    Hey guys. I just found this forum last night as my girl was bugging me to come to bed so now shes gone and I can browse uninterrupted haha. I'm putting together a whole new system for the car after blowing my 2nd RE SE12( don't know how/why that happened BTW if anyone has answers I'd greatly appreciate) and this site looks to be a wealth of awesome info and advice. Current status on the car is stock HU, JL 500/1 amp, and a cheapie pioneer sub i got just to have SOME bass while i purchase everything. I've already got a kenwood dnx5140 waiting to be installed and next are infinty components for front and rear, and most likely 2 Sundown SA-12's powered by either a Planet Aud…

    Giving a shoutout from Mission, BC in Canader. I'm here to learn all I can about car audio, as well as home audio, and hopefully, down the road, be able to pass that knowledge on to other people.

    Hey guys, just here paying my dues in the newbie forum. I'd describe myself as more of a music lover than a basshead. Give me good clean sound quality any day of the week. That being said, I'm not quite an audiophile either, mostly due to budget and a light wallet. My system is, by today's standards, "old school". 1996 Honda Accord Sedan Alpine CDA-9830 AudioControl Three.1 MTX Thunder 4320 Infinity Kappa 5.25" Comp Set in Q-Forms "pods" Infinity Kappa 6.5" Mids in the front doors MTX Thunder 2300 3 JL Audio 10w6's Most of the gear was purchased in the mid to late 90's but still sounds fantastic. What brought me here? I went to college with Nick from Stereo Integrity.…

    My Skar vvx 10 came in Thursday. I installed it in a 1.25 ported box tuned to 30 hz. It sounds great. Much better than the e5.19 I had. It couldn't handle the JL Audio 500 I use. The Skar lets me bring the amp up to the point that it puts out its max power before clipping. I was running it a quarter turn less to keep from blowing the e5.10 I'll break it in & see how it sounds.

    just sayin whats up to everyone. im starting my first actual build, nothing special but its gonna be better than last time. a couple years ago i had an eclipse amp ( i think like 300 watts?) and two 12" kicker free airs, ported in a 03 tiburon. it got loud but never hit low... i could get like the first 2 notes in "put on" by jeezy and kanye but nothin after that lol, im sure the amp wasnt fit for it at all but it totaled 50 for the amp and kickers in the prefab box and like 60 for the wiring. it got the job done for the price i guess, it was ok. but i sold the tib, have the kickers in my garage but i just dont even want them. havent got around to attempting a sale to any…

    HI everyone I'm Kyle. I'm new to the forum and right now I'm currnetly running 1 spl15 with 1ohmdvc on a Alphasonic PMA600HCA. I haven't had time to get it on the meter yet but I might swap to new subs and go back to 12s to better fit my listening style. What would be better the RE audio subs or the FI audio? I want something that can take all the power my amp can give them. It pushes 1800rms at 1ohm.

  20. Ive been out of car audio for awhile, probably the last 5 years. My Adire Audio Brahmas surrounding ripped away from the cone last night. The last sub I remember hearing about being compared with the Brahma was the RE XXX so I was interested in finding one of those to try out. Come to find out they arent around the $400 range anymore, but a whopping $1,200!! So I said bump that. But a guy on a different site told me about the founder of RE starting up a new company named Fi Car Audio. So here I am, trying to figure out which of these products may be equal to or better than the Brahma and XXX. Oh and trying to find a place to recone my Brahma as well. Any suggestions on …

    Hi from West Palm Beach, FL. I'm new to SSA forums. I was this site at Steve Meade Designs while I was reading up on Fi Car Audio in his forums. I haven't had a system in a while and I'm starting to get that itch to build one so I've been doing a lot of reading. My how things have changed. I have already asked some questions and I have received some very good feedback from the users here. I have lots to learn and this seems like the perfect place for me to do that. I have a 97 Maxima SE that I'm sizing up for a SQ install. We'll see how it goes !!! Thanks for the help already !!!
