    help on box for s10 please

    I've got an s10 too. Sub up port up on the passenger side went crazy for me. Plus I could put my hand over the port. It seemed louder to the ear that way too. I feel it more when the subs are facing my back and port up on passenger side. Hope that helps...

    What enclosure for my Icon?

    with the small box recommendation, would it be better for him to run 12 or 16 in per cubes of opening? I figured the 16" opening will help with the lows?? the downfall would be a longer port, but I'm curious too..

    Which amp for my subs

    The 4000's aren't meant 4 daily but the 3000's and down are. They are great amps!!! I have two of the 3500.1 for a few years now and have never had any problems. They are also ultra efficient. Mine only need a 200 amp fuse for the 2700 watts rms that it puts out. The only negative is that it doesn't have a ssf, but for raw power in a small package, you can't beat it!!!! There was a comparison done between mmats and sundown amps, with mmats just edging it out on an earlier forum. Mmats engineered class D amps and have been in the game for a long time they have amps that are .5 ohm stable, but which ever amp u get, (sd or mmats) theyre going to be BEASTS!!!!!!

    re xxx recone

    I have the newer re xxx that needs a recone and was wondering if I could get it reconed to a 18" or 21" ia death penalty? I'd hate to pay re that much for a recone for only a 12..... if it was a 15 or 18, i would have already done it. thanks for any replies

    RD Alpha v2 15 vs. new RE XXX 15

    Forgot to mention that the reconed XXX I got back from re audio/ Greg/ usampfreak never worked!!!!! I'm just gunna send it into PAP and see what they can do with it..... I would still buy a us amps amp, but subs...... HELL NO

    RD Alpha v2 15 vs. new RE XXX 15

    I wouldn't support either product. Customer service sucks on both companies!!!! I have stated b4 on this forum that I had a 12" XXX reconed and it took months to get back. I have credit at a store that sells re audio, so I bought the NEW XXX 15 that was supposed to be at the ces on Jan 10, I believe.... It's feb 15 and I still haven't received it...... Rd has never answered my phone calls or responded to my emails..... You can buy re audio on ebay for pretty cheap, if you look at the XXX, there are alot of refurbs.... Just like kicker and mtx's which I would never buy again..... Like others said on this forum, get a product from this store that has been proven..... Just state it you want it to get low or just loud since SQ is all preference.....

    battery question?

    FU%^&*G Jay Cee Where in the F were you when I was reading all of this crap info for the last couple of weeks??? LMFAO Thank you very much for informing me and letting me know that I wasted two weeks of my life reading and researching for nothing!!!! HAHAHA Much thanks for almost wasting $$$

    battery question?

    I read on optima's website that said watts/volts=ah so 2000/12=166.67 So I would look for a battery that has somewhere around 150 ah or amp hours. When you are driving your car, it will be at 14.4 volts so 2000/14.4=138.89 Somewhere in the middle should be gud. Its always better to have to much than not enough. Also deep cycle and a high cca (2000 and above) Hope this helps

    10s 12s or 15

    My buddy has 2cubes available in the back/trunk of an old school vette. What would give him the best overall sound out of 4 re rex10's, 2 pg rsdc12's, or a jl audio, or re se 15? All sealed off of an audioque1200.1? He listens to alot of spanish and a lil bit of rap. Big three upgraded and a decent battery under the hood lol I figured it would be the 12's bcuz the 10 wouldn't be able to get low do to the amount of air space, .5 cubes is recommended. And the 12's have more surface area than the 15. Thanks for any advice. budget is around $200 And I guess a ia 187 12's or a 15??

    10s 12s or 15

    the Fi 15" SSD sealed is not recommended..... I'm kinda liking the Sa 12 ported. I know Fi is gud. I bought a 15"Q years ago for my lil cuz that got stolen..... but between the SA12 and Fi ssd 12, which would get louder and handle the aq best??? Ported of course...
  14. slappers

    10s 12s or 15

    I would understand the 4 10's being choked, but the sealed box recommendations is 2cubes for the 15. So I don't understand how the 15 would be choked?? Not trying to argue, just trying to understand I looked at ia's website for the 15 and it also said 1.8 to 2 cubes sealed.. Thanks again

    10s 12s or 15

    no epicenter, but the 1 SA 12 would be louder than the phoenix golds? I know ported gives more output, but the extra driver would cover that right? My buddy bought the aq amp off of our other friend that had it paired with the aq hdc in a 2.5 ported box tuned to 40. How would the SA sub sound compared to the aq hdc? Thanks for the quick response!!!

    2-15" xcons box help

    I believe your asking about multiple ports. I found it easy to use the12volt.com calculator that way I don't have to keep doing all of the calculations On jl audio website, it says to divide the cubic air space by the number of ports, then calculate the port. So a 4cubic foot box with two ports would be 2cubes for each port. 2x16 equals 32 inches of port area each and the length 40inches long and this is for a tuning of 31 Round port with 4inch opening for 2cubes, tune of 31 is 14.7inches long each. 6inch opening is 35.25long each hope this helps

    extended cab s10 box

    I have a 96' chevy s10 extended cab. The width is 46 inches the height is 20+ to the bottom of the window seal and the depth can go as far as you want it to. the12volt.com is a great site where you can use their calculator to get the cubic airspace. If you need more than the number you entered, you can always make the box taller or add more depth. Try it yourself first, and if you can't do it, then pay someone else. Audioque recommends subs up, port up. DD's website says sub forward, ports to the side. Either or will have great results. Just make sure you account for wood thickness when using the calculator You should easily be able to get 6cubes net....

    new subs??

