Took my boy to his first MLB game last night. Felt real good as a new daddy

For Jared:

I thought this was pretty cool. Of all the different pictures and manufacturers they had to choose from they picked SSA XCON's for the picture in their ad.

Impedance has nothing to do with loudness. Being 2ohm only means it will draw more current than a 4 ohm driver.

This is another build I'm doing for a friend of mine. I'm doing an audio and hydraulic install for him. Goals... Put a clean and simple system together. Keep wattage reasonable to avoid large electrical upgrades. Good overall sound quality and output. Use as little space possible for audio. Got the box started. Using 3/4" birch plywood with a double baffle. Here is a shot of the backside of the sub for those who haven't seen one of these subs yet. Had to get creative to fit a pair of 3" Aero ports in this box. It's tuned at 33hz with a box volume of 1.5 cubes. The "shrek" box. Just needed to black out the top the other sides aren't seen when installed. Carved a large section of the rear deck out and laid down some second skin deadener. Then we slid the box in and screwed it to the rear seat brace to keep it from moving around. It's not completely sealed off from the trunk but should still cut down on some trunk rattle hopefully. Mounted and wire up the amp. Disregard the carpet in the bottom of the trunk it's not staying there.

no ! you shut up now! Go to florida... You go now!!!

This video is just goody.

Watch in HD and give me your thoughts!

jon took some new vids today, because i seem to move around too much, im very happy with the results of the re tuning today, but of course i hope to be louder soon. but im loving this for now.

From my personal experience trunk cars meter with port firing driver side..... Awesome Score! I bet it sounds amazing in there as well. If you want to be LOUD and still sound good SSA is the way to go IMO! I love my icons. Right now I am only pushing 4k on 8 18's and squeezed 150.8 out of my 4th order. And the CLARITY is just AMAZING! good Job Danielle....... Jon props to you as well sir as I am sure you played a big roll

x2 on all that. i am a host so im on my feet for 7-8hrs a day plus i was taking addipex.. helps a ton. lol they are illegal here in ohio so i had to go to KY and get my perscription. iv been off them for 3 or 4 weeks now and i have no addiction what so ever. I wouldn't fuck with any pills like that. Replace junk food / processed food with whole food, reduce sugar and carbohydrate consumption. Protein has great satiety properties so you can use it in place of say carbs, and feel relatively full while still being on a caloric deficit. Another note: If you gradually reduce your carb intake to around 100g or less per day, and aren't consuming lots of sugar, then your body can slowly start relying more so on fat for an energy source instead of glucose. The body will still use glucose stored in muscles known as glycogen during intense activities, but daily activities, walking, hiking, etc could all burn fat. If your interested in reading more about the latter, look up ketosis, and ketogenic diets.

all badged up... and she has been doing really well.. so i turned up the gain a bit.... baby steps... if it does well then maybe a 1000 watts is next..

Got the first videos of the wall!! I used my friend DC L4 XL 18"s for the weekend to see what all needed to be worked on before my subs went in at full power. The M4a was @.5ohm, so a good bit of juice, but not as much as I'll be running with the MT's. And I noticed I started running into power compression issues with the XL's, they couldn't take the full power of the amp,even at .5ohm. None the less, here are the videos!!! Last night demoing to a friend while my GF does a hairtrick. Someone said this morning that a hair trick in the window is to to easy, so I did this.

5'10" and 215. Honestly a lil too soft around the middle. Gotta change that. And Weight numbers on a scale don't mean shit. Its all about the bf%, blood pressure, cholesterol (good and bad), blood sugar levels, and how active you are. J

I don't want my son to grow up.

The tube will be strong enough without any modification. They fill these with concrete all the time.

Hi Magalie! My name is Senchez and I'm from the states. I have no kids and work for cummins diesel engine. In my spare time I like turn my music up really loudly and hang with the ssa/iak friends. I don't train to get fit but I do eat quite a bit for my size. Besides that I'm a full time student and I don't play poker. Maybe there is an online webcam spade website?

I never said "up front speakers" were a marketing ploy (whatever "up front speakers" means?), I said all of the "add ons" they try to sell you are a marketing ploy...such as their center stage kit, their upstage kit, etc. If you would like me to explain why I think it's a bad idea from an acoustics point of view, then I would be happy to do so. I already told you what I don't like about CDT. The value isn't there. The cost of the speakers are not in line with their performance. They aren't "bad" per say, you will probably be happy with their sound. But you could have purchased different speakers for less money and been just has happy, and not spent the money on the center stage kit. Specs and objective measurements tell you a lot if you have the right objective information and understand how to interpret it. More than any subjective review or subjective evaluation could ever hope to obtain. There's absolutely nothing wrong with asking questions and "questioning authority", if that's how this instance is viewed.

Amen!

Ey guys, relax , didn't write anything offensive @Ts , please just take it as a compliment , avatars like that is just not something you see on a car-audio forum everyday on topic : looks like you got some good guys helping you improving your scores ,but if you wanna research some for yourself, on another forum that shares name with SSA's Steve Mead theres a pretty good thread for beginners to help raise their score by "Fecupe2001" she has plenty good mentors here on SSA. Smd is for trolls

did a bit of metering today, .. before i install my new mechman alternator. and here are spome results..// i could not get a good peak metering, because my CD player is now skipping i found its DB limit..so this is the best i could get while skipping burp on music now these are a series of me testing my stereo, and basicly watching voltage and doing some music metering here is my best music score.. ever... so the next video series will be WITH the new mech man intalled

always!!! you know me. SSA second skin and now mechman too!!

they had me parked around the side of the building.. aways from the show.. and every time i would start demoing a croud would walk over,.. good times! god damn im huge videos... my chick is still trying to get taking vids down pat, she moves around a bit too much, my sealed run.. on music... windshild anway thats the finish and update ... i have yet to do any outlaw metering..

got a little work done today.

hello

bye bye did someone say something about welding lead???

Moar testing! How about some zcons and DC amps. I heard they were a good combo

well i did some more metering as a book mark before i once again.... REBUILD!! this is the last score from my current set up. unless i get a hair in my ass and try to break 149. tomorrow before i start the tear down

ok guys got some work done today... im trying to get better ready for the show this weekend. it was cold today.. when i started my ride to move it into my work spot it had 14.9 volts in the rear battery bank, soo.. was my truck this morning . and here is some work! lets make buss bars washers on the bottoms lock washers on the top! i removed all carpet, and factory sound mat, and this is how my trunk looked when i quit for the day! EWW

i was rolling over a chicken truck.. heres a shot from the local paper but thats a whole other topic i never update anymore

my vids are kinda bitter sweet for me..my front stage is so loud and crisp and clean in person.. but is just too damn loud for the cam mic.

Nice we are moving up a little more. If we break top 1000 that is pretty serious.
