Sup guys. Any and all suggestions/comments welcome! Ok this will be a long build w/ occasional updates. There will be 2 Rockford Fosgate Power 1000's Powering front stage (undecided) and 2 Fi Q 15's. This is a VERY small truck, so it will be close to a wall, but not really. Each sub will have it's own 4.05 cu ft box tuned to 29.78 htz. The two boxes will go side by side facing forward in what used to be the back seat (taken out). It has a 170 amp alt and a Autocraft Titanium Battery. All wiring will be in 1/0 KnuKonceptz (including already done big 3). Kenwood Excelon KAC-591 h/u... Already got both subs and one amp. Need to get the other amp. Truck has 2-5 layers of Dyna…

A little build we are doing at the shop, decided to take some pictures so here it goes. JL Clean sweep Two sets of JL C5 6.5" Coaxial Speakers JL HD 600/4 JL HD 1200/1 Two 10" JL W6v3 Here are a couple pictures of how the doors are looking, (I know about the deadner, We dont need that much but the customer already bought it before hand, and wanted me to use it all. Apart from that, any input is welcome, being an installer Im always looking to improve my work. Baffles are made from 1/2" mdf. More photos to come within the next few days.

gotta give a big shootout to robin (iamamp3pimp) for helping me with this, he does GREAT WORK!!! so if you need some work done hit him up.... and this is a shot of the first 3piece put together with my new table saw. holy hell this thing is accurate. Strange looking end grain from lowes Lumber department..... Double Baffle, Split front baffle, etc. Edges rounded over 1/4 inch for 2 Nightshade 12's and 4kw Thoughts?

This is the lawn mower I built for a Crutchfield Dream It contest. W7-8, PDX 600 and 150, Pioneer 7000bt, and polk mm 6 3/4s. Optima yellow top 4 gauge wire fused distribution. And street glow Check it out tell me what you like. Its on crutchfield too Also video of build and install.

1.9 cubes net tuned to 34hz. Its weird that I have a trend of boxes with the 34hz tune lol. This is for an eclipse convertible so space is a big issue. But yeah, sub up port to the rear. flush mount and all rounded outside corners. 40.5 in^2 of port. I wanted to go more but space was an issue again.

I am currently working on making a box for my 12" BL. Pictures look kinda crapy, used a cell phone. Just have pics of the L Port, the new sub and new amp that is going to be going into my 2001 Jetta. 12" BL US Amps MD1D My L Port with some routered edges Primed the L port and other pieces of the box And for the front of the box I am going to put some stained cherry veneer

something like a 2.5:1 ratio, cant remember exact specs off top, but regardless, sounds good, looks good, drop lows, what else ya want? skinned a tree stump to use as a brace. glassed up the sealed section SUBSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, beefy bitches man stain game here we come

Well, I just finished this install not too long ago. Once the amps get in I'll get video of it running at it's full potential. Here's the link to the build on ca.com. http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=312198 Tell me what you think.

This box is a rebuild due to his last box apparently never being built correctly. A 15yr old guy on ca.com that seems to do decent work built his last box, but it was rattling from day one and Ben thought it was the sub, and I, telling him the whole time it sounded like either his hatch or the box. Either way, the top plate of the box seperated from the enclosure walls and really rattled, making this setup un-playable. So we decided to build him a new one. Ernie started this box yesterday and we finished it up today. old box. new box. we'll have to get some video's of this thing now. It flexs everything in his car, digs down nice and low and distorts my voice e…

Well I purchased this explorer the Monday 12-22-08. So I've had it a few weeks. The truck is dent free, interior is near perfect, very good find IMO. the only body issue it has is some rust on the rockers (hidden when the door is shut)--It'll be taken to the local shop to get those taken care of. Anyhow this is a fairly undecided build other than it'll fit in the MECA class S1 or S2, needs to do roughly 150-154db (headrest on the T/L) So far I have and think I'm installing: 1 Sundown 3000d, 2 Sundown Nightshade 12's D1 (however I plan on running a single 10" woofer and more power for the final setup--Need a company to get me a big beast of a 10 hint hint..) The HU is a…

Just bought me a new car.. New setup, new everything. Basic Specs Trunk Space: 13.4 ! Horsepower (SAE net @ rpm) 305 @6,500!!!! Super fast engine for a V6 MPG: 19 city/31 Hwy automatic, EPA-estimated (I get about 21.5 city) Bore and Stroke (mm.) 95.5 x 86.7 Compression Ratio 11.0:1 Torque (lb.-ft. @ rpm) 280 @4,250 Now some pics

This is a build for my friend Ehsan. We're replacing his current seald box, with a ported one. The new setup will be a 5 cube enclosure, sub up port back, tuned to 32Hz. Equipment will be a SoundSplinter RL-P 15" powered by a Powerbass 1000.1d, all in a Nissan Xterra. Current setup. Supplies. Getting started. Closer to being done. Thats it for today, more to come tomorrow evening.

