I’ve recently picked up a 2021 VW Arteon SEL-P RLine with the Harmon Kardon in it. Low end lacks a lot, so I’m looking for a way to integrate a better sub setup. Again, great work!

Just went through this whole build for ideas… awesome work man!

Thanks denim!

Home? Well, not a big home theater guy, and honestly, been out of audio for a while. M5 might be a better person to ask. That said, with 2 of them, and enough power, larger, sealed boxes would be my choice. Highlight the lows of the music you listen to, keep it clean and responsive.

One topic, one thread...merged. Welcome to SSA, and as you can tell, you'll get plenty of responses, quickly. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee:headbang:

Almost 10 years LEO now, and fixing to up my activity as I'm moving to a larger department, pending the remaining psych interview (just completed a 900 question written interview) and medical exam. Passed the physical abilities exam. New department is a Department of Public Safety , so I will get cross trained in firefighting. Took the entire physical abilities test in full turn out gear, except 1 mile run. Heart rate never got above 150, so I know the lifting/running is working. Now to lose this stubborn ass spare tire.

True that!! Lmao, jamming to stuff we wouldn't even consider today.... Speaking of...might be time for a Funky Pup mention....lol

Except for planned rest days, I don't know what to do with myself if I don't lift. And honestly, running everyday I lift has ingrained that into the routine. Although I cripe, I look forward to it. Being an asthmatic, I know every minute running is only helping me out! Not too mention when the bad guys are confused as fuck that the old guy is still on their heels, lol....

As I sit and think about it, he had a Spark-o-Matic power booster thing, 3-ways in the front, 6x9's in boxes in the trunk and some small speakers on the rear deck. Those had some weird slide adjustable volume control thing. But that little car beat pretty good.

Man, I remember Sunshine Audio, Pueblo, CO, did a Astro van with 4 15's. Left front and first row rear seats in it. Sat in the rear at the State Fair, God I was in heaven!! Was Kicker gear. Just had to have it. Friend of mine had a little two door Toyota, Blauphunk (spell?) head unit, and are you sitting down? Spark-o-Matic for speakers/subs! It was actually pretty loud and musical. Well, by 1986 or so, standards,,,,lol

It's definitely hard to stay motivated to run. Lifting is easy, but running?

Got arms and run in last night. Run definitely getting easier...which is a good thing. Trying to change departments, involves some running for the physical testing.

This afternoon will be my first day back in 1.5 weeks, flu + asthma = severe asskicking! Just prior, was lifting/running 2 days, rest, 2 days, rest 2. I stretch and run for 20 minutes just before lifting. I've still got gut to lose and other gains to make..lol. At 46, I'm in better shape then my 20's, save cardio. Also, I'm 50pds heavier, so only grabbing the rim now...lol.

Just over three years ago, my family went through the same thing. I know your pain, and I, along with my family, wish you and yours strength and peace during this tough time. Grandpa was the center of our family, and it's been quiet without him. He was my son's best friend. I wish you all well, and my your grandfather rest in peace. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (for even though this is a sad time, we must remember, and rejoice, in the good times.)

Very nice guys!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Wow, talk about a car audio loss! Mike set the bar so high in terms of customer service, very few, SSA being one of the few, will ever get close. Mike, you will be missed as much as your stellar products, if not more so. Was it really 7 years ago I took a chance on a relatively unknown company called SoundSplinter and rolled the dice on the rl-p 12 for the wife's car? A subwoofer I still own to this day. A subwoofer, that coupled with Mike's customer service absolutely won me over. Sealed, ported, didn't matter, it produced. Then I got the first rl-i8, signed by the man himself, available for the public. A sub I still own, and use in a small, .17ft^3 net sealed box on my gaming tv/stereo set up. Everyone freaks out when they hear it, and realize it's just an 8. It, like Mike, is just that badass! Mike, I can't believe this has happened to such a great guy. I hope you get the financial side figured out, and like the other's have said before, I hope you find a way to get back into the business! We, and the business as a whole, will miss ya man! Stay in touch, my email hasn't changed! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

this is the thread for the hoopties. those lame ass, stupid installes, paint, body kits or just plain ragged out rides. find em and post em and we all get to laugh at them!!! i'll start off with the sprite mobile!! the outside.. and the inside..... luckily all we did was clean up the h/u install and put in a remore keyless/alarm. notice the speakers in the front door? yep, one screw holding them in. and the astroturf carpet?? one thing i didn't get was the fact that on the inside rear galss you could see the way they wrapped the vinyl..and that car actually took second at a local car show!! the car that won?? a bone stock 07 escalade on 28's.... falking idiots..lol.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

In a world where the biggest wheel seems to always win, regardless of how practical it is, I'm sure this woofer will deliver. Like Tirefryr mentioned, it's all about marketing, and guess what this thread is doing? Yep, marketing that sub. It's being talked about, which means Cadence is being talked about, which means this thread will show up on a search engine somewhere, and the cycle will continue. So, how is that sub not working? Sure looks like it's delivering to me, lol, albeit in a way most of you aren't used to talking about. Even Clarion had a huge sub at one time, and it was installed on a boat. Who knows? Maybe some rapper with a 'burban on 30's will want a 32" sub?? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I happen to have a set of Kicker RMB8s, NOS, just sitting on my office floor in box looking for a home.

Well, I was going to say something. Yet, I have nothing to say. Perfect for the IHoP, eh? Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
