I think I made some big progress today, gave dc a call and ordered my level 4 15 and a t-shirt. My box design should be all finished up tonight and tomorrow im going to start cutting I have to work 3 to 9 tomorrow so maybe after work if i have all of the wood cut I will assembly my port, the bottom, sides and back so i can't get the port area all painted and what not. Pics to come!

sorry about the margin rape It will be fixed later.

Alright here is my build log, I just got the car about a month ago and transferred all my gear from my old car which was a 97 malibu. There will be progress hopefully every week for now my mids and highs are done, but in the future I plan to grab some audioque component speakers for the front and move my cerwin vega comps to the rear and replace my alpine type r's which are in the doors now. I am calling dc audio in a few days as i am waiting for a couple of checks to clear my bank account. I love this car, great gas mileage, its got a fairly strong electrical system for what it is, and its a hatchback =) Heres some pictures and a little video I recorded to kick it off. Oh yeah also I got a sheet of 3/4 mdf for 30$ after tax at my local lumber yard anyone know if thats a good price? Also im waiting on my box design to be done and it should be put together by the end of the week. By unfairtebo at 2010-07-06 By unfairtebo at 2010-07-06

Shit dude that looks sexy as it is. You could easily get away with out a drop.

i have the same HU :tup: Im about to be gettin me a level 4 15 within the next week and a half, only going to be seeing 1500w at 1ohm though. I hope I can get close to this. Hell its guna be in a hatch

i like the sound of that.

totally forgot about the cool story bro bullshit. I thought i might have been abl to start a good conversation about shit talkers, guess not.

So heres a story for you guys, Sunday i was at grad party for one of my friends and I got to chatting with a kid about car audio he told me his setup and I shared mine with him. So my girl friend and i go out to his car(Mitsubishi eclipse) I get in and goes "is 20 okay?" He is running a couple oif 6x9s and factory speakers it didnt sound good, bass hits, sounds like poo poo. Pop the trunk and he has 2 kenwood subs in a sealed box firing up. I don't know what it was but he kept telling me a 1600w amp because his subs are 1600w subs, one of the cones on the sub was cracked so he says i guess thats what happens when your that loud. So I show him my setup, mine isn't much to brag about. My mids and highs alone were better than his. Bass hits and completely blows his out of the water. Im not trying to brag about my system I just hate shit talkers, this kid was talking shit all day long and I shut him up with one 12 on 700w tuned to about 35hz. When my demo was done he goes "do you want to trade?!" Just thought someone might want to hear my little story.

am i missing something? I don't see the humor in that.

6speed? auto?

nice lookin truck dude! welcome to the forum.

Yeah Ive used it before, I just finished doing the rear doors. I did a few inches around the speaker and about a foot and a half squared behind the speaker. I cleaned both surfaces with windex to get all the major dirt and shit off then wipped everything down with rubbing alcohol. Got rid of the small rattles I have in the rear door and the bassy notes coming from the rears sounds better. Later in the week i will do my front door when I have some time. EDIT: forgot to add this, i did one layer around the speaker and 4 layers behind the speaker, just because I had it lol

Ive already got a set of cerwin vega comps, they are like a month old. I can't spend that kind of money right now. How ever today im going to peel n seal my rear doors around and behind the speaker, get rid of the little bit of rattle and hopefully make it better.

I dont have space under the drivers seat, there is a huge metal bracket for some relay, i dont know what the hell it does. Still getting to know my new car. So you think i should just scrap that idea?

I have an mbquart 4 channel, it has full range output but i am not sure about the voltage, i dont think it should matter too much. I was talking to a buddy of mine and from what he told me is to just set the hpf and lpf and i should be good to go, also run the rcas from the full range out put from the 4 channel

no one else can help me out?

I cant run rca's off my headunit. That would give me a 2v signal to midbass amp and 7v to everything else. Also what do you mean the signal is cut? as in you split the rca?

Ok guys I got a newer car, I used to drive a 97 malibu now i have an 08 pooniac vibe, nothing special but its a hatch should get loud. Yes I will be starting a build log soon lol. I want to get a little more out of my midbass. I was looking around the car and under the passenger seat there is some space where I could put an 8 inch sub in a small sealed box. My question is how should I run rca's to the amp(hifonics hifi200.1 2 channel.) I have the power bass equalizer, I was thinking either split off of the rear on the eq or just use the ouput on the 4 channel amp. Would that work or would it mess with everyhing while tuning around the eq? Also for midbass what should my settings look like on the amp? I was thinking the polk db 8 single voice coil 4ohm so i can run it off of one channel and be all set. any help would be great.

when I had my trunk car i did port back sub back and folded my seats down and the shit got pretty loud. I can't say anything about armrest of up because ive never done it. Well I know with port up you will get a lot of flex.

that thing is sexy. Fuck man a lexus is a lexus to me lol

go check out My link look for the klmx 1/0 cable I just bought some small pieces of it from a user on here and its very flexible and it isn't priced badly on their site. I definitely plan to buy some more for my new car.

main stuff is obviously clamps, straight edges, tape measure, table saw, good screw gun, counter sink bit, and a router. That would make a legit box.

damn dude nice addition to your fleet. Looks like you will have some fun with this car.

cerwin vega makes good shit if you ever have time to look into them

just make sure you have a beast of an electrical system 4k+watts at .66 is a lot of powaaaa
