Hey guys and girls, came across this kickass forum through Steve Meade's you tube channel. I gotta say, this shit is dope, definately the coolest forum I have come across. My name is Jason, I'm an old school audiophile but I'm ALWAYS open to gain new knowledge, not embarrassed to say I have been schooled by people half my age before. I have been a faithful Rockford Fosgate customer since I was 16 y/o (I'm 35 now) shit I can remember the day I got my first Punch 150 amp back in the day...I thought I had it going on.

A little about me: Me, I'm a single dad. My daughter is fourteen and is disabled, dont let that fool you though, she is the happiest kid in the world and I am lucky to be her dad. I'm also a mechanic/machinist by trade, been at it for about 15 years, a little longer on the machinist side. Cant say I love it or hate it, it pays the bills and I work normal hours. The most important thing to know about me is that I love being a dad.

About 6 months ago my truck was stolen and stripped clean, and I had pretty much given up on car audio....thats how bad it pissed me off. But, watching all the youtube video's kinda ignited the passion again. As a single dad, I really don’t have much disposable income to put into my passion, so I really had a lot of respect for the gear I had invested in. I'm probably preaching to the choir when I say thieves are the lowest of the low.......the absolute scum of the earth. All I can really say to a thief is. "get a job like the rest of us"! To some of us our passion is more than just simply hooking up audio gear. There are people like me out there who have so much responsibility and so little time for enjoyment, that things like kicking back in the truck with the music blasting is our only form of release. What can I say, it will probably be a while yet before I have everything I need to get bumpin again. So far I have a Pioneer HU, 2 RF Punch P3SD410's, a set of T1652-S components, and T600-4 and P400-4 amps. I still need to get about 20 feet of 1/0 gauge power wire and power distribution accessories. Unfortunately it will be several more months before I can afford to buy any more gear, but in the mean time I'll hang out in the forum and see if I can contribute, and gain some knowledge!!!

Take care,

Jason

Hey guys, my names Brandon and I'm 18 years old, I registered to this forum when I needed help picking out an amp back in janurary, since then Ive gained alot of knowledge from browsing and love this place

Hey guys, my name is Aaron. I have been here for a while and have gained a lot of knowledge and even made a few purchases off the forum. This place is pretty cool and I get one here a few times a day just to brows and see all the cool builds going on... I am also a father to 3 children. One is my blood son and the other I have raised. My oldest boy Kayleb is 7 and I have been with him since he was 9months. He has autism and is an amazing little boy. I am so glad I got the chance to be his dad. My youngest son is Everett and he is 15 months. He is a little hellyann lol but he is my life and my only blood child. Then we have Kaitlyn who is 10 and just the most beautiful little girl. She has a bad attitude just like her mom but what can I say, she is a pre-teen lol. Then my wife who is a bitch most of the time but has been the only one I have found that will put up with my bs and through the worst times she stays.....I am a family man, I love my family and without them I would be nothing more than a lonely man. My mother just had a 4way bypass and that took a lot out of me emotionally. She is a big part of my life and we came close to loosing her. My little brother is my best friend and partner in crime. He loves audio almost as much as I do lol

Anyway thanks for having me guys. I hope to be here for a good while

Hello to the SMD and car audio community. Looking forward to learning as much as I can about car audio because growing up in Eastern NC I have heard systems and I have been hittin up car shows for a while. Never been to an all out bass comp. but I will attend a show on July 2nd that is hosted at "Wilson Stereo & Sound" which will have some sick systems hopefully. Finding a lot of great info on here and finally learning the beginning parts of how to start off build from scratch and seems there are a lot of people who enjoy the same hobby as i do. As some of yall may surpass my knowledge to start with i'll hopefully catch up to yall in the years to come. Found the forums from searching around on youtube to see other peoples systems and builds and all i can say is im glad its here. Recently purchased 2 Q Power (new deluxe) 12's and a SM2-1200 (1200w) Autotek "street machine" amp. Also have 4ga power wire. Comments or suggestions are also welcome. Ill def be seeing everyone around on the forum and excuse any noob questions as im sure there are some to come haha and thanks in advance for any help.

@TIG: Hope your mom comes through good on that bypass. Granddad has had a triple bypass and pulled through. So i wish you the same for sure. Also congrats on the family.

Hey yall....didnt introduce myself. But I do everything from the smartphone since my ex took me to the cleaners earlier this year. I'm 37 and prob close to steves gen. Grew up listening and installing for friends since around 89 (pyramid Haha, urban, kicker, pyle, punch, us amps, etc...Had mediocre systems through college and marriage of 13 years to the one...did not continue one of my passions while married, but since....the fire is back and I've done five boxes in the last three months. Found the setup I like for my car..had many systems stolen even in high school was jacked for everything when I paid for it all. Man I cried. But im looking for an suv now of to get some huge numbers...lol. right now my impala with 4 re 12s srx hurts my ears with 100 inches of port..on 1000 watts. It's unbelievable. I discovered steves site the same as an above poster. I was looking at re bass vids on utube one night cuz I was a big fan of us amps back when they were born..in FLA where I hang near daytona. Am a plain clothes po po when I'm not working in the shop....be safe all...
