    Hi everyone, my name is Brian and I am from central Illinois. I have been into car audio since I was 16 and am now 31. I currently have a 99 Mazda Millenia S with Soundstream Van Gogh amps, ID components and IDMax subs. My wife also has a system in her 06 Escape. It has Alpine Type R comps and Type R 10's with MA Audio amps and Pioneer Premier head. I also have a 92 Tbird Supercoupe that has had about 6 or 7 different configurations in it. I love doing this and don't see myself ever stopping! I am glad I stumbled across this forum and am looking for a nice change from the dramafest that is carsound.com.

    Hello my name is Jason. I have been searching through multiple forums for information and have joined a few that I have found worthwhile joining. Currently I own a 2008 Tundra double cab. I am currently running an Alpine headunit. Morel Tempo Ultra 6.5" separates on a Zapco ST-X4 SQ. My substage is a single Stereo Integrety HST-15 in a ported box tuned to 25 Hz. It is on a Taramps MD 5000.1. I have a Dayton Audio DSP-408 I plan to install soon so I can run the Morels active. I am using the Tundra as a test vehicle for when I can afford a new Jeep Wrangler and can apply my knowledge to a full system build. I look forward to all the information and answers I will find here…

    Hi all at SSA. Recently got a new car, and making some audio changes. I was leasing a 2010 Rogue that I put RSD coaxs in, and a Planet Audio P2250D powering two SA-10s. Got out of the lease, and in to an 07 Altima 2.5s. Big difference going from an open enviroment back to a trunk. Still have the SA-10s, now using a Cadence ZRS-C65 since the PA blew some mosfets. Switching the coaxs for comps powered by a DSC480. Anyway, Im sure Ill have some questions along the way, and will share what I can as things are done. Not sure what else to add here in an intro thread.

    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…

    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 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

    I just signed up for this forum, so far i've picked up alot of great info. I've been into car stereo for about 10 years as a consumer, and i have installed probably 8 full systems and countless deck, door speaker, and or sub installs. If you live in the area hit me up with a pm. It's always good to meet people with the same passion for sound.

    Whats good, I'm new here and to the whole car audio thing as well. Been browsing these forums for a bit and just recently decided to register lol. Currently getting a 15" Fi BL and would like to have the build done before the end of this month. I posted in the Fi section if you guys know the answers to any of my questions which would be awesome. I'm 18 and a broke college student haha so I cant afford to screw the build up. Will get something better of course when i get the money but the Fi BL will do for now. I'll definitely be a part of these forums, as i'm obsessed with all of this already. Good to be here.

    Hello All, I was an installer at a local shop back when I was in high school. We sold mostly JL audio, Audiobahn, JVC, Power Acoustic and a few others I forgot. I am glad I found the site it seems they have more of an informative group here compared to some of the other forums related to this subject. I want to get back in to car audio because I have always enjoyed it and also I just purchased two new vehicles. My first project is my truck. I have a 08 GMC Crew Cab Sierra 1500. I'm looking to spend about 3000 but could possible spend more depending on how big each hit will be! I listen to all types of music but mostly rock, some rap and occasionally country. I like powerf…

    Hello everyone, my name is Jack and I been lurking for a few weeks and found lots of cool technical information on this site. So I am coming out of the woodwork to get a little more active on the site. Been away from car audio for too many years, now I am back to have some fun in the dB drag lanes for the 09 season. I live in N. Ca in the Sacramento valley and had a chance to attend / bug most of the guys that competed in the dB drags this year. Just wanted to say hello and thanks to everyone that has shared their experiences with car audio on this site.
