Not sure if this has been brought up before... While frequenting the F/S section almost daily, I get confused at some things. 1. How come the idea to have it broken down into sub topics is not in place? Example: Amplifiers - threads for amps, amp accessories and wiring Subwoofers - subs, cones, motors, and enclosures Receivers/processors - double din, DVD, navigation, mp3, USB cd players, equilizers and crossovers Speakers - coaxials, component sets, mid bass, tweeters 2. Why isn't there a way the seller can mark the thread as closed or all goods closed? I can't tell you how many times I've gone into a thread thinking the items were still available only to read all the …

If you guys are having any trouble with the new software, or you feel there is a bug and you would like to point it out, please post it in here. Please enter the browser you are using as well I will do my best to fix things.

Mocking up a few designs in this thread, want to move ahead this week and get them on order.... These shirts will be very simple and some what generic by design.... 1.) 2.) 3.) 4.) Post up your thoughts!

It's official, Aaron flew up to NY for the staff meeting. We are cramming out some great ideas and getting work done at a rapid pace. Pics to follow shortly.

Random?

Happy Berfday old friend!

We had a slot open on the mod team! He is one of our most respected members and very knowledgeable. If any of you have any questions or thread trouble, hit him up. Thanks again Duran! (We didn't even tell him he's on the mod team yet lol, he'll love this.)

SSA Forum T-Shirt Design Contest Since this was discussed recently, we are going bring back the SSA forum shirt. A number of years back, we did a contest for the members to come up with the design. It was a pretty good success, and Mark and I thought it would be a good idea to bring back. This T-shirt is for the forum, and will support the costs to run/maintain the forum. What we are aiming for is an image design, not a written slogan. It can be basic or abstract, just a design that you feel goes well with the forum that people will like. SSA Supporters will be able to buy the shirts at 1/2 price. T-shirt Design Contest Goal: Members can submit 5 designs maximum T…

unsure of where to put this, i'll do it here... with wayne harris himself onthe termlab, mythbusters proceeded to bust the myth that spl will destroy a car immediately. by building a ~50" speaker, attaching it directly to the driveline of the MB diesel and revving the gas, they proceeded to do a 161+ @ 16 hz legal on the tl. in the process they popped the sunroof completely out of it's tracks. the slow motion camera was cool as you could see the sunroof move in and out with the aluminum coned sub. they called tghe myth busted, along with wayne, because as was easily pointed out, when the sunroof popped, all damage really ceased. the air pressure was allowed to escape. was…

Please bare with us for the next 24 hr period if you notice the site acting a little "strange". This could mean, files not loading etc... We have rerouted how our traffic comes into our domain name, IE, the site will load much faster I am told with our new method. In the next 24 hrs our DNS will be propagating to new servers, thats why I say, there might be strange file loading during that period. We expect the entire site to load at the very minimum, twice as fast after this period. Thanks again for your understanding!

Thanks for signing up!

I installed this dark skin as a temp. dark skin for all you who need it. I'll remove this and install a better one when it become available. This is literally the only dark skin made so far that is available for download, so this is all we get so far. More are coming soon. here's a screenshot.

We've installed a new skin, i'm still working on converting the legends (section buttons) and a few misc. images, but so far, i'm loving this new skin. It also has a hover feature that when you drag your mouse over board sections you'll see a hover image, as well, you can now click anywhere with in the entire section and it will take you to that section. For now, we are not changing the board default untill I get the skin set where we like it. But feel free to preview it and tell us what you think. This is also a medium - light skin. Will be easier to read and print. Also, hopefully more members will like the ease of it on their eyes. bottom left of board > ston…

Software is getting a major upgrade in the next few days, the stock invision skin will be the defualt for a little bit while I work on a new one once the upgrade is complete. Please bare with us...

We are proud to be able to help a friend, and just a cool individual in need. SSA has a long standing relationship with Shawn Fleming, and would very much love to help him in his quest to get a new prosthtic leg. Shawn has long standing ties with the car audio community and has brought many loud vechicles & products to our community. Which is why, with every purchase of a "Rewards" eligible product in the SSA store, we will dontate 5% of that purchase price to the "Shawn's New Leg Fund" and help our friend to walk soon again.

Yes that right, finally a skin you can load the forum ultra fast on your pda phone! Here's a few screen shots from my iPhone. Automatically senses what phone your on, and switches your skin if you're on the any of those popular phones in the title. Enjoy Palm-Pre users must select the skin manually.

As many of you know of the recent errors but I still get them sometimes, also some of the stickies are nonexistent. Anybody else get the errors or is it just me?

Just wanted to thank everyone for signing up and helping our "little" site grow and grow.

Just giving you a heads up guys, i'll be in the hospital for a few days, helping out my Girl while she delivers my Son! First child for me, so this aught to be interesting. Can't wait. Thanks for your understanding if I don't respond to your emails etc...
