    I've finally decided to join the rest of the world and add my .02 on forums. I've been viewing posts on this site since '99. I collect O/S US Amps. Some might say I'm addicted...I have 18 sitting in my spare bedroom! I'm in the military stationed in Japan. Getting good deals on audio equipment here is hard to come by. Shipping here gets even trickier. Just wanted to introduce myself and say "Hello."

    Hi all. Another new guy here. Been lurking for a while and finally decided to introduce myself. I'm Dan from east central Kansas. I was into car audio in high school and for a few years after, but got out of it about 5 years ago. Somehow I came across ***** *****'s videos on Youtube and got bit by the bug once again. Looking to build a small system for a 2000 Dodge Dakota Ext. Cab since I've only got one payment left on it (yes!). Very intrigued by the non-mainstream brands that have come out since I've been out of the scene and I'm having a hell of a time deciding what to get. That's about it. I'm a pretty boring person. Dan

    Hi, I'm new to SSA but I'm on lots of other forums (12volt, clublexus, lexusownersclub, b20vtech, ect.) under the same screen name. I have completed a few very basic automotive audio setups in the past but I figure this is probably a great place to stay up to date. I also build custom enclosures for friends and sometimes other people with deep pockets. I'm unemployed at the moment so I may be on here often for info, advice and general forum BS. My current vehicle is a 2002 Lexus GS300 with a Kenwood DNX7100 HU wired up to a soundstream vangogh and JL500 amp pushing Infinity Kappa Perfect 6.5 components upfront and Polk Audio MMC6500 tweeters and crossovers paired wi…

    Well I'm from Dallas, Tx and I've been into car audio for about 15yrs. I've always done my own installs other than build the box ( I suck at box building/designing). Currently I have a 2001 chevy s-10 extended cab. I hope there are others in this forum that are from around me. I found this forum because I've been looking at redoing my whole system from the ground up. I've always been a Jl fan but I kinda want to go more spl now.
