Build Logs

Hello, I haven't logged into this site in probably 6 years. Hello again. At any rate I recently acquired a new to me vehicle, a 2004.5 Chevy Silverado 2500HD Duramax. I haven't had any interest in car audio for a long time but I bought this truck and it has some odd Kenwood head unit and factory speakers which sound really bad, even by factory speaker standards. I planned on just getting a pair of speakers for the doors and calling it a day, while shopping I got the idea to do some other stuff with things I found in my garage. It won't be anything fancy but it will do the trick hopefully. I also don't want to spend very much money. The truck came with a …

Got around to building the box today for my BL15. Anywho on with the good stuff... Overall I'm really impressed with this thing. I like it alot. I will carpet it later I just wanted to get it in and start breaking it in. It wangs . --edit-- The 6" Aero is in the box as well. It's not sealed

I drive an 06 infiniti g35 coupe and I want to attempt my first wall with 2 fi btl 18's. The deminsions to work with are approx. 44 L, 25 H, 26 D. I dont have any experience with buliding walls so I wanted some opinions on if that would be enough space for the subs and I have to build it inside the car so is glue and fiberglass resin strong enough to hold it together?. I usually see walls that are 14 cu feet after sub and port displacement, mine will maybe come out 12.

Long time member here first build log though. I have on order 2 sundown sa-12's and from what I already have gathered i need about a 4cu ft net common chamber box and I want to get around 30Hz tune. Looking for ideas on design as far as sub and port orientation. I plan on removing and reloacting the jack so i have more room to work with back against the cab wall. I am also making a false floor/platform to have a nice area to work with. I have 1500 watts on tap, stock electrical although I am also going to upgrade my power/grounds under the hood. I have a pretty beefy battery and with only 1500 watts I should survive with just charging upgrades. Have in the past but we s…

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.

Hi guys I'm new to the forum and this is my first post. I just started out building my own boxes for the past 2 years now and need some assistance on this new build. Attached is the pictures of the box in progress. Can anyone assist me with port tuning (I'm from south africa so in cm would be great). The dimensions are : Height 41.5cm Length 90.5cm Width 45.5cm Sub mounting height 17cm All wood is 20mm plywood What is my current port tuned at 52.5cm port running in an L shape in the box 5.4cm width Length 41.5cm pictures attached The sub mounting height is basically the walls around it. Thanks for the time

Ok my brother is coming home from iraq and I would like 2 build him a box as a suprise he has a bramha mk2 15 here are max dimensions looking for a ported box please help I've tried the box builder websites and I get more frustrated than accomplished everyone here seems 2 be super helpful 23.50 tall 21 deep and 38 wide using 3/4 mdf I really appreciate the help everyone and anyone u can post here or email me [email protected]

Specs - 22" tall 44" wide 22" deep Double baffled Subs and port facing rear. Make sure you install the box so when looking into your trunk, the port is on the right just how it is in the pic below. Port area - 20.5" x 5" = 102.5" Tuned to 33Hz @ 8.0 cubic ft NET after minor bracing shown below. Port is attached to back of second baffle. The port wall depth is 14.75" This allows a 5" wide opening from the end of the wall to the back wall of the box. This is important as you must keep the opening 5" wide. The bracing can be all thread(not the vertical runs obviously), or wooden dowels. Diameter really isn't too important, anywhere between 1-2" is fine. The bracing sh…

Watsup guys...I'm coming from 2 JL AUDIO 13w7 to 2 15 FI Q fully Loaded dual 2 ohm voicecoils..Hopefully i made a right choice. Im trying to stay with SQ. I have a 2004 GMC Envoy and wanted a vented box for it... I plan on using it as a daily driver maybe tuned to around 32hz or 33hz.. Trying to hit THREE SIX MAFIA-LATE NIGHT TIP ... The amp i will run is a KICKER 10zx2500.1, AudioControl EPICenter & a clarion 3 way crossover. Also i have a 250 output alternator with the Big 3 done. I'm also using a XS POWER D3100 in the back with a 500amp Isolator/Relay up front. I really want the two subs and port to face up towards my roof, or unless have a better idea, thats just…

Did this for a friend of mine a couple of weeks ago. He is using some old JL audio 10's, I'm working on him to get some q's. I don't remember what amp he was using, some ~600 watt amp. I don't have a final pick of it in the truck but it fit like a GLOVE. BTL 18 vs. one of his subs Box was ~ 3 ft^3 tuned ~35. I threw in the 4" aero for free

Double post my bad!

Hey guys, thought I would post some pictures on my truck install. For some reason I forgot to take pictures during most of the build, as it's now almost done. This was some what of a budget install for me. All of the wiring I had left over from other projects as well as my alpine amp. The head unit is a Pioneer DEH-P7400, nothing special. The component speakers I have were the 6.5" Aura Sound set that PE was closing out a while ago. My subs are Dayton Audio RSS265HO-4 that I picked up for $90 shipped for the pair BNIB. The sub amp is a Boston GTA-1000M. Now onto the pictures... The amps are mounted to a wood base under the carpet (no pic). The component cross…
