  1. 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…

    Hi, I just ran across this forum and it seemed like a great place to set up shop and get back into the audiophile swing of things. I'm from lexington, Ky and I'm trying to catch up on everything I've missed in the industry over the past few years. Had a really bad experience getting my system jacked and decided to take a few steps back, still makes me steamed thinking there may be someone around here bumping my Brahma, not knowing really what this crazy sub is... Anyway, thanks for having me!

    Hello all SSA junkies! I'm new to SSA, but not to audio. My name's Mark, and I'm from Anchorage Alaska. I've got a 2000 Ford F-150 Lightning that I'm building a system for. I've been collecting bits and pieces, both new and used. Here's the basics of what's going in; MTX Thunderform box, 1.7 cu ft Q-forms kick panels, will be custom enclosed with fiberglass. Two sets of Hertz HSK165's. One mid placed in door, other in kick panel. Both tweets in kick panels. Crescendo Audio 1000C4 for the front stage Kicker IX1000.1 for the subs Still debating on the subs, but I'm leaning towards some Sundown SA-10's. I'd really like the new SSA Icon 10 when it's released, but I'm sure t…

    Just thought I'd introduce myself. My system in my 00 sunfire is currently just cheap Duals from best buy, but have plans to upgrade it, which is why I joined this forum. I have a lot to learn and hope I learn a lot here. What makes me want to upgrade most is sitting in my friends grand am with just one 10" Alpine Type X. The Duals have been my first system and when upgrading I'm pretty much looking at going all out with, with a ton of bass, but still retaining good sound quality. At this point I don't really know what to look for, I don't really have a set budget. If I think somethings worth the extra cash, I'll buy it. The 15" Rockford Fosgate T2's are pretty expensive,…

    Hello everyone. My name is Justin, I am 23 years old and I am pretty much a newbie on this forum as said under my name, I have been in the Car audio industry for quite sometime and I love it even though it is very additive. On my spare time from work I love to test products from the car audio industry and recommend them to friends and family as well as write a full review on the forums of what I thought of the product.. I am also into doing some pretty decent installs and have been planning to do a full blown mach 5 system when testing is done.. Well sorry about my long post, but I thought I would share some of my background.. Justin

    Wow, I barely remember joining this forum a year ago. I believe I came here to look up some information on Mach5 Audio who regretfully is no longer here. Anyhow, this has to be a world record between my forum join date and my first post.

    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.

    Whats up guys? I've always had a car stereo system, just the basic mainstream stuff and here lately I've been really getting into the unknown brands of car audio. Unknown where I live anyways. I just acquired anightshade 18 and am going to purchase another one and see how long it takes to beat my truck to death. I'm not here to pretend like I know it all or anything like that, I'm here to learn from the best! Please school the youngster guys. Anyways thought I'd make my presence known and say hi to everybody.

    Hey everyone, I'm new here, but been in car audio for while. Figured I'd come over here and do a bit of research. I'm lookin for a new sub stage, and being that this is the official Fi forum, it seems I came to the right place to read up and learn. Right now my system is pretty much complete minus the sub Pioneer 880PRS Next Audio VRz4.400 Peerless HDS Nomex 7" mids LPG 26na Linear Power 2.2hv Right now, I'll hopefully be able to get an 05 xxx 15 from Shawn if all works out, or my other choice is the Fi Q 12". I'm looking for strictly sound quality before anything, either will be run off my 2.2HV which is anywhere from 1k to 1.5k watts of clean power. I'm just hoping…