Here is the story behind the 75 buck truck. The tranny went out in the buick , and my mother in law mentioned a friend of hers had a truck that a junk man was scheduled to pick up for 75 bucks. Well i had every intention of paying 75 bucks and selling it to the scrap yard for 300-400. But when i got to the owners house , he said it runs , but its pouring water everywhere. A shop quoted him 1200 bucks for head gaskets. So i decided to crank it up and see what this truck was all about. Come to find out it only needed a freeze plug!!! So i shut my mouth and gave the owner his 75 bucks in exchange for the title. Now another "need to know" tidbit about this build is so far i h…

For a single AQ HDC3-A 10" 1.5@37hz Dual flare. Flush. On with the pics.

Here's the old setup I had in my e30 318is. It was ~1.4ft^3 ported into the cabin through the rear deck and tuned at 36hz if I remember correctly. A few members wanted to see pics soooooooo... I cut all this out of the car.... As always, questions and comments welcome...

I am starting this thread because I am not prepared for the big build, so I am looking for ideas. Yes I said it I am looking for "Ideas." I am new on here and I know some things, but not all. So as an effort to show how humble I am when it comes to learning something I am interested in, I would like to start from scratch. I am searching other threads, youtube, etc on builds, terms, etc, but it wouldnt hurt for you all to throw me some ideas. I have my own ideas, but I would like to review different avenues to make sure I will be satistied with my build. I would like to give display my pictures, and my current equipment. Currently I am thinking about walling my subs off. I…

so i finally got the kicker sold and am now saving up for new subs. but in the mean time i figured i would redo the setup with my old (and first sub) pioneer pro 10". the old box was built to factory specs, but unfortunately later on i found out it was tuned to 60hz or something crazy like that. i used to have the ssf set at 35 from what people would say and i always got stinky coils. so i cut the top off the box, knocked the ghetto fab round port i made of mdf off, and slid a few pieces of walls in to make a port. lol but this baby has still held up strong since october last year and is now even better!! the box now is about 1.6 cu.ft. tuned to around 34-35hz with kerfed…

So after a long time of admiring and contemplating the ssa evil, I was pleastly surprised that they offer it in 12" now. Did a lot of question asking, researching and lucky for me the tax sale started , so I finally went ahead and purchased two and a pair of the evil Mids. Because of the build time it gives me time to stack up some money for an amp to push it. Ive tried searching for info on these but there's not that many info I was able to find on the 12s and on the mids. So I'll be sure to get some vids up and post my experience with it to help any future bass heads who wanna know more about these. Can't wait, it was a hard decision between these and the …

My next build will consist of two 12bl's fully loaded and an AQ2200d. The box will be ported and built to specs. Now the only problem im going facing is that when running 2200WRMS, do you have to upgrade your alternator? or will you be fine with the xs 3100d? I will only play my system 3/4 of the way up for about 10min every day. Big 3 upgrade is already done.

well i reconed the second apx 10 yesterday and decided to build the box today. i actually went and drove on the interstate to see how it sounded. the box is 4.25 cu ft after all displacements with two 4 inch aero ports. i do need to add more bracings to the top and bottom pieces though. i will be doing the added bracing tomorrow. I have two braces in the box now. In the last pic it only shows one, but i have one right next to that brace going from the top to bottom.

Hi, after i got my new car i thought of building something small, possibly stealth... I found some pics of the same car as mine on the internet.. So i ordered a Dual 2 Fi SSD 10 some days ago and great surprise, i got mail :bigclap: (Thanks to BladeIce) I started building a little enclosure for the sub, about 1 cu @ 35 Hz... OEM integration: Enclosure Finished Wosk great, but it only plays the low notes nice, with high tones i have loud air tourbulences, but why??? Pleaaase help me!!
