new to the site but not to car audio Same screen name on CA.COM hopefully im wont get scammed here

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

Hey everyone. My names Luke. I'm from Sydney Australia. I'm 17 and I've been into car audio for about 3 years. My fave brands are Kicker, Focal and Fusion.

Quick search and I didn’t find an answer to this easy question so I’ll ask here: If I go with US Acoustics Barbara Ann 100x4 @ 4 ohm amp how can I wire 2 Evil tweets and 2 Evil midbasses? I was figuring buy the tweets in 8 ohm to roughly power them w an estimated 50W from two channels active and get the midbasses in 4 ohm to roughly power them w an estimated 100W from the other two channels active. Is that how it works? Is each load independent on each channel thus getting independent power from the amplifier? This seems obvious but I’m not sure.

Hello, I live in the French Caribeans where you don't have so much choice or informations on car audio. Thanks to all the internet forums ! I have a Toyota Auris (it is the new Corolla hatchback) with a little trunk. Here is my setup : hu Pionner 88 prs, speakers : focal 165KP (fr) and Davis Acousticscvt130(rear)on a Boston GT42 amp. sub:Kicker s15L74 on a Jl audio A1800D amp. Secondskin deadening,...... M sub is in a 4 cu ft sealed enclosure; and I really like the powerful output, but not so much the quality. I want to save some space in the trunk; I need a sub that can play very well in a 2 to 3 cu ft enclosure. I found the SSA Icon 15 or the FI Q 15 on the web, and thi…

Hey, im a new guy from Wilmington, NC. Found this site from Sundown's site. Working on putting my truck back together that I havent competed with in a few years. Hope to see some of you at some shows Brian

Its good to finally find the starting point in here. Hello all

just wanted to say hi to everyone. Im new here and this place has some nice subs and setup as well as good information.

Hey folks. I'm here to learn more about car audio. I've got a 2006 MINI Cooper S that has a piss poor OEM system and a lot of road noise. I've decided I will do sound deadening and audio system improvement. I have a handle on what I am going to do for the deadening, but the audio part is a maze right now. An item that would help me immediately is recommendations for shops to listen to speakers in the Southern California area. Thanks for your help. Paul

I just wanted to introduce myself to everyone. I was really into car audio about 15 years ago, but a wife and kids pulled me away. I have recently got the itch again, and I have been reading everything I can to catch up on what has been going on. This forum has been a big help so far, and I'm sure it will continue to be in the future. Thanks, and glad to be here.

Same sub you choose which to stay with...........

Hi im Larry And i came across this forum looking for some hard hitting tens for my ford f-150 it is a 1995 model single cab .I do not have any of the equipment yet i am still looking, But i am leaning towards the ssa icon's but since it is a single cab i need something skinny. I have about 8-9 inch's of space to work with and i was just want something that hits hard and sounds good.

hello everybody im new and was wondering what system i should choose. I have a 1200 dollar budget and have previously owned a pair of audiobahn high excursion 10's ran off of a dual amp. pioneer avx7300 deck and pioneer 6 1/2 up front with kicker tweeters and memphis 6 1/2 in rear deck. I didnt really care for this system lacked alot of sq an didnt get loud or beat at all. I am looking at getting this system but want advice before i do anything.By the way the car is a 97 ford taurus G and im attempting a LOUD SOUND QUALITY setup. We will be listening to rap such as tech n9ne,3 6 mafia underground,r&B,ROCK hinder, nickle backect,Classic Rock,techno,hip hop,Metal,an to …

Sad and exciting day. I just boxed up my 04 RE 12" XXX to send it to it's new owner. I also just placed my order for an 06 RE 12" XXX. I found this site during my hunt for a new amp for my new sub.

Just wanted to say hello to everyone on here all the way from Hawaii, my name is Joe by the way.

well so far ive been looking at a few different subs. ireally just want to play rap music with the lower frequencies so ive been looking at 18's. so far my options are dd 9518 with all options, fi btl with all options, atomic apxx, and the tc sounds lms ultra. If anyone has an opinion it would greatly be appreciated oh but i also want the sub to last as long as possible with the rated rms applied to all of th eabove
