Subwoofers / Speakers

So I was going to purchase a Xcon recone but it occured to me to double check compatability. Since I know designs have changed in the last few years with certain subs. I had to go through all my posts/thread topics to find it since I know I didn't order it directly through the store/website since it was special order. Turns out I purchased my Xcon back in 2011. Would the current recone work for my sub?

which do u think would be better SQ and SPL wise? both would be in 2 15's and have a Hifonics BX1800D amp on each. i just dont know if 2 15" RE XXX's would be better or if 2 15" Brahma's would be better...

Ok guys, I need help deciding if I should get either an eclipse TI 12" or a crystal cmpx2(if I can even find one). Both will be sealed, probably be running off and orion 1200D, and inside a reg cab truck. opinions plz.

A dual 10" SI BM set up in a sealed box would be easily comparable if not better in SQ than two w6's, correct? I'm considering my next setup, even though i just got my SSD's in. haah never happy, althought currently, im extremely happy with the Fi's but ya gotta switch things up.

well, being who I am (very inquisitive by nature) I constantly find myself loomking at audio equipment, and as such, I always wonder to myself, hey that would be neat to have etc... So, I keep looking at 15 inch subs lately for some reason, and more specifically, at the RE SEX15D4, has anyone on here have experience with it? I just may, and a big "may" be able to convince the wife to let me buy one..... maybe... It'll be powered by a JBL GTO 601.1 amp. Again "if I can convince the wife" Thanks for the advice in advance, even if it is for naught...

hi guys. looking for pair of 12" subs that fit the following criteria. must be able to take 1200 rms daily--must be brand new--must be dual 2 ohm--and finally must be able to fit in a ported box 4.5 cf or less after displacement.

So last week while driving and listening to music at a moderate level, my left mid goes out all of a sudden. It comes back on then out again about two more times until it completely stops. The tweeter was still playing fine however. Now I'm pretty baffled by this. I checked every connection, from the amp to the crossover and then finally the speaker itself. Nothing was wrong, but I redid the connections at the amp and crossover anyways. Still didn't fix it. I took the speaker out of my door to inspect it and test it on an amp in my bedroom. Nothing is visibly wrong with it, coil is perfectly shiny, cone moves up and down without any problems. Tried testing it in my room…

> All new design < Now I am no ScottA or NickM or NickW etc. nor do I claim to or try to be, so I am curious as to how a certain someone came up with this in a working format, or is this another fancy wording job?

Install is temp, just waiting to get a new truck. System is a kicker zx1500.1 pushing the two Mag 15's in a 5.2cf sealed box and a Mtx 2300xw pushing my kicker comps that are in the doors. Deck is a Alpine 9835 and a AC Four.1. Box will be ported when system goes in new box.

I have not used winISD or any program like that before. Is it a freeware program??? or does anyone have some plans for a SI 15 ported???

i have a 2002 lexus es300 same trunk and the new camrey i think. i'm thinking ported, tuned to somewhere around 28 or so. i have no idea really i'm not a box guy at all. same tuning if i use 2? i have a hifonics zues 1000d that does 1000@1ohm i want clean sound but i want lots of bass when the right song comes on so i can crank it. would it be better to get 1 or 2. if i get 2 can i get a better amp in lets say 6 months? us amps 1500@1ohm? i was going to get 1 but i see people posting about 450 watts on 1. will 1 sound cleaner then 2 at 1000@1ohm? how muhc louder will 2 be then 1? sorry for all the ? but i want to amke 100% sure what i'm doing. can i buy box plans from…

I currently have 2 05' s12L7's running on a bx1605d in a 4cuft box tuned to 35hz. The box has the subs and port facing up. I have been looking at alot of different subs and decided to ask your opinion. I have about 5cuft for an enclosure after subs displacement and port area. What two 12"s or 15"s could I get that would sound better and get just as loud or louder preferably with the amount of space I have and my bx1605d? They will be in an 04 Toyota Tacoma Ext. cab. Thanx 4 any help.

