Build Logs

I figured I would go ahead and put up a build log since some of my stuff came in today and I plan on being done with this project over the next month. Well I'm 16 years old and this is my first car a '97 Toyota Tercel, I got this car from my grandma as a gift and I couldn't be happier with the 40mpg I get. (1.5L 97hp lol) There is a couple things I plan on doing to it like a new paintjob and some rims and a tint job, etc. The first thing I'm going to do is give it a little acoustic upgrade on a slim budget. My planned setup HU - Pioneer DEHP3000IB Front Stage - 4" Kenwood KFC1682 Back Stage - 6 1/2" Kenwood KFC1682 Mids Amp - Kenwood KAC 500 Sub Stage - 1 15" Fi SSD Sub …

finally done with my exams and i can start work on the car. objectives : a "budget" active system as stealthy as possible nothing much at first. progress is very slow because of some family "issues" keeping me away... first up, mounting the head unit (alpine 9813 i found locally) : dash ripped apart, so i can fabricate some brackets to hold the hu in place head unit running the stock speakers...just a quick test before the end of the day

I've have been getting requests to see what going on with the car since the big audio build, so here are a few pics. No 160 page build log. No 160 dbs. Just having some fun with the car. There will be a little audio but nothing really planned at the moment. Keep in mind this car has not seen daylight since World finals in Indy, 9 months ago. The last month or so I have been restoring the intetior back to new factory. No expense spared here. I wanted every little detail done nice. Carpet, seats, misc trim pieces, ect... Three weeks ago we welcomed our newest addition to the Mead family so a lot of time will be with the family and not in the garage. Now that that's out o…

well when i first got this truck i said i was just going to do somethin small under the back seat and keep all my seating for me and my friends. well that didnt last long and i have my re hc 12 in a t-line in the back seat. that was alright for a little but just wasnt enough for me, so i started shopping around and came upon a deal for 2 Xcon 18's. i purchased them and am waiting on them to show up monday!!! my other equipment will be a Sundown 1200d, and switching my hu from a single din ecplise to a double din ecplise. will get pics of all the stuff when i finish the build on monday. so enjoy. also box is 16-17 cubic feet at 28hz with 2- 8" ports.

Ok building a small box here...here's the specs. Volume: 14.4ft^3 Port : 187in^2 Tune: 31 hz

I have been a busy man the past month and thought I would share the results. It's been cold and wet so the pics are going to be limited. Work was more important since time was a factor. Next house will have a BIG garage. Working in the elements has it's challenges. Lets get this party started. I decided I wanted to try the XCONS out sealed and I sure am glad I did. I still have HUGE output and the SQ improved in a big way. Nice tight bass that you feel in your gut. Amazing. Dont listen to that bullchit that you need a big ported box to get the XCONS loud. That is just not true and the people saying it have no experience actually doing it. These MF'ers wang in a sealed box…

Here is a teaser pic for my new console that's going in my truck. Hopefully the picture will show up since I'm new to posting pics. Looking forward to documenting the process for you guys.

This is pretty much a reinstall of my previous build with a few changes. Namely the nexus 7 tablet install. A parts list is probably the best place to start. Speakers dayton nd20 (A pillars, probably)tang band w4 1337 (kick panels)peerless sls 8" (IB doors, might build enclosures if rattles can not be controlled)mach 5 mj18 8ohm (IB ski pass)Amps tweeter amp - kicker 100.2mid amp - us acoustics usx 2080midbass amp - 2x kicker 250.2sub amp - cadence zrs2002processing 2x minidps 2x4 Tablet and related hardware nexus 7 (1st gen)otg cable (usb and charge)4 port usb hubjoycon exr steering wheel interfaceSound deadening everything is from SDS. I'll list materials as I us…

guess i will go ahead and start the build log...... so, this is about where we decided I should be taken pictures, most demo work was done before i got the cell phone out, no camera for a while yet. took out the rear seats completly and made up some panels to replace the void. have started some of the electrical upgrades as well as some basic deadening.

Well this is the start to a slow build first things i got in. Gonna do all electrical first with 2 runs of 1/0 to the back probably one big ass 210ah battery i found in the back on top of a 220+ amp alternator.

