    Yeah thats cool Jonathon I wish you were there too but that would have made you old like me. That's okay though as long as you stay young at heart like me. Car Audio will help with that. hehe JoeRod

    JoeRod's 34 10's Loaded Horn

    "Camaro Joe" Moreira has been my friend for over 20 years. He is an absolutely amazing installer. He seems to get better with every single install by leaps and bounds. The current reigning iSQC Champion he is the solo installer of Eddie DeJesus' DLS Chevy S10 which is the Richard Clark Grand National of today being owned by a private individual on a budget and winning against Manufacturer vehicles with unlimited resources. We are talking about doing an Alma style vehicle that can win SQ and BassRace with 12 18s in a LOADED HORN using either Fi or Ascendant and having around 20,000 watts on bass using either Sundown or Rockford amplification. Our goal will be multiple shows shooting for 1st place in SQ and BassRace. Why not have the best of both worlds.

    Ordered wrong ohms from SSA

    My friend ordered the wrong ohms from SSA this morning and we are trying to fix. Any help appreciated. Ordered 2 Havoc 18s D2 needs dual 4ohms running off of a RF 40001
  6. I think it was about 1.5 per w/ 60 sq inches of port. I forgot ezactly but it was Crossfires suggestions and BMF subs. Came out really nice they were all amazed that the subs could keep up with the obnoxious ALPHA mids and highs in there. They said that no matter what they do the subs never kept up w/ the Eminence Alpha's and that this time the bass was actually LOUDER!!!
  7. Made quick friends with Joe and made this really cool video! Windshield was moving even more but my digital Camera w/ 7.1 megapixels really got the job done on this one. Joe was really awesome and inviting to give us a really cool DEMO!! Thanks Joe... We missed you at Slamfest but look forward to seeing you again! Although Joe's S10 is bad AZZ in it's own right, w/o any stereo. I think my girl may be the star of this one. If she would've had one more button undone, on her new Ascendant button up she was rockin, would the vid have been allowed?!?! hehe We all had a great time at SBN 2008 and getting together w/ Joe just made it all the better. As an S10 owner myself~props on a VERY NICE CLEAN DIME!!! And Joe whenever you are done w/ lil jon lemme know and you can bring that welder of yours this-a-way. hehe (I've got the BEER) and Kinetiks!!! I got another vid of your ride I'll add later on BRO. Special thanks to Scott, Paul, Nick, & Shawn and the rest of Fi/Ascendant for allowing us to have a quality product that people can get really excited about!!! It's my honor to use your fine products. (NO I don't expect anything this is just from the HEART!!!!) What you are all already doing is more than I expected in my lifetime!!! Joe, by the way, I have something for you. 1 really big Fi sticker in solid RED..... same size as pic below.......Joey
  8. Hey guys I am at the Daytona SBN right now. It is Saturday night. My head has been rocked today by lil jons 18 15" AA Chaos in a sealed clamshell with 2 partial dividers and 9 Clarion 1500 rms amps. lil jon said he's getting about 800rms per and his installer big mikey says each sub has 2.5 cubes. Chris a builder at Fi/AA explained to me that the AA lineup is thir retailer line (avail to dealers) and that each sub is exactly comparable to the Fi lineup. The Chaos that lil jon are running are in fact an SSD w/ the copper coil options. The rest of the lineup is in AA is the Fi equiivalent with all options. SO the Mayhem is a BTL fully loaded triple mag with daily option. If you want to order options specific woofers than you must order the Fi lineup. If you order an AA subwoofer (Havoc) you are getting a Fi Q w/ all the options. Pretty cool actually cuz now the AA is the flagship cadillac optioned Fi sub w/ all options. Again if you wanted to not have cooling on a sub than you would order a Fi version. Or if you just like the Fi logo better obviously get the Fi's The only big difference right now besides the logo is the newly introduced Havoc (Q loaded) has the appearance of a W7 "concaved with no outtie dust cover" and the Q still has the reg shaped cone and dust cover. Loading vids slowly I'll try to get them up later tonight. Must go have drink now--Peace BTW Sound is amazing. Plays all the notes,Let me say that again ALL THE NOTES and is the best thing I've personally witnessed in 14 years. Chaos I mean SSD,s I mean Chaos are the chit. I am truly impressed with the BTL as far as impressing people but I would think I would only suggest that to a customer who can only fit one sub or two subs and have the power to run them. The BTL certainly Bangs hard but the SSDs just sound way more natural and smoother. The BTL has way better SQ than it's comparable SPL type of competitors and doesn't have the aweful "motor" sound that so many SPL specific woofers have. But the SSD seems to be a much better sounding subs and if you need more than 4 will definately get the job done right and cost a lot less while doing it. I mean Chaos hehe.

