Lol so i found some old subs in my uncles garage and i told him i would take them off his hands they are Rockford Fosgate Punch HE 15". Need a recone but i want to give them to my little brother for a birthday present.

Hey everyone! it has been a super long time! sorry I haven't been on here lately, work has been keeping me very very busy plus my new job doesn't allow for car audio as I am a travelling service technician. But I will be quitting my job and moving to the states, so this means I now have room for Car audio again in my life/trunk! I am looking to install a RF 3sixty.3 in my 2010 Ford escape. I am looking to keep my OME head unit. Here is how I want to wire everything Factory Head unit speaker outputs To AOEM-FRD24 module To RF360.3 via RCA To Amp via RCA To OME speakers connections behind the OME head unit using wires. I want cut the female connector off, from the m…

Not going to let the cat out of the bag yet but.....why would I need springs that can handle 780lbs each in the back of my Taurus???? Hmmmmm I wonder???? pic 1 pic 2

First off I have been wanting to try out new subs so a couple months ago I started a thread asking which subs you guys would recommend for my application and two 12" Icons seemed to be the most strongly suggested. Right now I'm running a RD Alpha 12" (2000 rms) sub on a Cadence ZRS-8 amp (1500rms @ 1 ohm) in a 2011 Mazda 3 sedan in a box tuned @ 33hz. The sub does get decently loud on bass heavy songs but if it's heavy metal or pretty fast beats, it doesn't hit as hard, but still has a little bump to it. My question is, if I order two 12" Icons, and if I put one of the subs in my current box while I work on building the box to hold 2 subs, will I get the same output or is…

yep, yep!! (didn't know where to really post this..hehehahahhehaa) anyway... 1 Soundsplinter Rl-p12 dual2 1 Hifonics Nemesis 750d are on their way to my front door!! going to try to beat the living hell outa the wifey's car..yep,yep but what am igoing to do in my truck...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

what do you think about memphis 6x8 speakers? what do you think about jvc head units?

Ok i got 3 subs sitting in my man cave 15s im in the process of building my enclosure now but im trying to decide how to power them they are dual 4 ohm subs should i get a big amp thats half ohm stable and wire them to .66 ohms or strap 2 smaller amps i need a total of 3000rms any suggestiins will be great

My wiring kit manuel says make sure fuse is not in before connection to battery So i hooked the battery up and put the fuse on and the fucker sparked and almost shocked the crap outa me Now i assume im supposed to unhook the - terminal first then install it?

To start off everything that I'm getting together will be going in this.... So here is the latest shipment to arrive today.. What are they??.. well considering the price I paid I can't complain....$115 shipped ea. The obvious back shot.... My wife bought the subs, and these also for me for my Christmas gift, 2 sets of PG Rsd 6.5's Gotta love her. What amps am I gonna be installing well here is 2 of them. 1 RF PowerT3002 for the PG components and 1 Sundown SAZ-1500D. Soon to be a 2nd SAZ-1500D after I get it from Jacob very soon. 1 1500D per pair should be suffecient. And then how about a group picture Now next on the list is electrical upgrades so gotta get s…

Trying to figure out what to cover the amp rack and box with. I've normally just done carpet that was the closet match for the area the install is in. Trying to decide if I want t do something else now. I did a couple installs in the past where I used formica on the amp rack and trim pieces with carpet and I liked the look. Used to be able to pick up smaller sized pieces at Home Depot, but seems only full sheet now. Can't do vinyl, tried in the past and it just doesn't work well for me. Since all my trim will be black, I was thinking maybe white formica on the amp rack and maybe do the same on the top of the box, then make a carpeted trim pice that is cut bigger t…

I'm looking for a online website to purchase a deck along with who knows what in the future. Tryin to get an alpine deck for a friend who's cargot broken into recently. I have dealt with sonicelectronix before. Prices weren't bad. Thing is there backordered on most of the good alpinedecks. If you guys have any sites that have good prices, good selection and good service let me know. Would really appreciate it

so heres how it all got started. i had ordered some 6x9 speakers for a build of mine that didnt fit. i called and they said that they would send me an email with instructions on how to return them, they didnt. i sent them back with the order number on the bpox. emailed them back on the day that they were supposed to be delivered (Apr 1st) = no reply, no one would answer the phone and i had to send them a fax to get a rise from them, it worked! their excuse was they hadnt checked it in yet. i emailed them earlier like monday or tuesday this week. theyve had the item for 7days this past wednesday the 8th. i just emailed them tonight. heres what i wrote. the loving caring ca…