Hello All! I was able to trick Santa again this year, and he kept me on the nice list. With some help from the gents at SSA, he brought me 2 new XCon 12s....WooHoo!! It's finally time for me to get building and put these suckers to use. This will be my first time building a box, but this creates a perfect excuse to buy more tools. I would like to reach out to you guys and get some experienced advice to help in my first quality build The car is a 2008 Pontiac G6 GT Coupe. It has the Bose Monsoon system, which isn't terrible for a factory unit. Unfortunately, all of the cars display features are integrated in the factory's HU display. For this reason I will be k…

I hope you understand my english, i will also keep uploading pictures o…

What a better date to start a build log than your birthday. The vehicle is a 6th generation Toyota Celica, 1.8 liter engine running on LPG. My goal is to have a nice, clean and loud system. I am limited to finances, so it will be a slow one, but with passion and desire to learn. I am first importer of Sundown Audio in Bulgaria, so I will try to represent the brand as best as I can. Hoping to one day have my own little shop for car audio and install, and Sundown as my main brand? For now I have a single SA-12 with the new stitched cone, SAZ-1500D, and two 10" Neo Pros which will go in the doors. 88A battery up front, single run of 0ga to the amp, upgraded engine wires.…

Wanted to do a log over here. Site seems wicked legit. Love to hear any constructive critz..... I had a Acura tsx build. Got sick of trying to make it work....... Sold every single bit of gear, and went looking for a platform i can beat, and break. Have a lil fun with. Searched all of Utah for 2wd versions. After 7 weeks... found and chose.

Bit the bullet and decided to do what I have recently dreamed about, 4 Sundown SA-15's on a SAZ-3500d, around 14-16cuft with a tuneable port. Started a few days ago and here is my most recent pic, *False floor is not finished* Oh, also...the box with the 8 was a 2 minute throw together with what I had LOL BTW this is what it looks like from the outside...

I already have a lot of mods done to my car as shown in a previous build log. 2017 will be a blend of SQ and +150db car : 2015 Hyundai Sonata electrical : 300 amp Ohio Generator, (1) XS Power S3400, (2) XS Power D5100 supercapicitor modules, lots of Sky High 1/0 head unit : Pioneer 8100NEX DSP : Alpine H800 front stage amp : (2) NVX JAD800.4 sub amp : Taramps HD15000 front stage : Alpine DLX-F30T, Scanspeak 10M silver series, Fi Audio N7 subs: (2) Fi Audio BTL 15"

So last January I got the new 2014 fusion SE almost all loaded out. I'm doing an audio upgrade but started this week since it's been so damn cold out. It'll consist of: 2 15" DSS Ethos DD m3b Sundown SA6.5 comps (passive) Incriminator IA 3.4 Stock alt (I think 140) Die Hard Platinum G31 2/0 welding supply wire Stock H/U with LC2i I will upload pics later tonight if I get time. I'm finishing the box now. Just putting some extra bracing in then top goes on. Box is 6.5 cubes tuned to 31hz with 2 6" PVC pipes. I know it's not the best but it should do just fine.

Vehicle: 2002 Yukon XL Rims: 24" Milanni Voodoo's HU: Pioneer Double Din Amp: DC 3500 Subwoofers: (2)18" DC Level 4's This is my new build log and I will be updating it as I go. This will be incomplete until I catch up with photos. Be patient with me. I am getting my truck painted, upgraded, and of course my sound setup. Plus using my phone to get link codes from photobucket and working 12 hour shifts at the police department takes a lot of time. Stay tuned. Purchased the Truck on June 28, 2014. The truck as it was stock. This was the original hood, but I never took any photos of that side of the truck when that hood was on there. A week later I got a set of M…

Well the time has come for me to change it up a bit. I ran the setup for a couple of years and really enjoyed it. It got loud and low.:nod: But all good things must come to an end. So it was time for some destruction! Things are slow as I have to work around wacthing my son but it is coming along. Now on to the pics......Before the carniage! That's the old.

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 build wont be nearly as impressive as many of the other members, and will slowly take place over time but figured I'd post anyways so I can gain criticism, and possibly help others. Ill start off with some pics my jeep, and my old system. 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo roughly 134,000 miles on it Bought it in October with around 132,000 Old RE 10" Subs (Blew them) Current Deck Corner of boxes, From old system

So I figured I'd start the build log for this car, Its gonna be a little slow to begin as the first big step for the install is going to be a pain in the ass. For those that were looking forward to the bronco build, and wondered what happened to that.. well the truck was wrecked, and the body work that is needed to be done is now quite extensive. So the work on that will be to bring it back to its original beauty before any audio work is done. The car is an 2013 all wheel drive Chrysler 300 with pearlescent white paint. (uploading picture atm) Already has the Team SSA sticker on the back window (uploading picture atm) My current temporary plans for the audio ar…
