    I drive a 2003 Hyunda Tiburon GT. I've heard from one person that 18" subs don't do so well in smaller cars. I was looking for some more input on this subject. I have a 15" RD Sonance currently that does just fine, but I've been looking into some Fi Subs and I'm considering the possibility of maybe a 15" or 18" Q or bl. Anyone have any suggestions on a sub and a size? LOL. Thanks everyone! Corey

  3. Hi, I'm Mick, new to this forum, not to audio...was an installer for about 16 years. Done a bunch of huge installs, including all the show vehicles for the shop I was at. Been out of it a couple years, and just miss the scene....Actually came on here because I was looking for a new sub to play with for my daily driver...just pre-ordered a Sundown SA-8, really intrigued me. Anyways, hope to get involved in some discussions on here, really love to talk audio!

    Saw the link to here on the other site so I thought I'd check it out. Seems like a great site and hope I can contribute, if not I'm willing to sit back and learn something.

    Sup everyone, I'm a SPL lover from Hawaii. Though I don't have lots of knowledge about car audio, I've got a pretty decent stereo in my room, equipped with the Dayton 15" 1000W sub, with an old 2 ch. Harman Kardon amp. The amp is pretty old, and it doesn't even have provisions for a sub. A car audio Speaker-> Line Level convertor was thrown in there somewhere. I'll be posting more about my home system in the Home Audio sticky in a bit. Other then that, I don't have a car system yet... I don't quite have a car suitable for one, as my current ride has no metal that you could bolt anything to. Don't think that means that my ride is crap though. Its whats on the insi…

    This is my first post on SSA. Apparently I registered a long time ago, but never posted here. I actually never heard of the website until I purchased an ICON about 2wks ago. I then came and tried to register on the forums, but they said my username was already taken (which has never happened to me before). I guessed a couple of my older p/w's and got it right, so now I can be a cool SSA member too!
