Build Logs

Well woke up this morning ready to start building my new box for my Icon 15 everything was going good, then it started to rain. So had to pull the table saw back into the garage. I only had one last panel to cut for the port. I guess there's always tomorrow to finish it but heres what pics I have so far. The Box is going to be 4.0ft cubed tuned to 31hz with 68 sq.in of port area The Design The Panels The Kerf Cuts The 45's More pics and a finished product soon to come. Damn rain.

so i have no idea where to put this on the boards but i have a question about a second battery i have a 2003 bmw 525i sedan and have found out i need a second battery before i blow another alternator is it ok to put it near the sub box or will the vibration be bad for it? i was thinking an optima yellow top battery any suggestions? Thanks Patrick

Some equipment pictures..... I've waited long enough to start a build log. This one may progress slowly compared to my usual ~2 day builds I'm used to. But never the less, mmmm selenium + eminence + fi? Maybe I will have to add Sundown + DC as well? Still throwing ideas around.

Ok, I'm starting my new build pretty soon, probably when the next cold front comes through. But since I took everything out to measure, I needed some low end filler while I'm getting ready to start building, and until im finished...Best temp system ever. lol Tried facing them back in the back, but they kept sliding off of the little ledge and scaring the shit outa me when I would brake. What a mess. This whole setup aside form the box will be going in my gf's car around when I start my build. We're gonna use the leftover wood from my build to build a 4th order for her. She just wants a little bass till we can get some more money for some better equipment for her. It …

Well I've started the Ram finally. The tranny is about toast, but I'll deal with that when she gives up. So far I'm just started on wiring. I gutted it and started the wiring yesterday--and cleaned the moldy carpet (door seals are bad and getting replaced)... only about 3 hours invested so far. I didn't do before pics, really didn't think about it. here's some deadener. All I did is replace what was bad of the factory deadener. I have no intent on keeping this truck so I don't care to go all out on it. the factory deadener was crumbling from the excessive water that's been on the floor board. this is about all the deadener you need on the back to keep it from hu…

heres a friendly reminder of what the subs/box looked like when i first put it in over a year ago(i never found a reason to take an updated pic considering nothing ever changed) I yanked the subs to spray some spectrum in the box. mainly to make sure the subs are sealed a little better and because ive had the spectrum sitting forever so might as well do something with it. I sprayed just under a gallon in both chambers. Made some cardboard lip extensions. the goal here was to be able to attach the the fabric to the lip and stretch it into the box holes... We were unsure if this was gonna work well but it was the best idea/shot we had. Starting the fabric/…

Alright So I Decited I Wanted To Put A Built In Screen In My Box. I Was Wondering If The Magnetic Pull Of The Magnet Would Mess Up The Screen In Any Way? I Know Magnets Mess Up Cathode Ray Tv's (OLD STYLE) However The One Im Using Is A 22' LCD The BTL 15'' Barely Clears So Im Happy About That, I Just Wanted To Know About The Magnet Affecting The Screen?

I figured I would start the build now, since i got my first new amp for the new truck. First pics of the truck. Now, New amp, 1/0, and RCA's I bought today. Kicker SX 900.4 W/ Gainknob 2 sets of JL Audio Dual twist RCA's Kicker "hyper flex" 1/0 power and ground w/ D-Blocks

This is my 1st post I've been lurking alot and I have my own shop so I decided with the lack of demo vehicle here at my new shop I'd do a quick build. 3 days of work. I bit the idea off someone on the forum here I believe. 2 - 8" seleniums, 2- 6" seleniums and 1 - st200 selenium tweet.

So for my enclosure I want something girly:) Such as gucci or louis vuitton.So does anyone got any ideas on this or any similar enclosures.(I wanna be original)

I have a 94 civic trunk I need some ideas on a new box for highest spl. I have tried subs forward with 4 areo ports to the back, subs forward slot port to the back and sub forward slot port forward. I have about 33 deep by 35 wide and 15 high, im runnig 2 12 inch IA. LI's. Thanks for any help

We shopped for a Buick Rendezvous or Pontiac Aztac so we could get >18 cubes and still have room for kids, grocieries and such and avoid getting a minivan. Explorers, Blasers, Bravadas, and the like we'ren't nearly enough. Basically we are walling the hatchback. >20 cubes, 8" port. This is temporary until a 21" or 22" driver of similar specs is finished. ( >30mm Xmax, <20Hz Fs) I originally designed it to have the sub on top and port on bottom, but once the 22" is in, side by side works better.

Ok, Ace3Xa, Acidburn, Johnecon2001 & myselft started this build today for Ace's S10 Blazer. Size: 8.4 ft^3 Port: 100sq" Tuned: 34hz Subs: (4) 12" ICON 12D2 Amp: Sundown SAZ-3000d Wire: Kicker Hyperflex 1/0 more to come Starting out with the box build. Another great build at Acidburns house. Great food as usuall for our dinner break. Tonight we did "Oregano's" Pizza, wow is that stuff good.

Here are some pictures of my 2005 scion XA that I built. I dont have all of them but enough to get it up here though. Sorry for some of the picture quality and lack of info for each picture. I will do a good build log on my next project.

I got around to installing this little guy today and Im stoked. I used a 12 volt relay as that is what I have seen recommended. The install took a little longer than I wanted but overall it was pretty easy. The blue matches my truck and the illumination isnt too bright. I ran the power wire to the amp terminals to get a more accurate reading. The voltmeter is sitting in the old factory stereo location where it was swapped out for a cd pocket that the cds always fall out of. Piece of shit! It fits perfect and i like it recessed so its not blaring the light all over the cab too much. Very pleased with it though and want another for my Geo.

guess ill start with a link to my old build log, here. (link to part 1 inside the link) i got my mj18 motor coming in from big pimpin next week. followed by recone and basket from mark. also need to make an order with partsexpress for the carpet and other odds and ends... so far i got my false floor going in. just need to do the wall for the sub, trim panels around the outside, and carpet. i hope the ib goes well, im alittle skeptical... ------------------------------------- list of my equipment hu- clarion dxz785usb mids- 3" peerless fullrange midbass- sls 8 sub- mj18 (old style 8ohm coil) mid amp- zx100.2 midbass amp- kx250.2 sub amp- kenwood excelon kac x10d …

Hey guys, well i bought my ute mid last year and have been pondering a full stereo setup for a while now. Being a single cab hilux i'm a bit tight on room for a sub since the passenger seat is fixed, and am not keen on the new slimline subs. So i finally got around to making a custom fibreglass box that sits behind the seats. At this stage the install is at about 80% completion, as my funds have dried up due to University. The gear im using is Headunit: JVC KW-AVX626 7" Touchscreen Splits: MB Quart RVF 216 (snagged a pair of originals before they changed to german maestro) Sub: Alpine 12" Type S Dual 4ohm voice coil (only full size 12 i could fit without using a slimline…
