SS is our oldest SMD Partner - dating all the way back to June of 2009 (wow!) . In that time, they've run some killer promotions and sales for SMD Members. This is the deepest one I can recall!

Still got it but it's likely going up for sale soon . . . Since the last post, I've put maybe 8k on the clock.

What you didn't tell us is what kind of vehicle this is. Many, and I mean many, late model vehicles have all kinds of challenges facing you in the digital domain that must be undone or normalized before installing new gear - equalization contours designed to make $3 speakers sound like $30 ones, fully active systems with each component having a narrow bandwidth of operation and / or delay, multiple position contours overlaid on top one another, etc. In addition, you could have some impedance mis-matching with your interface which could cause frequency response irregularities, etc. So, share a bit more.

Tha'ts a really good deal! Wow.

I don't necessarily agree. Sound Deadening can be a significant investment for some of the serious builds at SMD! I think this is a great option and commend Second Skin for offering it.

These seem like very reasonable prices!

Appearing on Inside West Coast Customs - Wow! This is quite an achievement. Congratulations Ken, Sue, Eric, and team! I was able to watch the show last night off of my DVR and Ken and Eric did a great job. The Vee-Dub came out pretty awesome. If you haven't seen the episode yet, be sure and set your DVR to record it. On another note, WCC has really transformed over the years. If you're a fab junkie, this facility has it. I was amazed at the skill demonstrated on this build.

Very cool. BITD, there were a few builds with 24" woofers but until now, you just couldn't find 'em. Jacob - mad props for having the balls to do it!

Steve - lookin' good thus far! Happy New Year buddy.

I bought one of these a while ago. In that time, I've used it to bring back TWO batteries from the dead. I've had an older 14V Intellicharger for a while but the 1005 does 12V, 14V and 16V batteries so it was a no brainer upgrade. 1 - A nearly new Red Top Optima that for some reason was resting below 1V after just 30 days in the car. [i just couldn't fit an XS Power battery in this application.] Firstly, I've never seen a battery register less than a volt - ever. This one did. [This is Phoenix, the proving grounds for automotive batteries . . . but it hadn't even gotten hot yet!] So, I connected up the Intellicharger and let it do its thing over the course of 48 hours. I chose the 5A charge rate as the battery was so freakin' dead and had little hope. Surprise - not only did the Intellicharger bring it back to life, but that battery hasn't given me a lick of trouble in 3 months now! It's almost like this battery wasn't really "fresh" when I got it. 2 - I come home one day to my elderly neighbor swapping the battery out of her Escalade. [she was doing a damn fine job too with her Stanley tool kit!] I offered to help her as she was having a difficult time lifting the old battery out. As she had already purchased a new battery for it, I finished the swap and buttoned up the job. Success. I took her old battery to the shop and it measured around 12.4 VDC. Hmmm . . . I load tested it with my Snap-On carbon pile and it fell flat on its face. So, I put it on the Intellicharger and let it rip overnight. The next day, I load tested it again and it passed with flying colors. I've never seen a flooded lead acid battery recover so quickly from a load test. It was resting at 12.8 VDC before and immediately after the 15 second load test. Intellicharger FTW. You need one. In short order, this charger will pay for itself many times over.

Welcome to SMD David.

Less than 70 lbs domestic . . . if it fits it ships!

Wow - Jacob, it used to take a WHOLE lot more than that to post up those kinds of numbers BITD. We had (12) 12" that did "only" a 150.1 on a B&K in 1992 . . . Technology has marched on!

Nick, I've always been a fan of BIG woofers. Any pics to share with those that are running multiple 21 inchers in vehicles?
