Subwoofers / Speakers

i know both of the subs i want are really good. i just dont know what subs i want yet. its either going to be between the ssa xcon 18s or the sundown 18s. im going for more spl then anything. which one would put up more numbers? this is what i plan on doing to my truck no matter what. i already have the entire cab sound deadened. i have 4 super big interstate batteries to power everything, big 3, dual alts. so which one would be the best option for me?

Well, finally got the two Mach 5 15's in my 98 F150 ext cab today. They are in 6cuft tuned at 30 hz. First off, the woofers are just plain sexy. So simple, not over the top, and solid. After I got them installed I played a few bass test tracks and couldn't believe how clean they were... Now i've never owned a super expensive sq woofer by anymeans, but these compared to my 12 w3s from a little while back blow them away in the sq department. As for the myth of no sq with ported, throw that out the window with this woofer. It is a litte boomy at some notes, but not enough to distract, just enough to notice if you are looking for it. Now, as for being loud.. they can do that …

i was looking at the site and it says "There will be a $25 upgrade charge for high performance dual 2ohm coils." my question is why? whats different between the 4ohm coil and 2ohm?

Ok....spill your latest stuff.....it may be too advanced for some of us...but I can use a good lesson every now and then on stuff....where you wanna start???

hi guys, would just like to get inputs and possible if i could, get the best for my application. - sub will be in the trunk of a car. - fired towards the cabin through the center arm rest - max box would be 2 cubes, 1.5 cubes or smaller preferred - final impedance of 4 ohms - good for 1k watts of power in 4 ohms - SQ install but has a capability to massage me if i want to crank it up abit - can be tuned to a flat bass sound as much as possible thanks

Hey guys and gals. New to the forum. I have posted on a few others and not gotten much advice. I tried the search feature on this topic but need more help due to the Oz sub I will be asking about not being in any threads. I am putting together a new system for a 06 wrx sti. I want good sq but also the ability to get loud. Not anything crazy but loud. I will ask about the woofers as this is the woofer forum. I planned to do a single 15. It is between the tc2000 and Oz audio matrix elite and rlp 15. First off what are your opinions on these three woofers? I cannot find much on the Oz on the forums. The specs are very similar on the three. The rlp has the best price to feat…

I am going to buy a 1500W amp and thinking of purchasing a U series Sundown Audio 12” subwoofer, I have a Sound Ordnance BassBunker ported for 1.83 cubic foot volume with 34 hertz frequency. This sub says it needs 2.0ft^3 for ported, will my box be just enough to use this sub or not? I don’t want to really build/purchase new box as I just got this one. Any info would be helpful!

well i got home from work 2day and found my 12" Mag thanks alot nick deliverd it quickly and everything ... now 2marro time to go get it installed ^.^ ill be posting picks of the done install... and finally get to hear what this sub can do... also really like that not stating to let the sub break in a bit before pushing it ill let ya'll know how it comes out... costing me 850$ for the damn install custom box dynamat everywere and removing all my side panels and my 2 front seats to place the amps under the seats and also for the wiring... stupid components to install them i have to pull the whole damn panels off :/ bah oh well... ITS GONNA BE WORTH IT... THANKS AGAIN …

Got my new Fi bl 12 with a flatwind coil. i had it hooked up to a pioneer 2 ohm amp at like 600 rms. it was making a strange sound that i couldnt detect. maybe the tinsels hitting the cone? but it wasnt flexing very much. it is a dual 2 ohm voice coil btw.

Wanting to know if the enclosure volume requirements have been determined yet?

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?

Ive Had Some Kicker 15's For A While And Im Ready To Kick The Hell Out Of Them I Was Just Wanting An Opinion On Which Would Be Better For The Money I Am Upgrading My Amp Into A Planet Audio BB 2400 and all eletrical work is in the process as i type but i was just wondering which one is Bigger Better And BADDER!!!

