    Hey how's it going everyone my name is Hideo and I'm from Hawaii, and I am finding this forum to be very helpful and full of knowledge. I am currently running a small system in my 4x4 Cherokee which consists of a 18 BL loaded for daily running off of a SAZ-1500, a PRS-880 HU and working on my frontstage which is gonna be running active off a old school SS Reference amp temporarily. As for electricals I got two redtops and the big 3 is almost done, I just been real slim on time. It's not much but it does the job, shooots......

    hey folks, just saying waddup. i'm just doing some research as i'm swapping out the crap speakers in my 2008 mazda3 hatch. so far i've put in focal 165ca1's in the rear doors that i'm running off the headunit. i have 165a1's for the front components that i was going to run off a us amps xt800.2 but have recently decided to put in an 8" sub that will fit into a stealth box in the tire jack compartment. so i'm just doing some research on which 8" sub to go with and looking for a 4-channel amp to power the sub and the front components. btw, if anyone is interested in buying a brand new in box us amps xt800.2 let me know.

    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.

    Hey all. I was doing some research for my new system and found a lot of good info on this site, so decided to join up. I have a 2008 c6 that needs some audio help. Right now it has pioneer Avic z3 and polk components. I just purchased an re audio slim line 10 and us amps ax600de (cant wait to install them). Searching for a us amps for front stage and plan on pulling the polk db speakers and putting in some re xxx components. We will see. Ive been in and out of car audio. During my teenage years I was in to spl and owned the ol school orion hcca amps (loved those). Now, Im getting old and not looking to crack any windows!!

  12. Ya so, I had set up a SSA forum account, made a great build, enjoyed it for a couple months...and then went to prison...I knew I was going but that didn't make things any easier. Anyways 18 months later I'm out now and in the halfway house just months away from being able to re-build my system into my '99 Jeep Grand Cherokee! Man am I excited! So here I am checkin' in at my favorite forum to say "I'M BACK!! WOOOOT!!"

    Hi all, My name is Jack, and I'm 19 years old. I recently have been drawn back to the car audio scene. My old setup was a 180A alternator, two 12" Treo SSI with an old Mmats D200HC. I sold all this stuff back in 2008 and my alternator recently took a dump on me. It was a 180A alternator, and I sent it back and they quoted me $170 for the rebuild, or $270 to build it up to 200A. I don't know what to do, but more on this later as I'm rambling haha... I plan on running a new system, it will have three old 12" Punch HX2, all D4 ohms, so I'm looking at an amp that will do well at .75 ohms. Anyways...that's me! Glad to be here.

    Scott and Fi, I would just like to say thank you for all your time and help with my 3rd straight IASCA Bass Boxing World Championship. You are a great person Scott and Fi BTL's are the best sub I have ever owned. I will never run another sub. I have had 2 other companys offer me free sponsorships since SBN. I told them no thanks I would rather pay Scott thank run your stuff. My 2nd Championship was won with the old BTL's and my 3rd was won with the new BTL's. Scott call me when you get a chance.

    Sup. I have a pretty good system in my BMW, and frequented some other forums about five years ago. I'm getting the itch to rebuild again, and wondered what happened to the industry, and sort of concluded that car audio was dying. Well it looks like everyone came here. Cool forum!