Found a tiny little website for anyone up here in Ontario, Canada. It seems really helpful, almost every local competition is posted up and will be really helpful for people starting to get into the competition scene. Check it out! The forum itself is still very small but very useful aswell! http://www.ontariobasssociety.com

Hey guys, Im new to SSA and car audio in general. I have been doing a little bit of research but would like to have other opinions. My question is in your opinion what is the best deck, speaker, and amp set up for around 500. Sorry if i am a noob but i had to ask. I am getting really tired of the speakers i have now in my Jeep Liberty, they absolutely suck and i have to iPod hook-up so it is time to get some new equipment. I may add a sub later when i have more cash. Thanks in advance guys!

Hey everyone I have 2004 Ford F-150 STX regular cab and I am downgrading from my 2 12'' Memphis C3's to more of a sound quality setup. I am thinking of going with one Sundown SA-8. I really dont know much about these woofers but I have heard great things. What kind of box would be best for a SQ setup with that sub? Here are a few pics of my old set up in my truck so you know what I have to work with. My truck

Hello all, new here. Wanting to get some opinions on my upcoming box build. Never did an extended cab before. Ok so the sub is a 12" Fi BL on a rockford t1500 bdcp. Now the box I have figured is 3.9 cuft gross and 2.5 after all displacement(I plan on double baffling). Port will be a t-line style. My question is Port up? Or Port Forward? Box dimensions are 39" x 15" x 15" so port will be the same either way at 3" x 13.5". Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hey guys, After having a 2002 Blazer with a pair of 12" Type-R's in a not great box (it would still knock the breath out of you at the right frequency), the truck was sold and I am looking to get back into the hobby. Probably going to get a 2003 Blazer, my questions are on gear and I'm looking for your personal opinions. I want mostly SQ with some thump (the great paradox). Here's what I'm thinking: Head Unit: McIntosh MX406 http://www.mcintoshlabs.com/us/Products/pages/ProductDetails.aspx?CatId=CarAudioSource&ProductId=MX406 Subwoofer's: (2) RE SX 12 http://www.audiosavings.com/products/12-Inch-Car-Subwoofer/NEW-RE-AUDIO-SX12D2-SX-12-2000w-CAR-SUBWOOFER-SX12-D2/SX12D…

I built the box that my current sub is in now, which it looks decent and sounds good. I have a 12" SSA Icon in it, I believe its a 2.3 cu. @ 33hz. For me to build the enclosure it costed me around $90 with all the materials. I have an 12" RD Alpha V.2 and an extra SSA Icon just sitting in my basement. Which is why I decided to build or have a box build for two 12" Icons and then put my RD Alpha in the box that I currently have. Here is my question. I found an ad to a guy who builds enclosures that is an hour away (one way). He posted this link http://www.ksl.com/?...20&lpid== It shows some of his designs and from his designs it leads me to believe that he knows what h…

I've got a leftover system that was in my truck, that I'm going to be putting into my car. I'm not sure what the general opinion on my equipment is, though....I've got a Phoenix Gold Octane R DVC 12" sub, in a ported box right now (tuned to 37hz), and a Audio Systems Twister F4>380 4-channel amp. (http://www.audiosystem-america.com/f4380.html) What are your guys' opinion on this? I'm not sure of the RMS of the sub, so would it be safe to bridge 2 channels for each coil, or should I just run it as a 4-channel amp? If I do that, then I can also use it to power a set of door speakers.

the following parts are what i have been looking at using in my system, does anyone have any thoughts (good or bad) on the choices here. I have a few amps lying around that all have pass through (eclipse, audiobahn, alpine) so one of them will be used in this configuration for the remaining speakers. 2 JL ZR800-CW 8" midbass driver to be built in a glass enclosure in my lower doors. 2 Hertz ML700 2.75" midranges to be glassed in my extreme upper door and angled at the drivers position. possibly 2 focal or hertz tweets, i have 2 alpine R tweets now that i think work very well so ill start with them and if they work well in this setup then great but if not ill swap to a…

Hey everyone I am wanting to build a system for my car. Im not sure what to run yet. I have a 2002 monte carlo, and I was looking at maybe 2 15" FI BTL's. I also seen the SSA XCON 15's as well. This car is a daily driver and I want something that I can listen to daily, but I also want it to be really loud and haev good sound quality. Help is very much appreciated..
