Subwoofers / Speakers

Haven't been around in awhile just though i would throw my new vid up and let yall check it out. Its the same system but i got a yellow top up front now. Im getting a HD video camera for christmas so ill have better ones up soon. Systems in the sig.

Gotta 92 deville and Im just trying to get the best bang for my buck. The seats dont fold down at all and it has that big ass metal piece blocking most all of the sound from getn into the cabin. So Im looking for a sub that gets loud and is able to take them lows. Im most likely going to have it port tuned at 32-34 hz.. Im leaning towards a fully loaded 12" FI Q, But Ive been looking at the 12 IA LI's also, They seem to get really loud and take the lows... Or possibly a SA 12? Whats ur opinion?

My box isnt carpeted, so maybe thats the problem, but whats the best way to make sure you get a good seal? I just noticed there is some vibration in the rim around one of the screws on my fi. ive tried looking for silicone but i cant find anything that stays pliable and doesnt act like glue

Hey guys, Im looking to start a new build. Im looking for HARD hitting bass, but also the ability to play rock music well. I was originally set of AQ HDC3 18's, but came acros the IXL's. How would they compare. I live in Canada so buying froma canadian company would be nice. I plan to build a wall for whatever subs I go with behind the second row, with 3 8" aeros. What kinda tune would the IXL's like? Has anyone ever tried them, Id love to see some builds or videos!!! I have about 14 cubes to play with. Power will come from a Visonik V4000XD modded to play @ 1ohm 3500+ @ 2ohm, little more @ 1 ohm Id imagine Apprecaite any insight, as this seems to be the top Mach5 forum…

would the icon 12 work well on 600 watts? gonna be powering it with a rsd600.1 box will be 2 cubes tuned to 32 hz

i was just wanting some other peoples opinions on the subs i have. i have 2 memphis mojo 10s. a couple people i talked to, said that they arent that great. just wanting to see what other people thought

Hey, everyone. On www.sonicelectronix.com, i have found a pair of Alpine Type-X reference series component speakers that, including dynomat and baffles, will run me about 200 dollars out the door. These speakers are running 300 dollars for just the speakers on Alpine's site. The only problem is there is no shops around that have these speakers available to listen to.... What are your opinions on this speaker and would you have any other recomendations (perferably costing less money?). At the moment i am running stock 5X7's in both the doors and the rear deck so anything will be an improvement. I want something with a high quality sound and i've heard go…

I have a 2002 Chevy trailblazer, Boston acoustic 4 channel amp powering the b.a. interiors. I also have a kinetic hc800 to help power the jl1000v2 which is 1000rms. but i need some help choosing subs. i have a suv so the box size is virtually unlimited, i want something that hits rlly hard so i can have some bragging rights. i was thinkin maybe 2 15's but have no idea what kind i should get. money is not a factor i will spent what it takes to bump as hard as i can with 1000rms. HELP ME!!!!!

Hello to everyone and thanks in advance for any help I may receive. My son has a 98 four door Jeep Cherokee. He has a Pioneer 3100 deck with 6.5 Pioneer speakers in front doors and back cargo area. He has asked for an amp and subs for xmas. Here is where I am an idiot. I have been reading but just can not get a good feel of quality subs. As you can see it is a Cherokee with Pioneer stuff so I am not looking for top of the line. Here are my questions. He wants two 10's, does this sound reasonable for this vehicle? They will be in a box in the cargo area. Also how many watts should he have for good SQ but also get some boom for his friends? He has stock charging system. I …

Hey Mark, Just curious how much it would cost to get one of my Mach 5 SPL-12s fixed. It fell in my box, and cracked the basket. My dad and I used some epoxy and got the basket as true as it could be before we epoxied it, however I'd like to get it repaired right. It would need a new recone and basket I would think. Are you able to repair your subs, and if you can, how much would you figure it would cost?

got a buddy that wants to get a good loud system, looking for a good 18" for loud daily probably in the $500 - $600 range give or take. Vehicle is undetermined for now, most likely an SUV, possibly a small hatchback sports car, either way will slot port and tune around 35Hz. probably get a HO alt, 2 AGM batts, and a BXi2608D as I've learned thats the best cheap way to go. Fully loaded BTL daily option is what we're lookin at now, but want to know what else is in this category? Thanks all! Krypto

Ok, so I already have two 12" Alpine Type R's. I am deciding that it is about time to finally upgrade the sound system. These are the three plans I am coming up with: 1) Buy two more Type R's and another amp, and run four twelves. 2) Sell the R's and the amp and buy two more powerful 12's and a new amp. 3) Sell the R's and the amp and buy two 15's and a new amp. This is all in a 1993 Range Rover LWB.

