Goal is 139.9 BassRace in a '12 Grand Cherokee, biggest box I can fit is 5c/f tuned to 34hz for a 18"! Amp is Cactus 5k. Available motors are 1 DC lvl5 m1, 2 Sundown Zv4.rev1. Do I go 1 18" or 2 12"?

I have a pair of Orion HP12s sealed in 1.2 cubes per chamber powered by a JBL 1201.1 II amp that puts out 1100 watts at 2ohms and one of my Orions tore the surround recently and I'm trying to decide whether to get a replacement HP12 or upgrade. The Orions hit hard and clean. However I may upgrade if I could find an efficient pair of subs that could get louder and sound clean. The poll options are what I'm trying to decide between.

What you guys recommend for an Adire Brahma MK II 12" subwoofer?

he bought it used off ebay and on the cone it has the logo that says "RE", not the other logo. it pretty much looks just like this: so i'm THINKING it might be an SX but i'm not sure...is there any way to find out without having to send it in to RE and ask them?

Hello everyone, i just had a few quick questions. My friend recently bought 2 kicker comp. vr series 12" subs i believe they were, and hes running them off of a 600 watt amp, i dont know the name of it tho or the specific stats. His car sounds lovely from the inside and outside. I keep telling everyone about stereointegrity and to buy their subs but none of my friends listen to me... they all think im dumb because i dont have one yet(due to lack of funds), and so they dont believe me when i tell them what it can really do and they think im just bullsh*tting. i want to show them and make them jelous. (thats not a main priority of mine to getting this sub, but it would …

Hello everybody, I currently have a hifonics ZRX1216.1D It can do 1200w x 1 ohm or 600w x 2 ohm or 400 x 4ohms. I currently have a soundqubed HDS2.1 12" 600W rms subwoofer, I don't remember off the top of my head but I think I have it set up at 1 ohm. Anyway, I'm not sure If I should spend 188$ and get 2 600w rms dual 4 HDS2.1 12"s, or go with 1 SSA Demon 12" (dual 4 ohm) and eventually end up buying a second SSA Demon down the line. I'm starting to want to get into more quality built subwoofers over just cheap stuff so I really want to go with the demon but im not sure if its really worth it. They are on sale currently though so thats very enticing. The box i'm curren…

I want to build a 2way setup from Parts Express. I was thinking part # 290-307 Goldwood 6.5" and # 264-1006 Vifa 3/4" I was going to use one of their Dayton pre assembled x-overs at 2k Hz. It has poly caps and such, good choice? Its easy for sure. I wanted to build a IB stand for in home listening and then if they sound good put them in my car. I also need to find an amp for in home 4 ohm use, unless I'm not thinking of another way of powering them? Series, add something to the x-over, etc.. Thanks for all input. Greatly appreciated.! Ben

O.k. I got some money coming in soon. And I was wondering, Which would be better. 2 Maw-15's or something from Fi that would be better. So I was either going to get 2 Maw-15's or maybe just one Fi Q 15" or a Fi Bl 15".... Im staying under 300.00 for the sub... Well maybe a little over if I decide to incorporate some of the options with the Fi. If I get the Q or the BL which options should I get for them. Mind you this is just for Daily use. Thanks in advance. ~MadroX

ok so basically ive been spoiled over the years and had good speakers but i also had a much larger budget to work with earlier in life. i.e. ia death penalty 2nd gen re audio xxx ascendent audio assassins stuff of that nature. well i bought back my old assassins some time back because i loved their sound but they were about 12 years old and finally had enough and the surround fatigued. i already had a nice birch box made and well i couldnt just toss it and i bought some skar audio vvx-3 to fill the holes. well u cant put skars in a box for better speakers and still be in love so im getting rid of them and getting better speakers. dont get me wrong they get loud and p…

Im about to buy 4 new subs, I have the DD M3a which says it puts out 2200 watts at 1 ohm. If I got 4 dcons, do you think they could handle this power? Or should I jump up to the 500-7000 watt speaker range? I heard the dcons are very efficent at 300 watts, I would be doubling their power. Im thinking I could do this if I turn my amp down so Im not giving them the full 2200 watts? Opinions?

