JeepAndBassXJ Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 This has been a two year build I started in high school, I have finally graduated and I have a small system that is mostly finished. I have a few more plans for it during collage and maybe a big rebuild after collage. The new build has been completed and starts on page 3! Later on I'll even do some fiberglass a-pillars and other cool things! My Current system: -(2) PSI Audio 12's -Soundstream Rubicon 2500 -Soundstream Rubicon 800 5 Channel -Soundstream Mids and Highs -Fosgate P3 Shallow 8" -(2) Kinetic HC600 Batteries -Sky High OFC 0 gauge wire w/ Big 3 -Sky High OCF 12 gauge wire for all the speakers. -Sky High OFC 4 gauge for the subs. -Sky High 14 gauge primary wire for all other electrical connections, -200 Amp HO Alternator -125 sqft of GT Mat 80 Mil Sound deadener. This is my Jeep Cherokee, my first car. As for my system, I'm running two Fosgate HX2 12's with PSI 1000 watt recones. Soundstream Rubicon 2500 bass amp and a Soundstream Rubicon 5.800 for mids and highs. Soundtream mids and highs, Clarion eq, Sony head unit, all Sky High OFC 0 gauge wire, and an HO alternator. As for the build... I did it in a few stages, getting a system to play, and then doing some rebuilding, and then playing it again. I started out two years ago with the original Fosgate HX2's, I built my first box that was about 4.4 cubes ported. It was tuned to around 32Hz but would only play down to around 35Hz so once I had heard a few other systems I knew I had a fail lol. But I did use t-nuts and reinforced the inside of the box! Carpeted it and then wired the subs to 1 ohm for my new amp. I'm still running this amp, two years of hitting hard and it's never let me down! And then did some wiring upgrades...started with Walmart 8 gauge and then jumped to the big stuff!

JeepAndBassXJ Posted August 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Later I got around to sound dampening... And a new head unit! And some free amps for my mids and highs. Then I made custom panels for my rear speakers and a custom cubby box for an 8" YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/JeepAndBass Website: https://www.jeepandbass.com/ My Jeep: 157.3dB @26hz Drag Style 162.3dB @36Hz Outlaw 160.7db @35hz Headrest My Honda: 155.4dB Drag Style 158.0db Outlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmizzle99 Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Nice work kid. Keep it up. Always be planning the next thing so if you see something come up for sale, pre-owned, etc you can capitalize.

JeepAndBassXJ Posted August 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Then it was time for a new box!! I wanted a punchy sound with a wide bandwidth. This bandpass plays from 28Hz to 72Hz with a consistent volume. I built this one in my school's wood shop like I did the first one but this time I did plexy glass and led lights too. I also did leds in the rest of the car. Next was to fix my voltage problem, I had a stock alternator on an old battery. I upgraded to a HO alternator that was a direct fit, got a new battery, a second battery, and did the big 3 with 0 gauge. 60 Amp alt vs. 220 amp alt!

JeepAndBassXJ Posted August 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 I finally had the loudest system at school by-far and then this happened...... One of the original subs started coming apart, the cone was separating from the coil and rattling badddd. So I took them out wall-socketed the good one and got some recons! So then I started The Wall of Death!!

JeepAndBassXJ Posted August 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Then I went ahead and got some PSI recones, I got stitched tinsel leads, stiff spider, dual 1 ohm flat wind 1000 watt coils, and the standard cone w/ PSI dust caps.

JeepAndBassXJ Posted August 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 I then discovered that the surround on the recones was huge compared to the stock surrounds, so I couldn't invert them in the box because they wouldn't fit! So now we see the fronts of the speakers. I soon picked up an eq to get my mids and highs sounding better, they got louder too!
