Speaking of crossovers and such, here's where I'm at with the TMM's. Parts is parts, pieces parts. Dry layout... Assembled! And a close up. Baffle laid out... Test fit, yep it fits! Some feets in the works... Kinda modelling them after the Solstice towers. With black feet and baffle. Besides the cold, the only hold up has been bringing myself to commit to the front 3" port. Hope you guys enjoy.

The Wait is over. Just in time for our annual Black Friday SSALE. https://store.soundsolutionsaudio.com/subwoofers/soundsolutionsaudio/evil/ When your sub bass goal is nothing but supreme, unrestrained performance without compromise, the choice is the SSA Evil. The capabilities of the SSA Evil put it in very exclusive company at the zenith of the marketplace. This is where you look first for the ultimate 'ground pounder' that will not miss or muddy a note. Crisp and clean across the entire frequency range for those demanding outstanding linear performance thanks to an FEA optimized motor. Employing a massive triple stack motor, five sandwiched 10" progressive Nomex spiders, an anodized vented Aluminum former, a huge 4-layer 4" flat wound Aluminum coil and a towering 'Venturi' solid pole, the SSA Evil has the muscle to handle almost anything you can throw at it. The SSA Evil is also a top pick for extreme level SPL and bass-boxing competitors alike, while still having the composure for the elite home audio projects. A versatile monster that will meet the most critical low frequency demands while achieving extreme output levels when called upon. Sonic performance so vicious, it had to be deemed Evil. #SSAEVIL #EVILSUBWOOFERS #EVILINSIDE #ARRIVELOUD #SSA https://store.soundsolutionsaudio.com/subwoofers/soundsolutionsaudio/evil/

Some glam shots.

Pruned all new members since 7/15, renewed our IBP license which should activate Spam prevention again, and deleted most of the spam topics I saw, should be a clean forum again. Enjoy.

Where Im at this morning.

Hadn't picked it up yet. Did Sat night finally, at the farm now since my truck is still wounded. 2018 Polaris 1000 XP Sportsman base, but has all Premium options added and a lot other options. Bought it from a Polaris employee straight out of Roseau MN

They guy was amazed at what I was able to get out. I love doing work like this.

Sold the Mustang yesterday. Made a nice chunk.

Got a new piece of audio equipment for the first time in a while.

I started on a second Mustang couch this week. Worked out the quirks I don't like about the first one. Got the seat a little more raked out for us taller peeps too. THe initial framework assembled... Seat and side panels installed! This one's getting a little something extra. Using these trim off of a 50's Ranchero bed top to cap the edge. Corner shot.

On a lighter note, speakers have made it in the house! Had to give the wife a couple days to acclimate to them, so haven't hooked them up yet. Being as she didn't even know I was building them until over half way through. I pretty much knew the only caveat would be that she could place plants on them. lol

The TMM's coming along! Baffles cut, shellacked and sanded... and some primer... and finally the black! Feet carved to shape! A drill jig to keep things even. Awe and black for the feetsies too. Punching holes for the terminal cups. And on to the acoustic treatment!

Grandkids are awesome!!

Hit a bench pr this afternoon. Managed 1x5 @ 275 lbs, 1x6 @ 275 lbs, 1x5 @ 280 lbs for my top 3 sets. Felt really good too. Not too shabby for a 5' 10" 195 lbs mid thirties father of 3.

Another project of the week. I'm building two of these as Christmas gifts for my dad and stepdad. They are both Ford guys for life and obviously hard as fuck to find a gift for. As with any old person, it seems. Pictured is just the preliminary build and test fitting. Working on the patina and other details now.

Kudos on the work Neal!!! While not wrestling, I did cover Bare Knuckle #8 this past weekend. While not my article, here's the photos. The top prelim shots are on my IG. https://www.rocketsports-ent.com/knockouts-galore-at-the-bare-knuckle-fighting-championship-8-in-tampa/ J

We have finally released our new amp. It is a tiny tiny production run to see how people like them. Meant for the high end, SQ market, without the European price tag. If this model moves as well as I hope, it will help spawn another model in the line up soon. https://store.soundsolutionsaudio.com/ssa-dm150-2-2-channel-amplifier-150w-x-2-ch-or-500w-x-1-ch/ Introducing the all new SSA DM150.2 amplifier.

Our first amplifier in our high-end, sound quality, Class- A/B - Demon amplifier line. The SSA DM150.2 is the elite choice for that high end active front stage, premium passive components, and especially a sound quality sub (SSA Demon). We've incorporated direct inputs for those competition installs that use an external DSP and want their amp to be a pure gain block. Stellar looks to match the design and components. Don't let your speakers or your ears down, #levelup to the all new SSA DM150.2 amplifier. 150 Watts RMS X 2 @ 4 Ohm 500 Watts RMS X 1 @ 4 Ohm Angled Terminals for show quality installations Full Complimentary low distortion Class AB design Tiffany Style RCA connectorsFull Complimentary low distortion Class AB design Butterworth Crossover Filters for premium level performance An extra pair of input connectors for a direct input that will bypass the crossover so the amp can act as a gain block The op amps featured are TI chips w/BB technology high performance audio grade IC's Docking Pads® to reduce vibration & extend the life the amplifier DC, Short Circuit, Thermal & Overload Protection, on board fusing Diagnostic LEDs Specifications OUTPUT POWER @ 14.4V input RMS per channel at 4 Ohms 150 W x 2 CH RMS per channel at 2 Ohms 250 W x 2 CH RMS Bridged Mono at 4 Ohms 500 W x 1 CH RMS Mono at 1 Ohm N/A INPUT SENSITIVITY 200mV - 6.0V FREQUENCY RESPONSE 10Hz - 30KHz +/- 0.5dB THD LESS THAN 0.01% S/N RATIO > 103 dB CHANNEL SEPARATION > 91 dB DAMPING FACTOR @100Hz 4 ohm > 200 CROSSOVER RANGE High Pass, 12dB/Octave 80-1.2K Hz Low Pass, 24dB/Octave 10Hz - 250Hz Subsonic N/A Variable Bass Boost (0 to +12 dB bass boost at 45 Hz) Yes Phase Shift (0 - 180 degrees) No Fusing 3 x 40A Size (L x W x H) in 16.4 x 8.9 x 2.2

The kid landed a sorority! She must have really wanted that mf'er too, as she is paying the dues with her own money. Here I'm learning their gang sign! haha Thank you Neal for offering your help!

Ready to rip

Ended the day going to a baseball game. Won the championship! Memories for the boys

I hope at 99 I can still do this.

Last bit of spam for now, covering Train, Goo Goo Dolls, and Allen Stone tonight. 7 years and one day after my first state side concert coverage. What makes this special for me, is that Goo Goo Dolls were my first concert I attended with just friends at 16. J

Getting work! Had my Fu Dog and flowers on the back of my leg colored yesterday! One more session to go and that leg should be solid. LOt more area than one would think, to get a body suit.

Launched our first Class A/B 2 channel. Been wanting it for many years now.

Got a lot more work to do, but for now ... The "Green Dickle" is an official true "Phantom Dually" !!!
