Build Logs

The dude wanted something different, doesnt care anything about sq really, and definately doesnt care much about spl. He just wanted it to be loud and look good doing it. Hes going to be running an orion 2500d. We hooked it up to mine tonight just after we got done and are going to have to use alot of althread, this thing flexx's like a mother. But it did turn out looking good! Just for you guys info, its an 18"

Picked up another Orphan 8" from Mike a couple weeks ago. These things are badass. Here is the box. & the port & to fully understand the design, Box is .91cuft tuned to 30hz, and so far I think it really likes this box. Just finished it tonight so I didnt get to really crank it up (wife yelled at me for shaking the house at 11pm ) but it has a great sound to it. I will post a vid when I get a chance.

whats up guys... just posting up the start of my box build.. the detentions are 15 x 30 x 30 6 inch slot port around 6.35 cubic ft before port around 4.5 after. the driver is going to be a re audio xxx 12 not sure the model though heres some pics not done yet still need to run sub wire and cut the speaker hole let me know what you think

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…

Throwin a lil somethin to bump to in the minivan I just bought for my girl. Setup will consist of: Clarion CZ401 USB H/U 1 Pair Skar Audio VXI65 Components 2 Skar Audio MA-8D4's Audiopipe APSM-1500 VXI's will be ran off the H/U for now along with the stock rear 6x9's. Eventually will be powered by an APSM-2125 to match the sub amp. Anyways, here's what I have so far:

Ok, Been gone from the site for a while but havent forgotten about u guys. Been in my lil shop doing some work for the past few weeks This is what my setup will be and is becoming. Ive already posted this stuff on another site. So if u see me talking in between saying "yea I did this one day".....dont pay it any mind cause Im being lazy right now and copying the posts from edit then pasting them here. some of these pics are a few weeks old. 1997 Thunderbird LX 4.6L V8 1* PWK Design and PWK enclosure build (active 3way front stage) 4* Kenwood 0.75" tweets 4* Dayton 4" full range (front bandpass) 4* Mach5 MLI-65 6.5" midbasses 2* Fully Loaded BTL 12s (old 3magnet versions) …

Well i used to have a 90 TSi Talon AWD which i traded for this 94 Civic to do a nice lil trunk build for USACi new trunk class. But im doing this one the right way, itll have everythinggggg replaced on it by the time im done with it, started a lil dismantle last Sat. Plans: Alpine 9835(Have) Sundown 100.4(Have) Vifa tweets(Need) AA polys or ID OEMs(Have) 4 Stinger SPV70(Have) 2 12s(Not sure on what ones yet) or 4 10 Type Rs 2 Sundown 2000s(Maybe more or 3500s) Andddddd.....THE CIVIC: Yessss......BLUEEEEE EVERYWHEREEEE:

well, to be honest, i just got finished looking through some of the build logs on here. and i can honestly say that, im a little disappointed in my build. this is really my first time doing everything w/o the help of my dad. hes not really around anymore, so i decided to try and tackle this by myself. ive caught alot of crap about how the box looks w/ fiberglass. i thought it was air bubbles at first to. but i didnt let the fleece harden completely, so it started sagging when the glass was kicking off. so its 100% air void free. i even sanded some down to make sure. i have 2 memphis mojo 10s going in it. i was going to run soundstream tarantula trx1500ds for it, but i dec…

Right of the bat I can tell you this will take a while since its been going on for a while. The wife already said no so now it has to happen. The couch is ready and the fridge is full. Here is a teaser pic. More to follow soon. Belly of the beast

Whats up everybody. I'm kinda new to box building and I need help a little bit. I am going to be building a box for my 2 18" Fi Bl's. The box is going to be 26" High x 36" Width x 35" Depth at 16 cubic feet. Can someone help with the slot port size or measurements Thanks!

I have a 1993 Chevrolet Camaro that a customer wanted to put a little bump in... Install includes: Pioneer DEH-X7500S Sundown SA-8 v1.5 Old Rockford Fosgate 300w mono Box by me Soon to come some door speakers... Now here's some pics...

This is going in a full size Chevy pickup. Nothing big just a little something to listen to. Sub is going in 1 cub sealed and the MLI are going in the front doors. We will be adding tweeters in time. Currently these are the only pieces I have. 1 AA Arsenal 12 and 2 MIL 6.5's. Enjoy the pics.

start of box... if your wondering i git the dimensions fron dd's wedsite under compact 15" box.

