me too..... but i rememeber them well.. i had a few.... its funny, in no way am i talking shit.... but steve and i have talked about this before.... you really are kinda new to audio...... jl kicker system in the stang, the REs in the truck, the sundowns in the truck.. then the SS we know today correct? its just hard to belive that the 160DB steve mead we know is young in the game, but very acoplished. good job! yes your right. I've always had something, but not at this level. Still learning and growing for sure. First badass sub I bought an OG blue icon 15 about 3.5 years ago.Seems like I've been building and rebuilding this Camaro for years on here but its only been just over a year. I think this is the largest build log the forum has seen, maybe the biggest thread (besides ihop). I met some cool people at finals in Indy and got some new build ideas for the Camaro and later, an suv. I'm sure lots of people are sick of seeing my log at the top of the screen, but I like to show all my progress. Good and bad. It's just who I am. I got off the phone last night with a good friend who is loud and he gave me some pointers and things to try in the Camaro before its retired.

On a brighter note, I scored the game winning goal tonight with 34 seconds left in the game.

Hahahaha I love all the serious political talk that surrounds Big Jon's NSFW post. Now that's a guy with his priorities straight

If box size is an issue then we all know Sundowns take smaller boxes but being on this forum everybody is gonna recommend SSA so its pointless to make this thread. If your leaning towards Dcons and don't want to take up to much space then do one 15 or two 12s, simple as that.

Didn't realize Americans were this stupid. I knew they were dumb, but holy fuck.

I want me a 300blk for Christmas.

Getting naked in a hot tub, and occasionally streaking and having women gasp at your junk doesn't qualify you as Romanian sir.

Hell yeah Tony! Thanks for sharing!

lol. The name is already taken.... And nobody but this forum knows me. I'm not an internet badass. SMZ's? SMP's? and what would those initials stand for? Steve Mead's Zcon's or Steve Mead's Prototype's. Just going off of what others had posted before. Ready, set, break!Make it hap'n cap'n Can I get that on the dustcap? LOL are these gonna be like the "West Coast Custom" subs they have at Best Buy? If so then i'll take 48 the fuck does that mean? Ssa subs are cheap? no, i was being sarcastic saying that i would buy an unrealistic number of them because it has your name on it and i would be "nut hugging" like many people do with SMD. Also with the reference to the "West Coast Customs" sub, they are super cheesy and it would be stupid to have your name on the dust cap of the subs. get me now?

Seriously? You asked this on the SSA forum....what did you think the answer would be? As a matter of fact, I've seen you recommend Dcon's over the E-Series before...so...I don't understand what you wanted to get out of this thread... Anyway, here's my unbiased opinion. I've heard the E-series. They're on par with some of the more expensive mainstream drivers. In my experience they sound better than Rockford P2's (in a direct swap) and take more power. The P2's got stinky whereas the E's didn't break a sweat. They're rated for the same power. In the installation I heard them in, they were a little bit more peaky than my SA-12's but that was 99% a fault of the box they were in. I never got to hear them on anything on rap music so I can't truly comment on the quality of their sound but 35hz was damn loud for what it was. The main reason to get the E's over the Dcon's is price (are you willing to pay more?) and build time (the E's will ship next day. Dcon's have to be built). I think they're both good drivers but they're aimed at different audiences.

I don't understand the people who are so extremely happy about our current president and think he is going to be wonderful and save us. Just don't get it.

always smoooothh!

and there is no way i would ever vote for a guy who makes $2M per year off of companies that he sent outside the US and a guy who doesn't even have a bank account in the US. How could he even be a president if he doesn't even support the country? What a friggin snake. Polaris already built a new manufacturing plant in Mexico for some of theiir products i would like to keep the rest of them right here in the US Wow is that full of misunderstanding. Liberal media got you obviously. Put it in perspective. Let's say someone offered your $2M a year if you outsourced your own job to Mexico. You wouldn't do it? If you answer no, you are fucking lying. If someone will do a job cheaper you should let them. The cure is education. Only problem we have as a society is that our kids are all lazy fucks and won't get educated nor would they work. So why would we keep menial jobs for them to not do while foreigners come here gladly and do the work? Or perhaps you'd like to spend 8 hours a day putting one screw in one location on a piece of machinery for $2/hr.