So right now I have an alpine type-r 10" sub in a sealed box. Im planning on buying another alpine type-r, would it sound weird if i put it in a ported box? Or should I just have it match the other sub in a sealed box? So basically, 1 sealed & 1 ported vs 2 sealed whats your input? Thanks

this is the best 8'' sub i ever seen i thought my 1508 and 1008a was the shit but the sa-8 is a monster 0.90@35hz testing tomorrow sa-8 next to lil mtx 8'' my lil girl thought it was a cool toy

Vehicle is a 2004 lincoln aviator. I want components that will fit in stock locations for all four doors. The setup is a pioneer 3800 head unit, fi bl 15 in 4 cubes ported at 32, T1000-1bdcp. I need components that will fit the doors (tweeters I can mount anywhere) that will give me decent coverage. I'd prefer to not drop a ton on the speakers overall, maybe $400 total. I'm going with either a punch or power 4 channel for the mid amp.

hay mark I did it

Hi, I had a question on whether I should have 2 FIBl 15s or one single bl15. I would be powering them with a Hifonics Bre1700. If I had a single bl It would get 1700rms. Would it be any louder with two bls but with 850rms each? The box is roughly 4 cubic feet. Any help is welcome.

I'm looking to install some subs/kickers in my chevy. I've never done so, so please excuse my noob-ness. I know i need an amp to power it all up. what do you think of this? My link What amp would best power this? kind of on a low budget thanks.

I had two Pioneer Championship PRO (TS-W3003D4) 12" subs (600watt RMS each) on a Hifonics Zeus 1200 watt amp wired at 1 Ohm in my 02 Tahoe. It was pretty powerful, but I still would like a little more punch in the chest, so I'm now thinking about maybe going with 3 Kicker Comp-VRs and a better amp, OR maybe if there are more powerful 12"s with the right amp combination. I'm at a point where I'm ready to take this seriously now. What brands or whatnot would I need?

So I need some testimonials. I've read most of the threads related to them on here, I just want MORE! nah not too much. I've just gotta nut up and do it. I'm thinking about putting a 15D2 in a 3.0-3.5 cubic foot ported box, one tune to 32 hz or so, another to 45 or so. How much port area does this sub like? Also, I'm a fan of quick, tight bass. Will this setup deliver for me? I'm forward-facing it in my trunk, and sealing off behind it. I was just a little worried because the group delay is 2.5 times that of my current setup of four sealed flat cone ED 12K's. And the Le on the D2 seems high, but does it make a difference if the sub is wired in series or parallel? …

So I currently have a 12" SSA Icon on a sundown sae 1200 in 2 cu ft enclosure tuned to 32 hz. I'm wanting to try something new and came up with the idea to recone it to an 18 and run it in a 4.5-5 cu ft sealed enclosure. I know it will have a flatter response but am I going to see a nice increase in output? I would assume because of the large cone area difference. I thought about trying a different sub but I like my icon and have always wanted to try a 18; and it'll be cheaper than purchasing a different sub. Will I be disappointed? Can anyone point out differences like pros and con's, lol. Any help is appreciated

Please give me your reasons. Will be running 2 12's of a 3000D the Bl will be loaded...not sure on the nightshades options though

i have recently been looking to get some components! i have an Fi Q 15" which has been in a couple of months now getting on really well with it no complaint! but my mid woofers are destroyed i have to have the sub just so i cant here them rattling lol! anyway had a quick browse round on a budget of about 150 (pound) Focal Access 165 A1 JL Audio Evolution TR650Csi Hertz Energy ESK 165.3 Thanks any input will be helpful

Going with a CDA-9887. What is the lowest the C1 can go safely?

So...I need new door panels. I figure while I've got those off, I might as well sound deaden the doors. Then, I figure I might as well upgrade my coaxials to components 80wpc to the Boston FX6's just isn't cutting it anymore... My criteria: * 2 ohm impedance preferred. * At 2 ohms stereo, my PG Tantrum 500.2 does 250W/side. * Going to be mounting the tweet in the A-pillar trim...I prefer the sound of silks over metals...at least for all the ones I've auditioned. * The mid is going in the stock door location, with a 6.5" cutout...I don't know the max. mounting depth as of yet, but the FX6's are 2 1/8" inches deep. So that fits without a problem. * I listen to a lot of cla…
