Dear SSA. Why am I getting Donkey Punch Vapor spam from you!!? Super unethical to harvest the e-mail database to spam out slightly offensive advertising for the new company you are starting -Jamie M.

This is supposed to be some of the new '06 lineUtopia Audio Forum

I need to recone an icon. What glue do you recommend that will work for the spider,surround and dust cap. Something black. CA glue?

I know there are a ton of choices out there but wondering what everyone is using here. Right now RAAMat looks like the choice for me, followed by Fatmat or Edead. Feel free to post away.

Whats up SSA! In the near future I would like to open up some type of small car audio shop. Start off small and build it up, but what I was wondering is.. Is it illegal to resell brand new audio equipment without being authorized as a dealer? Lets say I buy alot of American Bass subs and resell them for a $30 profit per sub (in example), would it be illegal? Thanks for any input.

As the title says Where can I get remote wire? Is it possible to get it without a car kit? I need to connect my new Sundown amp but I dont have any remote wire lol

I am hoping to updrage my chit duralast to a optima yellow top. I was wondering if i can do this with a stock 70 amp alternator? I dont know much about electrical and need an opinion whether this is safe.

Has anyone had any experience doing any audio on a motorcycle? . Going to be doing an install on an 04 roadglide . Just seeing if anyone has any recommendations or anything since I have not messed with a motorcycle yet . . There is a stock head unit and 2 speakers . Customer wants to try to keep the head unit and replace the stock speakers and maybe add a couple more speakers and maybe amp them. . Hes not a big audio guy so im sure wont need crazy quality . Just want to be able to hear clear music when on the highway and shit

What amp would put out more watts.The saz 1000 or the audioque 1200 taking it that sundown puts out more than rated.Its on stock electrical

As the title read's need some Ideas on fixing things that are getting damaged but fixing them in way the the problem wont return. Part I am interested in finding a permanent repair for.

Ok this might sound retarded.. but seriously... i dont want to waste my time in a Car that isnt my friends car or so.. and yet get a low charge... i used to do installs for free.. but nowdays.. its somehow impossible.. any ways... i will be Installing a JVC HU , JVC CD changer , JVC 6x9's Rear, and a single 10" kenwood Sub..And a For Channel Amp.. in a VW Polo 2002 .. and he said he want to run it free air... am not sure thats possible.. when there is no trunk to seal it off...his excuse was that he doesnt want to loose any more of his tiny space left behind the rear seat.. am gonna convince him about a tiny Sealed box... any ways... Average... how much should i charge hi…

Alright, i have been looking around few days, and i get a lot of different answers about capacitor. Some people say that they are for ricers who like LEDs, others say that you need it to supply power. and third group says that it will mess your system up. So whats the deal do you need it or now and why ? Why do they make them at all then. I think that you don't really need one because amplifiers already have necessary capacitors.

Ok.. I have a FI BTL 18 and a Rockford Fosgate T30001bd amp. I have all 1/0awg wire big 3 and a kinetik 1400 in the back. So when i first hooked everything up it was SUPER loud.. but for some reason when i like park somewhere and shut it off then go to get in to show someone it is not even close to as loud as it was.. Does anyone have any ideas. My only idea is because i only have a kinetik 1400 in the back so its not enough power? And sometimes when i turn it up it will start pounding and the will start to cut out. I was wondering if anyone else would know what the problem would be.

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..

Hi guys, I've been a member here for quite a while and every time I needed help with anything audio you guys know exactly what's best and offer the best advice. With that being said, I'mtrying to figure out what's best to put in a 2011 Chevy Silverado LT Crew cab under the back seat. I've found pre made boxes online for 10s and 12s, but I can't figure out what sub to pick. Nothing crazy, I don't even plan to hit over 1000Watts with two 12s. I was looking for input on what you guys would suggest? Note: probably going to be powered with what's I'm my closet (Alpine m1000). Also, if you guys know of an enclosure you think would be best definitely post it. Thanks!

Hello I am again the forum and would like to know voltage Work sundown or evidence they have done with them As to who I worked with a call suono and is very similar but I want your opinions thanks

Well, today I built my box, still not finished though- have to make clamps for the plug and resin the inside, and a few other things...but here it is... 9.4 cubes tuned to 47 hz, plug for 33 hz http://www.nugs.auto-forums.com/newbox2.jpg http://www.nugs.auto-forums.com/newbox3.jpg http://www.nugs.auto-forums.com/newbox4.jpg BTW- A 18" SX will be going in, powered by 4 American Bass CX1200d amps, a pair strapped @ 1 ohm for each coil

I've been going back and forth on what to do with these midrange speakers I bought. I had planned to build a 3 way component set. I have a memphis m class 6.5 with focal 1" tweeter and a focal cross over I was going to use up front. But I'm thinking of mounting the closed back mid range on the door with a mounting ring. Running the comp set in factory locations with crossover off the front channel and midrange off the rear channel with a rca split from the front. It's fq response is 300hz-8khz I beleive without going out to look. Using the amps cross over to set it at 300hz, and running the comp set off the front channel crossed at 80, and lastly the sub (vfl 8) crossed a…

i have an 03 tahoe and am thinking about mounting my amps under the back seat. I'm interested to see how others have done it. Do you guys just screw right down to the floor to mount the board the amps sit on? Having trouble finding anything other than meades sons vehicle for reference.

ok so i bought some permatex rubberized under coating that im gonna lay some coats on the trunk and the rear deck lid and see if thats helps with the rattle in my trunk...i think it will....i dont know if alot of people have used this before but i heard a couple of people that used it and said it worked pretty good....only $13 for 3 16oz cans so pretty good deal if it works.

I'm looking for a box builder near Oklahoma City, or anywhere in this state! I've attempted to contact McGovney Designs several times, but haven't heard back from him. So, are there any Oklahomans on here that can point me in the right direction for a good builder. Thanks