About time ... Not that I smoke weed, but each individual should have the choice to do what they want in a free country within reason (not harming other people, damaging property, etc.) ...Land of the free, unless free means you want to do something the government doesn't want you to do ... Then we'll throw you in jail for years even though you didn't cause any physical harm to another citizen ...

America's fucked regardless

The whole transparency thing and the "troops home in 6 months" shit makes me sooooooooo mad. I'm boiling.

Okay your not helping your cause. edit: I posted this concerning the previous shit, not the picture.

Not Swiss level of pimpin, but good.

The workforce at my plant is 90% Mexican. They take off for weeks at a time and go back home. When they come back, they are scared out of their minds. The cartels have really taken over the country and it is not even safe for the citizens let alone tourists.

Aaron you made my night! Positive thinking. I'm however going to explore the world from the bottom of a half gallon mason jar of home made cask and creme. I used bourbon and it is goooood.

I was just having a similar conversation with my Mastiff. The pups will always console a broken heart.

I can barley bring myself to raise my mastif in a world lime this!

They forgot to feed the mouse.

Really? You're surprised?

That makes me feel a little old.

There is only one valid reason I can think of for voting for Obama. He's not Romney.

Hey man! lovin how your doin the videos as your explanation along the way. Im sure ill learn some skills i didnt know before BTW: Great brands in the title! All the same stuff i use! I saw this topic w/ those brand names and was like "hey, this guy know what to buy" haha! Anyway, Im tuned in!

I had two of those in my jeep liberty and almost hit 150 db. 148.6 actual number on a aq2200 amp.

Yeah, let's encourage more laziness and stupidity.

I'm sorry (dunno why I'm apologizing) but I'm with M5 on this one. SQ is not objective first off, and its judged by ppl who KNOW what SQ sounds like. Im sorry but youre looking for the wrong things. I personally guarantee you (and most of you others) that you don't know what SQ sounds like and would never ever ever ever be willing to sacrifice a bigass expensive woofer like a Q12 for that purpose if you knew. X10 maybe. For any amount of real power, BL all the way. TS specs muddy under thermal duress anyways. Not that most wouldn't be equally happy with one or the other, or could even tell the difference lol. Now I've owned a triple stack Q15 for daily and a plug mag Q12 also for daily. I had SPL BL 12s for SPL (duh) and a BL 15 for bassrace. I now run two BtL N2 12s for daily and bassrace. That's post army, I ran rockford Hx2s and TRFs mostly from 96 and on, with some random JLs and kickers and Soundstream mixed in. I've installed every brand of woofer except DLS and Ground Zero, in most configurations and sizes. With any brand, individual model, size, and power class, you can just as easily have a good result as a bad one, if you are a half-assed type of person. Chances are you couldn't guess the brand of any subwoofer if you were to only hear it playing, so how different can they really be? Obviously there's variability in construction quality, so it makes sense to choose consistent brands like Fi/SSA. Somebody even said you really don't know until you hear it, which is true for 99.9% of car audio. But its up to you to DESIGN the system correctly around the equipment and the space available, budget, etc. If you don't know how to DESIGN a system, you ask stupid questions like "which plays lower?". You can get a 5" midrange to play 5Hz (probably not audibly, but you didn't specify that did you?) its not up to the speaker. When I had a Q15 I had it tuned to like 29Hz in an explorer, and it played plenty low, and loud over almost all frequencies. I did a Q12 sealed in 2 cubes in my wifes jeep and hated the lack of low end produced by the loading direction of the sub. Ported the enclosure and tuned it high, like 36, and i still play down to 25 easy because it loads much better now. My current setup with two BtL 12s plays the loudest on the lows out of all the setups, even with a trunk wall, because my sedan has a long cabin that I take full advantage of. Point I'm making is you have to have goals set and prudent planning to make a great system. Brand names are an after thought. If its going to sound good It's because it was designed properly. End of story. You know what i look for in a woofer? Low Vas. That's what gets me excited. More room for ports baby.

Punctuation

oh hell no lol. we aint married or nothing so it really aint non of her concern but like for instance, when i got these w7s (for less than $300 i will say) she flipped out and was going on about me saving for a house... i was like, im 19 and live at home. saving for a house hasnt even crossed my mind haha.
