    Hey everyone, This i my first time making an account in any forum so my bad if anything isn't formatted correctly. My name is Robert but I go by Rich, I live in Central Florida. I've been into car audio for about 5 years now so I'm still pretty new. I've had two different sound setups, one was a Sundown x-12 on a Crescendo 1500.1 in a Ford Ranger the other was 4 sa-10s crammed into the ass end of a Grand Marquis on a Soundqubed 2200. Right now I'm driving a bone stock Camry and I'm still undecided on what kind of sound upgrades I'm going to do to it. I've lurked on a bunch of different car audio forums for years but figured I'd go ahead and make a…

    I just decided to get back into car audio about 2 months ago I've been out of it a long . The last time I did anything serious mb quart precision power and audio control and Orion were the top brands needless to say things have changed a lot. I have been reading thru the post on the forum trying to catch back up but there are a lot more brands now . If I ask a stupid question let me apologize in advance but sundown and fi and all these other brands ssa sells weren't even around back then .

    I would like to introduce myself, I'm Nick from Houston. First, thanks for making an incredible place for someone like myself to learn and discuss audio. I found sundown and that's what led me here. I'm a DIY person but don't have quite as much knowledge as I should and would like to educate myself with the goal of reducing my mistakes. Car audio has changed quite a bit. My last system was 2 used 12's and amp installed in a 91 eagle talon back in high school. Oh, I also had tweeter stuck to the pillars completing my "system". So, Id like to eventually build a complete system that is loud as hell, but done the right way. So far I have 1 sundown x-10 in a 1.3cuft ported…

    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!!!

    I'm just here for the free Mach 5 Audio sub! I kid, I kid. Let's see, I'm 17, a car audio enthusiast, and I'm decent with graphic designing. I've currently got two MTX 12" 4500's in my trunk, which I'm looking to sell and replace with two Mach 5 12"s. Other than that, I'm a self-proclaimed genius and history nerd.

    Hey everyone first time posting so hopefully not doing it wrong. My question is has anyone had issues using jl fix 86. I have 17 Silverado with factory Bose. Only thing factory I’m using is the head unit the issue I have is my mids have always been kinda flat I’m pretty certain it’s a calibration issue it always says it’s calibrated and all lights green but I literally returned speakers thinking something was wrong with them then discovered re calibrating the fix will make it sound different sometimes but always shows it calibrated. I’m thinking maybe different vehicles may require extra steps to acomplish proper calibration. I did get it a little better by turning gains…

    Hello all - Just thought I would say hello. I own a few large forums myself. Lincoln vs Cadillac forums, for you luxury car owners, and I also own a popular Classic Mopar Forum. But, I have my own audio interests so I signed on here. Hello everyone! I own a 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII and a 1968 Lincoln Conti I am currently restoring. Here are some Photos of the Mark VIII and the car audio system I have installed. I am thinking about upgrading to the new Pioneer AVIC-Z3 Series - so I wanted to know if you guys had any thoughts?

No but really, I joined this website because ive been lacking on the car audio forum side of the internet and this website kept popping up in my search results and my Anti-Virus kept saying it was a malicious website so I decided to turn off the AV and here I am, currently got questions about power upgrades to a 4,000w system I am building.
