Build Logs

finally done with my exams and i can start work on the car. objectives : a "budget" active system as stealthy as possible nothing much at first. progress is very slow because of some family "issues" keeping me away... first up, mounting the head unit (alpine 9813 i found locally) : dash ripped apart, so i can fabricate some brackets to hold the hu in place head unit running the stock speakers...just a quick test before the end of the day

This is my build including a BTL 15 d 0.7 fully loaded in my 01 Grand Am. Powered by my SoundStream PCA 2000d. The sub actually reads 1.2 ohm so thats pretty cool. Internal lengths heigth = 16 depth = 17.5 width = 30 4.86 cu ft total PORT LENGTHS height 16 width 5 depth 18 displacement of port is .78 cu ft port go down 12.5 , then go right 5.5 tuned @ 45 hz with alot of HELP from ZEUSILICIOUS ON ca.com Thanks Man ya the last photo had the light on it because it was actually DARK out...i was workin on it all day... Hope ill do good at the comp on sunday July 29th!!!

I finally finished (yeah, right!) the system in my 2002 Toyota 4Runner. I couldn't have done it without everyone's help here on the SSA forums, particularly denim, SSaudio, SoundSplinter, mrray13, and probably others that I'm forgetting (sorry!). Anyways, enough with the chatter. Enjoy your build log pr0n! I originally saw this design and thought it would be a nice fit for my daily SQ system. After reading that mrray13 achieved good results, it was a no-brainer to move forward with this instead of the typical sealed, since I have the room for it. Here I'm dry-fitting the first cuts for the TL box. Cutting out the front panel. Proof that this really is the TL box…

Ok here I go again with another truck box build. This box will be house a single 12" driver either my SI Claw Mag 12" or my Sonic FX Q 12" depending on which performs better. Specs are as follow, 2.54@30Hz 20"^2 of port Really hoping to get some gut pounding lows out of this box. My current box hits them decent but I want better more defined lows. So enough talk, on with the pics.... Just started this build tonight. Got a good chunk done. Right now everything is being dry fitted before I get all glue happy. It will be put together with screws and TightBond II. Sub will be set back into the box to allow for space for excursion. Still debating on going round or …

Well here is what I have installed in my 07 ram quad cab. 1. panasonic 8805 HU 2. phoenix gold tantrum 400.4 (door speakers) 3. blaupunkt 6.5" components (front doors) 4. blaupunkt 6.5" coax (rear doors) 5. phoenix glod tantrum 1200.1 (sub) 6. TC 3000 15" dvc-2 What do you think?

Right now the gorilla glue is drying on the MDF that I'll mount the amps with on the back wall -John

i been wantin to make a thread like this so fk it i am lol.... i started w/ this system ~10 months ago.. big difference between now and then. 1st was an splx15" and ss pca1000d: 136.8db still the same clarion deck.. added EQ w/ 7v out got a bigger box maybe 3cubes added a 4" aero.. this box and 4" port was the lowest hitting out of all the ones ive tried so far. 138.9db picked up a used 9515 and also swapped the pca1000 for the pca1500d the splx was a loud sub.. the dd sounds alot nicer though sealed off the 4" hole on the front, added a side firing 6" flared port.. 141.8db most recent mid/high amp, if you look at the pics i've been through 3 or 4 already.. …

Some inspiration to start me off Lowes precut pieces The fat man glue, The st part of the box Fitting for teh next part Yea it might work Took the trunk off the ride to make it fit better ewww, its lookin pretty tight, had to take the tension bars off the trunk, gave me about 3 more inches(not shown) Buildin the next piece went to the club for teh moment coming together, pretty nicely for a test fit dad wanted in on the action, so he cut them out for me looks like they fit The sub easy config painted it black waitin for the glue to dry In the car at last, that thing was a B I Itch to install Was a bit confused at first, lol, forgot to wire across to te…

Well I wanted to do things a little differently and decided to save it all till I have everything complete. Ive put it all in a video. I have put a lot of work into all of this. Enjoy

Only thing that sucks is the ipods eq doesn't have a custom setting. Thats the rem switch to my amp btw, lol.

Box build is happening today, it is raining right now, waiting for it to let off to get the first layer of resin in the box... Four more cuts today, and than its just assembly and glass work. I am probably gonna order 80 sq feet of second skin soon and throw some of that in. I have already removed all of my factory speakers. All of the equipment for this build is in my signature. Will be updating throughout the day. Box is 3.68 cubic feet (before port displacement) with 69 sq inches of port. Double front baffle, countersunk screws, and completely resin'ed. Will be holding two 10" TC sounds oem's and tuned to 42 hz. So here are some pics:

Well, after all the trouble to get this setup finished. I finally have gotten some thing put together and some in progress. My FG box is being put together by Bart Etter(owner of BetterAudio if you remember them), whom I'd like to thank for his hard work. Well here's some progression pics of the box build. He does a good job My speakers. THe Mpyres are installed in the doors currently. That's MpyreAudio, Adire Koda, and RE XXX in that order shown. My car ghetto rig til box comes in My Clarion DRZ9255 already installed Well, I'll update this as things progress.

First of all the credit is due to Ramos and Matt for all the long,but fun weekends, on this build. I know I learned tons from Ramos, cooking techniques, and how to make perfect circles with a plunge router upside down and not lose a finger......well anyway here are the finished pics.... The MS1000TA in all it's glory! Another shot from the other side looking straight back(don't worry the SoundDown will get a clear plexi too,just need longer screws) The P9..... another shot there ya have it guys.......feel free to leave comments.......and no it's doesn't sound like the Magnum(or as good)

My little brother is putting a system together for this years competition season. He will be competing in USACI's street beat. Its a 2003 (I believe) Hyundai Accent. He is using a real basic pioneer deck for now with an update in the future. Two runs of 0 gauge running back to a single US-AMPS 6000 pushing a single Hyfonics Goliath 15. Here are a few pics of the progress so far. We are a little behind because of orders not coming in, but it should be done in a week or so. I used the RFL for comparison only, its the first sub to come close to its size but still just a little bigger. We are finishing the trunk in black suede and the amp will "float" behind the …

I finally got in the amp, midbasses and so on and got to work. The box has been under construction for the last week and is done, finally. 2 cf @ 30hz 25.5 in^2 of port. I didn't want a full height port because it would have been stupidly long. As such I built the port as a separate unit and then made a cutout in the front panel and a flared trim piece to finish it off. Here's the port. Then I laid out the template for the cutout. and made the cut on the router table. I doubled the baffle around the sub and glued the port in place. Here is the box minus the port flange ready for paint. The flange was going to be painted a different color. The baox itself is pain…
