Now that Cardomain.com and Sounddomain.com are gone I find myself missing some of the features of that page. Not sure if this page has the capacity and server space to do so....but

What if you set this forum website up similar. What I mean by that is make it to where people have their own page dedicated to their car. I don't mean like the reg build log page. 

I mean like a Database with search for Year, Make, Model.....but then add like model, type, and brand of car audio....etc

So like let's say someone wants to search everyone in the community that runs a sundown sav2 subwoofer they can. OR if someone wants to look up all peoples builds in a 1992 Chevy Suburban....they can. 



 

the only way to explain Steve & RD .....Knock off atomic equipment....<stealing other peoples designs and changing one thing and calling it his design>bad business pratices all over the net and  to his local customers .....I had a phone conversation with him ....it was pretty funny to say the least ....

I have never dealt with them, but it was an interesting read :)

Sorry so long. Thought this would be a good share. Email received from XS Power:

Thanks for contacting us regarding the proper way to charge sealed lead acid (AGM) type batteries like the ones we produce.  Unlike conventional lead acid batteries, AGM batteries are completely sealed, meaning that all of the gas and electrolyte is safely stored inside the battery.  In order to keep AGM batteries in good health, and to maximize their performance and life expectancy, it is important to properly charge and maintain them.
  Leaving a battery (conventional or sealed) in a low state of charge over a long period of time is bad for the battery because it allows the electrolyte the opportunity to crystalize, or dry out directly on the surface of the lead plates of the battery.  Once this material (lead sulfate) is produced, the battery loses its capacity and performance, and the charge acceptance of the battery is greatly reduced.    
  More importantly is making sure that when the battery is being recharged, either in a vehicle, or with a battery charger, that the charging voltage is not too high, relative to the ambient temperature around the battery.  On a daily basis, when customers ask us what voltage to charge their battery, our standard response is 14.4V, but as you can see in the illustration below, the optimal charging voltage really depends on how and where the battery is being used.  For installations where the temp exceeds the limits of our chart, we recommend XS Power PN 500, which is our heat reflecting wrap that helps reflect some of the heat in high temp applications.      
    For your alternator customers who chose to disregard our charging voltage recommendations, it is likely they will start to experience problems within the first year of ownership of their AGM battery, and none of the AGM battery companies offer warranty against improper charging, so it would be an expensive lesson to learn if they chose to charge outside of the factory recommendations.   
    If you have any questions, or would like any further info, please do not hesitate to let us know!

(Here is our info on how to properly hook up an XS Power https://www.iraggialternator.com/xs-power-vcm-hook-up)

Thanks for posting! This is great!

This is something similar to what I would love to offer.  In the mean time, this is a wild piece and fairly priced overall.

Upgraded to latest IPB 4.3.6

Some recent photos at Slamology 2017 when we debuted the SSA IC150.4 and SSA IC2200.1 amplifiers.  If you are wondering why Scottie Johnson of XS Power is holding the monoblock, that is because there is XS Flex OFC wire inside (see bright blue contrast to red board).

and another upgrade....

I just updated the forum. We are now updated to v4.

Our Class AB 4 channel featuring a 2 way active capable pre amp section. 150 watts rms x 4 channels. Japanese Sanken outputs for audiophile grade sound quality.
 
 

One man show over here huh. Cant get here to much cause my phone doesn't like this site, gives me unsafe site error and boots me.

throw me an offer and ill prolly take it.

Yesss thank uu

I want to run 8 Sundown neo-pro 10 inch mids 8 ohm each I want to use Lanzar Opti 500 x 2 but do not know how to wire it all I want it down to two ohm because Opti amp will put out the 750 X 2 that will be perfect

Are you wanting to run 4 per channel?
If so, do each channel like this:

Thank you for the welcome Aaron.
I'll be posting up all our amplifier and loudspeaker specifications along with the great pictures Mark took.

Congrats LP and Blues Car Audio!

forum back up and running, on new kick ass server

After down time almost weekly as of late from our existing host who we've been with for years and years, in fact, I can't remember how long it's been so long, we have finally given up on them and changed to a new host.
Our new dedicated box has 4 times the RAM, and twice the processor, also an SSD hard drive, so site load time and performance should be very notifiable.
The move is all done, and SSA is now on the new dedicated server. The other forums are also, but I have to work out some php handler issues before they will be working properly. In the mean time, please enjoy our new forum, on a brand new dedicated server with our new host.
I hope you are all as excited as Aaron and I are. It's been a long time in the making.

Thanks Aaron
