I'm pretty new to this website,and I'd like to thank everyone for the warm welcome. I am currently in the process of upgrading my subwoofer setup in my Yukon. I used to have 2 12" Alpine Type E and Alpine 450 watt amp. That was my first setup I ever had, and now that I know a lot more (definitely not everything) I am ready to upgrade. So ever since I saw Steeve Meeades's videos on YouTube, I've always wanted to get a BTL. Recently I've pulled the trigger on getting the stuff I need to do this. Ive paid for everythiing except for the sub itself, because I need to sell my previous setup to have enough money. I put on craigslist for $250, but every time someone offers …

First off, to those who have helped me with my mid bass thread. I'm still planning/ listening as time allows. Thank you, to those that have offered help , you know who you are, it's greatly appreciated and I should have some updates soon. O.K., I figured I'd better get off my ass now that i have some time and get the subwoofer box on its way. This is an enclosure for 4 sa-8's, 3.6 c.f. (net) tuned to 33 hertz with 52.875" of port. It will be driven by a sundown saz-2000d @ 1 ohm. This is going in my 2000 ranger extended cab pickup. Everybody has seen enclosures with kerfed ports, but not like this one I'd bet. I was originally going to do a double kerfed port, but in the…

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

alright so well I've been at this since Saturday morning and well i decided i would start up my build log tonight. i have some progress already going so i feel I'm at a pacing start. i got 2 weeks to accomplish as much as i can as I'm on vacation from work. yeah, it's kind of weird to take a vacation and work on your car. lawl. i have no where to go really and i usually take vacations to get a lot of work done. like when i did my fiberglassing. took 3 weeks and wao did those days go fast! anyways. my new rebuild will consist of, Components: Phoenix Gold RSD 6.5(new) Comp Amp: Profile AP1040 Alternator: Iraggi 200amp(Ordering soon) Deadener: 60sqft Elemental Designs Edead …

The bandwidth on my photobucket was exceeded, so that's why I'm starting another thread. Heres everything I have done so far. 03 Ford Expedition XLT. Two Incriminator Audio Death Penalty's. Four JL Slash 1000/1v2's. Two bulk packs of Second Skin Damplifier Pro. What it's going in. Everything that's going in. Port. Bracing. Four layers of this. And I did the inside of the back hatch with two layers the Damplifier Pro too.

Long time no see. Gonna bring you up to speed on a current project I have going on. It's an 07 Silverado xcab on 24s. I am putting all Crescendo in this where I can. Currently has a wall for two 18s but I believe plans for that have changed. He is talking walk-thru. He has 8 DC Lvl5 15s and getting more. But thats the future. Anywho, lets get some pics up.

Here we go, starting the lightweight, simple install in the Miata First off some pictures of the car, keep in mind I was always too busy enjoying driving it to do anything else, like cleaning it Just after a wash, comparing it with a friend's Z3. Mock-up of the 7" tablet. Fits great in the scene Target for the entire system is under 30 lbs. That includes wiring, fiberglass, minimal deadening, speakers, amp, tablet and miniDSP.

Hey! Starting a little build log for my tiny little car, a VW Lupo: Modified with coilover suspension and some old OEM Porsche 928 wheels.

Ok, so Im sorta new to SSA and Ive been looking at alot of people build logs and I decided its time to wall my car. Ive already started and this project should get done within the next couple weeks. So heres the specs, 2 FI Q 15 fully loaded, box has 8.2 Cubes after displacement tuned to 33hz. Im open to any feedback and opinions but if your going to be a jack a$$ then dont bother posting, 1 more thing, Im 17 years old and im doing all of this myself with maybe the help of my friend so dont give me crap for being young I know 95% of what im doing, secureing the box to my car is the hardest thing for me, I was think get brackets shaped like this -|_|- from home depot, flat…

My wife wrecked my town car. There's $5k in damage, almost enough to total it. So I took the check, and it's for sale for 3k on craigslist as a driver. I replaced it with something more fun. 06 Pontiac GTO I found on eBay. Here's a pic I took an hour north of Fresno, CA on the 13 hour drive back to Portland, OR. It's a one owner with 27k. So far I've bought a Diablosport Predator tuner, a Vararam OTRCAI, and tinted the windows. Other than the stereo I'm going to try to keep the mods to a minimum(it's 400 from the factory). It currently has an old Kenwood double din mounted inside the shell of the factory deck. I'm hoping he used a harness and didn't just cut into the f…

Yep, nothing fancy, no rims, no lowering or lift kit, no fancy exhaust. But I kept the truck exceptionally clean for one that is nearly 10 years old.

