    1997 Honda Accord Special Edition

    They are the SSA prototypes
  2. This is a great car. I am the third owner of this car. It has 160k miles on it. Full working A/C and is automatic. The reason I am selling this car is am going on a mormon mission and won't be back for two years. I'm looking to get 5k or best offer. So onto the car. This car is 1997 honda accord midnight purple special edition. Here is a HUGE list of the features and upgrades to this car. Viper alarm system Blue LED (Part of alarm system) Viper LED (Part of alarm system) 2.25 magnaflow muffler from the front to back Extra bright headlights (HID 8k lights) 2 18 inch SSA subwoofers (handles 4000 watts RMS) Please note that this car does NOT have a backseat because the subwoofer box takes up the whole backseat! Aftermarket front speakers (Infinity Cappa's 6.5) Stinger Voltage meter in car Upgrade headunit (aftermarket radio, with USB and AUX cord connections. Also plays CD's and radio perfectly) New brakes New fluids New headers Intake (blue) New calibers (blue) New radiator New gas tank Sundown Audio amp (4500.1D) Extra battery (HC1800) 270amp alternator (DC power) Less then a year old tires Sound deadened floor (All of the carpet has been taken out and has been sound deadened to the floor so you will not hear road noise) Yellow top battery (under the hood) Tinted windows all around Upgraded corner lights Upgraded license plate light (bright white) I know that most people don't post the "bad things" about the car but i will go ahead because i feel it's needed The top of the car is starting to experience a little bit of ware. I noticed this after taking it through the machine washes. I HIGHLY recommend you hand wash this car to discontinue the ware to the pain on top of the car. There is also a small but noticeable dent to the front driver door. It was a parking lot hit and run but luckily not much paint was removed and is actually not as bad as it could have been. Honestly, this is my first car and i have done nothing but keep this car in pristine condition. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me anytime. Text or call anytime. I do work but feel free to honestly contact me anytime. 480-309-1603 My name is Austin, hope to talk to you soon! And here is some pictures Craigslist: http://phoenix.craig...2868025421.html Please only text or call because i don't check this forum that often! Thanks for your time!
  3. Hey guys, just to give you a low down on what i have. I have the 2 18 inch SSA prototypes 4,000 RMS being pushed with 1 (for now, soon to have two) AQX3500.1 in a 1997 honda accord SE, and a DC 270 XP alternator. Now, i live in Arizona which i know a lot of other people do who are on SSA forum. My amp is located in the trunk along with the battery. My box sits in the backseat. I am having HUGE cooling problems with the amp because no AC can get to the trunk and the trunk is forced to deal with full exposure unlike most SUV's. The fan helps but i still can't quite seem to get it out of protect and if it does, it takes 5 minutes with the trunk open and the fan running. Not to mention when i start driving again and "pounding" the amp just runs back into protect because it's being overheated. What are some ideas? I talked to some people and they suggested building a custom box for the amps, one to pull in air and one to pull it out. I feel like i still would have problems seeing as the fan isn't doing anything as it sits now. What do you think?

    Feedback on SSA Customer Service

    I sent my SSA prototype 18 inch 4000 RMS in to get reconed after it caught on fire due to a malfunction in the sub. I sent this in 1 1/2 + months ago and can't seem to get into contact with Mark or the build shop. I know SSA is behind on orders and etc. but it would nice to get some contact at the very least.

    Yeah, i understand that and that makes total sense. But lets but this in real context. Yes, i am the second hand owner of this 270xp which was promised by kyle that kyle would still give warrenty to whoever bought it from the first hand owner. Me and the first hand owner had a long talk about this. Anyways, i finally get this awesome alternator, put it in my car and things are great. My volts are sitting high and i am loving it. The alternator snaps, which isn't my fault. This also makes it hard to go to work when you don't have an alternator. So i call and leave a voicemail to kyle. No response that day. Call again and leave another voicemail. No response again. Call the day after that, finally talk to kyle. He talks to me about helping me out and is awesome. Plus i am not "acting like a child" because there was not reason to. He tells me to call a month later to get a RMA number because they need to fix the casting. I call again when the month is exactly up, again no answer. Voicemail. Then i call everyone at DC power, no one answers. Then i call the "general" desk and get this guy named Steve. Now in talking to Steve things are good and i explained i already talked to kyle and that he said he would take care of me and all i needed was an RMA number. Well Steve asks for more information about my car. I told him i was a second hand owner. That's when he shut me down and told me that i shouldn't even be calling. That the warrenty is void and wouldn't listen to me after that. So i got upset and raised my voice. Trying to explain to this guy Steve that i just need an RMA number and that kyle said i would be good. So at this point i am upset, trying to get to work, and screwed. So then the next day or so, i "Called out" DC power for "lying" to people or telling people when things were going to be done when they actually weren't. Such was the case with the guy who waited 2 years for a specialized bracket and alternators. Anyways, i am not saying it was the right thing to do but i did it. Then after that, rob tells me that he won't fix my alternator and that after i had already sent it to him, he was going to send it back to me, broken. So then i called the original owner and the ONLY REASON DC power fixed my alternator is because the Orginal owner told him that i would just send it to him and he would send it back to DC power and go the long way. So honestly, you can tell me that i was acting like a child. That's okay that you think that. And honestly everyone can think that. But when you are trying to get to work everyday to pay bills and make ends meet, swapping family cars, tell me how you wouldn't be frustrated. I know that you won't understand but honestly. You don't know both sides of the story, not even a full one side of the story. So please stop acting like I am conducting myself like a child, and please stop trying to put me down and say i am wrong. You can if you want, but at least here i am asking you to stop. Oh well. I was just upset because of DC power not answering or returning phone calls, giving me a product that isn't supposed to break but ends up snapping, and having to wait for so long. I am happy with the alternator but not with the customer service. That's all.

    Okay. That makes sense. Rob made it sound like he made one special for you then sold it. Also another solid point. They do handle each situation differently. But why can't they do what they did for yours? Seeing as some people have had worse experience? I wasn't bad mouthing them. I was exploiting what they said really. Any I didn't through a fit. If you knew both sides of the story you would understand. But that's okay. Yeah sorry I took it the wrong way. I was in a rush. I apologize.

    I was honestly just wondering. I wasn't even trying to be rude. I am not sore about it and like phi said, my issue is resolved. Im not trying to bash anyone, I even said that. Also, I was just asking. I just felt like there is a lot of people that had the same problem as the OP and they don't get free alts. Some of them waited longer. however, I am not asking for one or complaining. Just wondering. my situation wasnt as bad as most peoples.