I'm new here, and after describing what i was looking for(a cheap priced 18 that could perform) at another forum, i was told about the mj-18. I've been looking and reading for a few hours now and this sub looks like it fits the bill. Slighty more $ per sub than originally planned, but it seems that the extra quality and service more than makes up for it. Here's the plan. I'd like to do 4 mj-18's in my 1st gen 4dr. s10 blazer. I'm loosing the rear seat so i have everything from behind the front seats to play with for space. The subs will see 2000-2300 watts together. I would like to port the box no lower than 30, but no higher than 35. I see that 4.5 is the rec size per su…

I'm looking to pick up a 10" for my blazer and two 8"s for a buddy's truck and these seem to fit the bill for our applications, but I can't seem to find any sound reviews from people on here. Has anybody demo'd them or heard them at all? I don't doubt the quality of them as they wouldn't be on SSA if they weren't of the highest quality, but I'm just curious about the SQ, particularly in a small/medium sealed box.

So i bought pioneer ts d1720c and the tweeters are pretty harsh. I have them mounted buy my side mirrors. They aren't directed right at me but they are pretty close to me. I have them wired at -3db on the crossover as well and running off of my head unit at the moment. They also get pretty distorted in my opinion if i turn my stereo up at 27/35 (35 is the loudest it gets) Should i try different mounting spots? I have also read some bad things about these tweeters but i understand its all about the install and tuning.

What is the extension for the MLI-65? Looking to possibly use these in my doors for a DIY comp set?

so it says 4.5 cu ft recommended for ported box for an mj 18. how would it affect sound and output if i was to do say...6.5 to 7 cu ft. each? tuned to 30hz? would i get more bottom end? more output? what...

I just got a new eclipse SW8102DVC alum and i want to get a ported box for it. I used a calculator on another forum and got 1.93ft @26 hz. This can't be right. Eclipse tech support told me 1.75 @40hz. If anybody has any experience with these, please help!!!

So I have been looking for a midbass driver for a long time now to add to my Diamond Hex comps. I would still like to get my hands on some SI 8" drivers (hopefully they haven't been abandoned). But for now I am getting in on the RE group buy and gonna try the XXX6.5". But it leads me to have to find good xover for them. ANyone got a suggestion? Anyone at SI wanna build one for me by chance???

Last weekend I made up a modified MJ-18M and we decided to do some power testing using a SounDigital SD-12k. This unit has a single 1 Ohm voice coil and a couple of other mods: The box we placed it in. Not sure what the size or tuning was as it belonged to Murilo. Perhaps he can comment on it: First test went fairly well with 1.5kw: Second test did better with more power: Third test was with 11.6kw of power: Fourth test didn't produce any more output but the FrankenMJ took quite a bit - almost 16kw(!): That's pretty decent power for a single SD-12k amp!

I finally got some info on the new drivers. Very excited to try one out. I miss my old 2012. Thought I would share what I got from them

Hey guys, I have a brother that I installed an mj18 with a buttkicker silent subwoofer amp for almost 2 years ago. It has been great for him but now he is ready to upgrade, currently since the mj18 is 4ohm the amp is running 4ohm. What I would like to do is keep the amp, and 3.6-3.8cf box and replace the mj18 with an ixl18, but I realize its a 2+2voicecoil config. So the buttkicker is 2ohm stable, but I have read that if an amp is 2ohm stable then it will be 1ohm stable as well is there any truth to this? Also the box is sealed, and I wondered how the ixl would do in the sealed box at 3.6cf. We really like the price point for what the ixl can do. The only other opti…

Looking to go with a 12" sub hopefully but the box specs are the same if it was a 10 or 12 inch sub. Specs are: 1 ft 3 sealed. 5.75 mounting depth Going to be a stealth box custom made by someone other than jl... I was thinking sundown sd12? Anything out there that i could fit in a box like that and get some decent output?

SI is doing a system in a customers house and we ordered the 9" Sunfire Jr subwoofer for this application (cost and size). For those of you who don't know what a Sunfire Jr is, it is an 8" driver with an 8" PR and a 1400 watt amplifier all inside a 9" cube that is finished beautifully (a deep deep deep red - almost black - wood laquered finish)! We hooked it up next to the line arrays and this little sucker wangs HARD! On normal music it kept up with the line arrays just fine - ample bass all the way around, fairly tight...actually pretty darned tight for an out-of-the-box PR setup. The extension on this little bugger is impressive! It did just fine with an 85 Hz c…
