Build Logs

Hey guys! Member @cruz87 has hit me up to have me build him a little somethin somethin... ill just let the pics do the talkin!

Here is a teaser pic for my new console that's going in my truck. Hopefully the picture will show up since I'm new to posting pics. Looking forward to documenting the process for you guys.

I was going to copy and paste from my thread on a gm trucks forum as this build started back in january but theres a lot of unneeded stuff in there. I went back and forth alot about what i was going to do and how. This system started because i had the typical driver side front speaker failure. I was going to merely replace all the factory speakers and run the amp off high level inputs from the stock head unit...boy did that change. My on experience in car audio previous to this was my 1991 jimmy when i was 16. It involved a head unit, simple speaker replacements using factory wires and two 12 inch mtx thunder 3000 (i think) subs in a bandpass box i bought at the pawn shop…

Hey everyone i am Ryan. You will here alot from me while i am building my new setup! I have a 2000 Isuzu Hombre (same as an S10), std cab, 5speed, 2.2 I had twelve RE 8's in the truck before the teardown, and now i am upgrading: here is an old pic: and for anyone interested it did 148 on the TL mic with a modified MTX 1501D amp. My new setup will look something like this: with 10 ascendant 8's ported with 6 aero ports tuned to around 45hz or so for comps, and if i plug up 3 ports it will tune the box to around 32hz for daily driven and i will be putting in four 5 1/4's or 6" mids in each door, along with 4 tweets in each door. i have yet to decide on brands for those…

Vehicle: 2002 Yukon XL Rims: 24" Milanni Voodoo's HU: Pioneer Double Din Amp: DC 3500 Subwoofers: (2)18" DC Level 4's This is my new build log and I will be updating it as I go. This will be incomplete until I catch up with photos. Be patient with me. I am getting my truck painted, upgraded, and of course my sound setup. Plus using my phone to get link codes from photobucket and working 12 hour shifts at the police department takes a lot of time. Stay tuned. Purchased the Truck on June 28, 2014. The truck as it was stock. This was the original hood, but I never took any photos of that side of the truck when that hood was on there. A week later I got a set of M…

well i know i havent been on the forums in many years been extremly busy with work and everything after i finally finished college and what not. long story short. started this build back in aug, wanted to do a totally restoration but i found my self a 68 chevelle malibu with a 307, isnt worth much if i restored it. so i am going to take it to a resto mod. big block of course, either lsx 454 or 572, Ford 9 rear end, pro touring front and rear suspension, interior completely redone and new, everything in this build is home made nothing has been taken to shops or anything. doing everything by hand and my own sweet and blood into this car. I do my own welding, metal work, in…

OK I have been super super busy with my daughter latley giving her most of my time and her bday is in a few days she will be one so I have been gone for a few months but im back.... haha So here is what we are working with so far 2 SSA ICON 10s 1 PTS Horn Swiss audio forgot wich model amp 2 Kicker 6 1/2s and eclipes tweets and crossovers Now thats to get by for now things will change up alot.... lots of plans but those will be discussed later on to pics now where is that camera haha by the way on around 700watts I knocked my window off track had fun putting it back on today

Well the time has come for me to go ahead and show some progress with the truck. This thing has been through hell and back with me from repairing the lower intake manifold to having its fair share of abuse from low tuning. The first setup consisted of 3 18's on 2 AQ 2200's strapped with a single XS D3100 in the back for support. Let's just say this didn't work and had me reconing the subs. Best recorded score of the 3 18's before blowing them. Sadly, I bought an alternator that was actually sitting in the backseat at the time I was giving a demo and blew the subs. Unfortunate for me, it was a fuckin Tenney that didn't work! It looked nice and legit though.…

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.

so this is my first build log so don't flame me if i am doing it wrong, ok so here it goes so i got my first 18", an Fi audio q on Monday and the thing is a beast! here are some pics amazing packaging from Fi if haven't seen it already the box i am building for this sub is a 7.5 cube sealed box and if anyone is wondering what the dimensions are it will be 35.5wx22dx22h the box will have a 2 layer 3/4 MDF baffle as you will see in the pics. and i got the box cut at southern lumber in san jose ca. it cost $10 to have them cut the whole box. much better than freehanding it with a saws all. anyway here are the pics test fitting all the pieces gluing the front baffle to…

Alright so i thought i put up my build of my accord on here but i didn't. So here it goes. I'm not done yet so it obviously won't be a complete build! Car in the shop ready for work View of the floor before we started with the DC sub hooked up and just free airing Old amp rack Battery in the back, HC1800 soon to be 2 Picture of the wires and engine False floor in Looking at a back panel to put in Box without the top back panel Panel fits! Semi finished box just sitting on it's butt Bbbbracing Hole cut AND sanded Will it fit? Yes! So we had to take it apart and put it back together but after we finished the box we thought it wouldn't fit when we tried to get …

