Subwoofers / Speakers

just as the title states... seen a few threads about the mach 5 and was just wondering how it compares to the icon

Yes I've search around for comparison of the Mach 5 Audio IXL 12" with other subs, but with not much luck. So I was wondering people who have experience with this driver how does it compares with the RE Audio SE's, the FI Q and the FI SSD in Loudness in sealed enclosure of 1ft^3 I know they have awesome SQ, can they handle much more than they rated 1000wrms daily? For a loud daily driver with multiple of subs like 20+ in a sealed enclosure, which one of the above will you choose? it has to be loud sealed because a bunch of them, good sq and good power handling. Do you guys think it's a good idea to go with 24x of the IXL 12" sealed diamond or clamshell enclosure? Anyw…

i am trying to fit 8 gauge in the push button terminals on my subs ... how do you recommend i fit it in there? .... you need to put 2 strands on some terminals and i cant stuff them in there tight enough... should i solder them together and then push them in or is there something i am missing

Do you have to put it in the oven? Cuz the glue around that thing is super super hard like fiberglass, and i can't cut it off/

i was wondering if a sub calls for a 120 sq in port and you have 3 of them do u multiply it by 3 or what?

Ok I have a basket out of a 12 and a motor out of a 10 I wont to use together to make it a way better 12 then get it reconed. I was able to unbolt the motor for the 12 but I still can

basicly i want to build a box and i cant find any info on how to tune it. what i want to do is have round not square ports.

Just wanted to know if these to subs are comparable and if so, which one would you choose?

Looked around and got a bunch of mixed answers but I'll regurgitate what I have. 1. It fools the speaker into thinking the box is bigger than it is. 2. It makes the interior of the enclosure hotter. 3. When used in ported boxes it slightly lowers tuning. On to my questions/possible misconceptions. 1. Does that mean the speaker is louder?...Or does it play lower or what? I'm confuzzled. 2. Does that lower the thermal power handling of the speaker by hindering it's cooling capabilities? 3. My box is sealed sooooo...nvm And before anyone tells me not to mess around with it, my box is sealed and too small (I forgot to account for sub displacement) and plus I'm running about h…

same sub, same amps, same xover, same tuning, same port area. one box is 6 cubic feet and another box is 8 cubic feet. what will the audible difference be? i know the smaller box will require more power to move the same amount but aside from power handling does the ability to reproduce certain frequencies become effected?

How does this sealed box look for a 12" Magnum D2? I wanted 1.25 cu ft but w/ driver displacement I need 1.35 cu ft. 2333 cu in. = 1.35 cu ft H" x W" x D" 12.5 x 21.75 x 12 - External 11 x 20.25 x 10.5 - Internal 1.25 lbs polyfil Is that too much polyfil? Not enough? I tried to stay as close to the golden ratio as possible but I don't want the box to be more than 12.5" high. So does it look good?

How does the RSD-216 woofer compare to others? Should I upgrade it or stick with it? I was happy with the sound it had when I had them installed in my accord. Money is an issue.

Ok, I am in the market for my first Amp, and Sub set up, I have done tons of research and have talked to the guys at carstereo.com. I have a 2007 honda accord V6 EX-L, I have all stock speakers and all stock power, but it already sounds pretty good for all stock. I want my set up to sound smooth and fluent, rather than just ridiculous bass. I think I and going to get Fi Q15" sub, and Memphis PRD 16 1000.1, If there is any other set up that would meet my needs for around the same price, please let me know. Fi Q15 Memphis 16 PRD 1000.1

Ok. I'm starting back into audio but thought I'd start off with a decent boom/bang. Looking mostly for SQ with a little SPL. I already own a "brand spanking new" Zed Audio Kronos, pre-ordered a Stereo Integrity BM Mk V (I'm kind of limited in space). I was thinking of adding a SSA IC 150.4 and a set of 6.5 Evil Mids(I guess 8 ohm versions) and Evil 1 Tweeters. I am looking to do the following setup (all in a 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe): IC150.4 - Ch1 and 2 to Evil 1 Tweeters (maybe mounted to A-pillars or factory door location) IC150.4 - Ch3 and 4 bridged to BM Mk V (debating on how I want to set this up; either wheel well or leaned against the front of tru…

Mine sure does sound sweet powered by a aq750.

Anybody bought these? And with what other brands can they compete? E.g. Focal, CDT, Rainbow, etc. Secondly; will they play good on a SoundStream Tarantula 500/4 (4x125W RMS @ 4 Ohms)? Thnx.

i can get a pair of koda 6.5 inch components with the tweets and crossover for 175 bucks.. i want something with good midbass but i dont want only midbass. does that sound like a good deal? i had been thinking about the rainbow dreamlines for 300 but i dont know how they compare to the kodas, have heard good things about both but never a comparison. they'll be going in sealed kickpanels in my 87 trans am

I need some opinions on the Death Penalty... I will be running 3k rms to each 15'' DP that im going to order tomorrow and im wondering if anyone here has experience with that sub. I would like to see some opinions on this woofer as nobody around here runs IA... I have only heard 4 21'' wardens before and that was a burp van so yea.... I just got a killer deal on some DP's and know that IA is made here in the USA and not many people here in Missouri run them so I want to be different and insanely loud Everything helps please let me know what you think.

I am wondering how good do you think the sq is gonna be for a new MAG?? on a sundown sae1000d btw, but yeah, I am looking at a diamond D6 and want to know what is better

Have factory 6x9 in the rear of my 200 LeSabre. The thing is that I going to put a full Treo system and they dont make a 6x9; so go with the TS 6.5 like the door or add a TSI 8 sub?

In my case, my big toe found out that a new 45kg bass box, designed by myself but built by Baz V, is a heavy b@stard. In 11 years of the audio game, I have never let anyone near my box building for my own car,, then I got lazy and moved on. Then Baz V came to my attention and I decided to put my money where my mouth is and let him build me a box,, seriously good move,, several weeks later, one mighty Triple Chamber Reflex Box design later and with the help of Andrew J we have two sexy Stereo Integrity Magnum D2 12inch babes in a lush box that fits like a glove into my car. Could I ever move away from the nine year old Emmy

whats the normal temperature that a subwoofer have after playing some songs like for a pair of 10" AA Chaos, powered by a Rockford Fosgate t1500-1BD Wired at 1ohm

I've heard as a general rule to have at least 12in^2 of port per cubic ft. Is this solely to keep port noise down? Reason I ask is because a box size I've tinkered around with for my next build has 8.5-10in^2, yet in Winisd Pro it shows to only have a port velocity of about 60 ft/s. I've heard anything under 100ft/s is fine. Am I missing something? Facts wrong maybe?

I've narrowed it down to this set, image dynamics 6.5 component. CTX65CS. Is this the best I can get for my money($160)? Im looking for some feedback on these. And I also need an amp to power one set of these and a set of 6x9s.

I'm at the point that I'm interested in replacing my Ascendant Audio 10" Assassin with either another 10" with something a little more powerful. I'm interested in the SPL subs that Loyd tested. Does anybody know when they will be for sale? If its going to be a long time, lets talk about the loudness difference between my 10" Assassin, and maybe a 12" MAW powered off 300watts. I've also been looking at tc's t1000 line, I like the looks of them, mechanically. I really would like something in either a 10 or 12 that moves alot of air with 300watts.
