Build Logs

Here are pics of "Moms Soccer Van" before it goes in for custom vinyl graphics. Rear windows have been blacked out and urethane sealed To prevent flexing. Passive crossovers flushed into the passenger side under seat drawer. Refer all questions to 02skidoo as I only assisted on the dampening and tweeter install and brainstorming. Brian did all the rest himself. All dampening is Rockford Fosgate Deadskin (1 layer roof and sidewalls) Alt is from Ohio Generator and 3 Kinetik's. Could use a couple more. Now all I need to do is talk the Owner into Sundown and others!

What’s up everyone. Picked up a pair when they were released. And finally got around to installing them.

Hi guys. Want to share with you some pictures of my car. This is my 2007 Mazda CX-7 that I'm building to compete in USACi SQ shows in Mexico and the USA. I'm part of Team Hybrids, the competition branch of Hybrid Audio Technologies founded by Scott Buwalda that sells some of the best speakers in the world. This is my CX-7. The Head Unit is an Alpine W205. The music travels to the back via a fiber optic cable and also via Ai-Net cable, where it's processed in an Alpine H701, and sent to five JL Audio amplifiers hidden under a false floor. Power distro blocks. The front stage is handled by a HAT Legatia L831-3 set. The L8's are on the doors, the L3's on the kick pa…

Ok so my cousin needed a new box so i made him one using the box calculator on the RE site and here it is... 3.25cubes tuned to 33hz here is the box in the truck forgot to take finishing pics and the amp pushing it Soundstream 1200.1 Stealth Xscorpion wiring

Ok new customer New truck will get pics of truck soon and well here are some pics gonna do more work tomorrow.....

From some kicker 10s in high school, its nice to now have the loudest bass at my college with a single subwoofer. Who needs back seats anyway? Incriminator Audio - Lethal Injection 15. Here was a video of me testing it when I got it all hooked up:

Here is the story behind the 75 buck truck. The tranny went out in the buick , and my mother in law mentioned a friend of hers had a truck that a junk man was scheduled to pick up for 75 bucks. Well i had every intention of paying 75 bucks and selling it to the scrap yard for 300-400. But when i got to the owners house , he said it runs , but its pouring water everywhere. A shop quoted him 1200 bucks for head gaskets. So i decided to crank it up and see what this truck was all about. Come to find out it only needed a freeze plug!!! So i shut my mouth and gave the owner his 75 bucks in exchange for the title. Now another "need to know" tidbit about this build is so far i h…

What subs should we use for 4th order BP? We want a LOW tune around 25Hz-30Hz. Plenty of airspace available, 2 20"x20" square ports. 2 18's. Run off either one or two AP30001Ds.

Getting ready to install all of my stuff. Pretty much have all that I need to get this almost complete. Just waiting on an In-Line Fuse for between the battery and amp. Also waiting on my H/U, a Pioneer AVH-P4200DVD, wiring harness, and dash kit. All of this is going in here: Starting off with these bad boys 2 Fi Audio SSD12s (thanks FI) in an Argent Audio Enclosure (thanks Andrew): Mounted: Powered by this (thanks SA): Started off by mounting a piece of wood to serve as my amp rack in the trunk: Then I mounted the amp: Going to paint the amp rack black when it stops raining out here in LA. This is as far as I got yesterday. More to come in the next week.

Starting the build on the new truck (new to me at least) my 01 GMC Yukon XL Denali I just bought--- last summer i did a 146.8 @ 40hz.. I think a 150 @ 40hz is definitely doable with one more sub and more power.. well hopefully the equipment. subs- either 2 18" Fi BTLs, 2 18" RE SXs, or 4 12" RE SXs Head unit - JVC Exad Double din (forgot the model number its not around me) Sub amp - Hifonics XX-Cyclops Interior amp(s) - right now just one Orion 8004, but i need to find another to buy Front Stage - 1 set RE XXX components 6.5" Rear fill - 2 set of RE RE Components 6.5" Processor - Precision power 1/2 din (art series) EQ unit Power - dual alt set up, 1 factory, 1 …

