WoW! One bad occasion and one hard time doesn't mean you should slam a person or company for the hard work they do. I've had nothing but smooth sailing with SSA...... To sit and rant and rave about disrespect is one thing, only if it's actually deserved. With the attitude I've just seen on here I wouldn't want the business anyway. You can please all the people some of the time, and please some people all of the time. Things happen in the REAL world that are just plain out of control. It's just the way things work...... Not knowing all of the circumstances, in my opinion, there's been some ass shown on the customer's side.... Good things come to those who wait! Like Denim said, you wouldn't want some incompetent person doing the work of a skilled and trained person, you wouldn't want some cheap parts being slapped on just to get you your sub a few days faster only to have it sent back again for a second time....... I'm not bashing you donauaj, it's just there's a way to make a complaint, and you went about it the wrong way. Don't make accusations that you yourself are not 100% sure they are true. There are a lot of variables that can and often do happen when you have something serviced that is made by hand of mankind and not by a machine. I give SSA a 9 out of 10 score, because there's always room for improvement. Keep up the great work guys!

Twistin' and tweeking for a DB or two!! Very informative on the experiments!

I used to deal with shipping on a daily basis... It kinda goes back and forth between the two companies though. "X" carrier will blame the shipper for insufficient packaging and the shipper blames the carrier for rough handling.... Check contents before signing. (if you have the opportunity) That way if it's damaged you can refuse the package and start a claim right then and there. My UPS man hates me for it but I rarely get screwed. I keep thinking of the part of the movie Pet Detective where Jim Carey is the UPS guy kicking the crap out of a box all the way through the building...

O.K. then, if you really want to, let's get REAL..... It's best to keep one's mouth shut and have others think you're ignorant, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt..... Do some research before passing any judgment man. Thumpper has been building custom enclosures for many years. Having customers that use his enclosures in a wide variety of applications ranging from daily driver to serious competitors, there are countless positive reviews as well as trophies that speak FOR him. If you don't understand something fully, how can you make any judgment on true performance? P.S. Trevor, sorry for your loss. Hope you and the family are doing well considering the loss. Best wishes.

Hit the lotto! LOL Just think of something a lot of people have a need for, then try to fill it. Scoop dog crap, detail cars...... If you REALLY want money and need it, you'll find a way. Just keep it legal or you'll have a lot of time to think about how you F'd up!

LMAO Nice job again Mr. Komant!

Waaaaaayyyyyyyy better that the Pile POS! Congrats on the purchase, now you have some work ahead of ya!

High power? Do you mean anything over 1k rms or ?

Where at in Ohio? I'm 10 minutes from Cincinnati.

Snakes on a Plane!!!! -crapfest Any freakin' musical........Who the hell sings to each other on a daily basis? God I hate musicals! Snow Dogs! sucks just like most Disney movies now adays... Oh and what was the name of the movie where a couple was left at sea by their charter boat? The whole movie was two terrible actors bobbing up and down in the ocean for two hours!

All I found was there's a lot of people with my name...... Not the same middle name but I range from a sports athlete, motivational public speaker, student at Iowa State, and an average guy...(-oh the last one, that's me)LOL

Another Buckeye! Welcome to the site!

Very Nice!

It's like watching a modern day sculptor creating another masterpiece!

Clockwork Orange.......It was like a really horrible acid trip that wouldn't ever end!!! Half way through I realized I could turn it off and quickly did....terrible is an understatement.........

Son of a b-----! Now I'm really hooked on SSA subs Could this be a possible re-cone option for us DieHards?

Never really left, just doing a lot of reading and checking out pics.

One of the best articles I've read on here to date! Very nice write up from the Staff. I just wanted to say good job guys! Looking forward to more quality information like this!

I have a few tricks up my sleeve for this year! I just finished my new enclosure design. It'll be a shelf with an added "hood" to focus the sound into the front cab instead of swelling up the truck cap with wasted energy. Still using my SSA Icon D1 15's. All the gear is pretty much the same except for a few new items. As soon as Uncle Sam deposits my refund check, it's on!!!!! Oh, and I promise many install pics, install video, and some quality woofer porn!

After saving for dang near 3 years, I finally get to do my install. Here's a list of the toys: 2 - 15" Icon D1 1 - R/F T15001bd 4 - Infinity Ref. 6x9's 1 - R/F T400-4 1 - JVC KDSH1000 H/U 1 - 260 amp H/O Iraggi Alternator 1 - Stinger SP1000 Battery (under the hood) 1 - Stinger SP1700 Battery (in the rear) 3 - Stinger 12ft.

(did that last year) Over 200sq.ft. of dampening mat (3 different companies ) I have everything except the Icon's....UPS man brings them Thursday!! Here's some pics of the gear! For under the hood. Secondary for the rear. 1/0ga. power, 8ga. sub wire, 12ga. speaker wire. Iraggi 260 amp H/O alt. Most of the terminals and distributions..(shock chrome) Infinity Ref. 6x9's T400-4 powering the 6x9's T15001bd powering the Icons The H/U Stinger RCA (3 pair) Most of the rear covered in soundmat...

I never pick on you, just on what you type. Stop giving advice on what you know nothing about and it won't get called out. You were really distracting the purpose of the thread with false info. My answer was extra exuberant since all the misinformation is really frustrating to me and it happened on a night where there was a ton of it. It wasn't meant to be personal other than hopefully strong enough so you learn to not "help" when you shouldn't. Polyfill will make the driver "think"it is in a larger enclosure. Ok.... 1) I actually have messed with polyfill in the past.... 2) Produced poor results in a vented enclosure, for me anyways..... 3) I was not distracting from anything having to do with this thread.. 4) I've personally watched you bash on a ton of people on this forum, myself included...... 5) I took your comment personally, how else was I supposed to? (read what the hell you typed!) 6) I am far more intelligent about mobile audio than you make me out to be.... 7) Stop trying to "call people out" with your wording you make yourself sound like a conceited jackass! Correcting a person is one thing, calling them names and questioning intelligence is belittling... 8) You've really pissed me off with your comments to me as well as other fellow forum members. 9) Mellow out man! We are all here to learn and have a good time sharing ideas! 10) This will be my last time I address this issue unless you keep pushing it.... I'm done, end of discussion...... Shizzzon: Keep up the great work on your system, I've enjoyed every minute of it! As for flared porting, Run the cuts about 5/8"-11/16" deep on the panels. On most of the radius I've done I've used anywhere from 10-16 spaced cuts. Keep the cuts about 3/8" apart from each other. It's very important to keep the saw straight to prevent a wide spot in one of the kerfs, if the spacing isn't dang near perfect when you form the radius the piece may split. It also helps to run a small 3"-4" strip with the kerf cuts to use as a gauge when plotting out the measurements for the location of the kerf. This will also help to decide how many cuts are needed to for the actual radius.(unless you like doing the math) Before the actual cuts are made it helps to drill 1/4" holes 1/2" deep on the plotted lines. Stagger the holes on the line so they don't touch. (I usually space them about 3"-5" all the way down each line) This will aid in the poly resin (F/G) seeping all the way down into the cuts after the radius is formed. The holes allow any air bubbles that may be trapped, to rise to the surface. (I credit Thumpper for this trick) Like everything practice makes perfect... Hope you guys found this helpfull!

Sorry, I was trying to learn and participate but........ I really want to know the outcome of shizzzon's theory. Video of the different attempts would be cool.
