Subwoofers / Speakers

Is 1/4 20 tee nuts good or what size to get

i just got the car not to long ago and put some cheap audiopipe subs in they get a little bit loud buit really sloppy i plan on getting a HO alternator and some batts. not sure about the mids and tweeters i will buy those after sub and amp right now ive been looking at the nightshade xcon icon and AA havoc i want to get a single 15 or 12 possibly 10 im listen to almost everything i want it to hit lows i have been saving ive got about $400 for the sub and i am planning on saving for a new amp to power the sub any inputs would be great, are there any other subs that might be good to check out ?

I found a good priced amp for the LI 12 I'm getting soon and was hoping to get some feed back on if it is a good buy or not. Phoenix Gold RSd 600.1 (RSd600.1) (rsd6001) Mono Subwoofer Amps Car Amplifiers Car Audio Car Audio, Video, & GPS Navigation - Sonic Electronix The link is what I was looking at. So if I were to get that amp and get a DVC 4 ohm LI would I wire it like http://a248.e.akamai.net/pix.crutchfield.com/ca/learningcenter/car/subwoofer_wiring/1DVC_4-ohm_mono.jpg <That? Any help and feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks, Jeremy

1 Mach5 SPL12 2 AQ2200s @ 1ohm strapped 147.0 @ 43hz........LEGALLLL Was a local show.....i was loudest by far, next loudest was 4 12 JLs with a 142 legal That is all i have to say about thatttt Mach5 :eek::eek::eek: AQ amps :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: For comparasion: 12 HDC-A and 500.1 @ 1ohm = 146 @44hz legal in my truck with a semi-similar box

Ive had my 15" in a 4 cu/ft box ported to 28hz My friend has his XXX in a 3 cu/ft box to 34 hz I like his cuz it hits the lows nicely without distorting. My prob with the 28 hz at 4 cu.ft was some songs sounded horrible. What box would sound the best and get the lowest for rap music?

Does anyone know of any nice 6.5" coaxials (preferably the size that can fit into the oversized OEM openings)...i've been lookin and thought i'd ask about any nice coaxials u guys had experience with...

like the topic says i need some recommendations for a new box for my maw15. right now i have it sealed at 2.2cuft. after displacements, and while it sounds nice, just dissapointed with the output. was hoping to like it sealed as i like the flatter response of sealed boxes little more than ported, but after awhile of listening to it i'm starting to find myself turning off the radio cause i'm a little pissed:( hu settings are fine, amps fine but it's the response i'm getting that's letting me down. problem i'm getting into is around 90% of songs on any given cd (rap/hip-hop) i put in has like no response at all, then others will just slam. don't get it, same cd's will play …

i am going to buy an audioque 3500d soon..........i want to do a 2 15 setup in an envoy........i am planning either audioque hdc3s or dc lvl 4xls ......which do you think and why........thanks

Hey, everyone. Im looking into getting either AA Mayhem 15 d2 or AA Havoc 18 d2 or d1 depending on how much power it can take daily. Amp is Hifonics BRZ2400.1D and I read that the Havocs have a power handling of 1250W rms. I wanna know if I can power the Havoc with the full 2400W or if I would need to wire to 2ohm for 1700W. Also, would either of these numbers be too much power for daily use? The car it is going in is a pontiac vibe and has about 24cuft of cargo area for the box so I dont think Ill have problems fitting the box in the car. But, Ive also read that certain setups are better for certain cars and idk how to tell since Im quite new at this. If anyone knows a p…

I got my brand new DC lvl 3 15" today. To start off i have to say the build quality is very good! It has 5 stiff spiders. Everything looks similar to what would be on an Fi sub/Ascendant/Sundown.. As for entry level. On to the sound... The low end is killer, top isn't as nice.. Dosnt play anything too audiable from 65hz and up. Enclosure is 7.2^ft gross, 3.7 cubic ft net tuned at 30hz, peaking at 45hz. Power handling on 2200rms isn't at its best but it can definatly take it for short burps/demos. I would recomend around 800rms to get this thing moving good. Overall it is a good sub and can get loud. Dosn't have the SQ of my old Fi Q but maybe its the enclosure... Output-7…

Are they a good pair for eachother? SEAS Prestige CA22RNX (H1288) 8" Coated Paper Cone's are said to play 30hz-3000hz the ddt tweets say 2000hz-22000hz