    Daytona SBNs lil jons 18 15" CHAOS

    Tell me about...i been waiting for some good videos for over a month PIPO I can get all the vids I took onto the computer except yours. Startin to think you may have temporarily broke my camera! hehe. No Chit!!! I can watch your vid on my camera but it won't load onto the computer for some reason... I have JPang workin on it though. BTW Pipo. I am completely use to it and your 16 Havoc 12s hurt me like I've never been hurt (and my lil camera) Joe your Red S10 is coming soon i promise!

    Trying to decide between AA Havoc and Fi Q

    How so? I thought they just pushed more power and were built with more tolerance in mind. I think you'll be happy either way. you really can't mess this one up. How much airspace do you have in your trunk. Do you know how to figure that? Or how big of a box you can slide in and out? Try using cardboard to make up a mock size box that can slide in and out of the trunk w/o hitting anything or bending the cardboard. Once you have your mocked up enclosure the right size (Tape usually helps) multiply HxWxD and divide by 1728. This will give you your gross CF available. Tell us what that is. The sealed works really good and plays the Lowz like magic. BTW I own both subs and am happy with both. You may be able to run 2 subs if you have the airspace...although you don;thave the power to push 2 Havocs or maybe even Qs you could run 2 SSDs.. They have great SQ also and move nicely off of 600 per!

    hair trick

    lil jon I think the Q's stock would rock out the best...you seen Pipo puttin 2K to each Havoc and they took it w/o a sweat. I hooked up a Sundown 3K to a Havoc at 4ohms and it was a thing of beauty. Right now I have 2 hooked up to the 3K at 1 ohm sealed and they are gettin down. Tell Mikey I said hi and I'm very impressed and proud of him. joey Lil jon your the man in my book. Quads that chit all day. Fk chargin batts hehe

    lincolns....... all big jons,...

    AcidBurn, If you could get it down to where the side wall of the tire is larger than the gap between the tire and the fender, it'd look 10000x better, IMO. Agree 100% I don't want anyone to mistake my Linc for Gravedigger! hehe

    lincolns....... all big jons,...

    I have a 91 TC. I want to bag it on 22s. Here is a pic of me next to a 91 TC w/ 22s at SBN 3 years ago. My buddy owns the bag shop in Ocala and whenever ifever I sell my truck I'm gonna have one bad ass TC. My Linc has been in my family since new. Just now approaching 105,000 miles. Granny kept it really nice. I will definately never sell it. I'm a Chevy man myself but I tell people it's not a Ford...It's a LINCOLN hehe. Rock on Big Jon you make me wanna sell my truck tomorrow and get busy. It's time will come. I like your spokes but I'd have to get some vogue tires wit dem babies. Again the car below is not mine. The guy told me all he hed to do to put 22s on it. What mods did you do on yours? Thanks in advance. Oh and what subs you runnin? Q's? SSDs? Later
  14. I didn't know factory systems were louder than 120 dB which iirc is about how loud a police/ambulance/fire truck sirens and horns are from 10-20 feet away. I don't ever list statistics Those 2 sentences look funny next to each other huh! Audioneon my girlfiends neon handles well so I'm sure yours does too and you are an excellent driver but consider this. Stock system blaring metallica, windows up, AC on, and singing the words to ONE out loud. You could miss an ambulance siren and if you are waiting till its 10-20 feet away haven't you already become a statistic. (Another doofus that didn't get outta the way during a code 3? ) hehe all in good fun.......Please drive safe today! Later bro
  15. I would move to Ocala if I were you hehe......In FLA you can't get a ticket for illegal tint unless the cop has a tint meter showing the pecentage of light that can pass through. I vote that cops who can give tickets should be armed w/ a Term Lab and the law should be something like 110 Db from there measuring point. This would give you a chance to turn it down at least. Someone will get busted when it was the car next to them. Someone will get busted for a stock stereo @ 25'.... (It's Florida come on vacation leave on probation!!!) Now I understand respect at lights, residential, businesses, etc. etc. but what happened to the good ole days of cruising to a FLA beach on the highway with the top or windows down and jammin your favorite dance tune at 2-o-clock in the afternoon? I am from Tampa and have never had a stereo violation. (knocking on paper......since it came from wood) I also was immature and wanting attention and jammed 34 10s in my Daily Driver all day every day. Again NO VIOLATIONS EVER!!! (knocking again........seriously!) A FLA cop WILL bust some kids one day for whatever reason with a stock stereo. Nothing against cops at all, but what happens when a cop, who might have a chip on his shoulder one day for having an argument or potentially a break-up w/ his GFriend or even wifey, sees some kids who may or may not be the same color as him, driving a car he could never afford or his parents could or would have never loaned him like a Jag, Porsche, or Hummer, having fun, driving down the highway, with the windows down, right after the cop left Krispy Kreme only to be even more pissed off cuz his coffee tastes like chit and they were out of his favorite......Bavarian Cream, Chocolate covered Glazed, or just cuz the dammn HOT SIGN wasn't on!!! (If you have ever had a fresh hot Krispy Kreme doughnut you'd understand). Just like a cop can't give you a speeding ticket w/o a calibrated radar gun with papers showing calibration.......I am serious about the cops having Term Labs. Then at least you can get a reading. I agree there has to be some law but this one is ridiculous!!! And again what happens when the cop pulls over the wrong car? Sometimes its hard to tell where Extreme Bass is coming from. What if there are 2 systems in the area? I feel for the guy who had the unfortunate event with the his passing of his father (Myheartfelt condolences to you and your family) and maintain there should be a law but maybe something more reasonable with some type of measured reading isn't really asking to much IMHO. People can learn what is and what isn't acceptable w/o a $800 lesson after fines and impound fees. Anything audible at 25' is just ridiculous and I am stunned at how many people are cool with the way the law is being layed in Sarasota. Someone should pass a law on the rip off at the gas pumps instead and fight a real crime. not the bros with Alpha, Eminence obnoxious midranges playing at the club w/ no residential areas in sight. Just my opinion. Now that I'm grown up I myself am very responsible. Nobody in my town even knows I have a "BIG" stereo. I only take my stereo vehicl to shows where it is okay. My daily today has only the left channel working hehe (not a joke) and honestly I just listen to ESPN radio on it.

