    Found this place from the other forums I lurk at. Do alot of reading mostly, not a whole lot of posting yet. Getting back into the scene after a 6yr layout. Should be getting the 1st of 2 SAZ-1500D's that I have planned for a new system tomorrow in the mail. So later on I will probably post alot more.

    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.

    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!

    Hi all. I guess this is my official Newb....Noob....whatever post. I got here from the Sundown Audio site.

    My name is Brian, Im from Wisconsin. Ive browsed this site a bit here and there, and only registered for the chatroom, but now it seems like it died off since you had to become a member to use it. I only comment on things I know for sure, I hate to be wrong, but when I am wrong I man up and admit it Ive been messing with audio systems home/car since I was 12 years old. I learned everything I know from a retired competitior that had many national records. I like expensive gear, usally imported stuff that everyone on the block does not have. Then when people ask what I am running I just simply say JENSEN because after I took all the time to tell them what it is, they will…

    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…

    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
