    Just checking in to say "hi" to the forum. I am a noob to this forum from California Bay Area (South Bay). Going to purchase a SSA DCON 12D4. Found out about this site and SSA subs through some other forum. Glad I did!

    This will be my 3rd post in the Newbie section so I may venture out into the general forum population I think the best introduction may be what I am currently working with and were I hope to go. I have a Kenwood head unit, (the model evades me now but its on the way out the door as I bought a new double din today) The mids and highs come courtesy 6.5 and 6x9 Infinity Kappa Reference speakers powered by an Alpine 500 watt amp. The lows are coming to the party via an Incriminator Audio 12" Lethal Injection sub currently mounted in an Atrend SPL box, it's being motivated by an Alpine 650 watt mono-block amp. I say currently because this is not the sound I want, I got the b…

    What's up everyone? Just signed up and looking to get some insight on car audio after being out of the scene for a number of years. I currently have a Toyota FJ Cruiser with a Kenwood DNX8120 HU, Polk Audio SR6500 components, JL Audio co-axials for rear fill, 2-JL 10W3V3's in a Wicked C.A.S. enclosure, Dynamatted fron doors and rear quarters. I am anxiously awaiting the new Zed Leviathan for power.

    Hey guys. I'm Dane. Was told by swagger_wagon468 to join here. Met him a couple weeks ago and we got to talking about my rig. I'm pretty new into the SPL world, and audio in general, so I'm not the smartest on the subject, but everyone has to start somewhere right? My first system was a cool concept. The box was built inside of the back seat. Sealed, had like .75 cubic ft of space. Was a Pioneer shallow mount 10". Blew that in a week. Went to a Memphis shallow mount 12", blew 7 of those and Memphis told me they wouldn't warranty them anymore. Then I went to a JL Audio 13tw5. Was a great speaker, I just wanted more, and the Kicker ZX750.1 was pushing the limits of that sub…

    Hello all. Its been a while since I was into or did anything with car audio, but I've always had music in my blood so the fever has come around again. Hoping to catch up on what's new and hot and see what I can do to upgrade my recently acquired Mazdaspeed 3.

    Scott and Fi, I would just like to say thank you for all your time and help with my 3rd straight IASCA Bass Boxing World Championship. You are a great person Scott and Fi BTL's are the best sub I have ever owned. I will never run another sub. I have had 2 other companys offer me free sponsorships since SBN. I told them no thanks I would rather pay Scott thank run your stuff. My 2nd Championship was won with the old BTL's and my 3rd was won with the new BTL's. Scott call me when you get a chance.

  25. Yep...Santa did it this year: 2 x 18 Fi Bl -Dual 1, Cooling, Flatwind, Daily, Non-universal. Sundown Saz-3000d (thanks acex3a) 180max/135idle Iraggi alternator ~40' of 1/0 welding wire still need to get some 1/0 battery terminals and clamps for 1/0 big three and a new battery under the hood. dunno if I want to tackle the box this time around, might just have a shop do it. planning on doing ~15 cubes after displacement, and tuned to 32 or 33 hz. I know nothing about sound acoustics, and the effects of internal design. so plain jane rectangle is gonna have to jive for now.
