    I'm Scott, out of Atlanta Georgia. I'm a up and coming/learning installer. Currently at Fry's Electronics. I've been learning on my own, making every mistake in the books since I was 15 and my buddy got his first car. I'm now only 19, and 3 months into being a working installer. So far worked on some really cool cars, done some pretty cool installs. Just a few pics of my favorite installs so far. I'm more of an SQ guy but I'm getting into SPL. Something about seeing metal flex like rubber puts a smile on my face. I look forward to learning a lot here, I can tell there is already a lot for me to read through and that this is an exceptionally knowledgeable forum!

    hey all. Well, signed up on here a while ago, and haven't really posted. Well, I'm working midnights right now and thought I'd take the time to finally get back into it. As for about me/my vehicle/set up. Right now, I am running: Head Unit: Alpine cda-7998 (love it, phenomenal and does everything I could ask) mids/highs: Clarion SRS-1686 component set (6.5" midbass woven glass cone, 3/4" tweeter silk dome)(very impressed, but then, my ears like the sound of woven glass fiber cones...) Subwoofers: currently (2) clarion SW 1251 12" (single 4 ohm VC, 350 watts RMS) Enclosure: 4 cubic foot net dual slot ported tuned to 32 Hz, common chamber (built in two hours, while the lit…

    Just wanted to say hi to all. I just pulled the trigger on a refurb saz1500 on ebay for 400. Been looking at the amp for over a year now( I take a long time to make money decisions!). It will replace my audiobahn a3201t running at 840 rms @4 ohms. Actually a very good amp, it pushed my 4 sealed mtx thunder 5500 10's to 140.7. I'll be moving th AB to my front stage, and freeing up my 6 channel for other duties .

    What's going on. Came across this site and it seems real chill. Been out of car audio for a little while now. Trying to get any type of suggestions for sub, components, and mids/highs amp. I already have a Diamond Audio D5 1200.1, and really only want one sub. Not trying to blow everyone away, more into the SQ aspect, but every once in a while will turn it up and pound. Thanks and hope to enjoy this site.

    Hi all, new to the site. Just got interested in car audio so my wife and I could listen to our mp3 players during our daily commute. Now I'm hooked and I'm in the process of building a decent system for my car. So far I've got a JCV-KDS100 headunit (a little underwhelmed with that now) and some Phoenix Gold RSD65cs components up front (very impressed with those). Currently in the process of buying an amp for the front stage, then maybe something for rear fill...and if I can hide it from my wife...perhaps a subwoofer in the near future. Great to be here, I've already learned a ton before even posting this.

    Hello from Chicago to everyone on the forum! I have been reading different posts and build logs quite regularly in the last few months in order to gain the most amount of information as possible. I have been installing car audio since 1993, but I took sort of a hiatus for a number of years since I was in the Army and then college; although I did have had a couple of builds since moving to Chicago. I am just finally getting around to signing in…officially. I purchased some audio equipment quite a few months ago, but I am just finally getting around to installing in my new car…a 1998 Honda Civic… (I was hit by a hit and run-drunk driver last year, which totaled out my othe…

    I drive a 96 accord sedan, its basically just a beater until I get out of college in a year and buy something nice. I'm looking to put a new headunit, and a sub in it. Currently it is all stock. So I'm looking for recommendations on a basic headunit (under 200? is that realistic?) that can just play cds and also an ipod. I've been looking at subs and amps also, in particular the FI Q 10 or 12. What amp would you guys recommend with these subs? I also see that they have a clearance on the X 12, what amp would you recommend with that sub? http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...26684&st=60 I want to keep sub+amp under 550 hopefully. Realistically, is my car goi…
