This is my first post on the board. Just saying hello. I am the proud new owner of a ZCON 15 as well as several other products purchased through SSA. I am 49 years old and have been fooling with this stuff for over 30 years as an amateur. I recently built my best system yet. I'm not totally a noob, but I'm no expert either. I look forward to discussing and learning about car audio.

yeah i bought a used amp its the rockford T1001bd and it seems to have a short.. :''( any ideas were i can ship amp to, i stay in Arkansas oh and i gt the amp for 125$ is tht a good deal?

intro must say there is a host of info on here that I already know but a lot more that I don't know. looking forward to furthering my education. with that said, im looking to enjoying being on here. got introduced to the forum by big john.

New here i like checking out new forums i'm in and out of term pro alot and have competed in db drag for some years now. I own a audio shop and like I said I like to keep my ear to the ground on new products and techniques. I currently am waiting to get my new ride out but in the past I've ran DD,Image, crossfire, re, premier,us,lanzar(one of my favorites), and alot of other crap.. last year I ran a 96 cavi with 3 lighting strike 15" in a wall with 19 cubes and bout 300 sq of port it ran 149.9 daily lol i love my sleepers. hope to see what this forums like

Just got 2 team 18's(dual 2's) and plan on putting either 2 bc5500's or one 'merica 12k on them for power. I want to do a flat wall but need a little help on what size box to use, i.e. cubic feet per sub, sq in per cube for port, aero or slot, and tuning frequency. Thanks in advance for the help! Oh and space is no issue as it's going in an Astro.

Hello! I'm coming from Slovenia/EU. I found your forum to be very educational and informative! I compete in dB Drag Racing in Europe and this year we allready set two World Records in Street B. My top result is 156.7dB. This result was set with Alpine HU 9835, 4 x GZ GZPA 5000 D amps and two TREO SSX 12.22 subs in ported enclosure. My sistem for everiday listening pleasure consist from a little older HU Alpine 7939R + processor ERA-G 320, AC 6XS xover, Five Lanzar OPTI amps (200.2 2X, 500.2 2X, 100.2 1X), speakers are from JBL (W1500 GTI, 508 GTI) and KEF (B200G) C-ya!

I am here to hopefully hone some of my abilities and give a little info also. I have a 93' Chevy 1500, 4 Diamond Audio M6 MKII 12's, 2 Diamond Audio CM3 8's, Pair of Diamond Audio Hex 5 1/4's, 2 Diamond Audio D5 1200.1, and 2 Diamond Audio D5 600.2, I have a Rockford RFX 9420 source unit, and a Alumapro 15 farad limited edition CAP.

Hey everyone I'm from caraudio.com. Been there for about 5 months or so and I got invited to join from Aaron. See ya around. -Alex

Hey ya'll, finally done enough lurking to (hopefully) not embarrass myself. I'm 27, from Yazoo MS, and own a Monument shop. That's right, tombstones. I've been into car audio since i was 10, and have been building race trucks/mud trucks since i was 14. I have the same problem that I imagine many people have when they first find SSA. I have had probably 25 complete systems, all done by me, but they were are common name brand/low end stuff. Lots of Pioneer, low level Rockford, etc. Even some Audiobahn. Actually, a lot of Audiobahn (flames on the back plate look awesome when you're 17). I'm a victim of the Crutchfield catalog. Remember when they'd send you that thing for lif…

Anywho, some of you might recognize me from other forums, I'm kinda all over but I have heard good things about this place so I thought I would check it out. Looks like a good place to learn more info!

Hello everyone, Just wanted to introduce myself. I live in Alaska, been here for a year. I drive a nissan titan and am currently running a sundown e10v2 off a PPI BK1800.1D(I know overkill. lol) and sky high audio wiring. I plan to upgrade to an SSA Xcon 12" here very soon. Can't wait to learn from the SSA forum members.

Hey everyone... been into car stereos since i was about 17, am now 22, be 23 in april. worked at the circuit city roadshop when i was 18, learned how to do the basic installs and alarms. never got into custom stuff, but have done fairly large system installs in my day. I drive a 1996 Toyota Tacoma 2wd regular cab automatic, I have done everything myself, notched the frame, raised the gas tank, lowered, welded the roll pan, tailgate handle, antenna, hood squirters, put a 2004 front clip on(core support, everything), painted the truck myself also, it was my first time doing all of this. Ive had a handful of stereos in it back when i was younger, bought the truck with 2 mtx…

Hi guys please can you assist I have a Isuzu super cab with one 12 inch dvc sub. My bass sounds better with the doors open. What could cause this? How can I fix this. I have tried a slot port box and a ported box. Same result . What next ?

hey all. im new to the forum, but not to car audio. currently running (2) 10" SE's off a RE12.1 in a 92 accord, everything firing forward and sealed off from the trunk. they sound sweet as hell. might not post much, but im sure i will be hanging around.

My name on other forums is Tenacious and I'm a noob

'Sup folks! BiggJern's the name! well, not much to say except I'm from RoE (back when it was alive ) and I'm slowly coming back. If you recognize me then hey there! Ok, what else? Oh, I have a new ride-- a 2014 Nissan Altima to be exact-- and I'm kinda starting fresh with the audio as my old ride gave out on me. So we'll see how this goes, lol

Hi all sound guru's! I'm Francesco from Italy

Hello everyone, I’m Eddie and it’s refreshing to find a helpful and informative car audio forum like yours. I started out in car audio back in 1989 with a pair of 12” MTX Terminators powered by a Fosgate Punch amp with a Clarion head unit and a Clarion EQ. I’ve owned many systems over the years and am now just getting back into car audio. I’m looking forward to learning more about the current brands and technology that’s come out the last few years while getting to know everyone here.

Just checking in. Been reading through this forum for the past few weeks, decided to join. Definitely don't know a lot, and probably won't ask a lot. Figured I'd join though, definitely worth the time.

Hi; I got here via my build thread on "The IB cult site", Mike R DIY IB subwoofer project. As newbie here this is my 1st post. To make a long story sorta short, I'm finishing my basement and doing a Home Theatre room, and I'm going with Infinite Baffle subwoofer 4 x 15" (or 18") line array. Here is a pict of that image (details in link above): I cut the concrete window this past weekend and now I need to fill that hole with a IB line array subwoofer! 16" x 66" IB sub "window" from HT side 16" x 66" IB sub "window" from utility room side: Now, I'm at the detail design stage and soon part(s) buying stage. I'll be back here as I do some research into my IB subwoofer opti…
