    Billy Jack Thread Dumping Thread

    Honestly couldn't care less who owns another rebranded turd company, just stated what I read on their very own blog. Like I have said before, it's no big deal to buy a lot of 2000 units, and stamp your name on them, and bam your a audio company. It's even easier to be a internet dealer, you carry very little stock, and have everything built as it's ordered. You boys wanna buy some Billy Jack 5k's, I will call up zenon and have them slap a badge on some 5k's and cash in. Lmfao!!!!!

    So who determined the internet was right, and the blog on sonic isn't? How do you know your right, it could be the blog is right and he sold it or never owned it in the first place. Do any of you know the guy personally? Dont say "dont believe everything you read on the internet" then later state what you read on it as fact.

    (2) Fi BTL 15" - 15000 watts in the trunk

    Nice looking work. Let us know how it sounds. I'm going to be doing roughly half of what you got. 1 15btl on 3500 watts. Just curious what kind of output it's going to have. I'm sure yours will be a far better install as I'm not gonna dynamat unless I do it later on. I don't have as much room as you do one sub should provide enough output for my little Cruze.

    Gomer I wasn't wrong the employees at sonic were. And it wasn't a phone call, it's on there blog go read it for yourself. I myself read online that they owned NVX, but after reading their blog thought they wouldn't lie, or not know who they work for. It would be like me reading Arron and Mark owned SSA then coming on this forum and a employee saying no they do not own it. Who would you believe. And if they truly do own it, they need to remove the post from their blog, cause that just makes them look stupid.

    Maybe somebody should tell the employees at sonic, cause they there selves say they don't own nvx. Which it's very possible that who ever is answering questions over there has no idea who he or she works for, it happens.

    You read that on a audio forum but don't believe it, even sonic electronics will tell you they have no house brands, their just a whole sale house. According to there representative, there a new branch of either Maxxsonic or the company who makes PPI. I can't remember which one he said but it was one of the two. If I remember correctly Maxxsonic acquired the company who produces PPI but it's still sold under the original company's name what ever it is. Epsilon I think it was. And he also said they where a copy of either PPI or MBquart which is not terrible, there decent for there price range, they work at least but definitely nothing to write home about. I heard a wall of there 12's ran off the 1200's and I wasn't impressed. For the huge build it was it should have been far louder and hit way harder. It was a one note wonder and muddy at that. The highs and mods where decent they sounded ok and had plenty of output. To me is sounded like a wall of power acoustic. If he had a wall of SA12's and similar size Sundown amps it would be far superior in output and sound quality. And there in the same price range or very close.

    Yes I did ask about the synergy, and thanks for the input, I was just explaining to dick head that NVX is a rebadged turd like so many more and not the next big thing. And it's most definitely not a sonic house brand, it's being sold every where even flee markets lol.

    Which amp is right for my NVX Components

    It's all ohms law. Amplifiers are almost always better off ran at a higher impedance for a lessor load, but running the lower ohm loads is where you run into problems. Normally higher impedance speakers sound better and have more fidelity then demanding lower impedance drivers. And it not just the amp or the speaker that gives you your sound it's the two working in unison. One amp over another can have a huge impact on bass response, presence, treble, dynamic range, and how loud it sounds. And with all these manufacturers inflating the specs you can never tell what exactly your getting, so I prefer to get the biggest amp I can afford, and adjust accordingly. My money is on the bigger amp will be better for his application.

    Which amp is right for my NVX Components

    Yes I already said that. And I didn't say one amp would sound better, I said a bigger amp ran at a lower level, as in the gain turned down would sound better then a smaller amp ran at its max, as in the gain turned up past clipping causing distortion. I see that a lot, not everybody knows it's not a volume knob. But even if he knew and didn't run it into clipping, more power is almost always better. Double the wattage should give a little more output if nothing else, and that's what I was getting at.

    Which amp is right for my NVX Components

    I actually meant I run my subs at a higher ohm load to put less stress on my amps, and electrical to achieve better sound quality, and reliability. But running a higher wattage amp at less then full tilt will still help achieve a better sound then a smaller amp at its max capability's. Sorry I should have said that in my original comment.

    Let me put a little perspective on this subject. Basically there are two ways audio products make it to the market. One is the higher end brands do R and D and build their own products or contract a build house to build their design. The other is a "company" based in a storage unit some where, will order any number of pre-built units, ranging from trash, to descent, and have their astetics added to them and market them as the next big thing. There are so so many rebranders it's hard to keep up with them all. Some are. NVX, Lanza, pile, PPI, Soundstream, legacy, boss, power aquastic, US amps, stinger, Hifonics, MBquart, crunch, autotech, power bass, viper, kole, pyramid, precision power, visonic, dual. And a couple of these company's will have upper level units built to spec but for the most part it's dog turds with a new name and look. Then you have the other company's who actually build, or have there designs built to spec. Some of these are (the Harmon group) JBL, Infinity, Harmon Kardon. Sundown, JL, Rockford fosgate, Phoenix gold, Macintosh, orion, air research, audison, hertz, DD, FI, Incriminator, nacamichia, Q logic, kicker, DC, and many more. And some of these may even have lower end rebranding themselves. Then you have around 200 Chinese, Korean, US, Tawain, Japanese, German, and Brazilian build houses, that either rebadge or build to spec. So forgive me if I can't remember every build house, every sub, and every board, but I know a rebadge when I see it and NVX is a little of both. The cheaper amps are rebadged PPI and a few more rebadged brands, and there higher end is rebadged Korean built.

    And Shawn never stops thinking his opinions are facts, and those are the so called facts I argue over.

