Newbie Sign IN

Just wanted to introduce myself- I'm an active forum participant on a whole slew of forums, primarily www.caraudioforum.com (top 10 poster) and www.caraudiotalk.com (moderator), and about 15 others... At any rate, I've been into car audio since I was about 15 years old, and I'm turning 30 this spring (booooo!). That's a long time... I've donned many hats over the years, from installer, to business owner, to pure enthusiast, experimenter, designer, etc. I'm currently involved in launching a new company called Better Audio... It's interesting work, from the business side... but I can't wait to get back into a more heavily technical role. Just got back from CES, and visi…

Whats up. New guy here from Ga. Came here with the attention to the subs sold here. Looking to replace my ripped IA 12". Drive a MazdaSpeed3 and looking to replace my dead sub. Back to car audio after a loong time. I wont post a "whats the best sub" cause i am sure thats been posted a thousand times so I will do some research first. I am debating between 2 12" or 1 12". I have a brand new HiFonics 1000.d mono amp to pair with the subs. Thanks EDIT: I signed up 6 years ago but forgot. lol

I just ordered 2 RL-p 15"s from Mike. I cant wait to get them here.

sup everybody i am a friend of jamie(xtrememeasures) this is a kool place

Hi SSA, I have been looking around car audio forums and have decided that this would be the best place to join as I am trying to get honest answers to some questions that I have about a system that I want to build. A bit of background on me. I am a resident of New Mexico and have a degree in EE. I have always enjoyed listening to all types of music and consider myself, at least somewhat, an listening enthusiast. I had an '03 Toyota Matrix upgraded with two of the OLD Alpine type R 10" subwoofers, Alpine head unit and a whole host of different components powered off a 45W alpine 4 channel amp. Alpine fan at the time. I currently have an '08 Chevy Cobalt Coupe wi…

Yeah, I'm a noob 2005 Chevy Silverado Fi SSD 12" (Bp power, copper coil) wired at 1 ohm Audioque 1200d 1.2 cubes sealed enclosure

Hey guys, need some help.live been competing for years so I have some knowledge, but I'm not up to date on the power I need to supply the amp I'm wanting to go with. I have a 220 amp alt. And hc 2400 kinetik. I'm.going to b running two fi bl 12's dual 2 on a sundown 3500d. Daily will b run at 1 ohm and compete at .5 ohm. Do I have enough power to push the amp to full potential? All help and suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

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.

hey guys just got my sundown sponsorship so i thought i would get active on the forum, i compete in midwest spl mostly but hope to make some usaci shows this year. have some fun builds planed for adv classes, will have to squeeze build time in with new job, working 13 hours a day for now, but happy to be here and see ya in the lanes!

Whats going on everyone? Anyone bassheads out there close to Southern MD?? Anyways, I found SSA when I first purchased a Sundown Zv3 15" and some damplifier a while ago and have been glued to this forum ever since so I figured why not join the best forum out there. Just ordered 2 SA-12s and going to seal them off from the trunk tuned to 28hz for some lowwwwwws. I will put a build log up when I get my box from davetheboxguy (can't build my own because I am stuck in an apartment and have no where to build or the space ever since I moved). But for now I just wanted to say what up and keep bumpin!

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.

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 guys, stoping in to post up. new to the forum, and have found a lot of NEW things. anyway, a little about me, i drive an 08 crew cab silverado, with a stock deck and stock door speakers. i do have sound deadening in the doors and back wall (that i think i over paid for and it really doesnt do sh!t) i also have two rockford 8's (P2D48's) in a sealed box under my 40% flip up seat. it fits perfect, nice and tight. the box is only just under .6 Cubic ft. and im getting roughly 115 bd with my Radio shack DB meter. im using a punch 500.s amp. i also have a "signal booster" inline with the "high-level to RCA" devise, and with that, i have to have my gain all the way down, my…

Hi guys just wanted to introduce myself to the forum as I am new here. My name is Chris and live on Long Island and I am 25 years old and have been into car audio for about ten years now. I went to school for tech school for Automotve Aftermarket Accessories for 2 years when I was in 11th and 12 grade and became a Mobile Electronics Certified Professional Bronze Level. That has since expired and countless stereo systems later I now have 2 Alpine Type Rs 1242d 12s on a Hifonics Brutus 1200d Monoblock (at 1 ohm) in a box that is 2.25 cubic feet per chamber and tuned to 45 hertz (ported). I am running 1/0 gauge wire with a Kinetik HC1800 under the hood of a 2001 Ford Windsta…

I have some specific questions that might have already been answered and would be more than happy to search for them.

Hey guys, wanted to stop in and say hello. I've been reading and hanging around for some time but hadn't posted. Made an account and this is post 1. Used to have a pair of Infinity Kappa Perfect 12's wired to 1ohm on a kicker zr240, had an old ppi amp running my mb quartz components all in a 94' honda accord 4 door back in high school many years ago (well 12). Since then life and family got in the way. Haven't had any kind of "system" since, got the bug a few months ago to get something again and well...here I am. Love the site and look forward to getting caught back up! -Josh
