    Maybe I'm just getting old and bitter. Maybe I'm maturing. Or maybe it's just my depression talking. But I'm almost tired of car audio anymore. Everything is a hassle. Any setup I'd actually want to have in my car would require a major modifications and about two months of installation. Running wire is a pain in the ass. Sound deadening can kiss my ass. Cramming yourself into positions and spaces you never thought possible to install anything is getting old. And you do all this work just to shove some overpriced audio equipment into an acoustic hell hole that will sound worse than even a mediocre bookshelf setup. My god...what the hell have I been thinking the p…

    well i had ordered some items from someone over at CA.com Friday 9th. I received the image dynamic speakers thursday I believe without the sub. I couldn't imagine why I didn't get both of them but I just shrugged it off. Well.....I just got back from a trip and I told my parents about it and they said "Yeah, we have something to tell you." My dad hands me an envolpe that has nothing but a label and an aplogoy note from the postal service. Basically someone either A) stole my sub or B. lost the package which I have no idea how you lose something this big. so we are going to go talk to the people about this monday. I'm really bummed about it

    i was skimming through ICIX, even though i can't post, and saw your post about the SI Mag, did you get banned yet? LOL....thats funny they brought that thing off topic really fast. And someone needs to tell Haibane to not be lazy and call SI for pricing cause I think he saw the 519$ price and went cheap.

    ok ,well i have a guy who does his own beat and is working on becoming a producer and all. Right now I think he works in radio. But i think i may ask him to make me a test CD and tracks and wondering what you guys would like in a test CD. I know i would have tracks of just tones from 10hz-200hz and sweeps from 100-20khz if possible. But what else. And do you guys think 10$ per CD is a good price?

    Hey guys. well if you don't know, I'm trying to go active on this next seutp. I'm wondering a couple things though. 1) you think audio control EQTS(2 since they are mono) and a 4XS is a good combo? I'm choosing them because the EQTS have 31 band 1/3 octave EQ, and the 4xs will support all of my speakers properly. Plus they are pretty cheap, 250 (if you can find them) for the EQTS, and about 60-80 bucks for the 4xs. 2) I need a H/U that will support my 4 way setup, for time alignment. what are some good H/U's that do this? I believe some of the new alpines have 6 channel time alignment capabilites? I'm not really diggin the glide touch though. your thoughts pl…

    Just got my order in and it was a pain to carry it all. 9 box each weighing about 45lbs a piece. Never knew 6.5in speakers could weigh so much but i guess when they come in boxes of 6 it gets heavy. I need to take a pic. But if anyone is interested in CDT products i am now taking orders via email. Store shopping cart isn't up yet but the site is a go Click Here for AlterAudioUSA If you order via email please noted your SSA name so i can give you a discount and also watch for when i post the SSA discount code when i get my shopping cart up.

    Ok, well i am getting my inventory of CDT products on Sept.8th and am looking for a car or two to possibly sponsor/rep. The car(s) would be shown on the webpage of the install and the car itself. Don't need anything too flashy but something more than just stock locations and a MDF(no carpet) box. This isn't a free ride on speakers but i bet you won't complain either on how much you pay. Also for whoever gets picked,if any, will also recieve rep points for those people who are referred to our site. Email me at: [email protected] Please title to email "Rep" or "Sponsor" o yeah, since i don't run a shop installation is up to you but you'll have access to a full li…

    well, its all coming together now. I should be receiving my CDT stuff on Sept 8th and hopefully the site and all will be up and running by then. So if you're interested in some good speakers contact me. I'll get some special for SSA members who are regulars here,...100posts or more. And does anyone know any good links for things like imaging, gains, and frequency charts? I would like to have my website be a place of alot of knowledge so people can go there and get their questions answered.

    Hey... I might have found an 8W7 that could fit in my budget...however, I've got a question. Do JL's recommended enclosures work well at home? I've heard they're optimized for in-vehicle cabin gain. If so, does anyone have recommendations for enclosures (sealed or bass reflex) for this little beast? Thanks in advance.