I've had some equipment laying around for over 2 years, and my wife wants a little bit of bass. I figure I may as well make the most of what I have, which chances are will be more than she'll ever use anyway. Her car: Chevy Malibu Equipment: Alpine 9885 Alpine Type-X 12 D4 Hifonics 2006d Enclosure: ~1.5ft net tuned to 36hz with 24sqin of port. She wants a little bass, and plenty of room to put groceries. Also no wires or equipment hanging out like most drop in installs. This is really temporary until she gets a new car some time this year. The equipment: Of course I had to draw up some plans and it starts at the kitchen table: A MS Paint drawing of what I'm going for…

Eh i thought i might as well post up my crappy work so far. I am by no means the kind of person that tries to make shit look good from start to finish. As long as it looks great at finish, functions properly, and is pretty well built then i'm ok with it This is going in a 2004 Silverado ECSB. Total vol. will be est. @ 5.2. I'm going to tune lower than i want @ 31hz and expect it to be more at 33-34hz just because that always seems like what happens and that's where i prefer it anyway. Yes that is 1/2" mdf. I had a whole sheet sitting in the shop so i'm going to use that and fiberglass over it so it'll be closer to 3/4. The subs are mounted up and port facing forward wit…

This is about 2-3 weeks pre build. But I finally got pics so there gettin posted. when the build begins ill just add to this thread. here is what ive got my hands on so far... all Knukonceptz wire.. 8gauge,4 gauge and 1/0, rca's, fuses, remote, all connectors 220A Alternator This is the only thing i bought used in the entire build so far. has a small scratch on the front, but powers up and sounds good, price was un beatable so i had to get it one more kinetik and some deadener and this all gets put into the vehicle..i would have a picture of the tahoe but it looks like shit right now, maybe another day

I have read so many other build logs on here I figured I would contribute by showing how my first build turned out. What Ford deemed adequate for my focus I deemed a bit weak. My old 8" from Ford My new Fi q12 d2 and my audioque 1200d Positive side 1/0 welding cable The 150 amp fuse My rear ground also in 1/0 My box which upon further research my port is too small on My ghetto temporary amp rack Good thing I need to redo the box anyways as I blew out a corner somehow I am not quite sure what I am going to do next to replace this. I am unimpressed with my current output. I don't know if it is from my improperly designed and created box or just that this SQ woof…

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:

Okay so obvs this is NOT car audio build log, and i couldn't decide if this belongs in the Off Topic or what so fuck it Most people don't know how it's done, a lot of people ask me.. but it's to complicated to explain in a small conversation. So.. what's better then a build log? This is mainly for my SSA brothers and sisters to kill some time This is going to be a Soccer Field in Scottsdale, AZ It's 14 thousand square feet. This was originally an Inline Hockey Rink, but in AZ Soccer is SO much more popular.

I have had a build log on **** for awhile and I figured I would share some info on the build here. Truck is a 2004 Dodge ram 1500 single cab with a 2/7 drop on 22" black and machined US 55's. Sub stage is 1 Atomic APXX 1078 15" on a DDM4 wire at .7, Toolmaker dual inputs. The enclosure is 5.5 cubes net sub forward custom Psychoacoustics oval aero out the side. XS d3100's under the hood, all toolmaker terminals, 8 runs of SHOK 1/0. 4+,4-. The best score to date for the truck in MECA is a 151.3 @30hz at the headrest. What is everyone's opinion on this build? I will post pics when I get home.

aight so if u havent seen my thread on the other forums ill be happy to share here. 1987 Astro 12 15" mojos (new model) 8 Mojo 4kws (new model) 2 Memphis 125x4's (old and new model) Memphis mids and highs well pics.

If i have mark build my enclosure is it going to make a big difference on how it sounds in/out side of the car? My friend has a 10w7 and hes louder outside the car.. You can hear him anywhere. Will i be better off just having mark build my enclosure?

Specs - 22" tall 44" wide 22" deep Double baffled Subs and port facing rear. Make sure you install the box so when looking into your trunk, the port is on the right just how it is in the pic below. Port area - 20.5" x 5" = 102.5" Tuned to 33Hz @ 8.0 cubic ft NET after minor bracing shown below. Port is attached to back of second baffle. The port wall depth is 14.75" This allows a 5" wide opening from the end of the wall to the back wall of the box. This is important as you must keep the opening 5" wide. The bracing can be all thread(not the vertical runs obviously), or wooden dowels. Diameter really isn't too important, anywhere between 1-2" is fine. The bracing sh…
