  1. Counted my pennies and I am a little off from getting these but with that deadline I should have more than enough time to get my hands on these bad boys
  2. Yeah how much power are you running cause they sound clean as hell what highs are you running?
  3. i like how u say its not a florida thing and for an example u use miami lol LMAO I noticed that after I posted but the owner of the car lived in another state can't remember where though. Miami Chassis is well known for their work and attention to detail they do really big systems and a lot of custom fab work they aren't cheap. I wasn't really giving an example of location I was just saying that I have seen the popularity of the camaro and doing big biiiig rims.
  4. Not just a Florida thing it's an anywhere thing I was at Miami Chassis a few weeks ago and they were doing a Camaro with a really nice Arc Audio custom system dude had big ass 28" Floaters put on the car. IMO big rims on muscle cars makes 0 sense especially considering it was a SS the damn thing is built to go fast not have issues turning corners but to each his own the work on that Camaro was nice people have their own tastes when it comes to cars. I get enough shit about wanting to put my time into hooking up a Civic but when it's all said and done and my car is complete I will be able to shut the naysayers up. I never really get into a way "someone else's" car looks their taste their preference my only gripe is when it sounds like pure
  5. thats what i think, they will take rca's out and use the hdmi's lol. Scion and some other manufacturers who have RCA outs don't use stock units. Last scion I did was a 2010 TC with a double din Pioneer deck which came stock from the factory and with some car makers that have premium sound packages or just want to market the car to a younger "hipper" crowd use Pioneer, Kenwood, Eclipse or Clarion for their stock decks anyway.
  6. BUMP! Forgot I had these up if purchased before the new year I will sell each for $150 or both for $250 together shipped anywhere in the U.S. (Includes APO's).
  7. :woot: Damn time to break open the piggy bank and start counting my pennies...I hope this is open long enough for me to get my money right to get these.
  8. That would be pretty bad ass in the accent but gabbi wasn't having it so I said the civic needed moar powa its going to be an interesting build I can tell you that much
  9. Wow! you better not be putting these in Gabs car haha LOL, Oh noooooo she would castrate me but I am planning a more low key custom system for her accent something that frees up all the space in the cargo area maybe some shallow mount subs like the JL flats but no those sexy ass SA-8's will be going into my next big Civic build coming soon to an SMD forum near you. I just need to get my electricals together.
  10. LMAO I get everything sent to my job so I get paid to wait
  11. Yeah I also just because my mind went elsewhere.
  12. Don't worry that feeling is common hell when I had everything pulled out while I was building my system I decided to grab my boombox throw some batteries in it and had it in my back seat playing loud as hell. I tried going without a system but that lasted a good 24 hours before I went insane like I can't take the silence its too nerve wrecking.
  13. This will be perfect same question pre order prices and deals would be good to know
  14. LOL I have a SoundStream Ref 705 that I was thinking about selling but it actually ended up in my Tahoe build with a Soundstream Rubicon sitting next to it. My dream amp would have to be "The One" from Phoenix Gold always loved the company and that amp is just beautiful but way the hell out of my price range.
  15. In my opinion I would go with the Precision Power amp. I like the clarity of their amps I have used the PPI and the HiFonics and I liked the PPI better, I have no personal experience with MB Quart but I have heard some good things about their amps. Strictly off of specs and price the MB Quart would probably be best.
