  3. Hello everyone! My names Mitch and I'm a non-recovering audioholic... Lol. Im getting back into car audio after not having the time for it the past 8 years! Im sure I'll have many questions for my build and I am very glad I can depend on SSA for dependable info and products!!! Thanks in advance for help. My build is in a 2003 Buick century, I'm sticking with one 12(already bought the GCON). All that's left is the amp. Ps my GCON is d2... Any help on narrowing it down would be great!

    Hi everyone.. I'm a (almost) 42 year old from Ada, Michigan. I've been fascinated with car audio since I was 16. I worked at a car audio retailer for a while, and continue to install as a hobby. I love to design and build subwoofer enclosures. I'm constantly trying different woofer /enclosure combos, which drives my wife up the wall. I truly enjoy listening to different setups in different vehicles.. Every system has its own quirks and qualities, which is what car audio should be about, and what makes it so fun. I drive an '06 KIA Spectra, with a healthy mix of older and newer gear. Glad to be here.. Ken

    New to the forum, I just ordered a pair of GCON 12" D4 to be powered by a pair of Infinity Kappa One amps. They'll be going in a new box that I plan to build which will sit in the trunk of my 2011 Dodge Charger R/T.

    Hello quick question involving wiring two 2ohm subs to an amp. If the amp is rated for 3000 watts at 1 ohm mono, how would one wire the subs to reach 2500-3000 watts? Should it be wired regulary or bridged?

    I'm socially retarded thanks to an abnormally high IQ that turns me into a useless potato of a genius. Medical professionals call me Autistic, I'm not convinced yet. If I ever say some overly dumb [excrement] just know I'm not trying to be stupid, I literally just don't understand what's going on. With that out of the way, I live near Seattle. I've been involved in car audio in some manner since I was a kid, lately I've been trying to learn anything and everything I possibly can about automotive specific sub-bass acoustics. In the last year I've gone through more drivers than I can remember, designed and built more enclosures than I can count, and have been investin…
