Hey guys as promised started the center console build for two Fi Q 10s. Box specs changed quite a bit because of a too tall center console cushion, but it actually worked out better, I can now make it look a little more one off custom. Box Specs: H:14 W:15 L:30 Net Volume: 4 Inch Dimpled Precision Port Tuned at a hair under 28 Hz Box material was 23/32 Auracco Baffle was doubled for 1.5 inches Here are some pics, the box will be braced with some 1 inch dowels and polyfill will get wrapped around the body of the port along with the exterior being stained to match trucks woodgrain and hand rubbed to a mirror finish. Call me crazy but i cannot figure out how to post p…

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…

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.

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 a few new pics of my install.

The vehicle is a '88 Caprice two tone, gray and maroon. The box is 5.2ft^3 net tuned to about 35hz right now. The amp is a Massive D5000.1 (2500 watts rms). The sub is a 08S15L7. I'm going to cut down the length some when the owner listens and then let him choose what he likes best. I told him I could make his setup as loud or louder than his older box with 2 of the same subs. He has a massive D5000.1 (2500watts rms at 1 ohm) and it was wired to 1 ohm before and now its going to be at 2 ohm. So half the cone area and half the power. And then the box will have black carpet. I'll be mounting his amp on the box when everything is decided with an extra layer of MDF with cus…

I messed up this thread its my first time posting pictures but hopefully they show on this thread I fuc%ed up and for some reason posted two threads sorry but this is my box built by dave the box guy 1.4 cubes tuned to 32 hertz and the speaker mounts also built by him. they are for my crescendo mezzos bought of S. DeYoung. I installed them today.

Building this little system for our family car. Trying to retain half of the 3rd row seat, and be able to remove the enclosure for trips so we have extra storage. Here we go....

I just traded my stroker for a new yellowtop, so I figured it's time for me to make another install. I decided to make a 4th order cut through running one 15" opti1532d. My main reason for running lanzar is because everyone I know thinks it's trash. I guess "trash" comes with a 4 inch voicecoil and 19mm xmax. I would of cut through my rear deck, but I'm not really experienced enough to keep that setup mobile in case I needed my spare tire. I cut through my rear seat, I believe I lost output compared to the deck, but this eliminated any rattling on the interior and exterior. I've already metered her, the loudest frequency is 32 hz and she does a 140.8. on the dash and a …

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.…

So I am posting this a part of the criteria of the Second Skin Audio Promotion give away. I would like to start by thanking Anthony from Second Skin as well as everyone at Second Skin!! Now onto the review.. Upon pick up of the deadner as soon as i grabbed the box I knew the deadner would be great. You could feel it in the wieght of the box itself lol..! Any how I tossed the box into the trunk and instantly popped open the box and was at a loss of words when i saw how nice the black backing looks on this stuff. As I pulled out a sheet I could already tell Damplifier Pro was a much better deadner than Dynamat Extreme wich i have used in the past. It is not only thicker bu…

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.

Buddy of mine picked up a nice looking 87 caprice today for a daily driver. So far it runs good interior looks good ntohing wrong with it just needs a nice cleaning and such. This will be a long slow project but will end up being nice. Def a SSA subs

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.

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 …

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

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

This is the optimal design for the X Con 18. My BTL 18 is going to be going into it. I got the design from the site here, thanks SSA! I've still got a lot of sanding to do. I did all of this last weekend. I'll be finishing it up this weekend. I've still got a lot of wiring to do. I've got a 270 amp Mechman alternator to put in. I've got 50 foot of 1/0, which I'm hoping will be enough. I think I'm going to use my starting battery I've got, a Napa 70 series or something, I'll have to look at the specs and post if anyones interested. I've got a big Wal-Mart brand battery with dual terminals I'm going to put in the back. I'll probably eventually get some better batteries once…

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!
