    I have an 18" Avalanche that i bought about 1.5 yrs ago. Was wondering how much it would cost to get it reconed. Had it in a 13cu.ft box tuned to 30hz with 1200RMS and i loved it, but i assume it took all it could and is now making a scratching sound when i turn it up.

    Well, I was a lurker, and light user before, but I think I will take a better look at SSA I' am from SMD, and I guess I'am tired of seeing the same faces with the same comments over there, so I'am here now I'am a big audio enthusiast, been installing mobile audio since 96'ish, did 4-5 years of speaker assembly, design, and prototyping. I currently do a lot of reconing, and speaker modifications

    After a few year vacation I'm back. Since then the Explorer and the system are gone and now I have an 06 Altima. In the coming months I'll be trying to do something small like a single 10 or a 12. I miss anything good? haha.

    Met Mark LaFountain last night while I was hanging out with bassahaulic in Baton Rouge. Was talking about how I wanted to put 4 15s in my truck and didn't know what brand or how I was going to go about doing it and he (of course) mentioned SSA. He mentioned wanting to see some "ZCONs" or something in there. Well . . . guess I'll check it out I'll be posting up a current build log shortly. All my former rides are on www.youtube.com/cfmetal16

    Haaaay everyone! I've missed this board probably the most out of all the ones I abandoned in the last 8 months or so. I've been super busy with life and work and Argentina and cars getting wrecked, stolen and bought.. But here I am again. Call me a jerk for not posting all of my feelings on the internet as they happen, but hey, what are you gonna do. So to make a VERY long story short. I was in Beunos Aires for almost 4 months. Came back to Arizona in January. Got lost in work, got a raise. Got my Civic stolen, rented a Pontica for 34days. Bought a BRIGHT RED 2005 Toyota Tacoma today and quite obviously, got the itch to do something with the music situation. So I'm back. …

  23. Jim from CA, been on here for somethime and was on longer, but for some reason had to re-register. Anyway, just saying hi and will be looking for some help and opinions on how to best hook up my stuff in the future. It will be going in a 1970 Chevy Blazer I'm sloowly but surely restoring and will be putting a system in it sometime down the road. So far, I have aquired speakers for it little by little and now will concentrate on looking how to configure them around the new Zed Audio amps, and figure out which ones to purchase as budget permits.

    Hey everyone, my name is Josh LaFountain (Mark LaFountains brother) from Baton Rouge, LA. I used to compete very heavily (Team S.P.E.A.D ) in USACi super stock and street beat. Spent about 4 years in the hobby then sold it all to help fund college. But now im getting back in bigger than ever! I used to have an ext. cab Ranger with a pair of Hifonics Goliaths, 5 batts, and 3 RE MT 15's. Spent 4 years doing nothing but burping 52Hz and tweaking every single moving part to get that extra dB. But now im fed up with that and wanna build a complete monstrous ground pounder. So I'm coming out to see Mark in phoenix soon and hopefully we can do an extreme makeover truck edition…
