ok so I guess I should've made this my 1st post but I didn't scroll far enough down to see all the "new here" posts. oh well. anyways I'm Jason. I have a 2003 chevy avalanche. new to forums but not to SSA. I have 2 12in icons currently. but I'm planning on changing my whole system around. originally I planed for more sq. but it's just not loud enough for me. sooooo I'm still in the planning stage. but I've almost got it figured out.

Hi to all, I'm a newbie from sunny Italy and I drive a 1995 BMW e36 coupè with some mods. The stereo system installed in the beemer: Alpine cva1005r Rockford p8004 Impact hc550.2 REaudio sx12 subs Vifa pl27neo Vifa a13 Doubleshoot box

Hi This i what i'm working with: 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel Quad Cab Big 3 upgraded 2- 15" fi BL 2- kicker zx1000.1 3/4" MDF custom center console box with 5.6 cuft of airspace after sub disp, bracing, and port. Would love to have a bigger box, but space is LIMITED. No divider between subs/ subs share air space Single Slot Port is 15.5" x 3" and 14.75" long (around 32 hz?) Subs will be down firing and port will face up. Definitely SPL Questions: 1- Are the port dimensions correct for a 32 hz tune? I keep getting different measurements depending on the port calc I use. I think carstereo.com is what I settled on. 2- With the port area only being 46.5 sq in instead of t…

Hello everyone, Im new to SSA but have been a member over at **** since 2008. If your on **** you would know me as 1loudmonte. Though I would sign up for SSA and see how everything is over here.

Just wanted to say hey and my name is Billy and I have a 1973 vw beetle that I have about 15,000$ into and now its time to do some car audio im determin to make it the loudest car in my area.

Great looking message board. I currently have some very basic car audio knowledge, but hope to learn a lot more from this site and apply it to my installs.

Just got my recone kits for my two old Beyond Audio X-ones. I got the glue with them as well, and was wondering how the clear liquid in the spray bottle, likely hardener, is used during the recone process? Anyone can shed some light on this? I tried to search to no avail. Thanks

New here. Drive an Eddie Bauer Explorer. I ordered the 12" Icon and Sundown 1000 combo on Monday. Can't wait to get it in. It said 3 day ground so I guess Ill get it tomorrow or Friday at the latest. Didnt get a tracking number so not quite sure. Im not worried about it though. Im assuming that ICON12D2 means Icon 12" dual 2 ohm so I can run it at 1ohm right? Couldnt imagine them selling the 1 ohm DVC with the amp. Anyways, thanks for the forum and the products. I'll be sure to make a build log when I order my wire and start on the box.

Finally signed up here. Currently running a Sundown E12 in a 1.5 cubic foot enclosure tuned to 33Hz off of a JL 500/1. It is an absolute steal for the price.

I spent the whole day today surfing the forums and reading all the great information posted here, and I couldnt help but join. I have been into car audio for about 8 or so years now, and have been a regular on Sound Domian about as long. Just thought I'd say hello to all of the audiophiles here. Thanks

ok so basically I bought an amp and sub and box for $650 with tax from the local car audio shop. The prices were the same as cructchfield for the amp and sub. The problem is the "universal" ported box they gave me for $50. I did a lot of research and it turns out the box needs to be specifically built for the sub or it can damage it and not hit hard enough. The sub hits pretty hard as is but it definitely doesn't feel like it's getting it's potential My sub is a JL 12w3v3-4 and the amp is an RF P500-2 My main question is: Should I take the universal box back and get a $50 credit towards the custom box (which will probably be marked up a ton) or cut my losses, try to sell …

Well, the name is George. Car is a 1983 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. The car has been with me for more than 10 yrs now and not much has been done. My audio has always come from Wal-Mart via Pioneer, Sony, Visionik, even Roadmaster. My first best subs were some JL 12w0's in a prowedge box that took me all summer to save for and I had to drive to Atlanta, Ga to get them. OI thought I was doing something. Then a guy from Montgomery had two Cerwin Vega Stroker 15"s in a Ford Explorer. We're a little slower here in lower Alabama for car audio. However we're bred for football that's why we dominate the SEC. Can you say Roll Tide? How bout War Damn Eagle? Car audio on th…

Noob to the forum but not to car audio...... That is all

New to SSA! just checking in finally after creeping around the forum for a while.

I have no experience in enclosure construction at all and have been tearing through forums for some helpful advise in enclosure designs. I am pretty confused at this point about some things and was wondering if anyone could clear it up? I am under the impression that if a certain speaker is in a smaller enclosure that it will handle more power and a larger enclosure will be more efficient (less box rise). so if that is true, will they be equal in spl if they receive the same amount of power (after rise) rather its in a "smaller" or "larger" enclosure? i have also heard of people covering ports to play with their tuning, is this just a solid cover reducing the height/width…

What up SSA!! I'm a newbie to this forum, but not in car audio. I mostly chill out over on SMD, but will be checking in over here!!

Hello all SSA members, william here .. eh you may call me Kyle. Im glad to have an account with this awesome forum and hope that i can learn from many of you!

I've been into car audio for a year and a half and i have alot of people fooled with what i do know for being into it for such a short period of time. for starters i drive a 2000 oldsmobile alero. for a deck i have a Pioneer Premier DEX-P1R, Some VR3's in the back deck... (you'll know why i went so cheap in a minute....). and a Memphis EQ50 in the dash. for the bass i have a 15" Pioneer Premier TS-W8102SPL in a crappy 2.75 cu.ft' box, (my 12th box but first 15") i redid the calculations and it's about 67 hz. lol. but regardless with the box falling apart and the car built the day before comp i hit a 139.1 at the dash (termpro) i've since built a new box thats 1.5" MDF …

Found this place out of the blue, actually. I have been sitting on a BoltarVII for about 12 years - waiting for the right person to have repair it(long story) I came across the Zed repair site which had a link here. I didn't get a response to my inquiry so I'm hoping I can find someone here to take it on. I was in my late teens early twenties when the car audio explosion hit here. I had a friend that was just starting a shop and carried the whole unknown HiFonics line and was totally blown away. Now I'm 42 and looking to get back into it. Hello to all!!!

Wassup mofos my name is Edgar Cervantes and I am from Los Angeles california!! SoCal Represent im new to this forum but iv been in some other ones

Hey everyone! Wanted to check in and say HEY from Jacksonville, FL. The "not so much lately" sunshine state

Im new, name's Nick, figured this place would be good to expand my knowledge about car audio!

Looking to start a new sound system build. Wondering if 2 Fi btls can run a 4000-5000 watt amp for each sub ? I previously had 2 Alpine type x's which i loved.

Hey everybody i finally got around to registering here. i have been a fan of this forum for a while just been to lazy to join.

Hey all, I'm Clay. Just thought I'd say hi. I joined because I've been a long time ROE member and lurker on here so I thought I'd join. I love the manufacturers area, you really can't beat it for keeping up with all the new products coming out and it's def the main sellling feature for me on SSA
