    Hello ssa forum. I'm new to the whole car audio forum. I'm in the works of building a system. Haven't had any slap since high school. As I have found technology has greatly change since then, sure I will have plenty of questions. Run down I have a 07 Saturn ion looking to get a Q18 2 ohm in the trunk running it with a rockford T1500 amp. Should sound good since my car is pretty much just plastic. Been curious if the dent resistant panels are bass proof lol. Just throwing out there clueless on how to power this amp "cheaply" as in not looking to have to buy a alt. Thank you ahead of time for the welcomes.

    My name is Corey and I am from Lansing, Michigan. I have been installing car audio components and designing/building enclosures since I was 14 years old. I will be 32 this year. Needless to say I am hooked! I have always creeped around the forums but never really posted anything. I am in the process of doing my own car now and I figured I would post it up. Look for me in the builds section.

    Good Evening from San Antonio TX. I am very lucky to have found this forum and appreciate the opportunity to share information and ideas from quite a bit of history in the 12 volt arena. My current project is a 2007 Tahoe; very stealth. I'm in the planning stages at present. I plan on utilizing the factory changer, and keeping the steering wheel controls and XM along with OnStar. So thats the plan. Now for the selection of equipment and execution of the install. I do have an EQL Audio Control in house so I guess you could say I've started <G>. Anyway, I appreciate the venue and look forward to the assistance and assisting. At 62 years of age, if it's too loud…

    Hey guys I just joined here but have been a member of another audio forum for a few years. My current set up I have in my expedition is a pioneer f900 head unit, inifinity kappa components in the front doors and kappa 6x9's in the back powered by a alpine 400.4 amp. Right now I have a 12" mach 5 audio ixl powered by a total mobile audio 1000.1. Pretty happy with that set up but have always wanted a big sub so I ordered a 15" FI Bl and just got it today. I get my expedition back tomorrow and then am going to install it. I built a 3.5 cu.ft box that is tuned to 32hz. I am in the process of covering it in truck bed liner and hoping it turns out alright. I joined the forum to…

    Hello fellow bassheads. I'm new and wanted to show off my system. It's not complete yet I was just dying to hear it. My build consists of Xs power d3100 under the hood, xs power d375 behind seat, all 0 gauge wires and big 3, kilmat (the thicker stuff), 2 12" SSA icons in 4.1 cu ft box, aeroport tuned to 32hz, 2 soundqubed U1-1500 amps (one to each sub). Nvx Loc tapped into rear door speakers. Audio control epicenter (for my Hank Williams and old country music). Sounds great in my F150.
