    Hi everybody. After almost two years of following/searching the thread I've decided to start posting. I'm in Broken Arrow, OK and have been addicted to all things audio for as long as I can remember. Outside of mobile audio I build tube/valve amplifiers and hornloaded loudspeakers.

    I'm new to your forum. Been on caraudio.com for a real long time with plenty of refs on there and on ebay. I also run a pair for 2 12" SSA Icons in a custom built box by BJ Fisher right now. But in all reality I'm trying to sell them.

    Hey, Ryan here I'm terrible at these intro things so I guess I'll jump right in... In my quest to keep weight in my car low, and to use a small-ish box, I'm really striking out for sub choices. I have a PG RSd10 in a .7 (net) sealed box, stuffed liberally. It gets low, but requires a bit of power and it's pretty annoying above 80Hz. I'm bored, so I was considering porting it. It's a 350 RMS sub, single 4, and supposedly 84dB efficient...although I'm betting that's at 2.83V I'm giving it 400 watts currently. WinISD recommends a 1.8 cu ft box (before port and sub displacement)...ummm...no. Not doing that. Most other subs I look at want 3-4 cu ft Definitely not. Here's wh…

  10. Hello everyone. I was browsing this forum and it looks like the people here are more mature than other forums.......you know which one... anyways, I have a sundown saz1500d v1 and an american bass VFL extreme 15" All stock wiring and stock battery and I have 4awg about 4 feet to the battery which is located in the trunk. The sub slams pretty hard, but I notice a wierd burning rubber smell when I play it loud (not normal car rubber. It's more toxic, if that makes sense. A guy from CL said that I'm probably clipping the sub since I have all stock wiring. Would a second battery do the trick? Any help appreciated. Car is a 2010 HHR LT

  14. Started by mimo73,

    Hey guys and gals. Just signed up so here is my official introduction. My names Mike, I'm a 36 year old family man and have been into audio since the late 80's. I got sucked into it by my much older brother who was an installer back in the 80's and early 90's and had a love for it way before I could drive. I got out of it all together for several years when I started a family and then dove back in a couple years a go when I started building up my 06 Sierra to go to shows. Looking forward to being part of your community here.

    Greetings, I am Joe, aka OnYrMrk and I have been competing off and on for about 20 years. I have competed in Thunder On Wheels, IASCA, Car Audio Nationals, USACi. I am a USACi SQ Judge and started off the 2006 season with a sponsorship from Focal. Love the product, love Orca Distributing, but left because they wanted me to sell my Audison amps and run STEG or Focal. I am on a limited budget so I reluctantly left Focal without burning a bridge. If you get to work with them, Nick Wingate is a fantastic ear to tune your car. I have now created Team Non-Conformist we are small, we don't carry any sponsorships, we paid for our own equipment, and we compete I look forwar…

    Hello everyone, newbie here. I am 25 and from IL. I have been in car audio since I was 16. My first set up was 2-10" kicker comps with a punch 40 and an eclipse deck, not sure the model now. I have been looking at the d2's as I have seen them at comps, so I thought I would join, since I have been reading the forum anyway. Roger. so another member.

    I've been out of car audio for 15 years now and am just starting to get back in. Can't wait to get some good info from people who actually know something about car audio. It's a refreshing change from customer reviews and other forum posts like "I got 4 12"s that slam so hard my girlfriend went into labor!"
