Build Logs

I have now havoc 15" in 3CF sealed box running on saz1500d. I have 2001 626 mazda. Can someone please help me to build the loudest box for my system ?

Huge thanks to Jacob @ Sundown for hooking me up with a combo of amps that does more than I could ask for!! Thanks to Pipo and Scott for doing the custom Ascendant Dust caps for me. Thanks to Aaron for building the box for me. Thanks to Travis and Tony for helping out with putting the car together. Best team mates in the world.....by far!!!! Things left to do: Buy batteries. The stock one isn't going to last much longer. Build trim panels for the front and rear of the box. Permanently mount box. Clean up wires. Deaden doors. Sealed back eminence 8's in rear deck add another Sundown 125.2 Equipment List: Source - Alpine IDA-X305 Changer - Alpine CHA-S624 Door Speakers…

Hi guys I’m back to show you a few pics of my install. Focal es100k in front doors Focal subs under the front seats Soon to be replaced by a pair of midbass. Audison AP 8.9 bit : hard to set up but easy to install in this car. 2 Demons 10” in a 2.6 ft3 ported box. non an Ampere Audio 1200.

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…

Well, we finally started the install. Here are the HUGE pics. I was too tired to resize them. http://www.carstereos.org/gallery/browseimages.php?c=196 I will update sometime tonight with more of whatever progress we make.

Hello everybody. Some of you on here know what my system consists of, but this is for the rest of the fellas. I have a 2007 Kia Sportage with 2 12" American Bass VFL Extreme DVC 2 ohm 1500 watt rms subs powered by 2 American Bass VFL-100.1 Amplifiers. My head unit is a JVC KD AR880 CD Receiver. I have a custom bult subwoofer enclosure built buy Derrick Haddock. My electrical consist of American Bass 0 gauge power and ground cable, G34 yellow top and Excide 35 amp hour gel-cell battery and unfortunately a stock 120 amp alternator with Big 3 completed. My mids and highs are still factory. This is my second enclosure in this suv. My First was a PWK Designs Compound Loading B…

What is the best way to fix rattles in my vehicle. I have a Tahoe and pushing 1100W over 2 12" IA's ,rattle problems are in door panels and mostly headliner(specifically the temp. control unit in rear headliner) Anyone w/ a Tahoe that knows exactly what I'm talking about please respond.

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 …

This is a build I am doing for a buddy of mine. The build consists of: 2 DC Level 4 12s 1 Crescendo BC2000D Knu Konceptz wiring for everything 2 XS D1200 batteries Kenwood eXcelon DNX9990HD Stay tuned for more... And feel free to comment

So I picked up a 2011 Jeep just over 2 weeks ago and I am starting my build, its going to be a long time before all is said and done but ill be slowly accumulating the pieces over the next 2-3 months. I had a box designed and I am almost done building it. Its 5.5 cu. ft. tuned to 32 hz and my truck If anybody can help me i dont know how to rotate this pic^ Im planning on 2 12" ZCONs D1 fully loaded on a BC5500 Im thinking about what to do for the front end, I'm probably going to keep my stock head unit and go active with a 3sixty, MiniDSP, or a Bit Ten D. and Ive been looking at PWX 6.5s to replace my stock 6 x 9s but im open to any other opti…

Well i built a fiberglass box for my truck a few months ago back when i was in high school still, and it did pretty good on the meter (140.0) but i wanted to go a little louder without having to change setups completely. I decided to build a box to go where my center console was. The box itself is 1.9 cubes tuned to 33 hz (made for my new Fi Bl 12 coming in), but i decided to put in the DP for the time being. There was a noticeable difference in the sound and loudness of this box over my other one, but this one will only be used for competitions, or when i don't need a center seat (can't put the GF beside ya when this is in. haha) So i went and got it metered yesterday. S…

:fing34:Ill just start it off w/ this for now. This is about a year ago and I have done many changes since then. I have a ton of pics so ill get them up ASAP whenever I can. I guess in the mean time check out typicaljawaiian808 on YouTube if you wish Pioneer 3100 2 din DVD Amp JL 1000/1 Sub 15" Fi BL fully loaded My Electrical................What a joke (stock alt btw)

This is going to be a little slow, as money isn't something I have a lot. But, it will be finished in time. Also, this is my first build, so any input, whether it be negative or positive, is appreciated What I have so far: -18" Fi SSD d2 w/ copper coil -Box for SSD -Pioneer DEH-2100IB What I need to buy: -SA SAZ-1000D -Still have yet to decide on fronts -Kolossus Flex 0 Gauge Power Amp Kit -40 CLD tiles and 1-2 sheets CCF I really haven't accomplished much so far. I have had the sub and a box built for the sub for months now, and it has just been playing in my room. Now that I finally have a car that I can put it in, the build starts. My front driver side speaker w…

well my brother had a bright idea that he wanted 8's in his doors for mid bass....i have one door ready for paint and still have to start the other since he drives that car daily....here are some pics of what i have gotten done and will post more up as i progress with the build.....

Thought you guys might like to see a build we are finishing...you may have seen it on another forum...This isn't exactly going to be a full build log, mostly just pics of it as things get finished. This is my buddy's van, we have been building it at his house the last few months. What we have been trying to accomplish is an "old-school" type build, full install, LOW LOW extension, move a bunch of air, and do decent SPL (definitely not our main goal). I worked at a shop in Akron, Ohio in the 90's doing mostly big installs, and competed some myself. He used to compete in consumer classes in USAC back then too. (Both of us had world records in the 90's)...on to the pics... T…

Steve is a close friend of Big Dave and I guess they competed together years ago. While Big Dave likes to do things well, big, Steve is a bit more conservative which I can certainly appreciate. Here are some shots of Steve's build. Since taking these pics, Steve has added a second IXL-10, and is now talking about adding a third in order to enter a competition local to him (Ontario).

Well, after all the trouble to get this setup finished. I finally have gotten some thing put together and some in progress. My FG box is being put together by Bart Etter(owner of BetterAudio if you remember them), whom I'd like to thank for his hard work. Well here's some progression pics of the box build. He does a good job My speakers. THe Mpyres are installed in the doors currently. That's MpyreAudio, Adire Koda, and RE XXX in that order shown. My car ghetto rig til box comes in My Clarion DRZ9255 already installed Well, I'll update this as things progress.

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.

Alrighty...I think I've got enough goodies to show off now. It's not at all close to being finished though but it is what it is. With that said, here we go!

Well after having my wife TELL me to go play in the garage and put in my other amp in my truck (a 2000 GMC Sierra Z71 ext cab) before it gets to cold, I did it and I'm so pleased w/the sound and looks.
