Looking to get my first home theater system. I think I'd like to run a 5.1, I really have no experience in this field. All my previous focus has been on cast audio. I'd like some serious bass and clarity on the mids and highs. My house is well insulated and a good distance from my neighbors, town of 3000.... I'm in no rush to get the equipment, so I can stack up some coin to get it. I'd like to run two 15s or 18s for bass but I'm looking for reasons why I would or wouldn't like such. Are low power car sib audio equiptment more econimalical? I enjoy primarily rap but do listen to a lot of alt rock, nothing metal or anything in that direction. As for overall budget I'd say 500-1000 bones... I want quality that'll satisfy my novice needs for a few years...

Could I build two different sub boxes, one tuned for each then just plug whichever ever one in for its specific purpose then just adjust the subsonic filter? His set up does pretty well with movies as well but that's subjective and I'm def a noob so.

Honestly no idea... Looking for advice plain and simple. I'll build the boxes if that's the best option but if preloaded equipment is ample that's super cool. I want it to be a loud surround system for movies with the ability to kill it on music, I'm sure I'll use it for music more, I enjoy jamming; loud as f*ck a lot lol. I'll post up my living room layout/ 1st floor layout if necessary tomorrow. My dad has a denon receiver(idk how many channels or watts) pushing two yahama towers that consist of 2-6 1/2" components, a large tweeter and a 15 in each each with a few 6 1/2, maybe 5 1/4 satellites around the his living room and its f'n amazing. Loud, clear, and flexes the entire house; you can't sit a drink on the coffee tables while its going at it lol. His living room is huge tho like 13-15x20ish+....mine is half the size, and he's been setting it up/upgrading for some time.

Car audio* sub*... Sorry for the lack of good proof reading lol

SDS sells b-stock tiles cheap and work great

Finished... Thanks lithium

Just finishing my first recone, changed my 12" icon to an 18. Everything is done except soldering the leads... They're not sandwiched leads; but the loose leads with the pad on the cone to prevent tinsel slap. The tinsel leads seem really long. How much slack should I leave?

I took the terminal off the 12" frame

I over cranked down the little nut and snapped the stud. Only on one tho....I could try to get the set off the 12" basket. Or could I epoxy that one on? But if I want to go ahead with direct leads what's my best route on soldering? Torch or solder gun?

I f'd the terminals up, I'm going to attempt direct leads,well my dad is going to. I have sky high 8 gauge. How long should I make them and still use the 60/40 lead solder?

Completely loose, not stitched to the spider. Its not in front of me at the moment but I believe it comes directly off the bottom of the cone/ top of the former if my terminology is correct.

What's the best solder I should use?

Almost a year old thread bud....probably better off pm'ing him as I doubt he keeps checking it. Probably an unrealistic inquiry

SSA Icon vs Fi SSD (12s) Classic drill slip on the ssd; amazing goop still holding strong Old school orion hcca with tc-9 motor. The rubber boot off its magnet looks good on my icon lol

Greatly appreciate that, thank you.

I ran it sealed in my wife's car bc of space constraints.I originally ran it ported in my car; did well in both set-ups. Ported; it obviously killed the SPL in comparison. It is regular coil, I did not select high QTS. This is the model the sold before the current one, when they were still 800 rms iirc. I don't recall selecting sandwiched leads but it has been 2ish years I've had the set. This one has spent a lot of time in my closet...

http://s1174.photobucket.com/user/wackzirth88/library/?view=recent&page=1 Just got done. High QTS is an additional option, an extra, something that cost and differentiates it from a stock/standard ssd. It is a standard stock ssd, no extras including high QTS. Are you interested in buying or just giving free bumps?

Stock to the bone sir... Used its mate sealed and it did just fine tho

Bump!

Bassink- it is stock copper coil with no extras. My wife's runs great off a 1000 watt RMS amp
