    MattB here, North Fla. Looking forward to learning alot! Been around car audio since my high school days (80's), but just 'entry level' I guess you could say. I have been on the hunt for a while now for equipment. I read a post about a SS sub on another bbs, and came to check it out. Wow, I am impressed..and I dont know half of nothing when it comes to car audio. So, hopefully I wont ask any stupid a$$ questions...I'll go read as much as I can first...but..well I guess that's it....that's my intro... MattB www.e-Autotrim.com

    Hey ladies and gents, Just stopping in to introduce myself. Name is Damion. Current setup is stock but that is only for the moment being. Currently in the process of gathering up a new system. My vehicle is a 2005 Acura RSX. Currently have: Focal 165 kf's components Clarion DPX11551 JL Audio 300/4 In the process of picking up an FI BL, Alpine 9887, 1/0 wiring, and sound deadening. Will be doing the big 3 to start out and then looking into future upgrades for an aftermarket alternator. Unfortunately with the new Honda's/Acura's they have a dual mode charging system. The explanation of the system can be found here... http://opensiuc.lib.siu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article…

    Saw your forum after passing by many on the web. I did post my other info in the "How I found SSA thread"> I'll be lookig to learn more about car audio in general and also looking for feedback on products I'm considering that some of you may have experience with. I currently have a '01 Yukon Denali that I added 2 JL Audio 12w3v2 D4 being pushed by an MA Audio HK898. I know it's not phenomenal, but my car was stolen once and I hate people getting my stuff for free. What I'm doing now(and want to do it right..) Is a 72 Cutlass. I'm strting with components and may add a sub later. If I do subs I was wondering what size? I know the base response would be different than wha…

    Just a brief intro. I'm Josh, 26, from the Houston/Galveston area of TX. I like long walks on the beach and candle lit dinners. Wrong forum? Anyway. I kept coming across this forum while doing research trying to put together a setup for my truck. (turning out to be quite a trick due to space limitations under the back seat) From the short passages I read, it sounds like there are some on here that really know their stuff. I've been reading up a lot on the vendors here on the site and am pretty impressed with all of their products. So, here I am. I registered last night and look forward to learning more and getting to know some of ya'll. Maybe I can be of some help further…

  23. Hay guys I'm trying to find the detailed specs on sundown audio sae-1500d amp protection modes. Not just what will cause protection modes but more like high/low voltage protection circuit .80volt Spike To go into protection mode or something similar. The issue im having is in my f150 setup, 4 sa-15 subs walled with shared air space total of 19.97cubes tuned at 38 hertz. Drivers are 2 sae-1500d sundown amps strapped, and no not with a dam ratchet strap or rope, strapped as in power and two amps bridged to one. Ohm load on all 4 total is 1.23. with seals on and no wind or movements. Power and grounds are way bigger than spec, I'm running 3/0 aka 000 cables that can handle 4…

    Im a 19 y.o. self proclaimed car audio addict who is always looking for something bigger and better. I currently have 2 12" Kicker CVR's in a sealed box with a Audiobahn A8000t amp. I know this is the ultimate newb set up but it hits pretty hard for me. I am looking to upgrade pretty soon to either a 12" AA Havoc or an FI BL in a ported box with a Elemental Designs Nine.1 amp or something very similar. I also currently have all stock electrical but plan on doing the big 3 and possibly a yellow top. i dont want to buy a larger alternator unless i absolutely have to. I do have just a couple of questions, Who would i contact for pricing and dealer info for AA? and Out of …
