    Hey everyone I'm from Naperville, IL and I'm 18. I'm still learning when it comes to car audio and I'm hoping to learn some more from here. Right now my setup is 2 12" Kicker CVRs pushed by a zx750.1. Yeah, not the best set up at all but I'm looking to upgrade as soon as I get a new car which should be in the next month or 2. I'm pretty much set on a 15" Icon or 15" Q. Basically just looking for something louder and better sounding than my CVRs. Anyways, glad to be here.

    I am from Fort Wayne IN new to the site but not to car audio. I have been into car audio since I was old enough to drive thanks to people like Alma Gates, Scott Owens, Gary Biggs, and Chris Norris over the years I have learned alot from people in car audio and hope to continue learning from more. There is alot of awsome videos from you all and hope they keep up the good work and carry on the car audio industry.As to me I dont now much about SSA but plan to learn alot after I start a new build in my Explorer so with that all said thanks to anyone that is in this forum and hope to get some good response from you guys and from SSA. Thanks again!

    Hello guys and gals. My real name is Danny Craig and I live in Sumter South Carolina. I am new to this forum, but not new to car audio. I have been in car audio since the late 80's.

For those of you who don't know what I have, here it is: I have two American Bass VFL Extreme dvc 2 ohm 1500 watt rms subwoofers and two American Bass VFL-100.1 amplifiers my subs are in a custom built enclosure built by Derrick Haddock. He is the man when it come to enclosure building. I will post some pics in a different topic. I have one heck of a cone rise …

    Hi, I just ran across this forum and it seemed like a great place to set up shop and get back into the audiophile swing of things. I'm from lexington, Ky and I'm trying to catch up on everything I've missed in the industry over the past few years. Had a really bad experience getting my system jacked and decided to take a few steps back, still makes me steamed thinking there may be someone around here bumping my Brahma, not knowing really what this crazy sub is... Anyway, thanks for having me!

    Wow, I barely remember joining this forum a year ago. I believe I came here to look up some information on Mach5 Audio who regretfully is no longer here. Anyhow, this has to be a world record between my forum join date and my first post.

    Hello all, I a member on some other car audio forums and see a lot of other people referencing or linking posts here, so I thought I would swing by and check it out. I had a '99 eclipse gsx that I just recently sold with 2 12'' alpine type-x and 2 x alpine 1kw amps. System sounded good for a car but now I'm looking to go big in my '02 GMC Envoy. I've always been with mainstream brands and prefab'd boxes so definitely getting excited to see what else there is out there. Those xcon's or zcon's are looking bad ass.

    Newbie here saying hello from Michigan. I have been watching the SSA forum for a few months and have learned alot of new stuff just from reading. Car audio has been a hobby of mine since I could drive (only 7 years but hey). Soon I will be starting a new build on my 2003 Dodge Durango and thought it would a fun idea to post it here in the builds section. Thank You, Sean