He is my buil log from SMD forum... I'll post some pics here & post to both from now on: http://www.*****.com/board/topic/97426-93-ford-bronco-slow-rebuild-breaks-parts-hunting/page__p__1345285__hl__bronco__fromsearch__1#entry1345285

I received a phone call last night at work from a friend who I have not seen in several months. He moved for our company to start up a new facility. He has done may wild builds in the past some of which I ask him to post. He recently started an account here and ask me to start his build log. So far he has purchased: 8 Kicker cvr 15"s 2 Hifonics XXV Colossus amps Audio Control Epic-160 4 sets of Kicker ds650.2 Deka batteries (not sure of size) He is going to putting this in a Ford minivan and is currently planning on going with a sealed sub enclosure. I am sure that I have forgotten something, but once his membership is approved he will set the build straight. He is inte…

Car is a '94 Buick Roadmaster. Purchased it about 2 years ago. Spent the 1st summer deadening the car, and last summer I just didn't have much time to get things done. Goal is to have a stereo finally installed in it this year! Have a little road trip coming up on June 22nd, and I would really like to at least have it playing music before then. Between work, the gym and my kids' evening activities I don't have much free time so that is quite a challenge. Not starting from scratch here. But hoping a little log will keep me on track and responsible for getting shit done. To get things up to speed...the car is deadened front to rear with SDS sound deadening. I bel…

I posted a topic to get some ideas and feedback about an install in a '80 Corvette and the responces were great. Due to the nature of the design and limited options for this model vehicle and at the request of the owner, we will not be cutting on the doors and using the factory locations in the front of the vehicle. We will however be making some modifications to the rear of the vehicle, but be saving the majority of the space in the rear so that space can be used for the placement of the T-tops when out for a cruise. I/we have discussed the limiting factors of the choices made for the items being installed and the limitations of sound that they can reproduce. The owner h…

Alrighty finally started a new build on the 2000 Blazer. Box is 12.5 cu ft. @33hz with 150 sq inches of port area. And now with the design And the start of cutting.. wood is MDF with oak veneer, very good looking stuff Yes, I AM building this all inside of a house haha Can you believe those holes are done with a jigsaw?? FTW. Port Thats all I got for now, will post more pictures later tonight when I get the other stuff glued together..

I am downgrading to have room for my work/ new children. I removed almost everything about a year ago and finally have time to put things in. I have a 6 month old and another on the way, so I have to haul around a lot of kid stuff right now, as well as tools and equipment for work. Box will be ~10ft net with about 115sq of port. It's a bit small, but I need 1/2 of the back for cargo, and I figure it should be fine with the power I'm planning on using and box rise and all. I will have 10 runs of 1/0- Knu Fleks, Shok industries. Only 4 D 3100s for now, but I will be running good alt power. For now I have 2 alts and an MLA module (300a @ idle, 15.6v), soon to be going with D…

Gonna finally start a build log for my camry. its a sad project thats been going on for months and there has been lots of setbacks but everything is turning up so gonna start posting some pics and some progress. Build is going to consist of 2 Fi BL 12's on a Sundown SAZ-3500. Power is going to consist of a dc 270xp and 3 xs d3400's. Any help is appreciated as far as opinions and stuff would be appreciated.

Okay, so I've been doing a little at a time for a while now, and I finally have everything together (minus the electrical upgrades- but they will be on their way shortly). I'll have to post some pics of all the equipment together in later post since I don't have it all in the same area, but heres my plans: 4 18" BTLs, 4 Memphis 4kws, and the electrical system to boot, most likely 3-4 iraggi 260s, and 6 batteries. 20ft net with interchangable ports, the main one will be tuned to 36hz (more like 36.1, but oh well) with about 240sq of port. I've been waiting to get enough pics to really start this thread, so here's my progress as of now. I'll update as progress is made, but …

Title says it all right? I've pre-ordered the subwoofers, I will get them near the end of may/ early june. This is the stratus: I will be tearing out the old baffle, and the front. Making some kind of base, battery rack, and amp rack in the trunk. Clamshell will go behind the seats, then I will seal the trunk off, stuff it with polyfill. I bought E8's (sundown) The final specs will look like this: Re = 3.37 ohms (4 ohm nominal) Fs = 34.9 hz Qes = 0.5323 Qms = 6.93 Qts = 0.4943 Vas = 7.6 L BL = 13.3 N/A Mms = 127.7 grams Cms = 162 um/N Xmax = 12mm one-way linear (70% BL method) Rated RMS Power = 200 watts Depth = 4.25" OD w/ gasket = 8 5/16" Cut Out = 7" Sealed Box: 0…

I wanted to go ahead and create the thread because you gonna need to finalize your decision(s) very soon as i am onto you now. As far as i know, u want 2 12" BTLS off of a 3500d.... If this is true, it will be fired forward. I'll be rootin through my PMs again to find your dimensions so i can start your build. If you need an entire design done in your trunk, give me ALL dimensions so i can model battery and amp(s) mounting too if u need it, otherwise, i'll just design your box. Let me know what you want it tuned too.. otherwise, i'll tune it to 32hz for daily and interchangeable for competition.
