Build Logs

Hey guys.... Been a while since I have been here. Glad to be back. My progress has been slow due to work and procrastination ( and a little too much reading ). I will post more pics up as I have made more progress than my Flikr account shows. I will be starting work on the A-Pillars and Center channel shortly. Kronos and Leviathan have been installed and I absolutely love them. Any questions just shoot me a pm. http://www.flickr.com/photos/49617895@N02/

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 so i currently have the rl-p in 3 cubes sealed. sounds sweet, just not that great of lows and just a tad under how much output i wish to have. i am currently writing up 2 box plans 1 of which i will choose and build tomorrow. they are as follows. 4 cubes at 30hz with 55.5 square inched of port area 3.5 cubes at 28.5hz with 40 square inches of port area. see any problems with the designs or favor one over the other? opinions? this build is in a hatch and it will be sub up port back. double baffled and 45's at the all corners if i can help it (limited tools here) also if interested, to see what im dealing with, check out my gallery for unfinished pics of the curren…

Well decided to take my stuff out of my 09 Ford Escape and see how it sounds in my s10 for a couple of weeks. I Know the battery needs moved and its unsafe on top of the box but this was just a throw in setup to see how it sounds. It will be secured down tomorrow. The truck is only used to pull my kubota bx25 from job to job so it doesn't get used every day but have to have some kinda tunes. The only thing that i don't like is the subs are quad 1ohm coils but they read 1.2ohms and the final ohm load is 2.9-2.6ohms depending on the mm i used. So with out another battery and a bigger alternator they arn't getting all the amp has to offer but it does get LOUD System includ…

Some more of the build can be found in the AA forum.

So for my enclosure I want something girly:) Such as gucci or louis vuitton.So does anyone got any ideas on this or any similar enclosures.(I wanna be original)

Ok.. im in need of some help... What is the best design for these subs... box or wall.. Will be in a 98 suburban.... im not going to build it myself so the specs can be included so i can share with the builder.... Thanks again

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.

Alright so i'm going to buy an 18" fi bl before summer, but i want the plans for the setup before i buy. My box is 31"H 35"W and only 17"H, and will have a 3" port going along the 31"H, tuned to ~30hz. The sub will be on the same side of the box as the port, is that a problem? The only thing i could think of is that, im taking up 2 seats in my quad cab dodge ram for this, and because of the seat it will be set at an angle. Will the sub perform right, and what should i do, if anything, to my box since it will have the strain of an 18" sub on it. The only way i could get around this would be if i put it in the bottom corner opposite the port.. how does where i put the sub …