Let me first start by saying I have mad respect for walls or laying down seats you don't need for more room. But for me I like the challenge of keeping my room, always have. I have a wife and 4 kids that still ride with me in a daily basis. I've always liked it loud but you also got to be able to hear the words clearly. So with this build I wanted to compete, not to win just for fun, and keep all of my seating. I bought an American Bass XFL 15 when I had my van and still had my 12-15 year old Diamond Audio Amps. When I got the Durango I built a sub back port back box and fastened the amps to the back of the seat. It was basic clean looking even though I never finished the…

Not my "build log" but entertaining nonetheless http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5oSQcs8HgQ...feature=related

so im building a CNC machine capable of cutting full sheets of MDF, wood, plexi etc.. my goal is to be able to produce these for sale most cnc's that cut 4x8 sheets cost upwards of 100k and the backyard ones that you see aren't that accurate (over 1/16th inch accuracy) and still cost 4-7000 dollars, my goal is to get them build for under 2500 so anyways onto the build pics thats the render of the final product another render y and z axis

Ok the box was started today, but had to be started later in the afternoon because the installer/builders friend was in a car accident at 3 am yesterday so I told him to take his time and when he feels ready to start on his time. So this is the progress so far. I will be getting one more gallon of resin and order a roll of 19 oz glass mat for the bracing. I am going above the window line as you all can see. I will be triple baffling the face and doubling the MDF all the way around. This thing is a beast. With one baffle the height is about 24 inches, the width is 48 inches and the length is 52 inches. Big as hell I know. lol so get ready this box is about to be beastly. I…

Just a few starting pics on the new build. Please tell me what you all think. This is the future home of 2 bl 18's. I have 2 mtx 7801d's. 1 per sub for power right now until i can get bigger amps.

Hey all ! I'm only about ankle deep in my new build... lol... well, I actually was hoping to get some preliminary advice from you guys, especially in the area of box design. So I'm trying to explore my different options for trunk setup this time around. The 18" Nightshade is a fresh recone done by Steve built to handle 3k daily, with heavy duty spider & tinsel leads among other things... Here are some pics next to one of the old 15" Q's Closeup of the tinsel leads My goal is simply to be balls-to-the-wall loud, of course. Not for SPL competition, but strictly for music. I really liked how low the Q's got off 7 cubes so my key points in designing the trunk setup wi…

I guess it's time to post up the build log since I'm almost done with the wall. The build? 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser 12^3 wall tuned to 40Hz 2 RE MT 18" D1's 2 RD Audio D9's @5ohm each 1 DD C5b 4 Channel 5 Deka G31's Mike SInger 240amp alt To much 1/0 to talk about. Started by re-running ALL wire to behind where the wall will be. Ran the 1/0 out the side panel all fancy like. Started preparing for the wall. Then, it started. Got sides and baffle layers glued together and assembled. After all that, I silicone and braced it up. Got that handled, it was time to seal it off. And that's were I sit as of tonight, 4/10/…

alright so well I've been at this since Saturday morning and well i decided i would start up my build log tonight. i have some progress already going so i feel I'm at a pacing start. i got 2 weeks to accomplish as much as i can as I'm on vacation from work. yeah, it's kind of weird to take a vacation and work on your car. lawl. i have no where to go really and i usually take vacations to get a lot of work done. like when i did my fiberglassing. took 3 weeks and wao did those days go fast! anyways. my new rebuild will consist of, Components: Phoenix Gold RSD 6.5(new) Comp Amp: Profile AP1040 Alternator: Iraggi 200amp(Ordering soon) Deadener: 60sqft Elemental Designs Edead …

As most of you know I had my DD 9518Z for sale. Well it sold, and I ordered two SSA ZCON 18"s for the PT. A good friend of mine and I started a "Team" but not a team. Lol. Were called "Southern Hertz". To get in our group wont be easy. But well worth it. Notice the shop I'm always working in LOL. This is just the start. :-) Well, I've always hated messy wiring, I know, I'm like the king of it. But it drives me crazy. So tonight. A friend and I decided to fix my issue. We started with this not to shabby. But could be better. Then went in order of these photos. Took everything out. Old amp rack. Batteries. All of it. Started work on amp rack/ battery box. Built it…