  16. What the Hell are you talking about??? Car Audio may have died down in some areas but it certainly is not dead and further more there are plenty of companies sponsoring cars it's just not an easy thing to get into. Since you are "Out of the Industry" why are you a member of a Car Audio forum. May I add that if you check numbers of some of the popular main stream brands sales in recent years have crept back up, Car Audio is like anything else it has its trends sometimes its hot sometimes its not but best believe it will never die. I am a member of a car audio forum because I am still an audio enthousiast. I am still building vehicles and installing car audio in my own vehicles. I just don't work for car audio company any more. I started in the business in the 80s and some may say that I am glamorizing the past but car audio was a great business at one point with sound quality and installation techniquue being a big focus. Each year it was exciting to see the innovations made at CES. Now with the exception of a few small companies, car audio is all about who can make the cheapest amp with the most power and as long as the amp survives it is a success. Cheap is what sells, that pretty much sums it up and I am glad to be out of that business. Just stating a fact, its a free country. No my friend you are voicing an opinion. Car Audio may not be what "You" think it is but it is still very much alive and very innovative. Some mainstream brands may produce shit products but that don't mean that's what its all about. I mean last time I checked some of the biggest and most popular competitors don't even use the mainstream brands any fool off the street would recognize. Whether or not your believe it this industry is alive and well. With your mind state believe me a lot of us are glad you are out of this industry negativity is what kills and yours was unnecessary. My advise to the guy looking for sponsorship was spot on, "friend" and that is coming from someone who has build around a dozen cars for SEMA and had plenty of sponsorship myself. The rest was my opinion, thats cool, I am glad we are all glad. Alive and well is your "opinion". I dont think they guys that worked at Eclipse think it is alive and well. Or Kenwood that got bought up by JVC, or Orion, PPI and ADS that went bankrupt or MB Quart that went under. How about Hifonics that used to be a good brand. Then there are the companies that laid off 1000s of employees combined. Do they think it is "alive and well". Maybe alive but certainly not well. There is a small group of competitors and hardcore guys in the niche that high end audio has because. That does not mean the "industry" is alive and well. That is my opinion based on many facts, This is a forum where people are allowed to express opinions, or I thought it was. I can appreciate your sarcasm and I can also appreciate a good debate and you did make some points but again your "facts" can be said about just about any industry field. We all know companies come and go some live long and others go belly up but one thing that is for certain is that this industry is far from dead. Just because a company has had its run does not mean the industry is dead, if that were the case then this forum would not exist and be as successful as it is. No one is saying some of these companies haven't taken hits but like with anything in business you win some you lose some. There are some companies that survived the test of time and were able to withstand the lean years while others had to call it quits. Just because PPI filed bankruptcy does not mean they died out especially considering I am running Precision Power gear now, MB Quart is still around and producing products and while Hifonics may not be as "good" anymore some of their equipment is still solid. The economy hasn't been easy for any company in any field. I am not jumping on you for expressing your opinions I simply responded to something I disagreed with. I don't want you to think you are being attacked I just had a rebuttal to your claim. P.S. Welcome to SMD

  19. He hasnt announced a presale price yet and I am not sure about the airspace but if you look at the new 8 its a little bigger I don't know how it will affect the old. 6
  20. Cool do ya thang
  21. No problem with that at all and I thought you were asking for suggestions lol but believe me the subs with that amp will be fine and it will get loud. Wire them down to 1 ohm for more power or keep em at 2 ohm to stay efficient you don't want to beat the RE's to hell and like CleanSierra said box design tuning and amp settings are the biggest factor in this. My little 500w system puts a lot of these bs systems in my area to shame because its loud and clear not too bass heavy and no rattle. It's all on your box you need to really put some time into planning everything before you take a step in any direction. Link is bad. Edit Again I found it and for $480 that is not a bad set up at all it will get loud in the right enclosure and you will be happy in the end if you get it done right. After you get it installed find someone in your area with a DD-1 or OScope and get that ish tuned correctly. Please do not cut any corners if you have anymore questions ask away.
  22. At 2000w rms I would still run that amp or hell you wanna be boss scoop up two and do ya thang but for under $250 2000w rms cea compliant and 1 year warranty I say its a pretty good friggin deal.
  23. Well you asked for preferred and we gave you preferred no need for the all caps RAGE!!! and here is a link for a mono amp you might like CEA compliant and it does rated DB Drive Audio Savings
  24. 600w RMS the manufacturer usually lists the suggested or preferred RMS of their subs.
