Build Logs

updating progress..... doors and side panels and head liner have been sueded,most parts have been spayed with chrome illusion and final wiring is being done now........

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…

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.

hey guys, im a noobie to this forum. a lot of you probably recognize my sign name/this build. here are all the pics as of now. well i have got all the wood cut other than the top and the inner port wall. other than that everything is going well. i am waiting for my 1" baffle for the sub to dry..then i can work on the mounting system for the sub(you'll see). here are some pics me screwing sub to 1" baffle. the perdy sub in the baffle. the gap was fixed btw floor piece done. the toughest part as of yet a view from inside the car my bud holding it in place the half inch bolts to mount the sub into the box bolts through the 1.75" thick baffle ass shot side …

This is a never ending work log that I should of thrown together months ago, but am too lazy to do. I call it work in progress because I feel as if it can never be finished. Most of it is done with, but there is always something I can do to better my install. This is my second install in my Ford Explorer, the first being a single 12" RE SX ported to 32Hz in a 3 cu. ft. box. It was powered by a RE 12.1 amp. Enough about my old install lets get back to my pride and joy. My new set-up is: (2) Two 12" Fi Q Orion 2500d CarPC 400W inverter for Playstation Lilliput Touchscreen My favorite part about my install is my false floor. I wanted to design a floor, so I could easily get…

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)

Well, we finally started the install. Here are the HUGE pics. I was too tired to resize them. http://www.carstereos.org/gallery/browseimages.php?c=196 I will update sometime tonight with more of whatever progress we make.

Ok this build is up on most of the forums but I figured I'd put it up over here as well. There are a lot of pictures so I'll try and only put the important ones in here... Here are the first 2 peices... Working around the stupid hump in the back wall. Here is a picture of the back, this is at a slight angle which is causing all sorts of hell with trying to line everything up. Another shot Once again, those are all test pieces. The only "good" pieces I have are in the first 2 pictures. Pretty much the bottom, back, and the small hump. Another close up of the internal driver side. Shot of the drivers side. All those pieces are finished. Internal of the driver…

so here is kind of a work log for the new bass i gots goin on. The box was designed an built by Rich aka Stratusrt01. it's by far the best, loudest, cleanest box i've heard for a single 12. I would extremely reccomend getting a box from him. the butt end tinsels portage (don't mind the small pile of dust also ups kinda dinged the box and ripped the carpet by the port, not Rich's fault) and full trunk

new stuff: HU: nakamichi cd-400 boston pro60's up front jbl gto936's in back 12" 05 xxx probably kicker amps. putting all the h/k stuff on ebay as a package, except the harnesses becuase its too hard to remove it without messing something up lol (cd changer, hu, h/k amp, speakers, aux input) made the rings for the 6.5s. i traced the factory outer part of the baffle and cut that out, then cut out the middle hole for my boston pro60 mids to fit in. im gonna have to figure out how to make the tweets fit in. the rings: bought this panasonic cq-c7413u HU, its decent, i hooked it up and drove over a brick road going 50+, and it only skipped once or twice. but i dont like how…

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"

Alright, I figure I'll get lots of things I did wrong pointed out, oh well. Bear in mind that this is my personal vehicle and it won't be my primary for more than a couple more years (if it lasts that long as many miles as I drive weekly). The goal is active 3 way from passive 2 way with a clean looking setup and of course, a new woofer (since the Quatro was only meant to be temporary). I'll start with the boring "thank you's" first. Thanks big time to all of these people: Pete with Team Toxic Bass and Hexibaseforum.com (user = Hexibase) for the enclosure design help Scott at Fi for answering all my questions and selling me a great woofer Scott (xbrightsidex) and joe …

Equipment Sub: RE SR10 Amp: MD22 (you all know what it looks like) Wires: navone 2 ch LOC and some 4 gauge wire kit im picking up tomorrow Box: .76 cubes sealed little bigger than reccomended but should do good. if its too boomy, i can always add mdf slugs and stuff to cut down the enclosure size/ -------------------------------------------- getting ready to build tomorrow 2 boxes actually SCREW THE SCREWS! clamps + glue and caulk FTW. something looks a little funny here.... mr bang left too much off the …

We were given a project in my business management class -- make a business. I decided on doing a car audio shop. I got all the work on the business done early, so I figured I'd go above-and-beyond and build a movable car audio display to show off a bit Here's the build log: I went to Lowes and got two sheets of 3/4" MDF, and had them cut it to spec. (The pictures are quite big if you click 'em... 56K'ers be warned!) The bottom being screwed on: The screws are in!: Counter-sunk ftw: I'll be filling those screw holes with some sort of putty so I can later paint the whole cabinet. The top's on!: The one problem about working with yourself and not having corner clamps…

this isnt really a worklog, its kinda the opposite wall v1.2 coming at a later time.......never even heard this one, oh well.... reason for removal: it was in my way to lay frame, and i should have done bags before the wall, but whats done is done. let there be light! trash:

Everyone else is doing one so I figured I would too. I am only going to show pictures up to right before the final install, since I am re-doing that Wednesday.

Ill be building the box tomorrow if the weather permits. Ill be posting pics as I follow through with this. heres the trunk design. The amp rack will be a piece of …

i'm finally going to have a soundstage in my room i always cheat. .1$ / ft = cheap cuts. but i couldn't afford right now tools like the shop has ignore the particle board. i had parts cut for some furniture. first time with the router. mid hole is a tiny bit too big. the tweeter fits perfect. i love my circle jig. diy terminals ftw ? still missing something, but it should be ready soon now all i have to do is sand the bondo and give it a test. working thursday and friday afternoons means painting is going to take a looong time. no pics of the actual build. getting all the tools on the table took more time than the actual assembly. i planned these boxes as temporary…

Hey there guys...I'm new here on the forum and have just finished my first install on my 02' Civic. Haha after reading the Towncar Log, I have to say I'm deathly afraid of posting this log up, but will do so anyways so I could recieve some input from you SSA Gods and other members. Hope you guys like it.

Well, Im finally getting around to doing another install in my fucus... 4way active = yum My front stage consists of: Pio Premier 880PRS PPI DCX-730 Dayton RS225s Vifa TG9s Seas neo alum or XT19s PG Xenon 100.4 PG Xenon 200.2 The sub stage is still somewhat undecided... Currently I have an MJ18 in a 6.5 cube ported enclosure tuned to 45hz, off a lil old RF 360a2... Tomorrow night, Ill be building a 4 cube ported enclosure and playing around with different tunings to see what I really like with this sub. This is what you see behind the seats The two options Im contemplating- A) 2 MJ-18s, 9 cubes net ported, tuned somewhere between 32-35hz, PG Xenon 1200.1 w/ a K…

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…

Just figured I'd let ya'll see some pics of my toyota. I'm picking up a few things come first of the week so I can finish my suspension. Anyway, here are some pics.
