Seeing as though most home audio drivers are meant for larger enclosured than most car audio drivers....there are a few other differances.... as for an EQ...no you don't need one...but a crossover is a must....another differance between active and passive is you have total control with an active system...unlike passives which are set by the manufactures

I am now the Virginia state champ in ModEx with scores of 85.5 and 83...average of 84.25 today.....World Finals here I come

gots me a week to get ready for state finals...then 2 weeks till world finals....the car is dialed in..now Mr. Buwalda gets to put the icing on the cake

As it states on there web-site Research & Development 100% U.S.A Heatsink: Extrusion, CNC Machine work 100% U.S.A Blank P.C. Board 100% U.S.A P.C. Board: Assembly & Final Assembly 100% U.S.A Final Quality Control 100% U.S.A Packaging 100% U.S.A Parts U.S.A., Mexico, Europe, & Asia they clearly say some of the parts are not U.S but as for the rest of the amp, it is. I know of only one MAJOR issue and that is with the Steel series, that is a turn off thump. It is up between Tru and JL Audio for amplifers for the Camry next year.

BINGO....the Billet series have caught my eye

some specs..... - Extreme Broad range Class AB Amplifiers - Absolute 100% QC conducted on all Amplifiers - 100% USA Made is the byproduct of our QC in which no other company can claim - Pre-Amp bypass

nope---no Zapco,Audison,Helix,Brax,Genenis,McCintosh...if you guys would have gotten it I would have told you..I wouldn't lie I only tell the truth

hahaha....funny

That is incorrect. Teamssaudio consists of more then 3 people. who are the other people? never seen or heard of them. just looked at the team section on ssa, and it states "coming sooon" Team SSA (Dave,Ramos and I) made people at the shows recognize ssa as a true force to be reckoned with in sound quality. don't believe me, ask tom shaw(former world champ),randy eddy(won elite top 30, but lost to dave in meca) if they know who team ssa is and i guarantee you that dave,ramos and i will be mentioned and the list goes on of competitors that are impressed with our cars and sportsmanship. Dave,ramos and I will be at Meca World finals. Any of you guys from ssa or "team ssa" are welcome to come by and get a demo. Webster, that is awesome that you guys have done well in MECA SQ. The thing is that we had not heard one single person come to the website, shop, or Icon support page and say they saw the Icon at a MECA SQ show. And in reality, very few people have heard of Tom Shaw or Randy Eddy, even though they are very good at what they do and have accomplished a great deal. So when mentioned in small world of MECA SQ, yeah you guys are going to come up and people will know those guys, but in the big picture, it is quite the opposite. I know that you guys gave out a ton of stickers and brochures to people that came and heard the cars, and that is very cool. But the effects of that were not seen on our end. So the relative perspective has to be considered, especially when we are solely internet based and run. Next, there are other associations and competitions outside of MECA SQ. We had a number of people compete early on in the season(s), (a few blazers one of whom is still active today, Aerostar van who is also still active, 2 door Tahoe, and a few others in the area of Phoenix some doing car shows too, but most important and notable of all, is the other owner of SSA, Mark did a number of shows and competitions. Mark had to stop doing competitions because we could not afford the constant expense of them. People have no idea how many hours he and I put in every week, and still make $0 from our efforts. So once again, we are grateful for the exposure and time you guys put in, but we are such a small company and in no way can we keep up with larger more established companies when it comes to funding/sponsoring, and we went above what most companies do anyway, that is a cold hard fact. But I am done talking about this since the "team" was "disbanded" anyway. We have to focus our money and energy on things that will keep the line going and at some point put money in our pockets. End of story. Aaron, if my .02 is not wanted here feel free to delete or edit my post. While I cannot and will not speak of webster, ramos, or dave in any negative light; I can only speak highly of Mark. The shows I was able to attend mark was there. Pushing the hell out of SSA. Schmoozing everyone he could about how good SSA is, and YET never talking down to anyone about what equipment they used, or how they were set up. I understand the fanancial aspect of him no longer going to shows, but I will tell you, he put one hell of a face on SSA, and I know the next time I get a chance to build a system, (whenever that may be) I will not hesitate to go for SSA. J I do not have anything to add...at this time at least

all guesses are wrong so far.....Jim, I said I was a nobody(since someone here thinks I am)

good guess....but nope....think alittle higher line product
