$600 Ballin On A Budget Build

[PHATBOi 38]

This is my $600 build. Think I did a pretty good job with the gear for the budget I had. What do you think?

SA-12D4 on the AB VFL-100.1 @ 2 ohms in a BHE 2.0 @ 30Hz Enclosure

Waiting on a few things to be shipped then the install will begin. Thanks for looking.

[PHATBOi 38]

Seleniums will be behind door panel. They still play fine, just ugly. Can't complain for $20, lol.

Im liking the Sundown and the VFL 100.1, iv got the same amp and its got nice power on a pretty small footprint.

[mccleery3 166]

Old school Hifonics FTW!! I'm old enough to remember these when they came out new.....LOL! Looks like a nice little bunch of equipment for the budget

[Ohjay 116]

Not too shabby, I like the old school Eagle.

[bassahaulic 155]

Very nice! Good deals.

[PHATBOi 38]

Thanks guys! Here is a vid of my box and sub in BassinBuick's 75 Buck Truck on an EarthQuake PH-D2 at 2 ohms for roughly 2K.

[bassahaulic 155]

No where near 2k......

[PHATBOi 38]

I don't know anything about that amp, just that he told me it would do around 2K at 2 ohms and that is what my sub is wired to. I was guesstimating. Next time you can drop by and clamp it for us.

[Freshh 11]

Is he really tweaking at 0:46 lol and good job for such a low cost!!

[PHATBOi 38]

Just talked to Kevin from Skar and struck a deal. Will be replacing the SA-12D4 with a VVX-12D2 in a few weeks when he gets back in town. Get my AB 100.1 up to full power!

SKAR and T.U.P. FTMFW!

[PHATBOi 38]

When the 1500 Skar amp comes out I will be swappin the AB100.1 out for a matching sub/amp combo!

Cool Story

why bother? you wont notice a difference in ouput. if you on a low budget why waste money on this fanboy stuff..

[PHATBOi 38]

I choose to run Skar because I see a quality product at an affordable price point, I like to rep my local companies (Audiopipe in Miami, Crescendo in Sarasota, and Skar in Tampa, FYI), and my team is sponsored by Skar. If that makes me a "fanboy" then I guess I'm just another SKAR AUDIO FANBOY and proud.

Oh, btw, it is a cool story bro. Thanks.

hes asking why would you waste money buying an amp that will gain you nothing over your current amp when you said you were on a budget?

[An-i-no 86]

Cool Story

Lol @ you making fun of him for posting what equipment he's gonna use in HIS build log. If you don't like Skar that's cool, but damn.

Oh, and what's wrong with having a matching sub and amp? The money from selling the American Bass amp should almost if not pay or it completely so not much cash will be lost?

This.

[PHATBOi 38]

Gettin stuff ready. Everything should be delivered by tomorrow and the install will start in the afternoon. Hope to be done Thur night or early Fri morn.

My Helpers:

[PHATBOi 38]

Waitin on my 0 gauge amp kit, second set of rca's, and the DEH-3200UB to get here and then I will be startin the install this afternoon! Can't wait.

[bassahaulic 155]

Make sure that battery can't tip over. Wouldn't be fun if it did....

[mccleery3 166]

looks like you've got lots of help....

[PHATBOi 38]

Yes, batt will be secured before it's all said and done with. I usually use an AGM batt, but had this one laying around. Might just get a house garbage can from Wally World and cut it down to make a battery case for it to set in.

Love my helpers. They actually ask about what things are and what they do while I'm installing them. They both show alot of interest in car audio, lol.

so on a budget and buying a skar 600w subwoofer instead of using the SA 600w subwoofer which has been tested and proven on thousands of watts.

I liked the build till you changed that.

i hope you will be happy with it.
