Build Logs

well my little $50 project came in the mail today, it's nothing special but i took pictures anyways. had to test it out somehow so i unhooked my sub and gave it a whirl on the 1500d.

Didn't find a category for this but it is somewhat a build log and there are no guidelines that say it has to be about car audio. So, I took a break from messing with the Camry for about 1 week or so.... This is what kept my time...Let me know what you guys think... This was the original desk, second-hand but looks like it was maybe from Kmart or Staples... Notice the bow in the center? The desk was perfect for about 1.5yrs and I'm assuming the "compressed wood" could not handle the weight of my desk mount arm for my 24" monitor: Items bought at Home Depot: Transformation: Everything set up again:

tell me what you think for a quick box

I have posted a few times for direction and info and such and figured I would make a build log just to keep up wih whats going on with the car. Right now the car is more performance than audio but Im soon to even it out haha Right now I am running 2 Kappa VDQ12s off a Punch Power 500a2 (black and grind) My projected plans so far consist of: 3 SA8 1 SAX1000D As of right now I havent set in stone what Im going to run for highs nor what deck I will use. The Head unit I have now is a nice older kenwood but I think I may step it up to something newer. Here are a couple pics of the car and my start to the system: The car: The start of the madness: Just the template so far fo…

I was goin to go with 2 18" or 2 15" nightshades. But I decided 6 sa 10s would be better.. but idk if i have the room.. i measured my cargo area in my cargo area in my 00 jeep GC. length= close to 52". Width= close to 29". height= i measured 17" but i could go a few inches higher. any sugg from yall?!

OK guys,theres finally gonna be a show in my area so I decided I would try to throw something together real quick,as the show is on the 28th and I just got started.Heres what I had lying around:my HU is an older model Eclipse 54400,next in line is an AudioControl EQL feeding only the highs amp,an Orion HP4800,which runs bi-amped to a set of older MB Quart Reference x-overs.For mids I had a set of Boston Rally 6.5"s(I know theyre nothing like the Pros),for tweets the only thing I could find is a set of stock VW tweets I pulled out at the shop,not really as bad as I had expected though.For my low end I have the rear channels ran directly to an Orion HCCA D1200(again,NOTHING…

Well, looks like its time for me to start doing this rebuild instead of constantly talking about it. I know Steve will be happy, I dont have any pictures or have actually started it yet but Im about to pick up my Bravox Components and a spool of XP flex 0 gauge so thats the starting point. Heres a little outline of my current setup and what will be done after I rebuild. Current: 18" BTL N2 (5.5cuft box, 32hz tune) Infinity Reference Component Speakers American Bass VFL 100.1 Amplifier Phoenix Gold Titanium 500.4 Amplifier 4 gauge Wire Capacitor (fail) NEW: New ported box, 6.75 cuft, tuned to 32hz and w…

Finally got time to take pictures of my build its only 75% done I would say. I am still not satisfied with my midbass I am runing passive at the moment and I have sounddeadned and filled the kick panels with poly fiber fill. any suggestions are appreciated. rainbow slc365.25 with dd t2 tweeters (Plan on getting some cal26 tweets soon) ssa xcon 12" dual 2 ohm Lightning audio la-3000md I would say its giving it close to 1500 rms and soundstream stl4.500 for the highs (I plan on changing this amp asap) Dont mind the tape on the amp... Some pictures of my car

This is my little build log on my car. Equipment Pioneer 880prs Fusion PP-AM300010 Fusion PP-AM60020 Kicker 04ss65.2 components two runs of 1/0 hyperflex All kicker speaker wire I will be switching it up from a 10" Eclipse TI to a 15" 3hp if and when i decide i want to do that. Stripping the car New Engine Big 3 done Wires ran Trunk Lid with a few layers of Raamat. I do plan on adding more of it and some Spectrum Sludge Car Interior going back in

