    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 guys. Finally decided to post somethin so I just registered, which i guess makes me a newby? Anyway, I am definitely enjoying my RL-P 15. It is currently in a simple 2cuft box running off a SoundStream Reference 500sx. I will be switching cars soon which explains the simple box. This sub gets good and loud and I haven't even done any tuning or messing around w location. The quickness is incredible. My front stage consists of CDT EF-51 components and dayton 8's for midbass. Both run off SoundStream REF 604 which may soon be replaced by a Monitor 4channel. About myself... Have been studying mechanical engineering at University of Florida for 3yrs now. Been into car aud…

    I guess I should announce my arrival to the ssaudio board... sup kids... Denim got ahold of me and told me he could use some help on the Computers section of the site. I guess I should provide some background information to justify my existence... I pimp a 2K4 civic ex, it is probably the only bone stock civic left on this earth. I'm looking to blast my Ace of Base cd with my stock 6x9's, but i don't know if they can handle that B-A-S-S bass. I push a 2K4 Harley-Davidson sportster, so no audio equipment can be added... Home audio is my specialty (3 subs, 8 mid ranges, and 5 tweeters all infinity speakers with Onkyo components... PUMP up da volume!)... I'm also a program…

  15. I need a complete new system so it's good that I was able to find this site b4 i made any reckless purchases. I need 2front and 2back speakers replaced. I also want a sub n amp that kicks HARD when i need it to but i can control the amount of bass easily. I've been looking at a single 12" VS12L7 kicker sub (2-OHM) in a SOLO-BARIC BOX with a HIFONICS BRUTUS BXi1608D 1600-Watt D-Class. Would this b a good combo for what I need? (sorry if my description on these 2 things dnt add up cuz i'm not sure wat any of this means). im also gonna need a new radio btw but i'll worry about that later

    so here is how i found this site. being from charlotte nc i knew about sundown and SI. i blew up my kicker kx1200.1 yesterday and not wanting that nasty sloppy power it was giving out decided to get a sundown 1000d. i picked it up about an hour and a half ago plus some 0ga wire. i have to say it isnt as powerful as the kicker but the soud difference is night and day. the kicker was very sloppy and had a very uncontrolled sound to it, if that makes any sense. the sundown has surprised me in clarity and the output is plenty for my 2 type r 12's. now its just time to rebuild my box because its put together like crap, and sounds like it to.

    Hey guys, just wanted to say hey to everyone. I've been a member of Termpro for years but never posted much, then became a member of SMD back when there was only like 100 of us on there. I've heard of this forum quite a bit, and now that I'm on the computer a lot with the jobs I do, I figured I would sign up for SSA. I figured it was just gonna be like most of the audio forums, but I gotta say, this place is pretty damn nice! Quality content, lots of information, and everyone seem to be pretty cool here. Between this forum and SMD, my new build this spring should be the biggest, baddest build I've ever done! Anyways, just wanted to say hi to everyone, and I'm glad to be …

    I'm on CAF by the same name, it's gone screwy so I've popped over here. That's basically it...is there a protocol for this site like you have to be here for x amount of days before you can offer advice or weird stuff like that? My "system" if you can call it that, right now is two SSD's in a ported box off a hifonics bxi 1606d with type r comps of a PG 250.2. Within the month is going to completely change to a 10" BL off a cadence txa1000d, phoenix gold ti6's or if I can get the fundage Focal k2ps, off a cadence txa 3002. Fully deadened doors, amp racks and everything...I'll keep ya'll posted.
