well im runnin two 15 inch DP's off of an IA40.1,, have a slot ported box.. i got on the term lab today and hit a 147 with no tuning on anything.. after i get my tuning right and everything setup the way i want it.. im hopin to gain 2 or 3 DB's , so hope fully i can get it up to around 149 DB's.. just got to say thanks to scottie johnson for hookin me up with the subs and amp.. great combo, very pleased with it,, next season ill be adding two more 15 inch DP's and another IA40.1..

so i have decided to go with a setup that would have a set of Rainbow 3-way components up front, which i believe would eliminate my need for rear speakers. so the question at hand is, when i remove the rear speakers would i be better off leaving the speaker holes open or closing them up? the car is a 99 Altima, the rear speakers are 6.5" and the setup in the trunk is a SSA XCON 18 in a 5.4 cu ft sealed enclosure.

ok so my first issue is that i have found a usa company that builts box, for these trucks behind the seat, im going with 8s on this build.... so the options are 3 8s sealed or 2 8s ported im leaning to sealed as he listens to country ,. the issue i am having is finding out how much space is left between the back of the seat and the box.. so i can make sure the subs wont hit... im looking at the sundown SD 8s or the sundown E8v-2 if there is not much space left./ has anyone done an install on a crewcab 2008-2013?

I am wanting to redo my 97 malibu with a wall off......Any ideas of what subs how many? I am in love with 18's and kinda am thinking of going that route. my opinion is 2 18's just so I am not having them fight for air in the cab..... I will be using STETSOM for power REGARDLESS and XS power for my BATTS! so let the ideas roll and dont be ashamed!!!!!!!!!

So im trying to do my first recone and the tinsel leads won't fit through the small hole in the terminal, am i suppose to fabricate it somehow? also the tinsel leads on my other zcon 18 looks more round and in one peice and the recone looks flat and folded. I don't want to mess anything up zcon 18 tinsel leads ( looks round and in one piece) old sub zcon recone for broken sub flat looking tinsel leads. Terminal

so i accidently deleted the files i had concerning my box design and since i cant find the guy who did it the first time i need you guys' help. this box is for two hdc3 15's and its going in a 99 altima. dimensions are as follows: the only other things i remember about the design was he said it was going to have external aero ports. i hope there is a way to build this without having to use that method but if not oh well. and he said it would sound best subs up and ports back. i also have to md2ds that i was hoping to mount on the sides of the box. so can yall help me.....?

OK, well some people have asked me about Tang Band 6.5 subwoofers, model # W6-1139SG. These are very potent little 6.5s and easily comparable to the JL 6W0. I actually thought in the install it was in was better than the JL 6W0 i owned. So how many would be interested in a group buy? Minimum TOTAL order of drivers would be 10 drivers, but the even cheaper price woul dbe for a total of 100 drivers, the exact price(s) has not been determined as i need to figure in shipping and paypal fees. These can be used in either HT or car applications with good results. Also i believe there is a 5.25 version coming out 1/6/06. This could also be added into the group buy.

ok i think i want to buy either an RE RE 10 or 12 inch sub, or maybe an adire shiva or a soundsplinter. i want it in my room, i have 2 stereo recievers, but theyre those old ones, and i was wondering if they sell and where i can get a home audio amp without it being built in with the stero reciever. i want like 200-300 w rms. thanks.

I am currently looking at 2 15' SXs $580 both (with shipping) or 2 18 SXs $640 both (with shipping) or a 18' MT $525(with shipping) from the RE side... www.reaudio.com or A 15' Mag www.stereointegrity.com $549 MSRP or A 15' DP www.incriminatoraudio.com $599 or A RL-s 15' S4 www.soundsplinter.com $579 Also I am not sure about these 2 because they are like +$1000... for 1 and I don't know... A DD 9917 from www.ddaudio.com or A APXX18D or APXX15D www.atomicspeakers.com Also looking at AMP(s) I was thinking of the DD Z1 (but i don't know where to find info of it on the web) or the VFL 200.1 (also don't know where to find info of this on the web...) or maybe 2 Orion 2500Ds Thi…

I have receantly been forced out of my 97 cobra, thanks to a drunk driver. I have found a box with .42 qubic feet per side, for 2 10's. what kind of recommendations can I get. I was running 2 12's hollywood speakers off of a bazooka amp I think it was 700w. but not turned up maybe 1/2 way. I have been told that your companies speakers are worth the money. I have yet to see another hollywood, hopefully yours will last as long. So looking at the above mentioned air space, which 10's, and what amp? price ranges might help. Thanks, chris

I was just asking because on the ups tracking label it says 40 pounds(not shipped yet Just label). Or do i go off the site were it says 55.

Got my amp and sub hooked up, started bumping some music then it cut off. I went back to check out what was going and and saw that a razor blade had fallen across the speaker terminals on the amp. Now the amp wont power up.

Anyone in the York Pa area or close running 10k plus and available for a demo? Thanks

Hey guys im in the process of taking out my system in my truck. Well i took out the three batteries and all my amps and subs i have in my cab and when i went to start the car it wouldnt turn on. My volt meter was reading like 8. something volts and to turn it on i have to have it jumped. Any suggestions on what it could be. My fuses by the battery under the hood looked fine. The alt is fine as well it idles at like 13.7 volts. thanks.

Well it was extremely exciting and a great experience...... my first time ever on the meter. I was in SB4... First run got 141.~ because of a bad song choice Second run had a 145.~ after 16 seconds, then there was about a 3 second pause in the bass... bringing me to a final score of 142.~ My mind was on everything except for my camera.... So sorry, no pictures. If you become a member and run can't you find your score online somehow? Thanks everyone at SSA, ya'll are the reason I have such a bangin setup I would have went for another try with Throw It Up by Lil Jon (which has NO pauses), but I had already established a benchmark for me to beat next year. I also sa…

I recently ordered 2 Tantric HDD 18s. I got the carbon fiber dust caps on them, mainly for cosmetic appearance. But are there any real performence benefits over normal caps?

i thought about ripping the back seats out of my car one of my questions is how is the SQ on a wall build? AND about those NIGHTSHADES are they a SQ sub or built for SPL i see that they look a lil like the btl's how do they compare..i searched but i didnt find that much info on them

i just got a expo for a cheap price and was wanting to make it loud. question is , i was told by some locals that it is hard to get them loud without a wall , is this true or?

So i have tried searching and couldn't find anything specific about what kind of bolts to use for bolt terminals and how to install them. I usually run the wire right threw my box but i want to try some terminals this time. I tried looking for copper because copper is a good conductor but i could not find any. So what is the next best kind of bolts to use? How do you screw them on? I was thinking about putting some t nuts in the box on the inside and screwing my ring terminals into those then attaching the wire on the outside with bolts. any input would be greatful.

Hello Everyone, Just wanted to know if anyone knew how to bypass this HU with a relay or automatically somehow? Or is the only way is to have a toggle switch? Thanks in advance

Which type is the best to use when soldering ring terminals and etc.

Well got a customer wanting to do 2 10s in a center console of an suv mainly for midbass . What iv done already in it is 2 sp4 18s on an ampere 9k . . 4 crescendo 6.5 neos (one in each door) and a supertweeter in each door . 2 ppi 900.4s (one for mids and one for tweets) dual alts. Northstar batts and lots of 1/0 . . . Just looking at any recommendations on what 10s and where to go about tuning the enclosure. . Iv just never had to build something just for midbass befor . . He was wanting to get the crescendo neo 10 because he has the 6.5s in the doors but not sure about that