    Which amp is right for my NVX Components

    The 600 will work slightly better for your speakers, just because it will put out more clean RMS then the smaller amp. And it want be working as hard either. More power is always good. When I do sq style installs on my own cars, I always buy a amp around 2-3 times the recommended RMS and run it at a higher ohm load, turned down so I get as much clean un-clipped power as possible, without straining the amp. But either one will work fine I like the Orion stuff.

    Nope not even close. NVX is owned by Maxxsonic which produces Hifonics, MBquarts, PPI (current stuff), Polk, crunch, and a couple of other copy brands. It's low to mid level stuff built in China at best. They use the exact same internal components as the others with a different case. Some of the other brands rate lower or higher. Like the PPI 1000.1 is identical inside to the NVX1200.1 And of course there are Amp dyno results of them both doing slightly over what there rated for on you tube. Well the NVX at least like i said the PPI is rated at a 1000 but those Dino's apparently ain't right anyways. Or if they are there not consistent. I have seen several vids of the exact same amps doing numbers all over the place. I could see a small fluctuation from one amp to the next but not by how much there off. 500-1000watts on a 3500 I don't think so. About the only thing on sonic that isn't maxsonic is Alpine, Image dynamics, wet sounds, JL, kicker, JBL, DC, and Rockford. I think soundstream may be owned by them now but I'm not sure on them so I'm not gonna say one way or the other.

    Where your original off topic comments, that I commented on moved? He asked about NVX at sonic, and JBL, not SSA>everybody who doesn't pay you. Whoops SSA>all, my bad let the cat out of the bag.

    The new SSAudio.com Products page.

    Yes I see it now I hit amps on the first page and it took me to the page that says coming soon. I tried the subs and it did work and it's a very nice layout with some really high quality picks. I really like the new look.

    NVX brand

    If you want better sound go round like 51/4, 61/2, 63/4, as 6x9's aren't all that great even the better name brand stuff. If you notice all the high end SQ cars are running 6.5's and tweeters. Well actually there running 3 way active, like a tweeter, mid range, and mid bass round speakers. But I wouldnt suggest this for a daily driver as there hard to get right. I myself usually run 61/2 components in factory locations.

    And although SSA has excellent service, M5 has single handedly ruined this site. I honestly have no problem with you correcting wrong information, but you have made SSA a place only a pro can get anything, but a smart ass comment from yourself. I was always told there are no stupid questions, just stupid answers. So basically if you need anything, but a opinion on SSA>everything else, your screwed. And I understand if people don't want to answer the same questions over and over, but with the search button unable to find even the simlest of topics, what's a noob, or not a expert to do? Seriously, I have typed in simple things, like "US2000X" and it will say "there are no threads matching this topic. Then as soon as you ask anything your met with the same old "goals, JL or any thing not cheap sucks, and google is your friend, but we aren't."

    Yet again you do the very thing you falsely accuse me of "failed reading comprehension". If you could read what I said you would see I said "for my nephew" as in not me, and just in case you can't comprehend that, it's my sisters son. I had warned him, but he didn't listen and it lasted a while and they replaced it any ways. I was amazed I wouldn't have warrantied it. And also I never said I called sonic, again another fail, I said I have always got a answer from JL within 2-3 rings. But no doubt you will not be able to comprehend any of this and just twist my words to further your relentless harassment of me. And I also didn't rip off anyone I paid to have my Subs and amp installed by a JL dealer and of course they didn't even bother to set anything so with the cover on the amp I couldn't see the gain or bass boost and assumed they would have done it and burnt up a 13w7. Then after JL replacing it I thought surely when I pointed out their mistake they would surely set it this time, but nope and burnt W7 #2 up. After that I picked the 3rd sub up myself installed it, and set my own gains, and it's played to this day no problems what so ever. I also alerted JL to their reputable dealers failure to do anything but take my money and burn JL for nothing more then laziness. And I will never spend another sent with them. Now go ahead and twist my words to make me out the bad guy!

    The new SSAudio.com Products page.

    Is it supposed to take you back to the same old site you have had for years when you click on amps, or subs? Or is it just not finished yet like you said, and will be the product page once it's finished?

    NVX brand

    SSA> all? I wouldn't go that far. All though they do have excellent customer service, I would say more like SSA=very few>95% of others. Sonic warrantied a collososs amp ran at .25ohm for my nephew and JL replaced not one, but 2 burnt coils for me, free of charge which was obvious abuse. They have also answered every question I have ever asked, after 2-3 rings of a phone call. Does SSA have a phone?

    Biggest dude on SSA....

    First of if you live in Michigan, the District of Columbia, or California they can not descriminate against you based on your weight. Also some city's have passed laws to banning the practice. I don't know all of them but I would check into that. Now if you have a medical condition causing you to be obese like diabetics, you would fall under the Americans with disibility's act. But if it's just poor diet and a seditary life stile and you don't live in one of these city's or states your stuck.

    And I myself have gained and lost hundreds of pounds over the years. I'm 6'4" 265 pounds but I have been as high as 315 and as low as 155 after a traumatic car accident. I myself wrestled, and played all 3 sports in school, and was very athletic until a few head injury's derailed my life. Whole Foods and cardio will be your best friend in your fight to shed the weight. I myself hate cardio, but it's a great way to slim down without gaining a lot of muscle mass. I myself like to use weights to workout, but I'm not trying to get smaller, just healthier and stronger. Funny thing is when I was joining the army the very place where they measure for BMI is where I carry the most fat on my body. My recruiter even called Meps and told them I was in incredible shape, and could pass the test to get out of boot camp already, but I carried all my fat where they measured, and my bmi was 1% to much, but it didn't really show my true health. Of course they said rules are rules and I would have to get it off, so I ran with the recruiters with garbage bags taped around my stomach and neck. I would come in from a 10 mile run and the bag would be full of sweat, and hanging to my nuts. Sorry for the long response and good luck in your fight bro.
