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, Just wanted to say hello to you guys. We are Adassa Audio from the UK. We hope to learn more about the car audio scene in the US and compare it to the scene in the UK. We do alot of DB drag competitions and were at the World Finals in Hamburg last year and hope to be at the world finals later this year. Looking forward to speaking to people on this forum.

I need some suggestions on what subs to wall up in my 2001 2dr S-10 Blazer. This will be my first real build the only thing I have had that was "loud" was 2 15" Kicker L7s dual 4 ohm wired down to 1 ohm by a 2000 watt hifonics brutus (The only competition I was ever apart of I got 3rd place with this system in 2008 at milan dragway in michigan at some street warriors 2000+ watts class I wasnt even going to enter. I got a trophy for it.) . This was 4 years ago. I have not since then had a system in my ride and have now FINALLY decided to get back into the car audio world and will be trying to go "Big" this time. I want to keep my back seats folded down and or maybe take th…

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…

Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself. I heard about this forum from Denim, who is also a member over at MBworld.org. I drive a 1990 Mercedes 300ce (same coupe model that denim drives). Check out the pics at the bottom of this post. I am currently installing and planning my new system which includes the following components: Head Unit: Nakamichi CD-400 Front Speakers: Focal Polyglass 165 V3E slim 3-way components Rear Speakers: Focal Polyglass 100 V-slim 2-way components (4" mid) Subwoofer: Infinity Kappa Perfect 10 VQ (installed via infinite baffle) Amp #1: JL Audio 500/5 (for subwoofer and fronts via bi-amp) Amp #2: JL Audio e2150 2 channel amp (for rear fill only) Eq…

Just your basic introduction here, and a question to kick off my time here. My name is Matt, I'm new to this forum but have been a member of several other forums for many years, so I'll try to refrain from making noob-ish mistakes. Ha. Anyway, I currently have an Alpine CDA-9857 in my truck that's going to be replaced by a Pioneer AVH-P4100DVD that's currently in the mail. Also I've got some Polk Audio db6501 Components that are powered by a Rockford Fosgate P400.4, and a brand new 12" Fi Audio SSD powered by a Kenwood KAC-9152D. The Kenwood is getting sold tomorrow morning along with my old Kicker CVX. On the list of things to do is plenty of Raamat BXT, and two new amps…

it's me from CA.com... :ph34r: gimme mod! gimme mod!

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...

Hello fellas Micheal Here from So Calif I just recently bought a 96 Honda Accord LX, and i'm ready to put a SQ system in there.

What's up, my brand came here so I followed. I am pretty active on a few forums and do the whole YouTube thing. Most know me from my truck, The Black Nasty. I am pretty laid back and honest, also if you come off as a dick, I will be one right back, so suck it up.

Hello Some of you may know me from other forums seems like a cool place.

Nice site admin! I love you gays!

I cant seem to make up my mind on the subs I am looking at. the two that have my attention are the ssa zcon 18" and the sundown z v3 18". I am waiting on my crescendo bc2000D's. leaning more towards the zcon. Amp and sub are both 2250 rms @1 ohm. any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

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…

Apparently our first three posts are supposed to be here, so I want to jump right in, haha. Don't judge, but I want to wall two fifteens in my 2001 Jetta. I have very minimal experience sadly, and don't care about ruining the car too much. I'll be powering the two DAD BD15s with an arc KS2500.1 I know I'm leaving out some information that's needed or whatever, so ask away. (:

Well, I am on car audio classifieds, ca.com, csco, groundpounderzinc.com, and down4sound. Just figured I would say hey. Went to a show in mishawaka today hung out with some guys from this forum they told me to check it out so I am here, stay tuned for my new build in a 02 grand am.

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

Hey guys months ago i blew my three tens that i had not really sure how, but i've decided to go with possibly a one 12 set up i'm looking for a sub to match my massive audio db 3000 amp i would like to run it at 2 ohms which its says would be 950 watts and what i want out of the simple is to hit low clear notes my head unit is pioneer Deh-6300ub i have kenwood mids and some tweeters that i'm not sure of the brand the brands of subs that i've been looking at was going to get a used w7 and amp combo but felt it was to much so the other brands i was looking at were soundsplinter, re audio, tc sounds, and memphis mojo so if you guys could help me with any suggestions and your…

Hey peeps, glad to see this board! I just got my dream truck, 2010 Ford Raptor Crew Cab and would like to upgrade the audio system. Might got some ideas around here so I signed up.

Just bought a 2006 Jeep Liberty Renegade. I'm gonna take my 528i in to carmax and sell it for some money for a new system. I'm not sure how much I'll have to spend yet but I was hoping I could get some research done before I set an official budget. I listen to mainly classic dubstep and electronic music that has really, really heavy bass (I'm not talking skrilllex or Doctor P midrange bullshit/midrange dubstep.) So my main concern is taking the bass to the next level. So I've done some research and am more comfortable with the terminology but I still have a couple questions. I'm assuming its going to be necessary to replace my stock amp to power some new subs, but do I ne…

Hello, Just picked up an FI BL 10" from a local classified w/ a kenwood 800w amp(probably not gonna use) for $120!!! Kid said it was an SSD but upon removal and further inspection it is a BL, D2 config. I just printed the cut sheet for a new box and am currently in search of a new amp. I wired up my Memphis MC500.1 and that BL just laughed and barely moved @ 1ohm. I never should have sold my 1k!!!! Oh well!
