Subwoofers / Speakers

anyone ever use this sub? how did it perform?

Ok so I have one 12" ssd, with 700 watts, and im upgrading to 1200+ watts with the sundown 1200d v.2. Im not sure if I want to buy another ssd and make a new box, or just replace my existing ssd with one sub that can handle the power (and keep my existing box). I was browsing and found the hifonics olympus "olm1612," which does 1600rms bl=11, mms=204, fs=35.5. Given this sub's fs, can I still tune it to 32hz? And what does everyone think about hifonic's subs? I have always known their products, particularly their amps, to be somewhat cheap and overrated.

so,right now i have 2 12" kicker cvrs in my back seat because the box is too big for the trunk. i went to the shop to ask ab out getting a box made, he said 150. but he also said i should get rid of the kickers and get a 10" brutus, or orion, with a custom box and itd be way better than the kickers. so should i pay 150 to keep the kickers, sell the kickers and buy a brutus 10 and custom box for a lil over 200, or an orion 10 and custom box for a lil more than the brutus? i listen to mainly more rock, but lately ive been listening to rap cuz i like the bass. but still, i listen to way more rock. so what do you think?

Just curious if we are anywhere near seeing this driver, and if so, do you have any information about them?

Here it goes... At work, we have a Definitive Supercube subwoofer (awesome little things) that has been having problems. It powers up but will have little to no output. That's beside the point. I took it apart and checked the coil to see if it was open. I took my meter and it measured just under 30 ohms. We talked to the Definitive rep and he said that was right. My question is, what advantages are there to using a high impedance speaker like this? Keep the impedance spike higher in the FR range so the true sub bass isn't affected? I also figured that the plate amp would have to be designed to match the speaker also so parts cannot be properly swapped out. Just a …

Hi all, As per my newbies post, I've been hanging around for some time, and have now registered to enjoy the full support and knowledge of the SSA members! The sub and box size are not optional here, that's all I have to play with. For power I have 1400 @ 1 Ohm, 625 @ 2 Ohms or 312 @ 4 Ohms. I was dead set on an Audiopulse EPIC 8, but have not been able to find one for love or money! So now I have a real dilemma... simply put, which sub should I buy? I am looking ultimately for SQ, but do want it to get loud whilst retaining that SQ. I have looked at the SoundSplinter, TREO SSi, MA Audio, Elemental Designs, Digital Designs, Image Dynamics, Eclipse and RE to name but a few…

my tweeters are tyring to pump out way to many vocals whats the easiest way to cut some lower frequencies? I'm hoping its as easy as putting some capacitors inline with the tweeter

My friend is looking for some components and has about 175W @ 4 to play with and ofcourse wants to fill that void with speaks rated somewhere up there, but it seems to me there are more quality components in the sub 100W range. I noticed there are few passive component sets that are rated up over 100W RMS. Are there any high wattage components that are highly recomended? PS- Price range around 200-300

Is there any companies out there that would be willing to custom make a recone kit with a high roll surround? Say I wanted to recone a BTL or something or that sort, but I really wanted a high-roll rubber surround. I know TC makes their subs with them, as does SoundSplinter with their Rl-p 18, but I want to do it with a sub like the BTL, DD 9500, or something else in an 18.

Hi guys, what's the highest number (TL)you've seen with 4x RE SE 12" ported playing music? and if you know, what was the tuning freq and power? thanks.

How about a little history lesson on Blues? How did they start? Who was involved? What happened to the line when SoundQuest (Way before AAMP/Stinger) bought them out? When they decided to bring the Blues lineup back? I am very interested as I always liked the brand when I was a kid back in the 90's. P.S. Let's get Ray on here to spill the beans on Blues and Linear Power.

does anyone know what the projected date that the subs will be sent out. i pre-ordered a 15" and am so anxious to get it.

I know most of you guys over here are all for SI and SS and it doesn't seem like you get much talk over here about RE. Well my question involves RE, and I'd appriciate some input... I drive a 1995 Ford Explorer XLT. I was going to pick up a set of 12" RE SEs and port them at 33 Hz. I was going to use the following box deminsions: 36" length 13.5" height 23.5" depth Well today I measured and made some what of a template to see how big the box would be in my Explorer. Everything is fine except I don't want it so deep. I've talked with a few guys from RE or who know alot about them and they said I couldn't really make it any smaller. Is that true? Or Should I go with a singl…

I bet one of us representatives has an announcement to make in the next week or so Wanna bet it's a good one for all you fans? Nick...make me co-moderator...damnit...

A drill went through my subwoofer (foam surround, not the actual subwoofer) while taking it out of its enclosure. The hole is about an inch long, what do I need to do to fix it? Is there some sort of kit I can buy, if so where at?

Just trying to get a specific size of the Xcons screw hole's. I want to attach it with Tee-Nuts but didnt really know what size I should get. If somone has this information I would apprechiate the reply. Thank you.

So I got bored and took my Orb Audio sub out of its' enclosure and noticed holes in the cone down by the spider. Why is this? Iv'e never seen it before or heard of doing this. Anyway, Here are some pics of this little bad boy. It's not a bad sub for an 8". It acts more like a 10" or 12". I wish the extension was a bit lower but this is just my game room setup. Here it is next to my AA assasin that I've still yet to install. Not sure IF I want to build an enclosure for two of these in the game room or put them in my wife's car. Decisions...decisions!!!!!

Hi Guys, Just in case some of you didn't catch the site, I'm headed out on holidays this Friday. I'm not suppose to be back until August 13, but I'll probably be around at least once during that period. Heading up to the cottage for some *cough* relaxation (read work). Take care all. Mark

First im going to do the 6.5's then the Assasin's. Well, Got them installed yesterday. I must say in short, well worth the money. I bought these 6.5" Co-Axil's as a stand in for a pair of Type-R 6.5"-Axil's. I've heard the Type R's before but these where tons cheaper. Deciding that even if they didnt sound as clear my GF wouldnt notice a difference, she just wants music and her mom and I just want to save money (we are cheap, I know). I purchased the pair from flakko. They where about $55, dont know what the real cost/shipping was since they where also purchased with a USamps IS2080. No the USamps wasnt used for the review, yes i know it would have been better but i…

Just put my 15D2 in, 3.8 cubes tuned to 30 hz. words simply cannot describe it. this sub is PERFECT. louder than my 4 ED 12K's, hits more accurately, just beats the cr*p out of you. I am simply amazed. Nick (and all others associated with this project), you have done an astounding job. I don't think I'll ever buy another sub again. Just threw it in facing backwards to test it out a bit and measure against my last setup. gonna go try it forwards now, like how I had planned to set it up.

My dcon finally shipped I'm gonna do an unboxing on YouTube when it arrives stay tuned thru out the build. I'm excited.

I would have clicked the buy it now but..... those have the old school rubber surrounds that are most likely somewhat dry rotted. These would be better off kept in the box the way they are. I would LOVE to put these in my 91 Acura for a somewhat period correct system but these are just too damn sexy! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...I:IT&ih=006

Well, there's a lot of interest in the car audio world for the Mach 5 drivers, however, I'm looking at a home audio application. There have been a few instances of the drivers being used for HT, but I thought I'd start a thread where more discussion could be done for home audio and SQ(L) oriented installations. This summer, once I've acquired some money at my summer job, I'm thinking about buying 2 MAW-15s to put in my room to replace my 12" AA Assassin (that's if my parents let me...). Anyway, I've done some fiddling in WinISD, measuring spots in my room to put them, and some comparisons on what I like about my Assassin and what I don't. What I'm looking at right now is …
