    Hey guys, I'm brand new to the car audio world and am looking for a system that can pound as a daily driver. I've already decided to run 2 15" N2 BTL's but am unsure on what to power them and what alt/batts to back them up. I've read a lot of forums and the DC 3.5k amp looks good plus its 15% as a presale. I was thinking of having a 320a DC power alt with an XS D975 up front and a D3100 in back, all wired 1/0 with big three. Will my system run well? and if not, what can i do to make sure i supply enough power to amp and that the amp is a good fit? BTW, budget is in $2500-$3k range Any tips/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Well, I mostly hang out over at ROE, but it appears you guys have all the sponsors over here. So I'll give it a shot. I'm staying in Utah right now going to school, and If I'm not careful I'm going to spend all my tuition money on Car stereo equipment. -C

    I'm a new member of the site, but I've been trolling for quite a while. I have a system in the works consisting of two True bass solutions 8" subs (when they arrive) and a sundown SAE-1000D. I've got about 150-200 bucks for some good 6.5" comps so if you've got any suggestions, post them up!

  7. 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…

    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 everybody, Just making an introduction post here on the ssa forum. First a little background about myself, I am 23 and have been in the car audio world since I was 16. I am an F-16 electrical/environmental systems specialist for the air national guard and write electrical repair manuals for John Deere and hitachi excavators. I first found out about ssa woofers on the smd forum. After doing some research, I decided to purchase some of the zcon series woofers for my newest truck rebuild. While bumping around the ssa website I ran across a link to this forum, and well here I am.. I hope to learn and spread any knowledge I can on here and look forward to seeing wh…

    Hello all from Saint Louis. So a little bit about me. My father owned and operated a local car audio store in my area for over 15 years so I lived my teenage years working in car audio which was great now looking for some subs with a little education behind it. I am big on the Lotus and Miata forums I have an 06 Elise and a 99 V8 Twin Turbo Miata (Nuts I know). I just recently picked up a 2010 Nissan Cube as a daily. I am wanting to put a couple of 12's in the trunk as I like to listen to Drum and Bass and rock. I currently have picked up some Boston SE65 and SE60's I purchased these with the intent of getting a pair of 12" Boston G2's. As the place that I ordered f…

    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

    I am building a system and starting off slow. My first purchase as far as amps and subs will be a SAZ-3000 and a Dual 2ohm BTL18. It will be wired at 1ohm for the 3000 rms. I would like to expand on this later with another SAZ-3000 and BLT18 for a combined 6000 rms. I have never strapped 2 amps before and I'm trying to make sure I buy the correct sub to start off with. I understand the impedance for a single amp system but I'm confused as to how it works when you start strapping amps together. What would my impedance be with the two amps strapped and two Dual 2ohm subs? I'm looking for a final 2 ohms since this is what the strapped amps are rated at. This has probably be…

    hey new here, I just finished the install on my single cab truck. I'm running two 10" Fi Q's in a ported box tuned to 36hrz and a Hifonics BXI 2006D amp. My head unit is a Pioneer AVH D4000 DVD. I think it turned out alright. I'm looking at components right now probably Premier or Focal with Fosgate amp. I'll get some pics up for you guys shortly. Ryan