I recently did a Cadillac Escalade ESV for a buddy of mine with (2) Fi BL 18's with the flatwound coil and cooling option. Built the box to 14.63 cubic feet with the port tuned to 33 hertz. Wrapped it in vinyl to match the interior of the vehicle and did a big "Fi" logo on the back of the box (notice the logo is an "innie", not an "outie".The amp, for now, is a Hifonics BXI2010D that puts out 1752 watts RMS. I will be swapped with a Rockford Fosgate T40001bd eventually. Built to be a daily driver. Here it is: Sounds great. Real nice quality and it really hits the lows nice, but it just isn't near as loud as it could be with the right amount of power goin…

Hello Guys Michael is my name I'm new here and, last month I bought a black 2001 VW Golf 4, 1.9Tdi, 116hp, 6 speed, AJM, 129 000 miles, As an option: climate control, board computer, sports seats, leather steering wheel, armrest, electric windows, abs, esp, asr, oem spoiler etc. I put the original 17' GTI wheels Santa Monica.

So lets see how this goes. Dont have it all done now but more will be installed as time goes by and money comes into hand. 15" Mayhem with D1 gaps. AQ2200D Box in the first and second stage. Alpine CDA-9886(looked to cool like this to post a pic with the flash on) Im actually considering going back to my Panasonic CQ-7303U for the extra settings and motorized faceplate.

I figured I would go ahead and start a build log to keep track of my progress. My current vehicle is a 1994 GMC Jimmy 4 door 4wd. I haven't had a system in any of my vehicles in a very long time, and for some reason i got the itch. So, this build began. The Truck: First, I built this box to put in it, 4 ft^3 tuned to 33Hz (Thanks to Duane on this forum for the design): I hadn't used a jig saw in quite some time and was a bit rusty, so the speaker cutouts were too big and they were leaking. I was going to replace the top panel and redo the cuts, but before I could do that I had someone stop by the shop and offer me some cash for the box so I sold it before i was able…

here is the wall build

Just one pic to get it started. I'll get some more up tomorrow. Meant to say SA 12's!!!!

This build has been a long time in the making, it’s had a lot of setbacks but now that things are finally getting interesting I figured I’d make a build log.

BHE is shipping enclosures as well as getting locals louder than ever Here are some pics

So it finally got delivered last night at around 1030 pm from Rutland VT. I have always dreamed of owning a muscle era car, and decided that this year instead of building a computer or blowing my money elsewhere, that I would look for a project car with my tax return. After several weeks of looking, this is what I have found. The car is home, and after adding some gas it started right up. The stainless steel brake lines I ordered for the car have arrived, and after a short test drive today, I found out that it has either an oil or cooling system problem, and an evident misfire. That being said, this is a long term project that I hope to keep you guys in the l…

Hey guys, I did this over the summer and never uploaded it, just figured I would share... Me with it...

yup another project haha

Hi guys, here are a few pictures of my install. I changed some wires, changed the fused distribution block. I put a 150 A ANL fuse for the saz 1500. The install is not too clean, but it is not for shows, only for my listening pleasure ! How it was before : and now : Sorry for the poor quality of the pics, I only used my blackberry bold !

Just about finished it all up today, got a few more things to touch up but for the most part it is done. First off thanks to Matt at MCOR for giving me a hell of a deal and JL for coming through in the clutch and sending me a free t-shirt! The goal of the install was to get much improved sound while keeping it stealthy. I choose to go with JL Audio C5-650 Components powered off a Sundown 100.2 still with the factory head unit. The mids were placed into the stock locations, with baffles made onto the 6x9 brackets and the tweets placed into the kicks. Just about all the wires were techflexed, heatshrunk, and labeled for cleaniness and ease of install. The amplifier and…

This was an interesting design for this guy. Design calls for 2 boxes. One specifically for daily driving music and another for straight competition. The designs are for an SUV. Setup- 4 Sundown SA-8s off of 2 Sundown SAE-1200ds Daily Driver- 3.6cuft tuned to ~31hz Now for the almighty SPL box. A true spl box is one that can be continuously modified until maximum output is found. This doesn't just mean port length tuning but firing direction too! The following box design is an interchangeable baffle. Yep, you read that right, interchangeable baffle with 4 position port firing locations capable PLUS the capability of fine tuning this box from 32.5Hz - 62Hz. Please Note, T…
