    Hey everyone. My name is Thomas and I'm new to the forums. I currently run a 03 Forester with Hertz audio speakers, skar 85.4 amp, a 15" Sundown Zv.3 and a apsm 1500. I love car audio and I'm hoping to learn a lot more. I have been to the site a few times, just never signed up.

    Hey everyone! My name is Robert. I've been in car audio for awhile now. I'm actually in the process of building a new box for my RE SE 15 and i'm gonna see what kind of numbers i can get out of it. I've been using this woofer for sound quality with a kick in a 2.4cuft sealed box with 500w. I'm about to build a 4cuft box tuned to somwhere from 38hz - 40hz not sure yet. Oh and this is all gonna be in a Chevy s10 ext. cab.

    I am now new to these forums and I hope to learn more about car audio by being a member here. It also seems that there is a great deal of people here with much knowledge about the topic unlike other forums. I was referred to SoundSplinter by a friend who swore they were the best LSQ drivers. I will soon find out when I install them in my boy's car. I got into the car audio scene a year ago and have loved it ever since. As soon as I get my new amp I am planning on going to SPL drag's in the Beginner SPL Class and work my way up. Anyways, I am done with my introduction. -Airmack

  21. Started by cobra65427289,

    Well maybe not totally. I joined back in 2003 when the site came back up. I took about a 15 year hiatus from car audio. Spent some time in college, spent some time on my career, spent a little time on life. Now I'm in a comfortable spot in life where I have the time for treating my car like a toy again. So I figure why not stop back by one of the best forums I remember. I'm Alex, from northern illinois, the only older piece of equipment I still have is an old blown Avionixx AXT800.2 so don't expect to see any OG gear haha. I'm still a noob, hoping to gain as much knowledge as I can as quickly as I can about newer gear and doing a simple install in my boring '23…
