    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

    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

    Just checking in. The last amp I installed in my own car was a Hifonics that was made in the USA and MB Quarts were the speakers to have. Yup, I'm gonna say it, times have changed. After a few weeks of catching up on what has been going on in the car audio world for the last 20+ years, by lurkin' the forums, I landed here. I'd like to say "Thank You" to all of SSA for providing a great place to gather information, ideas and purchase equipment.

    Hello All, I'm still an amateur (not quite a noob) in the car audio game, but I enjoy learning. It looks like you have a great forum here. I just ordered 2 12" D1 XCons to go in the trunk of my Pontiac G6. It feels like Christmas is coming 2 months early!! Yeehaaa!! From what I have read the SSA subs get nothing but praise, so I can't frikkn wait! I haven't done a ton of research on this yet, but I'll ask it here anyway. How would you recommend I configure my subs in the trunk? I have roughly 4ft^3 to play with. This leaves very little space on either side of the box for air to push into the passenger compartment with the back seats folded down. I also h…

  21. So I am not really "new" to forums I started out on a different forum and just got tired of all the B.S. over there and went looking for a more informative forum for my car audio needs. Said forum seemed to be more about talking shit about someones set up if they didn't have a certain brand of equipment and not enough helping each other out. Any ways not trying to rant just giving some of my forum exp. I have been watching this forum for awhile now and it seems to be a lot more informative so I am glad to be a new member thanks. I live in Spokane WA. but I was born and raised in Santa Barbara CA. If you would like to know anything else about me just ask

    Hello everyone, I am working on overhauling my current 2007 Civic coupe install to a comp worthy trunk class build. The brains of the system is a Sony CDX-C90/ XDP-210EQ combo. A McIntosh powered (MC425 and MC427) Exodus/ Vifa front stage is in the stock locations. The current sub-stage is JBL GT4-12's powered by a Kicker ZX1000.1. The electrical is stock except for a single run of 1/0 KnuKoncepts cable. The overhaul will still include a McIntosh powered front stage, but the subs and subs powerplant will get yanked out in favor of 15's(or maybe triple 12's) and a 3-5kW amp. I am shooting for 150's. Electrical is first on the list...

Figured I better get a start and check out these forums since Sundown Audio rocks this part of the net. But all good. Hope to meet some of you on here. Thanks and take care!
