Tenney that didn't work! It looked nice and legit though.…

Alright, so I started my box build yesterday with a buddy of mine. It's 5.5 ft^3 roughly. It's sealed with a downfire mounted subwoofer. The subwoofer, as stated in the description, is a Dayton Reference HF 15" and will be powered by a Bash 500w plate amp. (4ohm) DAY 1 It was about 90 degrees yesterday with 94% humidity. Needless to say, we were a little warm. Just some scrap that we used from my first box build. Just mocked it up. DAY 2 Just had a little bit of time to work on it today. Here's a pic of the amp. And here is the only piece of wood I actually cut tonight. This is obviously the back plate. I plan on using an oak Formica to match my living rooms…

just got a 07 tahoe. just making a build log here. more then just audio. stocks pics.

I was approached a couple of weeks ago by a customer to build a box. He already had the design, only problem was school was getting busy for me, so i had to put him off a couple of weeks. I finally got some free time today to build it. The bedliner is drying as im typing this, and once its dry I'll be painting the port red (seems almost standard on SSA boxes...) and he'll be picking it up tomorrow, so I'll get a couple of pictures of it installed (and hopefully playing if its not raining). Specs: 6.8 cubes net 8.5" Octaport 32 hz All this going in a Dodge Caliber.

hey guys, im a noobie to this forum. a lot of you probably recognize my sign name/this build. here are all the pics as of now. well i have got all the wood cut other than the top and the inner port wall. other than that everything is going well. i am waiting for my 1" baffle for the sub to dry..then i can work on the mounting system for the sub(you'll see). here are some pics me screwing sub to 1" baffle. the perdy sub in the baffle. the gap was fixed btw floor piece done. the toughest part as of yet a view from inside the car my bud holding it in place the half inch bolts to mount the sub into the box bolts through the 1.75" thick baffle ass shot side …

Hey y'all! So I've had this little home theater project going in my mind for quite a while consisting of 4 15" DCONS and at this point I've collected the amp for the project and a pair of DCONS. At the same time, I've been trying to sell my old box I used for a pair of SA 15's on craigslist for about half a year. I decided to put two and two together and run the DCON's in my old box. I recalculated the box specifications for the DCONS. It's 7 net cubes at ~32hz. From the SSA site it seems like the DCON's like bigger ported boxes than the SA's... If i find the box unsatisfying i'll just cutout most of my baffle, leaving some edge like a picture frame, and then adding more…

Until I go to town I am without kerosene for the heater, so I have a minute to start my build log. Eclipse CD8053 MB Quart RAA4200 CDT Eurosport 07 braxials (I need to find out which tweet these have as I really don't recall, I think I remember drt-26 or perhaps that is wishful thinking) MB Quart RAA1000 MACH5 IXL 12 SL SDS CLD Tiles and EBR MLV and Gymnastic Mat (CCF) The vehicle is a '92 Subaru SVX and a project car if there ever was one. I started gathering some of my equipment two years ago when I still had my '93 Saturn SC2, but reality soon hit that the Saturn wasn't really the car I wanted to go all out on with a stereo install, especially with the leaking sunroof…

sorry been awhile been workin my ass of,,thought you guys would get a kick out of this,,,the pics are about a month old,,,cars at detail now,,and getting ready to hit the streets ........Stereo...........

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

This is a very fun little build for one of the guys who was there at the very start of SSA. Back in 2001 Travis was my roommate, and helped me build lots and lots of customer rides. In 2007 he bought 4 of our very first ICONs, they've sat ever since he bought them in the sealed boxes. We the other day we cracked a few of them open, and decided to put them in his 2002 Ford F150. We fired it up today for the first time, and below is the results on just 1500wRMS.

Well, after relentless debate over the ol hoopty I suppose Im gonna brush the dust off off her, well the leaves, acorns, and pine needles actually. She's been worked on and stalled and repeat and parked and well down right neglected as it wasnt a daily driver anymore. Ive pretty much figured hell Im this far and she has never let me down so its time to pamper the bitch and get her back on track. The ol Hoopty is in route for 2 18s....I got the enclosure mapped out for it already etc. Im doing a pair of Evils...thats the mission for that even tho gear is a bit out. Ummmm Im aiming for the Punch Pros in the doors. I think I can do that hoping I dont have to mod the…

So this will be my second build log on this forum. I don't think I took as many pictures this time either. But here we go, here is what was originally in the car. Had this Fi BL for over 4 years now, I say its a 2008 model but I am not really for sure. Surround is messed up but the main thing, the coil is still clean. Box was given to me, tuning was ~40hz (eww) with sub installed. Had running on the RF-T1500bdCP I bought until I put in the truck, had it slamming though. ^^^^^^Yes I love 5-minute amp racks!!!! It's in the next pic too with a new paint job. LOL Then I broke out my Memphis MC 1.1100, was still slamming, just wasn't getting LOW, like…

Gabe Leblanc and my self are in the process of rebuilding a 1983 Cutlass. We are in the process of doing body work at the moment. Once the car is in primer; we will moving on to the audio work. Then we will bring it back to finish the paint. We started making vids and will gradually get better at that part. lol The second update video is up. The car ia a good deal further than this currently. We should have another one up by early next week; hopefully.

Well my 2000 chevy cavalier started life as an ordinary black coupe. Until one day I decided to build it into a bad a** ground pounder. Enough with the weak narrative and onto the pics. Thats the victim. heres the inner box. here is some of the baffle taking shape. exciting huh? sorry about all the pics without narration, I was on a build more talk less type of trip.

Hi guys. Want to share with you some pictures of my car. This is my 2007 Mazda CX-7 that I'm building to compete in USACi SQ shows in Mexico and the USA. I'm part of Team Hybrids, the competition branch of Hybrid Audio Technologies founded by Scott Buwalda that sells some of the best speakers in the world. This is my CX-7. The Head Unit is an Alpine W205. The music travels to the back via a fiber optic cable and also via Ai-Net cable, where it's processed in an Alpine H701, and sent to five JL Audio amplifiers hidden under a false floor. Power distro blocks. The front stage is handled by a HAT Legatia L831-3 set. The L8's are on the doors, the L3's on the kick pa…

well, my subaru kicked the bucket and i went and bought a 2003 Ford Explorer with 61,000 miles on it this past sunday. Which means i get to un-install all the stuff from my subaru and re-install everything back into the explorer. This is what i have done so far... -headunit -2 amps -second batt -and of course subs and box and my dumbass forgot to take a lot of pictures., i dont know what it is but once i get to working i just forget completely about pis. i think the only 2 pics i got is when i had the dash out for the head unit and when mounting the fuse under the hood. but this is what i got still gotta mount the bass knob somewhere still gotta buy a new toggl…

I gotta have something that will do a little damaged when i need it to soooooo say tuned. Today i will be attempting to build a new box for one of my SSD 15's tuned somewhere around 28-35 Hz....havent decided yet........but i may need some design help!!!!!!! STAY TUNED. (1) Fi SSD 15" D1 loaded (1) Kicker ZX2500.1 (1)Kinetic KHC1800 Battery under the hood (…
