    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!

  2. I'm new to the board and I have a problem, so I'll kill two birds with one stone. First off, glad to be here. Hopefully I can share my infinite knowledge of Fruity Pebbles and Poprocks, and you guys can teach me something about car audio in return My name is Donn Ballenger and I run a small internet based company called Gnome Audio. Some of you might have heard of me or know me from other boards, the rest probably don't give a crap. At any rate, it's always great to see a board that's mostly free of the general lameness that goes on at SOME other boards *cough*ca.com*cough* Anyway, this part's for you Aaron. Captain Canada (aka steve) told me to shoot you an email yeste…

    Brand new on the forum here. Been lurking a bit since I ordered my DCON and decided to become official. I'm not totally new to the car audio world having had several set ups in the past, but not an expert by any means. Took a several year hiatus and getting interested again. Current ride is a 2003 Audi a4 avant. Ordered a 10" DCON a few weeks ago and getting excited to receive it. The sub will be getting 3 different boxes, starting with an ideal sealed MDF enclosure, then a close to ideal ported MDF enclosure. Probably ending up in my first attempt at a glass enclosure which will most likely be sealed. I am a guy who really, really needs my cargo space so the MDF enclosur…

    Hi everyone. I've been coming to this message board for about 2 years now just to lurk and read over your technical threads again and again. It has been interesting watching this place change. I've been wanting to engage more with Audio community in general, but I can't bring myself to post on other message boards for reasons we will just leave alone right now. I'm doing what I think are some cool things right now, and I'd like to share and gather input from other users. I used to compete in dB drag, but in the last year i've been more and more interested in hifi and audiophile sound. I have a pair of 36" tall tower speakers I'm going to be rebuilding soon, and a 91 Ho…

    Found this forum from the sundown website. I have a new system going in my titan with CDT ES Gold 3way front stage and a Sundown amp powering it for now. Undecided on subs at this point but much more for SQ than SPL. Looking forward to getting it all together. This is a 04 Nissan Titan King Cab.

    Finally singing in, after watching the forums for a while! Not a total audio whiz, so I hope to learn some and maybe even share some during my stay! As far as where I'm at with audio, I'm between subwoofers at the moment, I fried my RE SXX d2 15" a couple of months ago (I knew it would happen eventually) because A: it was on a RF T1500BDCP, and B: I wanted to push it way lower than box-tuning (damn you Decaf!!!). Having a prefab box (3.5 cubes at "36hz"), even if it was a nicer one, didn't really help either... So, you could maybe even say that it was my NEED for MORE BASS ( as in wanting an even more badass driver) that drove me to keep pushing my lil RE friend till …

    Hello, I'm new to this forum. Ordered 2 DC level 3 15's this week and I can't wait to receive them. I tried to build a small low power system in my Dodge Ram ( 2 twelves on a Memphis 1000D). but I can't take it any more. I NEED BASS IN MY LIFE! I'm planning on using the DC 2.0 for power ( after the alt and extra battery). I hope to learn from you guys on here. Thanks

    Hello to all! This is my first post and I'd like to get some info (please). I've a 2007 Subaru Forester that I plan on having a system installed and have some questions concerning the install. The system will consist of Tru amps, t03-250.2 (for sub) & t03-4.150 (for front tweets & mids). HU will be Clarion DRZ-9255. The speaks will be either Hybrid Audio Referernce or Seas Reference. Anyway, here are the questions & pardon me, I know only enough about installs to start a fire. 1-Are the DRZ-9255 crossovers active & do I need outbord crossovers? 2-Is there such a thing as a sub that can/will compliment the seas or Hybrid drivers? 3. I've only 2 inches of cl…
