Andreetje1977's build history and buildlog. New Alpine H.U.

[Andreetje77]

First of my real name is Andre and i am 37 years young and i am coming from The Netherlands. I have being active on SMD for a while now but i thought lets show what i have had for the last 2 years,and what i have now.

First of the car is a Fiat Marea Weekend.

With this car i started of with a SPL Dynamics DIG-1450 monoblock, A Gladen audio component set an Alpine H.U and a DD 2510 D2:

Put it in a box i had made for a Audioque(i don´t remember what type);

The H.U. ;

Then i bought a slightly more powerfull monoblock an blew the DD;

So i bought a bigger sub the A.A Chaos 12d2,and had a box made for it because i did not had the time for it to do it myself;

Then the Dragster amp would not turn on anymore and i bought this little amp;

This amp is capable of putting out 2100 plus Watt r.m.s at 1 Ohm so plenty of power for a A.A. Chaos

Now i am going to change to a A.A Chaos 18d2, and i wil later on show the build of the box that i will do together with a friend of mine.

I traded this sub for a older Yamaha home cinema amplifier and a set of speakers.

I will make updates as soon as we get started on the box.

So here are a couple of build pics of my new enclosure;

And in the car with less than an 1/2 inch to spare on the left and right;

Andreas1977;946516]I traded the woofer with a small rattle coming from the inside,so i knew it was going to break. Butt i did'nt know how soon,butt turned out to be very soon(within 20 min. of installing.) It also looks like it took a hell of a lot of abuse(a buddy of my tested an couple of Chaos 12's by wall socket 230 volts and a 16 A circuitbreaker and on 0,7 Ohm the coils where still intact and fresh). My Chaos looks like this

A couple of days ago i ordered a recone with woven in leads and carbon fiber dustcap. And i will ship out the frame and motor,to the man of AA/FI here in the Netherlands.

Thanks i also like the Chaos it is a very underrated sub,this is my second Chaos. I had a 12 before the 18.

So finally a couple of updates. Last week i upgraded my electrical with one small 40Ah battery,and had to change the layout of my amps.

And tomorrow i will have my 18 Inch back from being reconed, and it will be a hybride AA Chaos MK1/Fi SSD with woven in leads and nice carbonfibre dustcap.

A couple of pictures of the sub being reconed;

I will have my sub back tomorrow

And i bought a second hand component set from CDT Audio for a irresistible price. It wil be replacing my 5,25 component set from Gladen audio.

If its a AA build im going to follow this and I think I have them mids and I love how much mid bass I can get out of them. Keep the updates coming.

[Andreetje77]

I will try to keep the updates coming. The gladen audio 5,25 set has a great sound with very good mid(especially for 5,25 in my opinion) . Butt I think they will not keep up with the 18".

I have the 6.5 mids but mines keeps up with my Fi Q 15

Ok as promised a couple of pictures with a better camera,and in the car.

And inside its new home;

I am pleased even with the settings on my H.U with low power(max. volume 30 high is 50).
