    So, I guess I should finally put this on here. First things first, my car was a theft recovery I picked up from my dad's work (he works for a local body shop) for $450. It's a 2004 Ford Focus SE 2.3l dark blue. I don't really know why but I don't have a pic of the car? Anyway, what do you do with a focus with 200,000 mi? Make it run of course... Lol needed a fuel pump. Sitting for almost a year and it seized, oh well. After that you do this... 12" Fi bl on a Sundown 1500 v3. I then got rid of the factory speakers and installed some Alpine 5x7" in all four doors on a Hertz HCP4 After getting further into this site, I realized rears were unnecessary and swapped the Alpin…

    I am starting a new kefed enclosure for two Pioneer ts-w3002d4 subs. I am a little unsure of how to calculate the volume of the kerfed or flared port. I have two designs so far but I am unsure of which will be the best.

    He wanted to get this stuff installed rather quickly..so 3.5 hours later and this is what we got.... This was installed in a 2002 Escalade 2 DD 9515s DD M4A Batcap 4000 There is more product going into this truck..this is a temp setup to get some low-end in the truck for a while. Vinyl matched to the truck with dual Kerf port. Batcap 4000 and a "quick" wire job to get him up and running for a few days until he gets the rest of the product he needs.

    It's been a busy couple of weeks so i haven't really been on much. I spent a lot of time working with a good friend on his FJ Cruiser install. This is the second "epic" install that he's done in the car, the first being scrapped for the additional weight it added and impracticality. The old setup weighed probably at least double what the new setup does, and the new system is much better sounding overall imo, so it was all gain and no real sacrifice. Originally the setup consisted of the following: Alpine IVA-W200 Alpine PXA-H701 Boston Acoustics Pro 60's in the front, Pro 50's in the rear 2x PG Xenon 1200.1;s PG Xenon 200.4 2x RE XXX12 (05 XBL2's) sealed Lots of deadener …

    Well my initial build at the moment is relatively complete, but of course I have future plans. Therefore Ill just post some pictures and you can comment and ask questions about the build if you wish. Ill add more pictures when I get back home, next week. Im thinking of doing fiberglass doors with an 8" mid, 6.5" mid, and a supertweet. Then add two more dcons, maybe ported maybe sealed, not sure.. If that doesnt do it for me, Im thinking SSA Icon 18s.

    Hi. I plan on starting a build very soon. It will go in an '06 Jeep Liberty. I plan on revamping the whole stereo. Since this is my first system, I have been researching different products now for about 4-5 months, so I already have a general idea of what i want. I don't plan on doing install myself because i don't trust myself enough, and I really want to do this right. There are a couple good car audio shops in my area that i trust for installation. I listen to primarily rap and music with heavy bass. I have a budget of around 2,500$. A. Headunits A new headunit will be the first thing that i buy. I have researched this a lot and i think i have finally narrowed it down…

    Wished I had taken pics of during the construction of the box, but I didn't have my camera on hand. But it's your plain sealed box. Internal volume of .75 cu ft net. Hertz called for an insanely small .57 cubes sealed, but I was afraid the bottom octaves won't be as pronounced. So I ended up going with .75 cu ft. First some pics of the new sub for those who haven't seen it in my other thread. It's a Hertz Audio Hi-Energy 12. pretty nice and simple cone with the Hertz logo on the dustcap. bright ass orange magnet rubber boot. It's pretty simple looking....no huge surround or massive motor structure. This thing is tiny compared to my Brahma MKI 12. Flush mounted.…