Hi, I posted here awhile back having trouble getting any output from two dcon 12 d4s in a sealed box. I tried them out in a ported box I had for my ED subs and there was a definite increase in output. But there are a couple of things I need your opinions on. The box is not spec for the dcons. Basically it's a 2.8 cu ft shared sub chamber with a 3x13x40 slot port which should give it a tuning around 28Hz. So it's undersized by about .7 cu ft from spec. Now the main issue. I have been running these at 4ohms off of a PPI A600 and while it sounds good, the amp runs VERY hot. Granted it always has, as has any of the Art series I've run at 2ohms stereo or 4ohms bridged. The oth…

i am looking for the opt box size for the kicker l7 15's i have all the stuff from kicker, but didnt sound right has anyone had any luck for spl boxes

Stopped at an audio shop in central MN and was very impressed with the Arc Audio Black series. Its a 2 way passive component set with a 6.5" mid, a 1" tweeter, and passive crossovers, I'm planning on running it active since i have an 80PRS. Anyway the guy was quoting me a price of $670 l(could hopefully talk him down a bit) Its cheaper than what I've seen the for new online. I'm hoping to hear personal reviews of these being installed. I have the 80PRS for a HU and a RF T8004 to power the component set. The mid will be installed in factory location and the tweeter will be installed in the door, right above the mid. If anyone has questions or comments please them below.

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?

I am wondering how these subs would compare as far as sound quality and SPL. , both 15" . Both powered by either sundown SAZ 1000d or a rockford t1000bd. I want to get a good quality sub and I am leaning toward the ICON but I am wondering if the SSD is a close enough match to save some money.

Hey I have done a lot of research and have heard that the soundsplinter RL-Ps are amazing for both sound quality and sheer power. I am looking for a setup that will bump and will be heard by people outside of the car, yet will still have good sq. I do not want it to bump so much so that my head is going to hurt after 10 minutes though. I was thinking possibly 2 12 Rl-Ps, but didnt know if those would be too loud for what I am looking for. Maybe even 1 15 Rl-P would work too. I would also like to know which type of box would work well with these subs? What type of amplifier would work well with these different setups? Again I want a system that can have some serious power …

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.

I want to purchase a 12" sub to be powered by a Soundstream Rubicon 702. Since I have limited trunk space I would rather a sealed enclosure. I use to own a 15" Kicker Solobaric (round version from the late 90's) that was being powered by this same amp and I loved it but it took up my entire trunk. The box was huge. So big I had to aim the sub upwards since it didn't fit facing front or back. So far I've liked the reviews for the Fi Q12 but I'm still very open to suggestions. I was also looking at the kicker cvx12 since I think it would be very similar to my old 15" which I really liked the bass that it produced. I'm just worried I might be disappointed having it in …

Looking into a system for my 2012 Extended Cab Silverado. Wanting the box under the seat. Will not be able to fit anything more than a pair of 10's, but the question i keep pondering is if 2 8's with more breathing room will be more in-line with what im wanting than 10's. Looking for a good street beating system, if an SPL contest comes around my area, ill go compete for fun, but quality sound is a must at lower levels, but I want to be able to feel/hear it when I wanna roll the windows down and cruise. The little i have been researching, the Sundown Audio E8's , Incriminator Audio I8's, Alpine Type R's, and IDQ's seem to always have good reveiws. Im a fan of being differ…

I need some calculations or box and port volumes for my maw 15s,so when they arrive,i can start my box.I plan on 1 big box divided into 2 equal chambers ported.i put in the port calculator and it said for a 15 in driver w/xmax of 13mm 3cuft@30hz like the specs for the maw 15 call for it says port needs to be minimum of 40.5 sq inches and 37 in long to get 30hz.what box and port size does Mark recommend for max output and sq?and is 3 cubes include displacement of sub and port or is it 3 cubes plus port and sub disp.thanks for the help....Dave

Sold the sa15s and got a pair of Fi SSDs and must say i'm slightly disappointed. The lows are far better with the fis but the sundowns were far "louder" than the fi's. The box is build to spec and I tuned the amp up and they just can't keep up with the sundowns. I think i'm going to try to trade the ssds and cash for a pair of level 4s.

Anyone know what it is? :bigclap:

Will this be possible 130 db on slash 1000

well ive done a little more since these pics and vids but the set up is 4 10 inch level 3s with level 4 coils and an extra spider box is 3.9 at 34 with 71 inchs of port amps are 2 ap30001Ds running at 2 ohm to the subs ( 6k ) electrical is 2 red tops in the back and stock up front 140 amp alt 2 runs of 1 gauge to the back and 0 gauge to the amps all stuffed into the trunk of a 1994 chevy cavilier! pics... an excursion vid ( only on 2000rms as i didnt have my 2nd amp then) and some numbers the 145.8 was sealed up at 42 hz and the 148.1 was with drivers door open the subs take the power surprisingly well havent smelt burning vc yet eather!
