What's everyone I'm new to the site but not to car audio. I'm from Phoenix Arizona. Hope to learn more about car audio

Alrighty How goes it everyone! If anyone is from ROE here you know me. Im Jon and Im one of the moderators from realmofexcursion. Lets see. I've been in the car audio game for around 4 years or so now. Had a few setups so far one consisting of 6 kicker 12's another was 4 12" sidewinders (i know i know :? ) and a couple single 10/12" subs setups. I recently went to Mobile Technical Training install school in New Jersey. That was back in February and I got my Basic MECP Installtion certificate. I worked at circuit city for abit until they did there round of lay offs. I am currently being looked at to work at Mercedes Benz in the Port Of Baltimore where i will be installing …

Hey all. New guy to the forum but not to stereos. I fell in love with bass when I was 12 and built my first system in my sisters car at 14. Built multiple stereos for multiple reasons and now I'm at it again soon starting my astro build. The final outcome plan is still in the air as we all know when starting these rhings they usually go on with more and more being added. Fell in love with ascendant audio a few years back when I met a guy who had 6 15 inch havocs in a truck. Well I contacted him about ordering some 18 inch havocs (4) and ill be ordering one thing at a time for the slow build considering I'm a family guy with kids and that comes first but as I get work don…

New to the forum.

Greetings all!!!! Seasoned competitor from Philly. I am currently rebuilding my 240SX's wall!! I found this forum thanks to Direct Sound Solutions and Quentin!!!!!!

im new here, i was a member on roe but quit b/c i just dont like roe anymore with the new site and stuff. just wanted to introduce myself and say whats up.

Hello, Just got two rlp 15's & found this forum. Looks like I can spend weeks finding lots of good info on here so I can stop bugging Mike with questions now!

Hey all, Fairly new to car audio but I've been bitten by the deadly Audio Bug. I've got boxes of stuff to install, Massive Audio NX5 amp, Hertz components and coaxials, sound deadening gear, etc. I live in the Pacific NorthWet, near Seattle, WA and own a 07 Hyundai Sonata Limited. I'm glad I found this forum. I've been lurking but decided to jump right in.

I am curious to know how many watts would be concidered enough in a "daily driver"? I know that the threshold of pain (in the ear) is around 120db's. What kind of watts are needed to acheive that. I have been around the car audio realm for the better part of 15 years but it has always been a "bigger is louder is better" way of thinking. I never really looked into the science of sound and why it all works. I am learning a great deal from this site. My very first system was an 18 inch cerwin vega powered by a 400 watt california profile amp and a kenwood tape deck. The last system I had was 2 15 inch type r powered by a 1000 watt phoenix gold amp and a pioneer p9. I now am…

Hey guys, I'm new to the ssa community and I just had a question about whether I would be better off with 2 12's (most likely fi q 12's ported and tuned low) or one really loud 15 (most likely a DC xl 15)..obviously ported.. Ok first of all, ill start with the basics..I drive a Volkswagen jetta so the most I can squeeze is 3.5-4 cu. ft...and for power I've got the audioque 2200d and a 220 ho alternator with 1 red top (starter battery) and the big 3 with 4 Ga...now given my trunk is relatively small..I would probably be better off with 3.5 cu. Ft. Recommended for the DC xl but..its taller and would most likely not have enough air space to bounce back off of my trunk lid or…

New to this forum, coming from the SMD forum.

Hi all , I'm dice from the uk and am a keen bass head I've just purchased a fiat punto van with a 1.7td engine and some ascendent audio havoc 18's and two Orion d5000 amps and I'm looking at making a ported enclosure to the design I'm linking on this post . Is there anyone on here that could help me work out measurements for the box ? The sizes of the space in which I would like the enclosure in is 34high x 20" deep 53" wide which is just over 17cuft i'f I've worked it out ok :/ Hope someone can help I'm all eager to get started .

sup all, im jus a lil ol competitor from the midwest, tryin to get loud lol

Im running a FI BTL 12 on an AQ2200d. I was going down the road the sub hit 3 times and static came in then it stopped all together & Started smoking. Now its not doing anything at all. not playing or putting out anysound? what do i do? will a recone fix this?

Signing in. Newbie got out of car audio 7 or so years ago, built it, liked it, left it alone, but they keep pulling me back! New car. New audio. Sony CDX MP70 - I love it! A radio I can read in sunlight!!!!! What will they think of next Rainbows SLC365 front, Dreamline 6.5 Coax for rear fill Amp Hifonics Zeus 6400 (Speakers must make this amp sound good)

What's up guys? Love the site and all the good info. I just put a small setup in my truck, now I fell back into the vicious cylce of it never being loud enough. So, now I'm thinkin of doing a wall, lol. Will keep you posted on what I decide or possibly a build thread.

Hey guys whats up, Names Jaime and i stranded myself over here from caraudio.com! Been into the whole car audio seen since i was a newb in high school about 8 years ago. I Recently placed an order for a Icon 10" D1 and can not wait for it to be delivered! This sub will be part of a new build i will be doing in my DD (audi A6) so far i have all the wiring needed from knukonceptz and the order for this sub, still need a new HU, and amp to power this bad boy up, and some decent 6.5 comps with a matching amp as well. Build won't start till i get decent weather and my car back from the shop (side swiped in snowstorm) Any suggestion you guys may have i am all ears!Also might ne…

Whats going on guys? Tito here just wanting to say whats up . I came across the forum by looking up estimated delivery time for the Fi SP4 i ordered a few days ago. I own an 85 mazda rx7 and a 2004 cadillac deville. The 85 rx7 has a simple setup with 2 kicker l5 12s in a prefab ported box, using a jl slash 500 to power them. The 04 deville has 2 sundown X8 in a 4th order bandpads enclosure, powered by a hifonics zues amp, soon to be replaced with 1 Fi SP4 18" in a custom 6.5 cu enclosure tuned to 31hz. I look foward to chatting with u all and learning some new ideas.

Heyyyyyyy it's me from caraudio.com and SI.N and plenty of other forums. Just figured I'd pop in here since it was the first board. Audiophiles always find all audiophile boards. Here I am. - pe@ce

Hi folks, new poster but old owner of a q12 sub. I love the driver but I can't use it right now because my bonehead buddy tore the surround with his finger lifting the sub up one day. There's a 1" horizontal tear in the surround now and I'd like to know if I can repair it or if I have to send it in for a recone. Also, it's an older dual stack motor, is there a way to figure out the options on it without tearing it apart? Thanx for any help.

just wanted to say hi and ROLL TIDE

I figured I would say hi again. Haven't been on here in over a year, an wow you guys have expanded alot!! It's good to be back.
