    Full tilt on the way to work. No stank! I'll post some updates/pics after I'm off today. Time to get loud! Thank you to my car audio bretheren!

    We will always try to put you on the right path. Its hard because a lot of things are preference based but we will give you as much info to help you figure out your system. Glad its better for you Travis!


  3. No. If the radio fuse is bad it wont work at all because the connection isnt being completed. The fuse in reference is your vehicle remote turn on for the radio. What we are saying is you are bypassing the vehicle "remote/key on" wire and giving it direct access to power. So basically either your fuse in the car went or you need to perform an exorcism on your car and radio.


  4. Hi Sonnie and welcome to SSA we ask that you post a tag with your items Stating the date and your SSA username and SSA logo. We appreciate the honesty of your post. Good luck with your sale.


  5. Run 1 12 icon in a 4th order 2:1 ratio. Best of both worlds. I can speak for the icon and say it is one of the best subs i have ever heard. I loved it so much i put 8 18s in an astro. I should mention I have had every ssa sub from dcon to evil. I have had dss ethos, jl w7, psi,nvx, american bass, pioneer, Sony, DC, RE and Fi. There is just something about the icon that outshines all them other subs with its heavenly bass.

    I do have rust on my magnet but everything else appears normal. 

    If my 1200watt signal is clipping then will a clipping 1200 watts really be that bad for a sub rated for 2000+?

    We had a squeek like issue with the zv4 18s and a slight smell but never got "hot" according to the lazer gun. Have you put your hand on the dustcap or cone area to check heat. As M5 said earlier your senses are your best weapon. Smell is typically the last warning you get. Listen while you play those songs and check for any stress noises. And place your hand on the cap it can be warm as it will create heat but use your noggin for too hot. Also the music you have may not be a clean signal aswell. Is it modded music?


  7. Is it burning coil or just warming glue?

    You should never have a burning smell but i have seen systems where the build house got glue on a coil and as it got warm it stunk. I am not a fan of sundown so i dont want to speak from a bias standpoint but you may want to scope the sub. I had issues with rust on motors on 2 zv4 18s that a customer had.

    Picking up my door panels from the salvage yard tomorrow. Yes, all four doors. Hoping to start on my dash pods soon housing a four and tweet combo. Think I'm going with eights low in the doors. 

    Updates?


  9. I seen them knobs on the pic and this poor man has the pedal to the metal and wondering why the gears wont change. We will take care of you boss and make sure that the beautiful piece of art you purchased will be playing to its full capability. Please share enclosure specs with us. LxWxH and port length and dimensions aswell. Since you shared pic of amp maybe pic of box aswell? Also your voltage at half ohm is taking a beating. Whats your volts stay steady at while you were playing?


  10. As a side note when i had the 8 18 icons i had two soundstream 6500s that i was running at 16volt and the difference from 14 to 16 was noticeable...... On my pockets. It was such a hassle if its going to be a daily then the KISS method is what to follow. When you mix 14 and 16 and drive it daily it turnz fugly.
