Hey ladies and gents, New to this board, seems like a great place to find info... I saw someone with 77,000 posts!!! That's crazy, and there must be really dedicated members on here. I've had upgraded substages for my cars for a while, mainly concentrated on quality, but my taste definitely improved in the past few years. I'm a pro audio guy too, being a producer of electronic music so I've decided to finally go with a completely custom build in my dream car (which I just recently acquired also). I've acquired all the pieces for my new build brand new, I've been looking for these pieces for months and got some amazing deals: mObridge DA3 with MOST input $450 Fro…

Hey Guys just wanted to say whats up to all the members of SSA, Ive been on ROE and CA for a while now, dont know why it took me so long to get here ,

Just what these forums need, another car audio nut! I do MECA, I do M2, I do DB2... I am a mod at www.realcaraudio.com I am a .com... www.spkrman.com

i was told there was a dealer who dealt with this site for high output alternators. I was wondering if anyone knew who that is so i could speak to them privately. I want to buy one for a present.

New here i like checking out new forums i'm in and out of term pro alot and have competed in db drag for some years now. I own a audio shop and like I said I like to keep my ear to the ground on new products and techniques. I currently am waiting to get my new ride out but in the past I've ran DD,Image, crossfire, re, premier,us,lanzar(one of my favorites), and alot of other crap.. last year I ran a 96 cavi with 3 lighting strike 15" in a wall with 19 cubes and bout 300 sq of port it ran 149.9 daily lol i love my sleepers. hope to see what this forums like

First post! Whoo! Anywho. I was trying to setup my sig and it says I may only use 2 images and 1 url. thing is, I see others members with many of each. Do I have to make a certain number of posts before I can get setup the way I want to?

hey all. im new to the forum, but not to car audio. currently running (2) 10" SE's off a RE12.1 in a 92 accord, everything firing forward and sealed off from the trunk. they sound sweet as hell. might not post much, but im sure i will be hanging around.

Well built this Powerwheel for my son to compete in USACi and MidwestSPL competition. I had an old 12" pioneer sub in it but now I am thinking about building a box for an 8" sundown. I have an SA-8 v1 sitting in my garage I am going to play around with. Right now I am using an 10yr old Sony MP70 headunit, along with a 12yrd old American Bass CX-1500 Amplifier. I will post some pictures up as soon as I get my thread count up enough. Plus for some reason my company has Photobucket blocked at work. So it might be tonight before you see anything

Hello everybody just got a single Sundown E-15 v.3 and putting it in a 4.00 cu ft slot ported box with a Hifonics BRX1116.1D 1100 watt amp should bump preety good. The last system i had was not vary good i had two pyle 12s 250 watt rms subs with a 1000 watt crunch amp one of them stoped working after about 4 months.

Hey everyone B00Mbap here for PA. I've been lurking around the forum for the past couple of days and I like it so far. I've been into car audio for awhile now and got my first system a couple of months ago, but I'm now looking into new equipment and looking to get louder. I'll be shopping around for new stuff in the near future but until then I'll keep researching and enjoying my current setup. My current system.... Hope to meet y'all.....later

Looking to run a pair of 18's in my Burb eventually. Never built a ported box- but I've been reading on here and studying install how to's on youtube- i know it sounds lame- but they have helped. I downloaded sketch up and this is only my 2nd design, so be gentle.LOL Designed for my 01 Suburban- it is my creek/river vehicle- so the indent is for my ice chest. Used http://www.mobileinformationlabs.com/HowTo-1Woofer-Box-CAL%20Port%20lenth%201.htm to calculate the port. 11.3 cubes after displacements 140 sq in port (~12.5in/cube) tuned to 34 Still have some supports to add, and the front flap will be potential amp rack area. The subs face forward 1) to protect the s…

