Subwoofers / Speakers

so i am getting a $400 loan from a friend an i want to get TWO not one but TWO 18's what is the absolute best i could possibly get for that? i am like, OCD and i cant stand having a lonely woofer so it has to be a pair...=| please help. i am itching to break things with pure sound!!

Alright so i'm going to buy an 18" fi bl before summer, but i want the plans for the setup before i buy. My box is 31"H 35"W and only 17"H, and will have a 3" port going along the 31"H, tuned to ~30hz. The sub will be on the same side of the box as the port, is that a problem? The only thing i could think of is that, im taking up 2 seats in my quad cab dodge ram for this, and because of the seat it will be set at an angle. Will the sub perform right, and what should i do, if anything, to my box since it will have the strain of an 18" sub on it. The only way i could get around this would be if i put it in the bottom corner opposite the port.. how does where i put the sub o…

anyone ever heard an 18" brahma? Im going to get a 15 brahma reconed to an 18, with flatwind aluminum 4 layer coil. What kind of box would i be looking at? I was thinking of 7cf tuned to 32 hz, Off 1200 watts. IF anyone has any input it would be apreciated. Im wanting an 18, and i have a blown brahma. Brahma is known to be a low end monster but an 18 brahma should be awsome right? or am i wasting my money

Hey guys i was wondering if this box is good for the 18" btl fully loaded . it will be for daily use with around 2k to 3k goin gto itbox plan

Alright, i made a rough sketch in google sketchup, not sized at all just random measurements but this is how i want it look, and the specifications i was thinking about using. The port is partly external because i will be firing it through the rear deck of my car. Tell me what you guys think! (Still working on perfecting google sketchup) Net volume ~ 8 cuft Port Area = 144in2 Port Dimensions = 9 x 16 x 37 (length) Tuning = 32hz Sub will be facing up aswell as the port.

Alright, this just might be me being stupid but here it goes. Someone locally has Three SA-12's up for sale and i was kind of curious what your opinions on this was. Iv had no experience with SA-12's at all, and i was only curious if this would be more of an upgrade or a downgrade on my part? Id be keeping the amplifier i have now, an AB 100.1 so ill be running about ~1500wrms. Im thinking if it would be an upgrade in my part ill trade him my BTL for his 3 SA-12's. The main reason I think this would be a good trade is 2 reason: -more cone area with the SA-12's -more motor force with multiple subs So if the QUALITY of the subs is on par... i might try this out. Not s…

so i have the kicker 2500.1 which is 2500 @ 2ohms, or 1250 @ 4. I want to know what will give me the most boom. Mostly rap all day. I can build a custom ported box. I have the whole hatch of the nitro to work with. i wanna knock on peoples doors from blocks away, rattling windows is fun- lol

So, iv finally got my subwoofer enclosure finished, and set up in my trunk. After listening to it for a while it was surprisingly accurate, id say even more accurate than my Type X's which are actually supposed to be SQ drivers. Overall super impressed, and obviously it gets nice and loud.

Is a true 1500 watts too much for a single Fi Q 18" to handle with the BP option? I was trying to decide between going this route, or going with a dual 15" setup with a 2500watt amp...I'm leaning towards the 18 since it'll be cheaper and more electrically friendly. (vehicle is a dodge magnum)

Will be doing 2 in my Excursion so cubes arent really that much of an issue. Which one and why or suggestions of others not on this list but currently looking at RE XXX, ZCon, BTL or nightshade. Going to use Crescendo power 5500s havent picked mid bass or highs for up front either but going with a Pioneer double din more than likely. So any and all help appreciated advise me what you would use and why. I listen to a broad array of music rap, rock, country, metal, death metal, techo, trance and even classical sometimes. Im getting into this game a bit late being almost 40 but its something Ive always wanted to do. Again any and all help setting this project up is gre…

how much does an RE SX 18" weigh ??? web site says 27lbs ??? that cant be right ? can it

planning a sealed box for a 18" rl-p, and i want this thing to be solid. first things first, im gonna resin it. should i do the entire inside, or just the edges? i was thinking mainly the edges to give it a nice tite seal. can i use resin instead of caulk? or should i caulk first, then resin? 2nd, instead of using a 2x baffle, i was thinking about bracing it. i saw this bracing thing from bcae: http://www.bcae1.com/spboxnew2.htm and was going to stick 2 of those in the box. (dims are 42x12.5x18.75) also maybe add some polyfill. the box + the bracing and displacement is going to be around 4.18 cubic ft w/o the fill thanks in advance

