I have a 2004 BMW 330Ci. Here is a list of what I have: Eclipse AVN-5435 Audiocontrol Overdrive, ESP-2, DQX, and DDC US Amps USA 200x - tweeters (50x2) US Amps USA-400x - midrange (100x2) US Amps USA-2000x - sub (2000x1) OZ Audio CS-180 (old school superman logo) 1 Fi Audio Q12 D2 in a 2.0 cu ft box tuned to 33 hz with 24 in of port area (small, I know). I just purchased an 06 RE XXX 12 to replace my 05 XXX 12. Then I heard about Fi so I bought a Q12 just to try it out. The customer service was excellent and the sub was rushed to me in time for Heatwave in San Antonio (USACI). I got the box which was similar to RE's packaging. The box was ravaged but the sub was okay. No…

I got into car audio about 12 years ago. I was a bass player and one day figured out that I could play CD's thru my bass amp. It was all downhill from there. I started listening to bass and rap CD's in the house. Then I realized I was missing something in the car. My first subs were Lanzar 12" OA's (designed for infinite baffle) in a large sealed box in the back of my 4Runner. Since then I have had Orion XTR's, Image Dynamics ID's, and some loud crappy Audiobahn's. I have always liked the sound of sealed systems, and the simplicity of build. I have heard MANY ported systems, and while they were always LOUD AS HELL, there were things I didn't like about them. Port…

Free Air Resonance (Fs): 35.2 Hz Electrical

The SSD is a great sub... fing34.gif The SSD is currently being powered by a SAZ-1500d on my stock electrical along with my beautiful Pioneer 860mp as the captain of the ship Anywho When I first purcahsed the sub I only had a 4.5 cu ft ported enclosure for its home and well lets say it was a great experience to say the least. 4.5 cu ft review: 4.5 cu ft enclosure didn't really provide the SQ that I was looking for but it was loud and allowed it to produce a substantial amount of spl. Very noticable to the point it would tickle my ears and this is one sub mind you had friends that rode in my car think I had 2 subs. I enjoyed the 4.5 cu ft enclosure but due to me having cop…

I'm not gonna post a lot of info in here right now because i dont have my specs in front of me but between now and the next few days, i'll be testing their power capability to a degree as they are wired at 0.4ohms right now... 4 of them are and will be kept that way for a week or two. As of right now, leaving them wired like that and keeping the gain off(that's if you have an aftermarket gain controller), the amp's exhibit no heat buildup when not in use. It was left running like this for 45 minutes. Some people may find this odd that i would test an amp with no output power but to the contrary... some amps wired this low are real touchy about certain wired loads and will…

I recently had 2 Mayhem !5's put in a cut through in a my 2004 Dodge Ram. The box is tuned to 32htz. I power it off a Clif Designs 4800.1 and it hits harder and lower than anything I have ever heard (in a truck). Ascendant Audio is in my opinion the best, if the ultimate a street basser can get. Most people cant handle the sound in my truck. The shop that did the install told me that they have received several calls from "people" advising them to turn it down when in town. I have not been able to get them to distort under any bass and I pound them at all times. Its nothing but thumbs up for me, I'm sold.

I have had this unit for about 8 months now and am very dissapointed in it first the cons, cause right now i cant think of any pros Cons: iPod Control: -no quick scroll or alphabetical search to find artists (you have to scroll down each page, 4 artists at a time) -every time you go forward into an artist, then go back, it takes you all the way to the top of the list -when you go into an artist, it skips the albums and goes straight to all songs listed for the artist -often times it does not show the correct artist or album -i have yet to get the unit to play video from my iPod, when i hit the button, it simply ejects my iPod from the unit and says "waiting for iPod" DVD:…

So anyways I traded my A3000gti amplifier for two Soundstream REF 2.640 two channel amps and a pair of the REF 1.500 mono blocks.... all I can say is I'm really impressed, the REF 2.640's are nothing short of amazing on the top end and the REF 1.500 are every bit as impressive on the bass love the damping on these things , everything sounds tight and un colored symbols , guitars , drums as well as lots of hidded instruments and vocals uncovered best part is there is absolutely NO noise floor....dead quiet they run on the warm side and they can really eat the juice ...I see a second alternator being installed soon I remember what my old school Reference Amps sounded…

To start off I have been a BIG! fan of car audio since I have been like 12 ...I can remember rolling around with my cousin and he had 2 Polk EX 12's in his camaro, His sh!t use to WANG HARD!!! Ever since the day he first got them I could not get stop thinking "When I can drive I want something like that!!" I don

I am very pleased by the sound of the gcon. It is being powered by the rear channels of a US Acoustics Barbara Ann amp. It makes bass come alive while producing fantastic sound. Oh it can get window shaking loud. A dcon on steroids !

Check out my review of Second Skin's Damplfier Pro. http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...showtopic=16639

First off let me say i'll be totally honest and say i had very low hopes for this sub, as the previous owner had already told me what he thought about it. I bought this sub for the price of $40 dollars form him without a dustcap, contacted Scott and he was kind enough to send me a dustcap for the sub. I tested this sub in a in a sealed off trunk of a 1978 Chevrolet Camaro The test Equipment was: Alpine 9835 kenwood entry level 6.4 coaxials Kenwood entry level 6x9s All speakers inside cabin running from deck power Sub amp MTX 500d ( i know its over the RMS of the sub,buti honestly wanted to see if it would take over the RMS and the only other amps i have are 2k RMS and ab…

Recently I purchased two 12 inch ssds from Fi car audio. I was looking for something loud yet retain good sound quality. I first built a box which is 4.5 cubes tuned to 33 hz. I have them hooked up at 1 ohm to a US amps Md2. At first i thought the low end was lacking so i contacted scott and told him and he told me about the copper coils vs the aluminum coils. Well the copper coils made that much of a differnce because i love these subs. They play the lows nicely and get loud. The sound quality could be better. But being that im a bass head it doesnt bother me at all. Compared to a sx which everyone wants to compare them to. I would say they are alike except more musical …
