Build Logs

This one is several months old, but I will paste it over here. Did a mold of the lower door and will build off that.

Ok, I'm starting my new build pretty soon, probably when the next cold front comes through. But since I took everything out to measure, I needed some low end filler while I'm getting ready to start building, and until im finished...Best temp system ever. lol Tried facing them back in the back, but they kept sliding off of the little ledge and scaring the shit outa me when I would brake. What a mess. This whole setup aside form the box will be going in my gf's car around when I start my build. We're gonna use the leftover wood from my build to build a 4th order for her. She just wants a little bass till we can get some more money for some better equipment for her. It …

Hello, I haven't logged into this site in probably 6 years. Hello again. At any rate I recently acquired a new to me vehicle, a 2004.5 Chevy Silverado 2500HD Duramax. I haven't had any interest in car audio for a long time but I bought this truck and it has some odd Kenwood head unit and factory speakers which sound really bad, even by factory speaker standards. I planned on just getting a pair of speakers for the doors and calling it a day, while shopping I got the idea to do some other stuff with things I found in my garage. It won't be anything fancy but it will do the trick hopefully. I also don't want to spend very much money. The truck came with a …

well as of right now i am goin to have 1 18in mj18 in my car in 3.3 sealed on a hifonics giving it 400 watts, in the front doors ill have to mach5 6 1/2's with stock tweets on the dash and stock speakers in the bac\k. i got the box for the 18 done today and the 6 1/2's ready to be mounted in the doors. will hopefully get a beauty panel to cover the box up in the back to clean up the look.here are some pics from today. ill probably upgrade the rear 6 1/2's to the mach5's down the road when i get some money.

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.

alright this is will be my first build that i have done. i have probably been off and on this site for the past year wanting to get a sub to go with the rest of my system but sadly parents said no. finally got a "yeah its your money do what u want with it" and have finally started to get everything sorted out. first off stats 1991 mustang vert ( 4cyl) kenwood h.u infinity coaxials all round (dash 3.5, door 5 1/4, and back 6x8s) nothing is amplified other than from h.u i have contacted porkchop for some guidance on the box , because it is not going in the shoe box of a trunk it is going in the back seat. the sub will be a ssa dcon 12 in a sealed box running off a re audio …

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 …

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…

So here I am again, with my slow build. So what i have right now? Headunit: Blaupunkt mp52 - It's quite oldschool but does it work. Has a lot of settings and also 2x Aux in, 2x RCA outputs. Was used and got this with 35eur. In front dash i have Pioneer highs and in doors Pioneer 6,5" Mids. Running straight from HU at the moment. Total cost 45eur. On back i have Pioneer 5.1" Coaxial speakers, running straight from HU, Price 25eur. Riht now I am running old Kenwood 12" woofer from Toxic XT-1600 amp. Woofer 20eur, Amp 60eur. So this is budget build right now. I dont have pic from everything riht now. I will probably keep everything beside woofer. Maybe get Alpine T…

So The Other Day I Made A Box For My Homeboy And It Was somewhat of a custom box cuz it was for 4 10''s Not Something You Could Jus Go Out And Pick Up At The Local Flemarket. Here Are some pics....

Just a little build log of what I have done so far, with crappy cell phone pictures. The Truck Making holes to run the wire. Installed grommets for two runs of 1/0, one positive and one negative. Mocked up false floor. Wrapped up and wired up distro blocks. Wired up the stereo Wired up and mounted the amp. finished as it sits now. Still have some ideas to remount the amp/amps. When it gets warmer out Ill be laying down some fiberglass for kickpods and working on mounting tweeters somewhere.