    No. I bought the XXX from them and a custom box. The sub stopped working, so I paid to have it fixed. Since it took a long time to get it back, I've built a couple of enclosures since then for friends. The owner said the box was built wrong... Since I know how to build a box now, he gave me store credit for the box. He said I would be impressed with an 18"Mx. He was ordering it when he found out that new products were coming out. Thats y I wanted to know what subs were coming out..... Every time I called and went in to the shop, the owner would call usampfreak/greg, and greg would say that it still wasn't ready... Not sure how he threw u under the box, if so, my bad.... Back to new products!!! So whats all of the info????

    new subs??

    I still have credit at a car audio store that sells re audio, and when I asked if my 18" mx came in yet, the store owner said that they stop making the MX bcuz there are new products coming out!!!!! Is this true???????????? Didn't see anything new on the website, but it usually takes a while LOL

    new subs??

    How about you go f*&k urself!! j/k I'm not a big fan of Greg at RE.... I'm sure he's a nice person if I was to meet him, but its sad how everyone was on RE's JOCK, and now..... Its all about sundown, ia, ssa, etc... Greg takes way too long to do recones, he was rude to the store owner that was trying to get updates for me on my XXX which took hella months to get back!!! I'm just a fan of car audio and wanted to know if any1 knew about the new products.... I've done a couple of installs for coworkers and friends and love how impressed they are from companies they've never heard of.... I just like to make sure that they have the best that $ can buy, but also want to make sure that my system beats them in everyway

    RE MX'S or JL 12's

    First was my mistake of a clipped signal. Second time, the shop did the whole installation, box, wires, and set it with a multimeter, and it lasted 2 or 3 months..... don't want to get into a re audio is better argument!!!! Just throwing out some advise from personal experience.....
  22. slappers

    RE MX'S or JL 12's

    HAHA I didn't read the enitre response about the type of music.... but I would go with XCON, flatlyne/death row, etc.... In the right box, they all can get loud while sounding good.... I would go xcon!!!! want to try 1 so bad!!!!!! Flatlyne is my #2 pick

    RE MX'S or JL 12's

    GOALS are very important! One of the car audio shops that I go to sells JL and RE audio products... He rated subs in this order XXX, w7, MX. The XXX dominated the lows, the w7 played a wider band width(with authority), and the mx.... I wouldn't like it.... If you're doing your own install, get jl over re! JL can take customer abuse more than the re can. I know cuz i went through a xxx in a couple of months where my jl w7 are still going strong from 2003 Some ppl will say that jl charges too much if you mess it up which is true, but RE charged me $250 for the XXX and it took 4 months to get it back!!! Way tooooo long!!!! So goals would be SQ, Spl, or a mixture of both.... If you take some time, you should be able to find something on every sub this site has to offer!!!! Between a XXX and an XCON, I'd be more willing to bet on the XCON:-) Also, its all in the install. direction sub is facing, sealed/ported, tuning freq, etc... to many factors.... Have fun researching!!!! I learn something new everyday!!!!!

    Phoenix Gold RSD c104

    That was a very good point!!! They were selling the sub, but had also stated that in a subwoofer review, the jl audio w6 was rated #8, the phoenix gold rsdc was rated # 4, and the critical mass ul12 was rated at #1, but with the price tag of $2000. PG has always been a good company, they could be cheaper because nobody is buying their products.... Amazon had the crazy sale on their rsd subs a while back and those got pretty good reviews. The rsdc have a higher rms rating, taller surround and etc.. I know companys in the bay area stopped selling PG products because they would take too long to ship(if I remember) and it took forever for new products to come out. They never said they weren't a good/great company though. I think you should buy them and post a review... A $200 hit is nothing in which case I don't think u r going to lose.... I've spent close 2 10,000 dollars on car audio so 200 is nothing lol Started with mtx 8000subs, audiobahn hc2300 amp, soundstream tarantula 2000 watt monoblock amp, jl audio 1000/1, 10w7's, re audio xxx, mmats 3500.1 amps(2), audioque hdc12 and 1200 amo, pap wmd, focal krx2.... trying to save money for an xcon, so I can do a mass review and give an honest review. Won't be too soon, but it will come:-) Anyway, but the PG subs now.. do it...dooo it lol

    Phoenix Gold RSD c104

    I forgot the company's name, but I had asked about the 12rsdc, and this is what they told me.... these woofers compair more to the w7 or image dynamics idmax woofers they take 1 to 1.25 cubic foot sealed and 1.25 to 1.75 cubic feet ported i have a sheet from car audio magazine that rated these woofers #4 out of 25 brands of woofers the jl w6 was #8 i can forward you this info if you would like the critical mass UL-12 was #1 but also comes with a healthy price of $1800.00 per woofer Just thought that this would help a lil bit. They do look pretty good. 4 of these would be lovely!!!!
