Build Logs

This may be a build log so no sense making multible threads. I am itching to do something different and go bigger. For those that dont know, I currently have a 15in Q on a SAZ1500v.2 in a box I designed and built that is a rear center console in my truck. It hammers the lows and the output is simply amazing for only one 15 here is my truck Here is the current full list Power and wiring Big 3 done and all 1/0 KNU OFC 2 Optima Red tops, gonna add a 3rd *Monster Cable... Slim battery terminals Stock alt (for now if it holds voltage up) *Tsunami main fuse holder up front and distribution fuse box for back. *Kicker ground block *KNU 10 gauge speaker wire for sub, 16 gauge for…

I just picked up a 2003 Lincoln Town Car two days ago. Yesterday I put the head unit and active crossover in, today I should be running the camera wire and sub rca's to the trunk. I'll update with some pics later. I planned and purchased everything for an install in my 96 Eldorado, but it never happened. Now the Eldorado is the wife's car and the system will be going in the Town Car. I have a Ported box for 2 SA10's that I'll throw in for now, but I'd like to fit something up on the hump under the rear deck and do a false floor in the deep well in the middle of the trunk for my extra battery and amps. I'm really debating swapping out the 2 sa10's for 3 or 4 8's in a porte…

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

Stay tuned this will be one for the record books! :popcorn: :drink40:

Most likely a Buick Rendezevous... like last year, I'll set out tomorrow and may have one by the end of the day... but last time I ended up with an Aztek... we will see how it goes this time. I currently have 4 Adire Audio Extremis 6.4's, 2 CSS FR125S's, and 2 Vifa XT25TG30 ring radiators. I have a Kicker KX850.4 with a bad crossover on 1 channel for the 6.4's, a KX350.4 to be bridged 8ohm on the 4" full rangers, and a KX200.2 thats blown for the tweets. I can send the amps in to Kicker for repair, but I might just buy all new ZX series..IDK yet. I'll be getting some SHURiKEN SK-BT80 batteries from SicAudio, a HO alt, and proably some audiopipe ap3000d's... Alpine W200 w/…

Well I want my back seat again so Im doing a blow through. I have a bagged 95 ext cab chevy. My sub is an 18" BTL and my amp is a Kicker KX2500.1. I have dual optimas and 0 gauge wire. Batteries and amp will be hidden under the rear seat. Heres what im starting with Box Design(I put the sub on the other side How the front will look The truck Now I wanted to sound deaden it really bad (RaaMat) since everything is torn out, but it wasnt in the funds($400 for the kit)..I have some stuff that I will throw on the back wall to reienforce it and next spring Ill get it done.

Okay, we were finally able to get the vehicle that will be replacing the van as our daily driver. I found a nice 2010 Traverse AWD with everything the wife wanted in it and a little more with decent miles on it and I even got a decent deal on it. Now, the wife realized before we even got serious about shopping for one that we should probably tone down the size of the install in the new vehicle. While she was/is still wanting some good sounding speakers and some bump going to the the size and extent of the build in the van was more than we need for this one. One of the biggest reasons for that was simply because of the damage the Q's caused the van. Before I installed…

2006 Civic 2 SSA Zcon 15" Crescendo BC5500 Crescendo C1100.4 DC Power 270Xp 2 Crescendo pwx 6.5 Crescendo 6.5 CZ Series component set clarion eqs746 I finally got everything I needed for my new build. Since I've started, nothing has went as planned but here is my progress so far.

Its come time to upgrade and really get serious. Ive made a long of progression to this point but its time to go big once and for all. This will be a slower build as money is an issue till tax time. Ive already got my box design from RAM which was an awesome guy to deal with and a quick turn around in all manners. I will also be making door pods for multiple sets of components our a 3 way setup. Current equipment that will get carried over to the new build. 2 - Sundown SAZ-3000D Sundown SAX-50.4 Sundown SAX-100.2 DC power XP250 4 - Lifeline AGMs 50ah 75ft 1/0 Equipment still needed. 12 - SA-12s Copper buss bars 3 or 4 100ah+ agms (to come way later on) Ill at least …

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.

Yep, nothing fancy, no rims, no lowering or lift kit, no fancy exhaust. But I kept the truck exceptionally clean for one that is nearly 10 years old. Well, it's may 23rd and I have purchased over 60% of the current future setup components which currently stand at: HU: Kenwood eXcelon KDC-X891 - *Bought* (Kick-Panel)Front Stage: Rainbow SLC 6.5" Components (Doors)Front Stage: RainbowSLC 5"x7" Components Front Stage Amp: Profile AP1000 2-Ch Amp - *Bought* Sub Stage: 15" DVC 2-Ohm Fi Q - *Bought* Sub Stage Amp: Brutus Bxi1606d Class D Mono Amp - *Bought* Enclosure: 3.35ft^3 @ 34hz - *Bought* Deadening: RAAMAT BXT/Ensolite Wiring/Dis.

I finally finished (yeah, right!) the system in my 2002 Toyota 4Runner. I couldn't have done it without everyone's help here on the SSA forums, particularly denim, SSaudio, SoundSplinter, mrray13, and probably others that I'm forgetting (sorry!). Anyways, enough with the chatter. Enjoy your build log pr0n! I originally saw this design and thought it would be a nice fit for my daily SQ system. After reading that mrray13 achieved good results, it was a no-brainer to move forward with this instead of the typical sealed, since I have the room for it. Here I'm dry-fitting the first cuts for the TL box. Cutting out the front panel. Proof that this really is the TL box…

It starts tonight.

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"

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…
