Of all the car audio boards ive checked out, this one is by far the best. Why?? Becasue the people are actually nice and professional about things. Rarely do people on here resort to personal asaults, unlike some other forums *cough* sounddomain *cough* For example, on sounddoamin I expressed my opinion on audiobahn. People were saying how much they rocked, and how they were made by Digital Designs. I made a post about the downsides of audiobahn, and people proceeded to jump down my throat. I was told i was a "n00b" (yes with zeros instead of O's) and I was also told to "stfu". So I responded with this.
Nobody has yet proved to me that immortals are made by DD. As far as handling the their RMS, they might for awhile. But before long, espeically if you plan on competeting and playing at high volumes regularly, they will blow, thats audiobhan for ya. I personally wouldnt put audiobhan anything in my car unless I got it for free. But its your money, so spend it how you like. As for people calling me a newb or "noob" or "n00b" or whatever stupid spelling you use, GROW UP!! This isnt a everquest game, im only 17 and I act more grown up then a lot of people on this forum
Then someone wrote this back:
when competing at a high level EVERYONE smokes subs at some point or another..Ive seen with
95/9900s, Brahmas, MTs,TRFs, SoloX, L7s, Power Hx2's, APXS, Death Penalties, CSX, SSX have all been blown to hell (folded/shredded cones, coils shot through dustcaps,frozen coils etc)
and as far as handling their power for daily usage, theres a customer of mine thats running a VR2000d PER sub and it has been going strong for over 6months so get a clue and stop talking out of your ass
ps STFU n00b
I was really dissapointed with the lack of professionalism, and overall rudeness of the site. I dont think I will be frequenting those boards to much anymore.

That's funny dude !! Personally I have never seen or heard a sub blow up because of too much power going to it. Not in a real world system* that is. I'm not saying that it'snot possible, but in all my years of installing, I've seen and heard many subs clip from not having enough power going to them and people inadvertently think that the amp blew it up. * Definition of real world system : A system that is used under normal listening environment ( without the use of hear protection ) in conjunction with component speakers. ------------- Jeff

I agree with you pimp. Who needs another forum anyway? I can find out anything I need to know right here on the12volt. People get nowhere by insulting others, and I have yet to meet anybody that knows everything.

Whoever made this post hit the nail on the head..the12volt.com has some of the most knowlegable installers out there. Everyone on here likes to give help when others needed. Its like one big internet install bay.

I just went to sound domain and tracked down that thread. Thats a joke man. I read alot of stuff on there while looking for it and I am not even gonna waste my time joining. If I wanna get into a name calling fight like a school yard bully, I'll pick on Forbidden :)

A few of the reasons I find this forum to be the best of them all: Organized, easy-to-read typeface...white background with black letters...low emphasis on avitars and the like...gold stars(!)...post count...
These points make it easy to use the forum and to tell rather quickly if an answering post might have some legitimacy. A clean list of help files along the left margin. A glance through those links tells the new reader that this is a place for serious inquiries and likely professional help. A steady stream of supportive posters who understand the protocol of the forum and, along with great administrators and moderators, help to keep control of the unruly. This forum could quickly become like the others without this type of support. Good system of control over new posters using an expanding benefits system. When I get to Auex's status I'll be able to do anything I want! Able to post photos in the threads, and with the smart limitation of bytes allowed. The user has to be at least bright enough to figure out how to reduce his photos so they'll be accepted. Organized into areas of expertise or interest (car audio, relays, etc.) instead of a mishmash of everything all together. Not overly intellectualized...which can be just as annoying as a high school-level free-for-all. Here, you can get a little of both worlds, but in general everybody "keeps it real". And now......Spell Checker. But, ima confuse.....do ya tink itll bee use?

steve could have broken that up into 3 seperate posts.
Iam greatful that while i registered on sounddomain, forbidden got hold of me, and pointed me to 2 other forums. caraudio-somethingorother.something and the12volt.com
right away i found this board to be full of excelent information and i've been coming back since (and i havent even been here long). i guess i owe forbidden one, at least buy a deck from the guy when im in the market to buy another.
a thanks to him for showing me this place
and a thanks to every person that's helped me along the way, things would have gone a lot worse if it wasnt for the input given by the lot of you.
@ pimp, i think if you goto sounddomain with any sort of opinion about any sub, yur lookin for a flame war. im glad i never voiced my opinions (if i did i forgot), i saw some nasty stuff by so-called professionals; in reality i believe them to be excessively spoiled people with too much ego to be constructive in anything they say or do on that board. i've been dealing with a person i met through that board, and since august i've been waiting for a subwoofer to be sent to me (eclipse 10"), its very stressing and the money i put to that sub could really help me out around this time of year, to some degree i would love to boycot sounddomain from the internet, but im the one at fault for trusting someone like this. but lessons be learned, and a lesson i learned indeed. sometimes the first option should not be your only option. had i known of this place before hand, i probably would have inquired about anyone selling one here first.
shucks, it makes me feel bad to not know where the sub is -_-.

I notice here the people actually tell you who they work for, and most use the stuff they recommend, sound domain is linked to cardomain which is kinda cars for dummies type thing, it's where you go to start then get to the real world

Another thing that shocked me about sounddomain is the amount of money the people spend on car audio stuff. Especially considering how young many of these people are. many of the people on sounddomain seem to be around my age (17), but their systems are crazy, thousands of dollars worth of stuff these kids have. Its possible some of them are lying about what they have, but the ones that arent i would really like to know where they get the money from.
