    best 15 and amp for my money

    i have a nice HU right now. I just really want an f90bt(pioneer premier). It just a coin toss decision on which i should buy first. if i buy the HU first I can use it with my old subs for a while, if i buy the amp/sub first i can use it with my current HU(kenwood excelon kcd-x692, friend is letting me borrow indefinitely). Either way I'm gonna be happy. My original plan was to buy the HU first, but if i get paid enough soon, I'm gonna take advantage of some of the deals. ex. Audibel Customs free box w/sub deal, Sundown's presale deal on SAE-1200d, etc. If I don't have the cash before these sales end, I'll probably buy my new HU first. Keeping electricity, cable and water at the house is more important than the audio in my car. That's why it will take a couple of paychecks(maybe even a month or 2 per part) Basement?????LOL Baton rouge is south Louisiana. LSU has a few building with basements on hills, but most of the state is at or below sea level. Myself and a few friends will be doing the installs. We can do it individually by ourselves, but we like to get together and take too long, forget parts, and curse at vehicle panels. We do good work, but it always takes longer than expected. Oh well, that is the fun part for me. i enjoy installing stuff Im understand your situation and just like you when it comes to car audio, I buy in sections and install what I can when I can. But if you want to get rid of the radio and give it back to your friend then get the H/U because sundown is going to have the amp on presale for some months and still at a reasonable price when it comes out. By what will please you first and get your system going in the direction you want (if you buy your subs and amp right now remember box, wires, terminals, connectors, fuses and whatever else will be needed to complete the install just to listen to it). Maybe once you start working me and getting more hours you may be able to up your budget on sub and amp, who knows? i see what your saying about the HU first deal. That was my plan before I saw the deals.I might still get it first. It runs $650-$725, depending on where you find it. My budget for the sub/amp is a number I arbitrarily decided that I maybe should not cross. Here is a simple layout of my finances with the new job: $9/hour(i'm an uncertified pharm tech. it goes up to about $11.25 once i'm certified in about 3-4 months) I average about 30 hours a week my bills equal about $350/month I spend about $120/month on gas the rest I can save, excluding food and DAF(dick-around-fund)not sure how much I spend on those, but there is always a corner or two that could be cut I added it up one time for school and I spend about $700/month if i don't change anything(ex. i eat out a lot, go to movies a lot, etc)

    I'm aware of the presale situation. I did a little math. Here is how it stacks up(provided I can get the cash quick enough) SSA Icon 15D2 + Sundown SAZ-1000D Combo: $579 box:$135 total:$714 SSA Icon 15D2:$295(free box if purchased from audibel customs)(before Sept 30.) SAE-1200D-$260-$280(depending on what month I pay the presale) total:$555-$575 If i make the deal, i might ask if i can just come pick up the box. Its about 45 minutes away

    Summer sale will be extended

    How much does an SSA Icon 15 cost from you? Also can you build a box that will fit the sub right but also fit in the trunk of an 05 Camry without putting the seats down? The price of the sub woofer does not change, what you are getting is a very well built box for free! yeah. After i posted it , i found his SSa price sheet. Same low price as the SSA store
  6. I have neon tubes under the dash on my 05 Camry LE. The switch for the tubes is mounted on the trim under my steering column. I want to move it and my wired remote bass boost to the spot where the ashtray is. I can not figure out how to get to that part of the dash. It doesn't pop off when I pull and I fear I will destroy it. I don't see any place to unscrew it at. Any ideas? Also, how about removing the guts of the cigarette lighter and putting the button part over the bass knob? You would twist the"lighter" to turn up the bass. I've see some turn their lighters into their push-button start, so i know my idea can't be that hard

    btw, I've only been on here for a few days and I've stumbled across pics of your boxes. WOW. I'm amazed at the quality you are putting out at any price(much less the low prices you have). Plus, LOuisiana FTW.

    great prices! I have a Z15 on the way now. Thinking about the 1200 also cause Jacob is getting nice with these prices. That could leave you even more money to spare. Either way you won't be dissapointed. That sounds killer. I just hope they are still there in a month or 2 when I have the cash. I get my first paycheck from the new job next Wednesday. Still gotta buy my new head unit before i upgrade my sub situation

    no worries. besides, that package with the icon and the saz-1000d is looking pretty tasty. I'll probably end up purchasing from the SSA store, anyway.(so you guys will get my cash regardless, lol)

    Well since you stated a budget this combo will suit you well: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/store/products/SSA-Icon-15D2-%252b-Sundown-SAZ%252d1000D-Combo.html That is looking like a good candidate for me. Now I just gotta save up for my new head unit( Pioneer Premier f90bt) then the next stop is sub town, population:15"

    As far as a box is concerned, I 'm probably going with Audible Customs. I like his prices(not to mention, he's from Louisiana) and his attention to customer service(never dealt with him, though). btw, http://www.soundsolu...500D-COMBO.html That is an awesome combo and great price, but a little more than I wanna spend. If possible, I wanna stay in-and-around $600 for the amp and the sub.