I have to decided to just go with a front stage in my car instead of a set of components for the front and the rear. I am thinking of a 3 way because I have my subs crossed at 60 Hz and want a little more midbass. I am going for an SQ setup and listen to everything, but I generally like heavier midbass, warm midrange, and softer highs. I have a 2004 Tahoe with an Alpine IVA-W505 up front with a Audiocontrol DQXS for when I can run active. I have eDead 120 and SS Damplifier Pro for damping and the subs are 4 ED 13Av.2s ported, tuned to 32 Hz, on an USAmps Ax3200de. The electrical is a 300 Amp Alt., 0 AWG, RF 10 Farad Cap, and 4 Deka Intimidators. I plan on using a Zap…

So to start things off I have a 2000 Silverado ext. Cab. And would like to get away from the Coaxials I have now and put in two sets of Components. My plans are to put both sets of drivers in each one of the doors, two tweeters in the dash, and two tweeters in the back columns. I Personally am a Fan of Pioneer Premiers line of products when it comes to speakers. and this is what im looking to do. Front 6 3/4 Pioneer Premier TS-C720PRS 50w rms 200max Back 5 1/4 Pioneer Premier TS-C520PRS 30w rms 150max For the most part I will be fading the music to the front speakers, the reason i am getting the back is for a little bit of a rear fill, and because I often have people in t…

I was looking at the specs of both subs and they appear similar. I was wondering if these subs are in the same ballpark in terms of goals and design. This is for a daily groundpounder on 1500 watts in a ported box(1.2 cubes) tuned to 33hz and LP at 80hz with subsonic at 30hz/24db. Wondering what the pros and cons are and peoples opinions on which sub is louder and which is cleaner unless either sub is just better in both aspects for this type of set-up. Your opinions are highly valued and appriciated even from those who have no direct experience with both to compare. I listen to mainly house and trance music. Thanks

I've heard people changing sizes of the sub when they do a recone, so I guess my question is how? Don't you need the correct basket size or can you recone a 15 or 18" basket into a 12"?

Im upgrading to 1200 watts soon, so ill either be getting a new single fi bl or q or maybe a second ssd. If i get the second ssd, the new box will obviously fill pretty much my whole trunk. I have a ski hatch that allows air to flow freely from the cabin back to the trunk, and my current setup is noticeably louder with the port open (sub back, port back setup). If i build this new box for 2 12s, would it be smarter to leave some room around the edges of the box and leave some room between the back seats/ski port and the box to continue to allow air to flow into the cabin or should i take advantage of every possible inch of trunk space and forget the whole ski port thin…

so after purchasing the BTL i need to beef up the rest of the system. Im riding in a 2004 Ford Explorer. I was thinking two sets of RF T1572 (power series!). WRMS 70 a piece. thinking about powering them with a JL audio J2 320.4 (60 watts to four speakers.) Wondering if anyone had any experience with either of these products and any suggestions for other full range speakers? im looking to spend about 350-400 for 2 sets of speakers and an amp. I know its kinda cheap.... but oh well. The head unit is the Eclipse CD7200 MKII (soon to be that is =] i just want some and any input before i make this purchase!! thanks

ok so i have a 8" l7 and it has this knock to it from the research ive done im pretty sure the shaft the voicecoil ries on is tweaked a bit so the vc hits it is there any way to repair this? it would be awesome if i can cause then i can trade it and a cheap boss 600w amp for two RE 10's that hit 148 in comp and feedback would be great

Alright so ive decided to take out the 15" q's entirely, and put my back seat back in and get 2 12" subs which will be ported max space is 4.0 cubes, amp is 1200 watts rms at 4 ohm's , 1500 watts at 2 ohms, and its not rated at 1 ohm but i have ran it at one ohm for a couple months on and off with no problems, I have a opima yellowtop up front, and am about to put a kinetik in the trunk, Anyway subs need to be loud but not all out spl and under 350 a piece suggestions??? I want i dont want a one note wonder

Ok so I have one 12" ssd, with 700 watts, and im upgrading to 1200+ watts with the sundown 1200d v.2. Im not sure if I want to buy another ssd and make a new box, or just replace my existing ssd with one sub that can handle the power (and keep my existing box). I was browsing and found the hifonics olympus "olm1612," which does 1600rms bl=11, mms=204, fs=35.5. Given this sub's fs, can I still tune it to 32hz? And what does everyone think about hifonic's subs? I have always known their products, particularly their amps, to be somewhat cheap and overrated.

anyone ever use this sub? how did it perform?

Incriminator Audio Death Row or Fi Q. Looking for powerful lows, solid high end. Basically an all around sub that dominates the low end. Planning on running 2 12"s ported? Thanks for the input.

Well I am not sure what I want here. The level 5 15" woofer can come with several different type of coils -- d.7 d1 d1.4 or d2. If I get d2 then I can wire it to 1 ohm, but then why not just get the d1? Or could I not wire that to 1ohm and it would be pushed to .5 ohms (which I would not prefer doing seeing as SAZ are unstable below .9 ohms I believe). Oh and I am using a SAZ-3500D on a single level 5 15"
