How do you test the voice coils of a sub with a dmm might be gettin some used ones need to test

www.woot.com Picked one up!

Hello fellow audio enthusiest. How have you been? Just poppin in to say I will be poppin in alot more. Got alot of builds to post up and get some ideas for 2 of my personal rides I am attempting to outfit at the same time. I doubt it will happen like that, but I will try. Soooooooooo, whats new?

I finally got around to actually designing a ported box for 1 12" Memphis PR. I played around on reaudio.com playing with numbers and made a box to my specs. And FWIW, you can download the caculator to you computer, by going to the parent directory... http://reaudio.com/speaker_box/ Here is what I have now... The person I'm making it for listens to mostly rap and hip-hop. What should the box be tuned to? Memphis's specs 2.00 / 45 / 12.5 x 2 x 19. Any help would be greatly apprecitated

Hello guys, just to let you know some scores with SSA subs this week end. A friend of mine did 145.2 dbs at 44 Hz IIRC, with 2 Xcon 15" on 4 saz1000 amps. It was his first time metering on a Termlab. Sensor on the windshield, on the right side. He was very pleased with that score, for a non spl setup. His box is 4 ft3 per sub, tuned to 30 Hz. Another one did 140.1 with an SSA Icon 15" in a 3.5 ft3 box tuned to 32 Hz.. The amp was a Digital Design M1 (I think so). The spl record for the week end is 150.something. But with a "pure" spl setup : wall, no mids&highs ! I don't know what subs and what amps were playing. I'll try to meter my car soon. I know a guy with a Te…

Borrowed a camera, video is good and the audio distortion is cuz this song is actually loud in this setup, not cuz the camera distorts quiet whispers

ok so i've went thru 3 box designs and im just not happy. sub- rf power hx2 15 dual 2 amp- saz1500 @1 ohm gain bout half way h/u- pioneer deh-680mp stock electrical for now 76' caprice so i wanna get the most outta my sub as i can in the trunk. i mean loudest, movin air, flexing shit (1&2 were in backseat) first box was 4cu ft @30...too low 2nd was same box retuned to 40hz....to high 3rd little over 4cu @ 33hzin trunk....great freq response i mean its louder then most people i pull up next to. but i think the sub can do more what really pisses me off is my uncle has my kicker l7 8" on a 4ch usamp cant remember what model. like 900w rms is what he said i think . but i…

my question is these 15" juggernauts i came across are 1500 rms. i know these are competition speakers and they can handle alot so i was wondering if anybody knows or have seen what kind of amps or power they have pushed them, and how much wattage is needed for them to sound good? they are 1.4 ohm speakers so i dont know if it would be better to go with an 1ohm or 2ohm amp or amps?

What's up all, Here's my situation that's kind of annoying. Randomly as Im driving listening to my system which consists of: Head.: Pioneer 7800MP Front: CDT HD-62/DRT26s/EX-560i F.Amp: Arc Audio 2100 CXL Subw.: Ascendant Audio 10" Assassin S.Amp: US Amps XT-800.2 My highs will just cutout. However, they'll come back on if I turn the volume up. The arc 2100 was bought used from ebay, and im thinking that's my culprit. Not too sure. What do you think?

(literally a browser window) So I was looking at amps as I always do... I just love fcking looking at them.... pricing out what I like and then starting all over again... Recently went to woofersetc and found this company 'Wet Sounds' The pricing is around the same ball park of ZED Audio... These are "marine" products apparently but they look pretty nice. Anyone ever heard of them before? They pretty much make everything.. A $700 subwoofer is available too... GEEZ!!!

hey im new her as well as to making my own boxes. kinda having problems i have a pioneer premier ts-w3001d4 and i want to make a 1.2cu ft vented box. can someone help me out here im so damn lost its not even funny. i want to make it out of 5/8 mdf as well can someone help me please?

A little fun with my new recones. Thier strapped at 2ohms and drink up everything I got. Good sign. :bigclap:

Which type is the best to use when soldering ring terminals and etc.

i used to know one of these, and after i sold it.. a few people here said thay would have bought it.... well i have the chance to get another one... does anyone have an idea how how many watts at its lowest ohm load... and an idea of what that load maybe

basically, i've had a major drop in bass in my car. i have 2 fi BLs and 2 kicker 1000w amps. initially, i had trouble with my iPod cable(dock to aux cord , the 7$ one from ebay) so i bought a new one. well now all of a sudden, my cds have also lost the quality. the stock speakers in the door hit harder as of right now. when i turn the knob all the way and put the volume up, i finally get what i should be getting at about 1/4 turned. i looked at the amps thinking 1 of them was dead and they both were fine. i dont really know much about wiring but will probably read up on it 2morrow since i will have some free time to look at it, but this is what basically happens http://pi…

I've been pondering this for a while.... Should I sell the RL-p 12" and pick up 4 RL-i 8's instead and run the amp at 2 ohms, giving each 8 ~250W? Thoughts?

I bought two amps yesterday the first one is a memphis pr 16-1x1000 and the other is a apk2500. I'm just really stuck on what subs to get for each one. I may re-sale one I just want a really loud system please help

so im looking at some two way 6.5" component systems If im only doing front stage, i still need a four channel amp, right? 2 channels for the two 6.5's, and 2 for the tweets? i just want to make sure because i'm trying to take advantage of the amps on db-r before they are gone.... thanks!

So I've bought several CDs over the past 18 months or so and can't figure out what the damn problem is. I have a 5 or so year old Sony CD player that I use until I get my stereo install done, and it won't play almost any of my newer purchases. It acts like the laser can't properly pick up the tracks. It spends about 30 seconds glitching out making odd noises while the laser tries to lock onto the track, then errors out. Normally I'd tack it up to the tracking mechanism or laser pickup going out, but I can toss any one of my older CDs in and it works just fine. It's only the newer CDs that it has problems with. Sometimes if I mess with it for 10-15 minutes either by…

Alright considering pickin up another sundown 3000, and it got me thinking of bigger subs. Anyways, how does subs up port back work in a trunk car? I have 2 15s now, and considering 2 18s, but the subs would have to be facing up for this to work.

Hey didn't someone say they were gonna build one and let us know how it went. Inquiring Minds Want To Know?

I'm really uncomfortable with this question as I dont want to feel needy. But I think a while back I seen someone say that had another member build them a box. Not sure though. But if that person did build a box I was wanting to know how much they would charge for box I need and what would be the Pickup/Shipping terms. Thanks In Advance ~MadroX *Edit* Im pretty sure I posted this in the wrong Area...... My Bad

ok so my first issue is that i have found a usa company that builts box, for these trucks behind the seat, im going with 8s on this build.... so the options are 3 8s sealed or 2 8s ported im leaning to sealed as he listens to country ,. the issue i am having is finding out how much space is left between the back of the seat and the box.. so i can make sure the subs wont hit... im looking at the sundown SD 8s or the sundown E8v-2 if there is not much space left./ has anyone done an install on a crewcab 2008-2013?

So yeah..I just ordered a Kenwood KDC-X794..I have read good reviews about it, but some people had crazy stuff to say about it. Anyone have anything to say?
