I was into high end audio all my life. Home system is a Nikko Alpha power amp, 480 watts if my memory is right. Nikko betta pre-amp. Can't remember the eq.. Ohm c3 speakers, never heard anything better. For play, a teachnics (can't spell that) cassette player with dbx, a teac 8 head reel to reel (had the large reels, can't remember the size) and a turn table I can't remember. In the care, 78 z28, a Kenwood head unit, 2 linear amps, 8" subs mounted in the rear with some ohm component (6” and 2”) and nothing in front L Moved that to several cars over the years then when I turned 40, 2002, I moved to Hawaii and left all this with a friend. Now, I’m 51, back in the mainland, …

Hello just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I am an SQ enthusiast and from the UK. I am lucky to be with Team Hybrids and run the following system: Pioneer DEX-P99RS Headunit. 2 Genesis DMX amps one bridged on a FI IB3 12 and one running Hybrid Audio L6s Sinfoni 45.2x running Genesis R1 tweeters, Sinfoni 90.2 running Hybrid Audio L3s This is mounted in a Mazda 3 saloon. I have used various bits n pieces and am hopefully getting to a stage where now I can set a system up for competition. I hope to learn more about car audio and share my knowledge / experience.

Hey guys, I'm new here from CAforum... any other jersey folk?

Alright I have a 02 KIA Spectra, the alternator I am running is 300 amp. I have 4 cubeic box with two 12inch Zv4's. Its tuned to 45hz. I have recently upgraded my amp from a Hifonics Brutus 2500wtt to Sundown 4000 watt amp. I also have a XS power D3100 battery. All the wiring is 1/0 gauge. I am being told from friends that its fine for running a burp in competition, but not enough power for demos or sustand listening. I think I should be ok? Just second guessing myself. Hopefully I gave enough info?

Hello all metro detroit area guy here. Having found a new home in thr car audio world here at SSA.

Hey all, I'm tyler from Bismarck, ND. I'm not officially a noob to audio (even thou some people up here know me as Mr. Noobcake). I have been involved in the car audio and competition scene since i was 14 (2004). I also starting my own shop last year called Out There Customs. At my shop my #1 thing is car audio, but also sell alot of different aftermarket parts, mechanic work, body work, motor swaps, etc. I do know alot about car audio but there are some areas that are ruff for me and I am going to be asking for some help on my box design and what you guys think will work best in my setup idea, if i seem to use wrong terms and words describing things.....bare with me as i…

Well ive scurried myself on over to here to raise some hell! Half of you know me already.

Just wanted to put a quick post on here about how awesome i think this forum is, it's by far one of the better forum communities I've seen. Hope to can soak up as much info as I can for future projects.

So I just picked up a box and 2x10 Rockford Fosgate subs for my Ram. So the subs are 4 ohm 150watt RMS each with a peak of 300watt. Here's the problem. I listen to rock mainly so I don't care about a TON of bass, but I do like a good amount. The subs are bridged or whatever, and that's where I don't know what amp to get without spending a fortune. The two subs don't have two wires each I guess that's what bridged means? So my question is, what channel, RMS, ohm all that stuff, what would be the best amp for me? I'm so lost and the audio guy near my house is just trying to make money off of me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I currently drive a '94 Explorer 4-Door. The system that is going in it is in my sig. Hoping to start competition anytime.

My name is Sharpie, and I am an audioholic. Current goals for my Mazda6, is SQ. I frequented these forums 4-5 years ago under name tag A Broke Ninja and remembered how helpful everyone was, and I thank you all for that - it’s why I’ve returned since I’ve gotten back into this hobby.

Hey guys, new to car audio and I hope to learn some here. Hopefully my first purchase (although not for a couple years...) will be something from SSA.

Hey guys, brand new to the world of car audio and just had a few questions! Planning to get two 12" icons, and being 1250watts each looking for a good 2500 watt amp...but I was wondering is it better to get an amp around 2500-3000 watt or two seperate at 1250-1500 watts? Also to be able to run these I plan on getting an xs battery but which should I get? I also plan on doing the "Big 3", but is there anything else I should do? Thanks for the help everyone, like I said complately blind in this world but really want to learn!
