Subwoofers / Speakers

Well to start off i have a 95 camry, my previous system was stolen which was a 15'' L5 on a punch 1001bd in a sealed it was loud but not enough so im not that disappointed that its gone but now im looking for something better. I just came back from a few audio shops to get some ideas. i was thinking four sealed 12 but the way the box will have to be will make the two outside subs starve for airspace, so i started looking into some subs that will be alright in a small enclosure...(JL 12w6v2)the guys recommended three 12's or two 15's the subs im looking into are... Two 15's BTL AQ HDC3 L7 Four 12's Cvx 12w6v2 Fi Q The amps will probally be two AQ2200 but im open for sugges…

Am currently decideing between getting a 15" Incriminator Audio Death Row (with the correct gain setting and knob control) or a 15" RD Audio Heavyweight (SQ model). I have 2000 ~2200 watts of rms to play with and planning to use a 4 cu.ft enclosure tuned to about 28~32 Hz seeing that the enclosure size is within both woofer's specs. Electrical is not a problem ( 230 amp HO alt., Big 3 done with double runs of 0 gauge, kinetik 1800 in the back). Am wanting to know which sub to get. I know that this may not be the best forum for the topic but i like to hear both positives and negatives of the sub(s) that am thinking of purchasing. Am wanting a sub that is musical and can p…

so ive been recently looking at two subs the fi ssd and ascendant audio arsenal both 12" what is the big difference between these two? i know that the fi take 800wts and the arsenal 500wts and their mounting depths are close.

Im going to be doing some fiberglass work to my truck door pannels and figured i might as well get a new set of comps while im at it. I'd like my budget to be around a few hundred bucks, id like to include the amp in that budget too haha. I was thinkin' about some AQ 6.5s but to me they just dont look like they will do the job... anyone have a set? Then i was thinkin' about a set of Type R's, buutttt then again i'm not really feelin' it. So just throw some options out for me Dont forget to add the prices too! Links are great as well

Are the older polk momo components speakers (they have a little yellow arrow on them) any good, I can get a good deal on a pair and want to know what you guys think of them. Thanks

Here are the links for some of my equipments, tell me what yall think. I will post up some more tomorrow. SSA Car Audio Forum -> Gallery -> Viewing image -> CIMG0708.jpg http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/index.php?app=gallery&module=images&img=4567

hey guys im lookin to order a new set of components within the next few days and right now its between either the DLS ultimate UP6i's, NEW 2010 DLS UP6I 2-Way 6.5' Component System - eBay (item 180457270509 end time Jan-26-10 09:27:21 PST) or the morel tempo 6x's, Morel Tempo 6X 6.5" Component Speaker Set Tempo6X 6-1/2 - eBay (item 170433023473 end time Feb-14-10 22:52:07 PST) what one should i get? or if u think i should get something else please let me know, all opinons will be taken intro consideration! and also i dont knwo what a good reasonably priced amp i should get so any help here would be greatly appreciated as well. thanks everyone!

Im in love with it! its not even broken in yet and it sounds deeper than my two audiopipe 15's! And i forget who said it but its does sound louder and deeper than my two 15s. But the other ones are louder on the meter. Plus its two to one. The magnet on this thing is huge (plus its 54 pounds). Can't wait til the Jan. 30 to order another one. Rusty is awesome. It came exactly when he said it would. Great customer service. i'll try to post pics today. The files on my phone is too large.

Ok I've had my havocs for a week now, and now I'm just reviewing them. These monsters sounds so much better since last week, I mean they sounded awesome out the box, but now they are monsterous, and play God awefully loud and deep. These subs are amazing, and the funny thing is that I have it in a prefab box that had my Diamond audio d3's in and they sound so good and much better then the Diamond subs, I know they will sound much better in the proper enclosure. Thanks again Brian for the great customer service and great product.

I just got my new ssa xcon today in the mail. i hooked it up in a 3.6 cubic foot enclosure tuned to 32hz. It is only its test box until I can afford a proper enclosure. Its getting 1600rms from a hif\onics brutus amp, and this thing sounds great and goes loud, I will post up pictures and videos tomorrow once I fine tune it to the best it can get under the circumstances. I can't wait until I can get a new amp and enclosure this thing will rock. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

well i was bumping a bassmekanic CD with lots of fast beats and high pitch bumps. I bumped it for a good 45 min. I thought i smelled something But it wasnt like a strong smell of something Burning just smelled like a light hint of something I felt my subs and they where Warm But not Blazing Hot. Is it Normal for subs to gain some heat ? Was i abusing my subs ? I mean i did turn it down after I was just upset and started bumping my shit on my ride home.