Opinions wanted I'm looking to build my box between 6-8 cubes I will be running around 3,000 watts RMS to the sub I want to spend between 400-600 $ I am not going for SPL at all, I want pure loudness and lows With that said, I have talked with quite a few people about this decision I need to make within the coming weeks and so far I have a few I am very interested in. 1.DC Audio Level 4 XL 18" 2.Fi Audio BTL N2 18" 3.DD Audio 9500G 18" 4.SSA ZCON 18" All I want are opinions about which I should go with while keeping all of my needs in check Any help is greatly appreciated and right now I'm leaning towards the DD! Check this out as well, sooo sick! 4 15" DDs

Im planning to do a wall in my car but my wife says I have to wait until we have another car (we have kids.) In the meantime I have dimensions of 33Dx31Wx16H. With .75 MDF that leaves 7.79783 cubes total. I want to run one Xcon 18 but I dont know what the mounting depth is. Obvioussly Ill be mounting it sub up so my D will become 16". I assume 16" is deep enough but? After port and sub displacement I should have about 7 cubes and want to tune to 32hz. is 7 cubes at 32HZ. too much for 1 Xcon18?

I'm about to start a wall build in my 2000 plymouth neon with 2-18" zcons. They will have about 14cu net for the pair and I plan to tune low 30s. My question is how much port do these guys like? Normally I would use 14-16sq per cu but I've never used ssa before so I thought I'd ask and see if anyone knows what these subs like. Thanks for any help.

c ^^where they sat for some months, lol paintin the baskets sandin around the attachable section the huge ass mag attached extra thick huh? yea i really did hurt myself tryin to take this pic, lol

If I have D1 12" AA Mayhems and I hook them up to the sundown 4500D by running the voice coils on each sub in series(which makes each sub a 2ohm load) then run them parallel to the 4500D would that give me a ~1ohm load to the amp? Or am I missing something here? Ive been told by many different people who are very well versed in audio that I need D2 and D1 for that amp. Any insight or help? Also the electrical is big 3, 220A alt, 3/0ga run to two 3100D batts, then hooked up to the 4500D.

im getin ready to buy an amp for my front stage but i figured i do some research on an active system. first off what i have now is a sony cdx gt310 with the ipod control. (im thinking only having 1 preamp output is a problem) polk db1000 tweeter, db525 5-1/4" coaxils, db690 in the rear deck, kenwood excelon x10d runing a 12" aa arsenal. i was thinking a 2way front stage would be best. i could fab a 6"~ woofer in the door and use the polk tweeters. what are some good products and what will i need to pull this off? i dont want to spend alot on this upgrade, it more of about learning how it works then buying 500$ worth of equipment to show up my friends.

Are these 2 dd3512e pretty much maxed out at 144.5 db? Trunk setup on aq3500d (old one). Is this possible to get them louder?

ok guys heres the deal i was thinking of trying to go to some localish iasca competitions. i have never competed before and was wondering for the first class its 1-160 sq in. so my basic question is do i want 1 12inch zcon (113.4 sq in.) or should i go with 2 10 inch xcons (157sq in.) my thought is with the 2 10 inch xcons (1 ohm) on a saz3500 both would be in the biggest box that will fit my trunk tuned to 34hz all the math works out but i just wanted to know if i was on the right track before i spend like 2 grand then have it be the wrong set up to compete. any input would be nice but if you are /was in this class tips would help any more info needed just ask (sorry …

I was thinking of getting 2 Mach5Audio MJ-18 Single 4 ohm and running them off my Phoenix Gold Tantrum 1200.1 @ 2 ohms in a vented box 48 x 24 x 18 with 90 sq in of port tuned to 30 hz. this would go in inplace of the back seat of my 07 dodge quad cab. I was just wondering what your thoughts were on my box plans? each sub should see around 700 watts. this would be a purely show off setup for truck shows. any thoughts or opinions ??? thanks Chad

Hi all ive been looking Around here for a while and finally decided to ask a few questions.
