    cant decide between a PPI P900.4 or an US Acoustics Barbara Ann. Smaller footprint or matching amplifiers, what to do?

    1. jcarter1885

      jcarter1885

      Yeah Im thinking that as well, considering I may upgrade to an AA 3800 for my sub amp. Thanks for the input man.

      Hell yeah thats a sweet ass amp. What subs do you use? Or are you still planning?

    Eric Stevens is back with Oncore Audio, horns will be updated as well as a list of other products. I cant wait, guess iIl hold out on 8" mids for the moment.

    sucks to hear about Derrick Rose, looks like he might be this generation's Penny Hardaway or Grant Hill.

      It's so sad. I like this player a lot.

      Me and you both man, it sucks to see all the hard work he put in just to get to the NBA get hampered by injuries.

    I always have fun at Pick-N-Pull, spent all day taking parts off one car just to put them on another. Tired but it was worth it.

      love pick and pull ,back in 2003 I converted a Mazda 626 automatic to a 5 speed for under $500

    Im guessing somebody told there friends from other boards about SSA and bandpass 4th order enclosures. Because every recent, horrible thread is just about that. Haha, i think its hilarious.

    1. Aaron Clinton

      Aaron Clinton

      4th orders are popular now as they have a stronger peak, but tend to have poorer frequency response, so in todays market where SQ is less of a focus...

      They want spl from cheaper subs. But sound good to.

    3. Jay-C76

      Jay-C76

      It's a fad....

      they want to be loud. Like Aaron said it comprises sq. They just don't understand it requires a ton of wasted space.

    Love it when I go to Home Depot and they make my cuts for me for free, time to start building.

  11. jcarter1885

    that new Crescendo Encore 10k though :drools:

  12. jcarter1885

    Aaron or Mark, when will the other amps be available for purchase from US Acoustics? Preferably the Nick, 2500 monoblock. Thanks

    1. Aaron Clinton

      Aaron Clinton

      We don't have a date just yet. I believe the 3500watt Big Ben might be ahead of the 2500w Nick in terms of time line.

    2. jcarter1885

      jcarter1885

      Fast reply, appreciate it Aaron.

    3. Aaron Clinton

      Aaron Clinton

      No problem.

    Beyma 8G40s ordered, SB Acoustic SB17NRX35-4 for sale.

  14. jcarter1885

    i have a 10% off coupon from usspeaker.com that i dont plan on using. If seriously interested pm me, must be used by 11/28/14.

  15. jcarter1885

    I go to Fi's website everyday hoping to see the BTL added to the lineup, love those SP4 prices though.

    According to facebook, Obsidian Audio is pulling out of car audio.

    Hey Aaron or Mark, is there a way to increase the photo upload size on the SSA Gallery? Currently it is at 2mb, no biggie if not just wanted to keep all my pictures in one place.

      Try it now, I just bumped up the limits for members for upload size.

    3. jcarter1885

      jcarter1885

      I just tried and it still said "Error, the photo you are trying to upload is too big." The file i was trying to upload was only 2.4mb

    4. Aaron Clinton

      Aaron Clinton

      grrr, I will try again soon to mess with the settings

    removed old tint, time to go get it redone

  19. jcarter1885

    Decided to finally go buy tools I need to build my own enclosures, spent 70 bucks between Lowes and Harbor Freight. Still need a few more clamps, mdf, router and carpet.

    1. pmureika

      pmureika

      I never had much luck with the cuts from them.

    2. jcarter1885

      jcarter1885

      Just find the right person who understands what you want.

    3. pmureika

      pmureika

      I just can't get them to cut what I want to spec. the manager told me only within a 1/4". Most don't come that close!

    American Bass XFL or an Obsidian OAv.3 for a temp. sub setup. Anybody on here use both of them and willing to add any input, would be greatly appreciated.

    1. hdrox88

      hdrox88

      If it is only temporary, I'd probably go for what is cheaper. Or has the lowest margin for loss on resale.

    2. jcarter1885

      jcarter1885

      Price is the same for both.

    mids ordered, I got me an all SB Acoustics front stage.

    1. j-roadtatts

      j-roadtatts

      what mids did you grab?!

    2. jcarter1885

      jcarter1885

      SB Acoustics SB17NRXC35-4 mids to go with my SB Acoustics SB29RDNC-C000-4 tweeters. Waiting on the FedEx man as we speak.

  22. jcarter1885

    this industry is becoming more monkey see monkey do, well I seen a youtube video where he did this.

  23. jcarter1885

    should of done this awhile ago but finally made a rear frame ground, my amplifiers will probably thank me later.

  24. jcarter1885

    These SB Acoustic SB29RDNC-C000-4's are the best set of tweeters I have ever had a pleasure to listen to. Output is ridiculous and the fidelity is phenomanal, cant wait to get my SB Acoustic mids. These little puppies are heavy, well worth it.

    1. hdrox88

      hdrox88

      Nice! Makes me question my xs28s after swapping to seas for the ID mids.

    2. jcarter1885

      jcarter1885

      I never heard the xs28s so I cant compare. Just glad I finally made the jump, ive been eyeballing them for the longest. Id say go for it. After talking to ///M5, im leaning towards the Seas ER18s myself.