I changed amps on my Front stage recently and it sounds like absolute garbage now. I went from ~100wrms to over 200 on tap (not sure if I'm using all of it) and it's sooooo muddy now. I thought the amp was distorting so I turned the gain down til it sounded decent but it's way quieter than.before. I had to turn my high pass up to about 100hz (from 80, but I partially expected this) and aim the tweeters at the floor to get it to sound acceptable. To top it off...it isn't even louder. I'm under the assumption that my drivers can't handle the power but other than that I'm stumped.

i plan to buy a sundown audio sd-2 12 dual 2 ohm and wil be running with autotek mm1-1500d. at 1 ohm in a 7 seated car toyota noah which is the best box can i make for it ported

ok. i built my boxes (still unsure about the subs), and the port came out looking funny. I'm almost sure, but just to be extra sure, i figured someone could help me out. when i ported my boxes, i took the cubic inches of a different boxe's port (3 cubes at 34 htz) and used the same on my 3 cube box (also at 34 htz) the difference is that it isnt as deep, but longer... even though the dimensions are different, because they both have the same cubic inches of port, it's still tuned to the same freq, correct? thanks

what to know what people think about the e8's. I would like to keep a lower wattage system. I did see a video that someone did a 149db on one of them.

So I have been looking for a midbass driver for a long time now to add to my Diamond Hex comps. I would still like to get my hands on some SI 8" drivers (hopefully they haven't been abandoned). But for now I am getting in on the RE group buy and gonna try the XXX6.5". But it leads me to have to find good xover for them. ANyone got a suggestion? Anyone at SI wanna build one for me by chance???

Hello everyone i am new as u can see by this being my first post. I am looking to upgrade my system right now i have x2 D3 15in subs at 2 ohms on a kenwood Kac 9105D 1800W and i was loking to go with the x1 new fully loaded FI BTL N2 18 or 2 15in Sundown audio v2 Z the amp i am going to get is the SAZ 2500D just wanted to know your opinions and what you think would be best ... o yeah almost forgot the system is going in a 99 ford taurus

4 maw10's in a single cab chevy running off an ED nine.1. Does that sound like a good setup to you guys?

I like being able to comfortably fit two golf bags & pull carts in my trunk. A free air install in the rear deck would allow me to retain the vast majority of my cavernous trunk. Having only played with the idea in a large enough wall enclosure that it may as well have been free-air, I'd like to hear experiences. It wouldn't be a huge loss to tuck a 1.5' box in the trunk, so if infinite baffle is more trouble then it's worth, please say so. TIA Nick woofer specs: FS: 47hz Qts 0.593 Qes 0.635 Qms 8.935 Vas 3.34L Wrms 500 The suspension & motor control are strong. I know what BassBoxPro says, I also know its incredibly outdated, thank you though.

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.

Hey fellas. My brother called me up yesterday saying his subwoofer was making a funny buzzing noise. The woofer resides in a sealed box we made for his truck (custom console). He said that he hadn't driven his truck in about 3 weeks, and when he had driven it last it hadn't made any noises. I was there when we installed about a year ago, and it sounded wonderful actually. The woofer in question is a IA Death Row, wired to 1-ohm. Since I live a few states over, I had him take the woofer out of the box and put a meter on the coils. Both of the coils read fine as they would brand new. I told him to press on the cone to see if he could hear/feel any rubbing. He said n…

As the topic says, thinking about powering two 15's off a buttkicker bka1000-4A amp. 2000w@2ohm 1000w @ 4ohm but I

HI guys my review is in the review section.... http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...showtopic=19852

been looking at the audiopipe horn and bullet tweeters...wondering if they are any decent, and what is the advantage of horn or bullets over regular tweets

Well my friend was cleaning out his garage and was throwing a bunch of stuff out. He had this Eclipse sub in some hideous box and didn't want it anymore. So I just took the sub and left the box there. He had it connected in his car for about a week and it worked, but it had a tear in the rubber surround. I think while taking it out of the box I also broke one of the terminals. Is there anything I can do to save the sub? Will I have to get a recone? I'm not exactly sure when you need to recone a sub, I searched and found a ton of threads with people needing subs reconed but I don't when it's really needed. Here are some pics I snapped of the sub.