Hey all, 1st virgin cherry-popping post here. Some folks on the CarAudio Forum highly recommended SSA for the outstanding lineup of amps etc. and even better price tags. I'm under the impression that these names here are young, hungry and trying to make a name for themselves while offering great values. So, I've only had 2 amps, both Kickers. One was about 2001, Impulse 405 which sounded great to start but destroyed my Excelon comps. Didn't know what clipping from underpowering was! 2nd was some 180w behemoth and the Alpine 505 IVA DVD player. DEF not high quality sound emphasis. Imprint junk blah blah. But in my Jeep are 2 sets of Diamond Hex 600's about 4y/o. The…

Hey everyone. Arthur from Indianapolis here. I am a professional drummer and work as a hired gun for various tours around the world. My most recent tour was a stint with The Blue Man Group and have also played with The Fortunes from Coventry England and others. I got out of car audio for about 15 years and now have dove in again and you guys are spending all of my cash!!!! I have a big Arc audio system but now am in the process of doing the Sundown/ Fi/ Focal/Kinetic/ Alpine system. Amazing what I have learned and relearned on these forums! Thanks, Arthur

Fosgate separates in the front and stock in the rear deck.i just sold my…

New poster to the forum. I was away from car audio for 12 years or so but I gave in to the bug again in the last 6 months. I am shopping for a new sub at this time. Waiting on the GCON to be re-released, as I have been looking at many different subs and it seems to be the best fit in my price range. I bought a JL 12w3 last year but my car audio rust was showing, as I bought it on ebay and it blew with no abuse. Now I am looking to do it right this time and landed here at SSA.

Hi, I'm new to SSA but I'm on lots of other forums (12volt, clublexus, lexusownersclub, b20vtech, ect.) under the same screen name. I have completed a few very basic automotive audio setups in the past but I figure this is probably a great place to stay up to date. I also build custom enclosures for friends and sometimes other people with deep pockets. I'm unemployed at the moment so I may be on here often for info, advice and general forum BS. My current vehicle is a 2002 Lexus GS300 with a Kenwood DNX7100 HU wired up to a soundstream vangogh and JL500 amp pushing Infinity Kappa Perfect 6.5 components upfront and Polk Audio MMC6500 tweeters and crossovers paired wi…

Hi everyone, I'm Air Force stationed in Japan and decided to make an account here after taking a long break from audio in general. A lot of my favorite companies are now gone (Adire Audio, Image Dynamics) but I'm interested in learning what everyone else has to offer. Adire Audio Shiva's 4.0 cuft @ 30hz powered by JBL 600.1 2004 model RE 15SX 3.5 cuft @ 35hz powered by a 1000wrms plate amp. Dorm stereo, everyone in the building hated me lol

I am here to hopefully hone some of my abilities and give a little info also. I have a 93' Chevy 1500, 4 Diamond Audio M6 MKII 12's, 2 Diamond Audio CM3 8's, Pair of Diamond Audio Hex 5 1/4's, 2 Diamond Audio D5 1200.1, and 2 Diamond Audio D5 600.2, I have a Rockford RFX 9420 source unit, and a Alumapro 15 farad limited edition CAP. I have shaved the doors, tail, cargo light, ant. Well thats about it, thanks

I swear I have been registered here before, but all of my log in info was missing so maybe I'm up in the night. Anywho, some of you might recognize me from other forums, I'm kinda all over but I have heard good things about this place so I thought I would check it out. Looks like a good place to learn more info!

Picked up a Re XTX 5000.1 to run a 15" Z V.3. Right now i'm running a rockford t400-4 to 2 sets of t1675-s. I just put a new 170amp H.O alt and my lights are already dimming. With the new sub arriving friday i will be putting the Re in and don't think this batt will hold up. Any suggestions on a good batt that will keep this thing running smooth?

Hello all, I'm not new to mobile audio, but it sure feels like it. Ran my last setup fo ten years or so. Traded the Yukon for a Land Rover, now I hafta start over. Just feelin lost, the names I used to know don't appear to be what they once were. I have never dealt with comps before, now I have a 3way set in the front and 2way in the back to replace as they are shot. I have decided that a 10" DCON is what will be out back. I just hafta figure out which way to go on mid/high. If I ask stupid/tired questions please bare wth me. Thanks, Kevin
