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…

Hello all. I am Jonny Hotnuts. There was a time that I was very much into car audio

Wusup guys, finally brought my arse over here to SS and see what ya'll are about. Hope I have a good time and I'm sure I'll learn a thing or threa My names Matt, but you can just call me sexi,lmao

I came here because I really like SSA, sundown, and FI stuff. But here's a rundown of my setup in a 2004 dodge ram. I have boston acoustic door speakers, a kenwood receiver, pure 1500d subwoofer amp running a alpine type r black cone (1000w rms) in a fox box. Now can i ask questions yet, or do I have to wait?

Hi guys, i am fairly new to this so all/any help would be useful. i have a Optima 55 battery and the problem is that everytime i really test my car on Termlab the battery starts to clip/cutoff. The voltage drops from 14.4V to 11.8V. What can be causing this problem. My car runs on the IASCA format and does a 150.5dB in the Rookie Int. Class. the car clips at 150.5. I am really eager to know what this could be. Looking forward to your help guys. Thanks.

Hello all from Oregon. Been in car audio for years, and have just now pulled my head out, and damn, there is a whole other world out here. Funniest thing is, over my past year of planning, and doing research for my build, I end up here via one link or another, so instead of more time wasted, I figured I'd join, and see where it goes.

hey, decided to register on ssa, im from caraudio.com, and i know some of the members from there are also on here, so i decided to jump on that band wagon

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!!!!!!

New to this forum, coming from the SMD forum.

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)

Hello SSA forums, glad to be a new member here! I just ordered a 10" GCON (dual 4 ohm, for a sealed box), and was curious as to what types of RMS levels it would take to work well? I know it takes up to 750 WRMS, I was just curious how well it would do with less than that, as I still need to get an amp for it, and money is an issue. it will be in a 2003 Saturn Ion, no sound deadening, and it is a daily driver, so I was looking for decent sound quality, with the ability to thump if need be on occasion. On a related note, would either Soundstream PN1.650D, or a Crunch PZA1500.1 be better for this sub? I'm open to other amplifiers, but I was looking to spend under $150, and…

Saw the newbie section after posting in the ""SQL""/spl section so sry for that, just stoppin in to say high hope i can learn alot well im here fairly new to the audio scene but have always had a great passion for it. thanks for haven me and sry again for not posting here first.

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.

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.

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.

New guy here heard this is the place to get the good info and help so i figured i would try and see if it really is more grown folk over here my ride right now is a 04 mitsubishi endeavor(yea you probably never heard of it lol) my current system is garbage (2 hifonics 12's and a power accoustik amp) but i'm looking at 15's building my own box the whole 9 im from cincinnati ummm i tihnk thats it

hi im new to ssa and fi but not to audio i have a jl w3 in a 1988 chevy reg. cab s10 and i was wondering if the fi ssd could or would be better thanks mikey

Was just referred to SAS by some friends on reddit. Here to learn and seek advice for my ride. Just reading some of the threads and it's apparent there is some serious knowledge here. I'm not sure if I should post my questions in this introduction thread or not, so forgive me if I'm wrong. I'm putting together my second install and this time it's going to be a little better. The first one was Rockford Fosgate using stock head unit. It was for my son's car and it's not too bad. Better than what he had at least lol. This time I want to put together something for my vehicle. I have a 2017 Honda Civic LX. It's a base model. I want to try to …

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!

glad to be here with people who love car audio.

Hello all from a new member. What a refreshing site! Members seem extremely friendly and knowledgable. Can't wait to talk to all of you!

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…

i fell off for a while... but things are looking better.. so guess what........ IM BACK> WWHOOOPPP!!!!!!!!

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.