I have 2 15" MTX thunder 4500's running at 4 ohms off a memphis 1000 watt d class. I was riding around town today when I noticed a remarkable difference in output.. I checked the subs when I got home, to see that one had NO output at all.. I took the sub out to look at it, and the voice coil seems to be "seperated" or torn away from the spider.. Is this the reason that the sub stopped working, and is it repairable? It's not a major concern, I only had these subs as a temporary fix until I order my 15" Fi BL. It would still be nice to have both of these subs in working order though. Any thoughts? here's a link to a video of what happened.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O…

In the near future im going to be setting a new system in my car, im going to be running the sundown sae-1200d for my 2 sa-8's, and the sax-100.4d for my mid's and highs, and of course doing the big 3, and running a yellow top optima for my starting batt. now my factory alternator is a 110 amp. i was planning on running a tsunami 2 fared capacitor, so my question is for my set-up and system will this be sufficient, or will i need to upgrade my alt, or just add a batt.?

My girlfriend has a 2010 Elantra and wants a single 12 and has a Kicker ZX750.1 to power whichever we choose. The ones listed as the one's we're deciding between. Price isn't an issue between them, so please don't take that into consideration when choosing one of the options. She usually prefers the sound of sealed, but I know a ported 12 could also sound tight and hit hard.

I just sold my BTL and Kicker amp and ordered an SAE-1200d and 2 SA-12's and I still have a bunch of money left over plus I get paid soon so what do you guys reccomend? I want good mid-bass and very clear sound to go with it. I will be ordering a SAX 50.4 to power them. Budget no more than 300.

So i just got my new infinity kappa speakers a few days ago. While i was installing them, i noticed they were crackling alot while i was screwing them to the door. After a good amount of investigation, i came to realize that the frame of the speaker (or any metal on it) was creating a short on the door of the car itself. I could take my knife and touch the speaker frame and then touch the door, and it would short with sparks arching at the other end. The stock speakers were coated in plastic around that area so that the screw was isolated from the speaker and wouldnt short. Does any one know why this is happening? any ideas on how to keep it from happening on my new spea…

My jeep has 6x9 in the front and 6.5 in the back. Thy are the infinity gold system that came with the jeep. I just purchased a pair of ID ctx65cs speakers and am stuck on what I should do. My options are as follows 1. Put ID component set in back and replace front 6x9 with ID ctx69. Buy a 4 channel amps to run all 4 2. Buy another set of ctx65cs and run them in front and back off a 4 channel amp 3. Put ctx65cs in front and run off a 2 channel amp(100rms x2). Run the stock rear speakers off of the head unit. What do you guys think? I am leaning towards option 3, it will allow me to save money towards my subwoofer. I know with option 3 that my music will be a good deal lo…

anybody know of any good component sets for around 100$,size 6.5 with 1 inch tweeters.i been lookink at kiker ks but there around 150$.

I have a SS xxx 15 with a psi recone. the surround ripped does any one know where i can just get the surrounds ?

I WAS JUST CURIOUS AS TO WHEN THE FLAT CONES WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR ORDERING BECAUSE I REALLY LOVED THE LOOK OF THE ONE I HAD SEEN IN A FEW VIDS POSTED AND I PLAN ON GETTING A NEW SUB SOMETIME IN THE NEXT 2 MONTHS ALL HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED

Hey guys. I'm trying to piece together a 3-way active front stage in a friend's car and I need some help in selecting speakers for this application. The car is an '06 VW Passat if that is of help more than pictures of the A-pillars. Planned locations are A-pillars for midranges and tweeters and doors for midbass. Processing is going to be done by a car pc, all software, no limitations there. Power is going to be plenty, 100w@4 ohms for each midrange and each tweeter and 200w@8ohms for midbass. Odds are that the actual install is going to be done by me so atleast the doors will get a good treatment. The main goal for the install is to build a very good sounding front st…

Hey guys! I received my Hovoc 15's 2 days (Thanks you Brian) ago and installed them yesterday. DAMN!!!! Thats all I can say lol. I had 2 Diamond Audio d3 previously and they were great. They hit pretty hard but didnt hit the lows hard enough for me. I had a Mmats 2000.1 amp powering both subs and the d3's couldnt handle it when cracked up, they started to smell like smoke after playing them hard and long. Overall they are great entry level subs, nice quality, and they hit hard. now for the havocs, out the box I knew these things was going to be a beast, and they are. After I installed them I rode around for a couple of hours just playing different songs and instantly thes…

So my friend blew his 10" PowerBass sub in his pickup truck the other day.. He sent it off to be repaired, and wanted to get something cheap to replace it til it gets back. He goes and buys a 60$ Sony Xplode from wal-mart. He called me up and asked me if I would install his new sub.. not telling me it was a Xplod. So I get to his house and start laughing. But nonetheless, I put it in for him. After it was wired up, I had to see how it sounded.. The Xplod sounded 2x as good, and loud as the PB ever though about being. SMH. The PB was a DVC 4 ohm sub, and the Xplod is a SVC 4 ohm.. I just thought this was pretty humorous, since the local car audio dealer charged him 100$+ …

I will be running my new sundown 1200D that I got from the preorder The deepest sub I can go with is 6.5 so Im thinking Id get with 2 high powered 10s. But they will probably only get .75cu ft per sub What subs would you all recommend?

the tweeter in my sig, if i change the tweeter to a different one while using the crossover would it matter? or because it is still getting the same crossover slopes its ok?