    can ssd's handle 2000 watts

    The SSDs will be fine If you run 3 hehe. SSDs can really get movin on as little as 600 watts per, Also the SSD is an excellent sub! I own a BTL and I prefer an SSD over it but I like Quality at INSANE levels. I'd run multiple quality subs (SSD) over a single sub that can take all that power. Unless you want everyone to be amazed you only have 1 sub at the cost of SQ, or if you only have space for one sub go for multiple drivers. Q's would also be an excellent choice. 2 w no options or 1 Havoc will also do the trick.

    Problems with BTL setup

    Ramen Noodles What were we talking about a couple weeks ago? Not firing the sub into the cabin or getting 2 SSds vs 1 BTL? Just wondering glad your impressed!!!
  18. ronrico418

    Screws vs. Brad Nails

    Agree 100% best to use the slowest curing wood glue you can find more time to set then go with the ol porter cable nail gun, I use 16 guage. Love it - If I use wood screws its cuz of a bad cut I need to pull tighter - Thats IT!!!!! and then definately use a coarser screw

    SQ

    you should really quit trying me
  21. ronrico418

    SQ

    A few things: 1) You have NEVER heard a system without any distortion or music ever without "distortions" 2) Staging is part of the response of a system and you can't isolate it as it is intrinsic to its response 3) Stop posting in colors people can't read 4) Your attempt at being cute with analogies just makes you sound even more idiotic 1)You know what distortion I'm talking about (I hope) 2)Staging is part fooling you into having a sound stage where all the music seems to come from the front - including subsonic frequency's emanating from the back (usually). Are you trying to have me explain things to you so you may better understand them??? Just ask 3)I was hoping you were color blind...... Damn! 4)Your attempt at making me sound idiotic is making you sound idiotic~er. 5)I'm tired of all the arguing M5 if you need help with your system just ask me...I don't mind helping you out. You seem like you have some basics down but I am always completely willing to help those I own. M5......I'll take your advice this time and not be cute with an analogy since you apparently have no sense of humor and refuse to laugh at anything. The thing that gets me is if somebody said something in attempted joke I did not find amusing I would probably just forget about it. Since you are obviously obsessed with me I'll instead still attempt to entertain you by displaying my cuteness with facts. By the way thanks M5 cuz no guy has ever called me cute before............... Facetiously is a word in the English dictionary that has all of the vowels in the word appearing in the correct order. Can anyone think of another?

    SQ

    But even in that case, SQ is all about getting the instruments to sound like they actually do in real life. This is why going to concerts is so critical if you're into this sort of thing, I think - not only because of the musical connection and interaction that even the best stereo system can't give you, but also because unless you're actually familiar with the way the instruments sound, trying to judge how a stereo reproduces them is going to be difficult to impossible. SQ to me is about closing my eyes and seeing that drummer swish the brushes...or that muted trumpet player who's sitting next to the bass player, and hearing the resonances in the upright bass that you'd actually hear if you were listening to one in real life. well written Jim SQ to me is simply sound without distortions. What you are explaining here sounds like what I personally would define as sound stage and imaging. I too like to close my eyes when listening to a "SQ" car and if it has that great soundstage and imaging.... I can almost go into a euphoric sleep everytime. Better than any drug. Now if you combined the drug with a "SQ" car I don't know what would happen. YOU may think you've entered a worm hole to another time or place or then again you might just throw up. Say No To Drugs... Employer: Can you pass a drug test? Applicant: Hell yeah! What's on the test? I know everything about drugs! Result: Not Hired!