Havent posted here in a while, but to say the least I am the proud new owner of the worlds loudest trailblazer. I bought it last week, with the subs still in it. I only got a Soundstream TX1.2600 running to (4) DC Level 5 18s, but will soon get (2) DC 9ks. Heres some pics of her. And a few videos so far. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcJIDOk-o3U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngNkofA8Skk

I realized I hadn't posted this on SSA so here it is. My car is a 1996 Chevy Lumina LS and is my daily driver. Everything is pretty much stock except for a few things- Excessive Amperage 200A alt Big 3 0g Optima yellowtop in front Northstar NSB 90 0g front to back As of a couple days ago I had a budget stereo. RF power 5 1/4 and 6x9 coaxials in the stock locations. A visonik 240xt to power them. I have 2 but only run 1 10" RF power HX2 sub in a 1.75 @33hz off of a DUB8001 amp. My HU is a premier p490ib with my 2G nano connected to it. But right now, I replaced the DUB amp with an RF T10001bd and gave my 6x9's away. Nothing looks really nice because its still temporary.. a…

I have a build log going on over at caraudio.com but I switch stuff around so much that I hardly ever post up anything anymore.

This build has been done for a bit, Was designed and build by Scott Bowman and Nick Pro of team nemesis in Wilmington N.C. I just switched amps from a pair of aq20k's to a pair of stetsom 14k2e's, I haven't had a chance to test with stetsom amps, but to the ear, it is deff louder, enjoy! old set up old amps tear of the c-pilar wall sketch up of 4th order 2:1 ratio 12 cubes sealed 24 ported test fit for batteries Loading wall test fit for old bass amps daily port These are my old subs: american bass hd's, not really 4th order friendly changed subs to nightshade v2's because the hd's didn't like 20,000 watts new subs: thanks Jacob …

Not designed by me. (g2shuck) Subs are: D4 Alpine type S 15's Rockford P-500.4 amp on 4 gauge Q1-3500.1 (4,300 watts rms at 1 ohm) on two runs of 0 gauge.

I'll post up some pics of the process and how I like the subs overall. My setup as of now is a single 12 inch zcon d2 running at 1 ohm on a Crescendo bc3500. A singer 250 amp alternator and a sundown sae 50.4 running a set of soundqubed components. Deck is a sony for now not sure of the model number. I have a pioneer 80prs I'm going to install sometime but i have to take it out of my truck first and i wanted to wait to get some better comps and figure out the best placement in my car for tweeters. I'll post up some pics here in a fe…

2 audioque HDC3 15's 1 sundown saz 3000d 1 jl 300/4 Pioneer avh p5000dvd 00 all the wat back Kinetik hc800 and hc 2400 in the back deep cell up front for mid idk yet still lookin around Tweets uhh lookin at seas prestige idk yet though I need help on the box. I can't find box specs for these things anywhere. I've seen people with 4.5 for one and 8.5 with 2. I was thinkin around 7.5 at 34. Any suggestions on mids tweets or box size and tuning is welcomed. Ordered the subs yesterday haven't received any shipping details yet, but I am expecting about 2 or 3 weeks. This will be a pic heavy build and video heavy. STAY TUNED!!!!

So last January I got the new 2014 fusion SE almost all loaded out. I'm doing an audio upgrade but started this week since it's been so damn cold out. It'll consist of: 2 15" DSS Ethos DD m3b Sundown SA6.5 comps (passive) Incriminator IA 3.4 Stock alt (I think 140) Die Hard Platinum G31 2/0 welding supply wire Stock H/U with LC2i I will upload pics later tonight if I get time. I'm finishing the box now. Just putting some extra bracing in then top goes on. Box is 6.5 cubes tuned to 31hz with 2 6" PVC pipes. I know it's not the best but it should do just fine.

Hello everyone, I wanted to get a build log going for my recent purchase.

1999 Chevy Venture The GF reading, a.k.a. xGTDropTopx Big 3 with Yellow Top Dual 1/0 runs to rear G31 Blue Top SPACEEEE 400' of 15awg speaker wire/ RE MT 18" My friends old 2 18"s box for his Trailblazer Gave up in a few minutes. The tool kit........ well part of it. Soon to be installed..... 4 mids/4 tweets per front door.

Here's a simple install in my 90 325i. I was on a budget since this is pretty much my daily beater car. Sub, amp, wires, and materials all totaled around $150 but still sounds clean and clear. Plays loud enough for my tastes as well. Guessing around 120db. Will use a cheesy Radio Shack meter on the dash to get a rough estimate when I have a spare moment. Main goal was to keep it compact and still sound good. Didn't need earth shattering, just clean and clear. I can still rattle my side views and rear view pretty damn good though if desired. Equipment details. Kenwood KDC-X889 HU. Alpine Type R 3 ways up front. JL Audio 12w4-4 bridged on a POS Sony Xplod (inse…

This build wont be nearly as impressive as many of the other members, and will slowly take place over time but figured I'd post anyways so I can gain criticism, and possibly help others. Ill start off with some pics my jeep, and my old system. 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo roughly 134,000 miles on it Bought it in October with around 132,000 Old RE 10" Subs (Blew them) Current Deck Corner of boxes, From old system
