Well I beat on it for ~4 hours today. I have mixed feelings about it, but still like it. so I woke up went out side with some tools and one eye open, swapped my Q for the SA, forgot how heavy the Q was... you can one arm the SA though, made me feel like less of a scronny geek. Played with it a lot last night free airing it inside this hollow foot rest I use to hold subs while I test them to let them breath, any way off topic there. Spent the first hour or so running it through the bass mekanik 5.0, got a little smelly for about 10 min then it was fine after that. It took ~1600 watts pretty well for a 600 rms sub. As far as sound quality goes I would call the SA "the budget / scaled down Q". But this is biased on my setup with only changing the sub's out, leavening everything the same. You can really tell the difference from my Q that has the added spider and the control that add's, but you could push on the cones of each and find that out. The SA sounds a bit "sloppy" on fast kick drums, but that could be the box or the aero ports or the fact that I have ~2.5 times the RMS power on it or the media I was using. does very well with heavy bass, though it sounds / feels like it plays higher up in the Hz range compared to the Q. fun sidefect of the swap though is that I have bass at lower vol as opposed to the Q witch didn't really seem to kick in until I was 2/3+ of the way up in my set vol range, which is nice. More flex in my car now as well which is fun for a wow factor, I still need to go hit the TL again see where it's peaking and what numbers it will put up. I also want to try inverting it to give it some extra room and see how that goes, need to check spacing to see if it is even possible. All in all I give it a 8.7 of 10 all around, More later.

Got my SA-15 finally, I will do a small 2 part review of it compared to my FI Q 15". I know it's like comparing apples to fish but it's a good reference in my mind. The SA is not as hefty as my Q but still solidly built, it's not as stiff as the Q but my Q has the extra spider so again not fair. Sounds pretty good free air for right now, staying cool as cold metal even after ~45 min of nonstop playing and tones / sweeps. Side note during sweeps and tones some things fell off my desk and apartment raddled a good bit. Packaging was good, came with a tested on date written in sharpie date was 4/4/11 got hear while I was at work. Has nice cooling compared to older models with the new cooling ring, as well the magnet boot looks good and not cheap. Anyway on to pics.

stupid ass Camry.

i couldn't swing a 270 xp? how would the 320 do me at idle and what would be the cost? thanks again for your time.

found this picture...

where would i find that on the car? i will check in the AM.

Ouch dude, and no not really, sorry. Computers are cheep, go get one lol.

i run active directory, domain controller, WSUS, exchange, backup, FTP, and a few other things out of my house.

sorry for bad picture, camera battery is so dead it wont charge any more.

found one that would fit started wondering if i could even get this PSU in the case. it fit, hear is every thing in the case, also added the plates that cover the expatiation slots but for got to take a picture of that.

just thought i would share this, at least untell i can start me new build for my car for 2011. more fun stuff on the way. this is what i have so far, just wondering if any one else has any interest in this.

You see that sticker on my windshield on the bottom right. It says the vehicle is safe to drive on the road. never hear of that before, odd shit.

WTF are inspection stickers? also tint laws are BS. best ticket story i have is i was doing ~33 over in a construction zone and i told the cop i was speeding because i "had to crap and i had irritable bowl syndrome"....... it worked...... kind of.... had to take a doc note to court, good thing my doc likes me.
