Team SSA

Please do take a moment to read this topic and not just look at the pictures, as some of the photos will not make sense if you skip over what I try to say. I am few days behind on getting this pictures posted up, but life and all that goes with it has been in the way. Anyway, a MASSIVE thank you goes out to Don at http://www.Sounddeadenershowdown.com. I had initially hoped to use the SDS product line on the little Mazda with Don's guidance, but he went far and away above the call of duty and took 3, yes 3, very long work days out of his schedule to help me along the way. This was an excellent learning experience for me in terms of the physics of how the acoustics effe…

Lets get this build log started! I was debating a new build back in October, but with the haunt and buying the new building, well I had to put it off until now. What funded this build was, in my very little free time I clean saltwater aquariums and have been saving that money for a few months. I was undecided which way I wanted to go, but after talking to Aaron I decided to go with SSA subs. I have never been part of the team until now, but I have always promoted SSA in a positive manor. I decided on 2 18" XCONS sealed. The box is 54"x22"x22.75" total net vol after disp and bracing is about 11.6 cubes. Now for the pictures and yes this may be picture heavy.

Figured I would get this started for him because I just finished up his sub box for the new GCON. So far we have installed a sony cd player and 4 Kicker 6.5's in the doors. The amps are picked out, but not purchased yet. He has been working hard to earn money to make these purchases, but as a good uncle I do not let him spend all of his money on audio equipment. Audio is fun, but gas and van maintenance are first. I snapped some pictures of the box as I was building it. Box is 22x21x18 which should be right around 3.64 cubes after sub displacment. We may have to add some polyfill to dampen, we will see at a later time.

new thread,less shit... more action stuff coming soon... real soon...

if everything is ok with Dave, we could plan a second meet because there are a bunch of things we never got to or did not finish, we might have to push it back to after the new year due to holiday commitments.. such as: - did not get to hear the hyndai - Ramos is in the middle of my door pods at the moment and need power - did not get to Jims van - did not put a wall in the Escape sooooo whos in?

I just started on the new design for my build. There's a few new details like new stainless accents, completely new enclosure design, and a new Mechman H/O alternator. Here's a few pix of what I've done so far: New bracket to hold the inline fuse under the hood. (10ga. 304 stainless steel) New front battery top strap. (10ga. 304 stainless steel) This could only mean one thing............. Common chamber for 2~15" Icon D1 - 8cf. @ 27hz I'll keep chugging away (weather permitting) and snappin' pix as I go. It's supposed to rain all weekend here so very little will happen in the next few days. The alternator should be here next week sometime.

So my name is Josh LaFountain, and I drive 100% stock. Crazy I know, but after spending 4 years burping competition SPL setups in a Ranger, I had to take a leave from the hobby for college (it isn't cheap) but now I'm back. I drive a 100% stock 2007 Chevy Silverado V8 4dr. and in a few weeks I'll be driving from Baton Rouge, LA to Phoenix (1496 miles!) where me and my brother Mark with do a complete audio overhaul. The idea is to build a ground pounder from scratch, going big the first time (#1 piece of advice I can offer to people starting the hobby). This will not be for burping one tone, or for pure spl competition. It's for everyday ground pounding, and maybe I'll c…

Ok guys, it's finally reached this point where I want to put up some "real" numbers with a few subs. There are a few shows coming up in the next few weeks I am trying to get ready for. All is hinging on if my new Alt that DC Power is custom building me for my Hyundai (since they haven't built any for a Santa Fe yet). Here's the list of equipment I am gathering for this one... (2) MTX TE40001D Mono Blocks (Going to strap them) (2) MTX TE10004 4 Channel Amps (225 x4) (2) Speical/Just for me 4,000 watt RMS 18" SSA Subs (and before you ask, we will not be selling these anytime soon at all. So please don't ask.) (1) DC Power 270 XP / Custom Built (??) XS Power Batteries (S…

Well the time has come... I have always wanted a vehicle dedicated to just stereo, and the other day I found one i've always wanted so I pulled the trigger on it. 1996 2 Door Tahoe, 350 Small Block 4WD. Still unsure exactly what is going to happen to this poor truck, but it will be Evil to say the least. Stay tuned....

Well it's almost time, so I have to get geared up for when the subs get here. I've sold off the current amps I had, and here's new sub stage thats going in... 2 XCON 15 D1s (18s possibly) 1 PIECE OF LEXAN FROM CIVICMAN FOR A SUB WINDOW <img src="http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> 1 SAZ-3000D 1 SAX-100.4 2 KINETIK 2400s. allready have the truck deadened thanks to Ant. from <a href="http://www.secondskinaudio.com" target="_blank">Second Skin Audio</a> on to the pics....

I am finally starting my new build on my Dodge Durango. I almost have all the equipment in. Just waiting on the new battery and some wire. The ride: The wheels: Anella Diamond II Suv 22" My vehicle has a third row (I never use it) which I will be removing to create a false floor for battery and wire storage. Third row removed: There is a storage place in the back of the vehicle where my amps can fit perfectly into: Amps: MB Quart DSC 1500.1 MB Quart DSC 480.4 running Diamond D6 components right now until I purchase some Bravox components These amps have always worked well for me. They look nice next to each other because they are in the same case and are the same si…

So Gabriel has decided to join forces with SSA and do this build after the current shop that built his current set up has refused to make changes to current set up to keep him happy. So we are going to tear this down and rebuild it with XCON 12's in our spare time to get this to be one loud set up. Here's some pics of the car at the last show, then the tear down pictures...

2007 Chevrolet Cobalt Sedan Equipment: SSA XCON D1 10" Subwoofer powered by two Zed Minilith's strapped @ 2 ohm. Mach 5 MLI 6.5" mids with LPG 25NFA tweeters powered by a Zed Draconia. Pioneer 2300 DVD. SDS products. The Mach5s are crossed over from 60hz up to 2000hz. The LPGs are from 2000hz and up. I can not be more happy with how this pair sounds. They blend very well together. This build is still a work in progress. I have everything except the Miniliths, which are on their way. I will continue to add pictures and updates as work is completed. Some starting pictures. The car: Car did not come with a center console, so I bought one. Sound Deadening Process. I woul…

Just going to start this log for Ernie...here's the initial sketch up for his 2 12" 2010 ICONs. This is going to be loud!

We are comensing this build in the Scion TC (2008). Building the box for it toinght. 2.8ft^3 sealed. Sub up in the back of the TC, pics will follow in a few hours. This should be fun.

I decided it was time to build a garage to work on Aaron's cars and build box's for SSA sub-woofers. At some point I will have an APM2 to meter cars. Without further to do here are the pictures of my progress,
