    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

  4. Hi; I got here via my build thread on "The IB cult site", Mike R DIY IB subwoofer project. As newbie here this is my 1st post.

  11. Hello all! My name is Dan and I purchased a 10” DSS Ethos subwoofer a couple years back and I am finally ready to get it installed. I know absolutely NOTHING about this sub. The person I bought it from I have no contact with, however he recommended that I purchase the Crescendo Audio Symphony series S1500.1 amplifier. Like I said I know nothing about this subwoofer. I was wondering what specs I should use as far as building a enclosure. I have a 2013 Focus St Hatchback. I would appreciate any and all feedback as to what kind of enclosure it requires. Thank you all ahead of time. Dan

    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

    Hello everyone, I’m Eddie and it’s refreshing to find a helpful and informative car audio forum like yours. I started out in car audio back in 1989 with a pair of 12” MTX Terminators powered by a Fosgate Punch amp with a Clarion head unit and a Clarion EQ. I’ve owned many systems over the years and am now just getting back into car audio. I’m looking forward to learning more about the current brands and technology that’s come out the last few years while getting to know everyone here.
