Product Reviews

well my 3 moth review of the prototype "1200 watt" amp is in Jacob's hands-----just letting you guys know

Hi guys/gals!! I know I'm still new here, but I have been around the forums for a while. Hopefully some of you recognize me. Anywho, I won these comps over on DIY and so far I am happy enough with them that I wanted to share! I'll just save myself some typing and copy and paste what I have written over on DIY for now, but I will update this thread as needed. Thanks for putting up with this guys and I hopw some of you will give them a shot. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Well, this is going to be my on going thread for my Ultra Subs SS-6 comps review. These are the comps that I won in the vendor give away. The Ultra website for these comps can be found her…

Sorry Aaron for the overdue review on the US Acoustics Mike amplifier as it's been sitting for a year and a half in my closet. Thanks to SSA and Aaron for this great product wonderful customer service as usual, I didn't have any problems with my order and the shipping was fast. Product was packaged as it should be double-boxed without any signs of damage. Now onto pictures of this little guy, it has more weight to it then you would expect. Pictures first then review will follow.

Well today I actually was able to find time to have a very indepth listening session with my new setup. It consists of a Kenwood KDC-X859 head unit, eD 6500 components powerd by a Phoenix Gold ti600.2. My Substage is a eD 16Ov.2(dual2)in 2.3 cubic feet @ 30HZ powerd by the newly aquired USAmps MD.1D at 1 ohm. And I had also done the "Big 3" in 4 gauge as well. A big thanks to Mark of Mach 5 for his help on the new box. Great job! Now I have had the eD sub for almost a year. But it was removed for the winter at which time I used a Pair of Mach 5 Maw 15's. It was originally powerd by the PG amp, which was feeding it roughly 600rms. And for the longrst time i was very happy…

Hello all! I have been working on a video playlist on youtube where I discuss different car audio tools. Rather than make a different thread for each tool I will be using this thread to constantly update my tool reviews. Week 1: Bojo Installer Trim Removal Tools Week 2: Self Adjusting Wire Strippers

As you guys well know car audio is an ever changing hobby. You may decide to add an amp to your install, or a secondary battery, and there is nothing more frustrating than having to completely re-do your install just to add an additional electrical component. If you take the time to make fiberglass bezels or beauty panels for your wire distribution the thought of making a change to that distribution is terrifying, as you would then have to redo all of your work. Well now these worries are a thing of the past! Check out my video review of the Knukonceptz KNF60 distribution block. If you would like an additional product reviewed in the future let me know!

Here is my review of the ZED Audio RA. Not the most technical but should give you and idea of it's function and performance. Pics of RA, amp and sub.

I must say this head unit is awesome! Check out the video!

Does anybody have a size comparison of weldingsupply 2/0 and car audio brand 1/0? I would like to see a size comparison with calipers or just a picture side by side would be good

Well I ordered up some cable to do my next install (build log coming soon....hopefully) 4 days ago, UPS just dropped it off and 2 of the 3 lengths I ordered were not in the package. So I'm left here thinking and so I called the phone number from the website to try and figure it out. I did not get a human being right away but it only took 1 button press to get someone on the phone. A man answered promptly and I told him my package arrived and was 2 pcs. of cable short, he said he was very sorry and that the rest of my order would be shipped out today. No questions asked. I was satisfied and off the phone before the UPS man made it to the end of my block. Very nice g…

Well I just got my pair of fusion 5 1/4s I won off ebay today. Wondering if anyone here has any experience with them. Not 100% sure what I am going to do with them. But They came brand new in box for pretty much the cost of shipping so could not pass that up.

Hey all. So these finally came back in to stock and I jumped on one time I saw it. My vehicle - GMC Yukon with 5.3 My Irraggi Amputator was charging real nice first thing in the morning getting up to 14v then a few minutes later, it would settle in at around 13.6v and stay there pretty much all day. I was not happy and was considering buying another alt. I purchased the VCM from the SSA store and as usual communication and ship time were first class. Installation was straight forward taking around 15-20 minutes. There is really no way to install it wrong as it's plug and play. I mounted it temporarily as I wanted to find the sweet spot as to where to set it to charge. I w…

I ordered an XS Power XP2000 on July 2nd and received it today on the 9th. Shipping only took three days and the battery came with absolutely no damages. It sits new at 12.8 and is going to be used as supplemental power for my Sundown 2000d. This battery is huge imo and its weight is no joke. Cheers to SSA again for the great CS. I'll let the pics do the talking.

These amps are incredible, the output and clarity are just above and beyond any other none Zapco amps that I have used. Plus the DSP processing that is built in makes it really easy to tune the set up just right. I hooked my laptop up to the 360 and was able to tune both amps. The setting included, gain, eq, time delay, crossover setting, output level, input level and actually more than I can remember right now. The coolest part is that i could sit in the drivers seat with my laptop and adjust everything all at once. Instead of having to make countless trips to the trunk. The other great feature with the Zapco amp (not just the DC's) is they have a balance line outpu…
