Build Logs

The car is finally here. Here is just a bum load of pics, mostly old, and 4 new. More to come once I do more. So far all I've done is solder the CD player harnes, run wires, and figure out how I'm going to mount the speakers. And now for some new Pimp Mobile Needs sound deadening. The skin is pretty solid but the inside is like swiss cheese Crutchfeild thinks I'm mounting an old tape player I geuss. To walmart I go for a Sosche kit. Damn do I hate sosche kits. The halfarsed painted box. 1st coat and I ran out of paint. This stuff doesnt go on very thick. It looks nice in person though. As you can see the box was built that wide so that there would be space o…

With the help of fellow ssa members, especially Sean, Brad, and Lithium; I've been able to narrow down my choices to the following equipment. 2 Exodus ex-anarchy, playing double duty (midbass, midrange) 2 Peerless hds tweeters 1 Eclipse ea4100 4 channel amplifier 1 Jbl ms8 The plan is mounting each ex-anarchy and hds tweeter in the kick. MS8 and 4channel amp will be mounted in the cargo area, next to rear battery.

I have already started work on this, but finally got my sub & amp today! I can't thank Scott from FI & Corey from Sundown enough for working through all the shipping hassles we had during the holidays. So this build has a lot of work still to be done to it, but here is where I am at: The sub in the crate Finally!! Loving the blank inverted Thanks again Scott! In it's new home at last The magus! The whole system, except 880prs, cdt mids and peerless tweeters The duo that I hope will fulfill my low end love I should have more pictures tomorrow as I am working on the car all day. Not just stereo, need an oil change and some other minor tunings also. than…

Got a single Sundown 12 on an American Bass VFL Comp 2k I recently purchased, thanks SSA, and I've mentioned before that I've been having grounding issues. Just basically absolute hell trying to get a good clean ground. Now that I think I have a decent ground I think all the money Toyota put into making these cars silent in the mid 90's is haunting me and making it a beast to try to get my full sound out of the trunk! Lol. FML!

My neighbor wanted a new box for his Caprice to house three 12" Kicker CompVR's. The box he had was three seperate, one cube chambers, sealed. After I built the box, I stumbled across what would be any audio guys nightmare. I have never seen so many failed attempts to cut corners and rig a system, from front to back!!! I spent the better part of two hours removing items, no joke. I brought home 5 amps and two Kroger plastic shopping bags full of wire. After everything was removed, I redone the trunk area. I did not take too many pics, however, He will be bringing the car back next weekend and drop it off for me to finish upgradeing the wiring, as well as a big three up…

ok, first of all before I even ask this, I know having them behind me is not optimal, but right now the only speakers I have are xplod 6.5's behind me and its fine, this is one of the work rigs and it isnt getting anything fancy. pioneer 600UB infinity 475a audiobahn ABC600V audiobahn AW1051T if it works, cone moves with no coil-scraping sound, but it did sit in the shed for 3 years and got a little wet and the magnet cover got a little rusty... (I think its a 1051, got it years ago and the stickers fallen off the magnet) it is going to be a simple small sealed box down firing on the floor behind the front pass. seat (rear seat is removed and rear area is used for tools).…

Alright. It's time for a new build as I'm bored of my home theatre subwoofer. I already talked with Mark a bit and I'll be picking up 4 MJ-18s along with a Beringer EP-2500 amplifier. I'm thinking it will be made up of 5 pieces. (2) sub boxes, (2) speaker stands, and the main unit. The sub boxes will have 2 18"s each, and I'm probably going to go taller this time around and get it a bit skinnier. The speaker stands will hold one B&W DM 560 with the bottom of the speaker at 30". I believe at that height with our couches should be almost ideal. The main unit is going to hold out cable box, my Denon AVR-1707, the PS3, the PS2, the N64, the Beringer, my mini-fridge, and…

Here are some pics of our SPL truck at Tj's audio.. This truck brought home a 3rd place trophy from the USACI World Championship this year. We managed to hit 159.7 db @ 65hz using eight Addictive Audio V2 12's, Four Addictive Audio 200.1 amps, and 1 BatCap 8400.

Hey everybody. I got into car audio about a year ago and have learned a lot. When I got my BL some people sounded interested in my build with my Camry. So here it is finially. I was waiting until I had some good pictures saved up to post. Cuz we all love to see those pictures. This will be from the start of my system to my most recent additions. Hope you all enjoy.

Hey guys Im in need of some advice. I'm currently piecing together a setup which will be in a Trailblazer SS. So far I have my two BL 15s fully loaded (newer versions), JL 0/1 awg, and will be powered by a Crescendo BC3500d. I plan on buying a mechman 240 alt, xs power 3400 for under the hood and 3100 for out back. I'll probably have car tunes build my since they did a great job last time. I'm aware I should be running dual 0/1 for the batteries so I will but what else am I missing or should also do? Currently have 12 awg for the subs, should I go bigger? Also will my battery setup work fine at idle without crazy voltage drop? What about dual amp inputs? Any help and advi…

working on the bottoms of the doors after cutting out some rust he will indeed wavy hood more rust spots fixed didn't think new oem skins would need so much work to get them straight.. urethane - plastic prep + primer = oops

I am starting this thread because I am not prepared for the big build, so I am looking for ideas. Yes I said it I am looking for "Ideas." I am new on here and I know some things, but not all. So as an effort to show how humble I am when it comes to learning something I am interested in, I would like to start from scratch. I am searching other threads, youtube, etc on builds, terms, etc, but it wouldnt hurt for you all to throw me some ideas. I have my own ideas, but I would like to review different avenues to make sure I will be satistied with my build. I would like to give display my pictures, and my current equipment. Currently I am thinking about walling my subs off. I…

Ok this has been my goal for a decent amount of time and I marked 2010 as my start date for accomplishing this goal. (4) Fi BTL 18's triple stacked (Basically completed) (10) Deka intimidators (2) stetsom 10kd's (3) DC Alts (300 amps) (14) AA carbons (2) AQ mids amps Kenwood Exceleon x693 A boat load of sound deadener Hmmmmmmmmm I think I want a 16v system but we will see. Ok I have to admit it looks better with the rims, but they were only 20's anyway (outside pics) My personal favorite pic. It looks like my truck is challenging ALL comers. lol still doing some uploading and editing, I want to get this stuff off of my hard drive space and actually use them. lol I…

Soon I will be starting the rebuild in my SRT. I will be reconing the subs, adding some new mids and highs, new enclosure, new amp rack, battery bank, and possibly some exterior additions as well. I will try to get all the pictures that I can. Should be a good one this year.

Hello…my name is Dobson and I am a mechanic in the army…currently doing a tour in Iraq…with a good understanding of how to do installs…I am writing this to ensure that I have touched on every major aspect of my new install for my truck…I will try to be a descriptive as possible…so here goes nothing…I have a Chevy Avalanche…I will use the system for daily use and compete to see what it will do…my sub box will be single chamber and will take the place of my mid gate…I want to get two Fi BTL 18s…dual one ohm…subs will be wired in series to get two ohms from each sub…I will wire the subs together in parallel to equal one ohm…the amp I want is a Rockford Fosgate T40001 BD…wire…
