Finally made a start on my new build this week Will be slow with updates over the next 1-3months, but in the end it should equal to one of the loudest cars in the country Its called mini mayhem due to it sharing the same equipment as this van:

http://www.talkaudio.co.uk/ipb/index.php/topic/294453-ascendant-audio-chevy-astro-the-mayhem/

Of course its on a much Smaller Scale, kit list will include:

2 Ascendant Audio Mayhem 18" Woofers

2 Pairs of Ascendant Audio 7" Mid range Speakers (4 in Total)

2 Pairs of Ascendant Audio Tweeters

2 Pairs of Bullet Horn Tweeters

Alpine 9886R

Imprint Sound processor

Audiocontrol Epic 160

Vibe Deltabox

Fusion Powerplant 4 Channel amp (4X 220wrms @2ohm)

Hifonics Brutus 2607D Bxi amp (will be upgraded to a Hifonics Maxximus )

210amp alt custom Fitted

4 XS Power D3100 Batteries

80sqft of sound deadening

Alot of expanding foam

Alot of MDF

Alot of Fibreglass

Started with a full interior strip except for the roof, once that was done I got my 2 packs of deadening and deadened the full car:

Thats it for now, more deadening to do over the weekend Will keep ye posted with updates

Well I have finally started on the woodwork side of things today, Got the roof lining down and out, measured up and cut a piece of MDF to suit. Used small metal brackets to tie the Piece to the roof, another run of MDF will go over this (18mm) Also removed the Handle for the sunroof, painted the glass black, and bonded it to the roof, will seal it tomorrow to make it water tight. Also made a start on my doorcards, looking very plain now but open to ideas on what to do to fill the gap on the outside of the card

Some pics:

More updates soon

Bit of an update, Took collection of my door speakers off Am on Friday, so I went about fitting them. One of the mid range speakers was faulty so sent it back over and should have my replacement one in the coming days Put 4 cans of expanding foam on the roof and some on the rear quarters, have marked out the second skin of the roof now in 18mm MDF, this will be cut and applied tomorrow all going well. Also cut a piece for the floor section which will be the size of the box for the Mayhems, will build it up over the next few days, should have a back wall and side walls up by the next time I update this. But here's pics of how it stands now in all its Ghetto Glory

I have set the cross over's using the Imprint processor so the front end is fully active, the """SQL""" out of these speakers is amazing, can get very loud and still stay crystal clear Plus the carbon fibre cones look the dogs danglys

More to come soon

What kind of vehicle is this exactly, I didn't see it posted. Looks as though you are off to a good start. Tuned in!

[Bob345 39]

lookin good!!! let us know how those mids sound

[Shogen 325]

holy ish!! insane looking build man... insane... watching this one....

[Notorious97200 339]

Why did you put the tweeters so far from the mids ? You have room to put them close.

Nice build ! Good work !

[QuinnyGT 4]

There's a few pics of the car itself, a Toyota Corolla only a baby 1.3litre engine not very common over in the states I'd imagine

The mids sound amazing, will get a small video of them playing tomorrow for you guys

And as for spacing of the mids and twwets, I dunno, I always space them like that, and alot of cars this side of the country do the same

Anyh ideas on what to do with the doors lads?? I have a big gap in them and wondering what to do to fill them with?? Was thinking 0 gauge door handles and the AA crest painted onto the coor card, I may even put another 2 sets of mids in there in time But thats when I have more money to spend on door speakers lol

I am digg'n the car, this should pound!

I think there's an echo in here!

Sweet lookin' ride!! Was thinking it might be a Saxo, bring on the build and all the pics!!

[emh9009 199]

Looks good, really like the front end on the car. Should like the rear a whole lot more here soon

[QuinnyGT 4]

Small update

Put the second sheet on the roof, this time 18mm MDF, also put the back wall in and made a start at the sides, all 36mm, will add another bit to the back wall in time. Also had the time to roughly calculate my internal volume before displacement is in the region of 17cuft, which leaves me with 5-6cuft for subs, 45's port, which should be enough I think

Some pics:

Still keeping it ghetto for the time being :D

More soon

[bassahaulic 155]

Looks good.

I like the equipment your using! From the Power wire, to the JL RCA's, to the Alpine Processor, all looks top notch.

[QuinnyGT 4]

Cheers man, Bought the JL's a while back now, ran through the car so I'm too lazy to change them The imprint is a great bit of kit once set up right, I spent 3 hours fine tuning but still ain't 100% to my taste yet

[sefugi 166]

Keep it coming!!

[j-roadtatts 1,129]

Looks good so far Quinny. Did you decide how you are going to finish the doors?

[QuinnyGT 4]

not yet buck, still figuring out what to do, A bit of stickerbombing and Graffitti the AA Crest on both doors seems to be my best bet so far

[QuinnyGT 4]

UPDATE TIME

Finally started at this again today, did the most awkward part of it today, bringing the side walls up to where it will meet the front baffle, alot of measuring, alot of cutting, alot of re measuring, alot of throwing the measuring tape and calling it all sorts but I have the box alot nearer completion now Should see the inside of the box finished this week, if I can get my hands on resin and hardener Some pics:

also got me a new back badge Defo ain't your average E10:

Less than 2 weeks before equipment lands Comments and criticism welcome

[QuinnyGT 4]

Another Small Update, Went at sealing up all the joints in the car with P40 Filler, will give this a sanding down and will coat in a layer or 2 of fibreglass as well Just need to measure out my first baffle, and then cut another 2 out of it so my baffle will be 3 X18mm= 54mm thick Also have bracing in the form of 2 M12 threaded bars, not thick enoug but will do for now until I can afford something alot bigger Also squeezed another can of foam into the roof 6days until the gear ladns, its Leaving the UK on Monday :) Some pics:

Bought another 2 sheets of 18mm yesterday, so now a total of 5 sheets of 18 and 1 sheet of 12 will be in the car Will have TRD Coilovers in the rear as of tomorrow too so suspension will be 100% as I will be changing arms bushing etc too Have Twin pot brakes too just waiting on Discs and Pads so I can put them on This is coming together at long last More Updates again soon

[MR_8 0]

Nice work so far, im droolng over those mids, nice speaker choices, cant wait to see those 18's

[QuinnyGT 4]

I've been waiting since November to see those 18's believe me there will be time spent alone with these subs before the go into the car

Must make a video of the mids, best front end I have ever had

[sefugi 166]

Keep doing work!!! Tuned in!!

[QuinnyGT 4]

Packed and ready for shipping Should have a very big update for ye over the weekend

[QuinnyGT 4]

Another little update, Increased thickness of the bottom and top of the box today, also did some more sealing with P40 and I measured the inside dimensions of the Box so Marko can calculate the Port Length Tomorrow will see the box finished with port installed and the third and final baffle I believe Saturday is D Day for the pallet so looking forward to that big shtyle Some pics:

More to come tomorrow
