Subwoofers / Speakers

I'm sure I won't be dissapointed with the new one, but if the claw is in perfect working condition and I sold it for a new one, how big of a differance is there? I would rather send in the claw and get it a face lift with all new SID2 parts, but I'm sure that would cost consideralbly more that a new one and more than I got. I'm also considering it just to get something new. I tried an avalanche, did not compare, type r (just cause) sounded good, but not a mag. But in order to get a new SID2, the claw would have to be sold. Hmmmm what to do.......

In terms of loudness, in a ported box tuned to 34 Hz, which would be louder? Mach5 IXL 10 or RE SX 10"? I know the Mach5 is cheaper, and can fit in a tighter box but I hate that it comes in Dual 2 Ohm. I wish it were Dual 4's. I've seen a review here where the Mach5 SPL got metered and was fairly high with the RE MT. If there's someone here who has heard both(IXL 10" & RE SX 10") please answer.

okay, i can't see a difference with this these two sets at all so i was wondering if you would be able to see. they have different prices and different item numbers, but it appears to be the same product. http://www.woofersetc.com/p-9073-cmx-465-extreme-kick-rainbow-power-cmx-65-kick-double-woofer-component-system.aspx and this one http://www.woofersetc.com/p-7471-cmx-465-extreme-rainbow-power-cmx-65-double-woofer-component-system.aspx

I pulled the box out of my hatch today to find that there's a hole in the surround. Not sure if it was ripped out or rubbed though from having stuff against the sub while playing. I was wondering if it could be repaired by me or would I have to send it in for repair, in which case it wouldn't be worth it since shipped and repair cost would be more than the $100 shipped I paid for the sub. Good excuse to move up to a 10" I guess...if I can't make the repair myself.

Hi, I'm going to order my first Sundown sub))) And want to start from 8 inch, but I don't know which one to choose, D2 or D4??? I don't have an amp right now and box, want to buy sub first. Any suggestions? Thanks

hey guys, im getting ready to order a Kicker KX700.5 to run my components and a sub (possibly a MAW-15). I was curious if you guys think 400 watts would be enough to push the MAW-15 in a 2.2 ft^3 sealed enclosure. i tried searching over on caraudio.com, but couldn't really find much, so i figured i would ask here first. thanks for any help.

Ok guys. Subs are in the mail. Mono and 4 Channel amp will come with my next two checks. (RE SEx 12, AQ1200D, AQ4x90) As for the money I have now, I need 2 pairs of speakers. I have an Explorer, so 6x9's are out. I'm leaning towards 6.5 coaxials for the front, and either a cheaper pair of 6.5's or 6x8's for a rear fill. There is a hole already made for a tweeter in the door (as the car has a system in it already), so components would be a great choice, EXCEPT....I'm working in a semi-limited budget (not willing to spend more than 160 on both pairs). With all that said, I have two choices picked out. Rockford Fosgate T1652 for front, and P1653 for rear. Still a skeptic tho…

First off let me say that I love the look of the old SI Magnum especially the Claw basket. The new SI D2 looks ok, but besides looks is there big differences in the models? The new one looks to have less cone area (maybe more similar to a 10" cone and a huge surround.) I'm sure there is a thread describing the newer driver, but how about a comparison? Advantages? Disadvantages? General differences? PS.. The 8"s never materialized .. any future plans for those, or 10"s?? The Hammer

These speakers have sewn on leads, and I cannot find out the wire size. I cannot find it on the website, and I have tried to Google it, etc. Does anybody know the wire size? IE: what gauge it is.

hey guys how big of a difference will there be between the 2 pbx12's i have now and the pbx 15's. all of this is in a mazda protege hatchback and i wanna know will the 15's make a bigger difference than the 12's the amp is an orion 2500d. thanks guys

Anyone know if I can get another sticker for the cone for my SSA XCON 15? It came off when I was vacuuming my truck lol

i need opinions which is gonna hit the high medium and lows the best

So, lately Ive been asking a lot of questions about subs that I've been interested in. I've narrowed down the subs to just two choices 2 Sundown SA-12s or 2 Fi SSD 12s. After purchasing the subs I plan to build a ported enclosure and purchase an amp. I want loud subs with deep bass. Tell me which subs you would go with and why. Also if you'd have experience with either subs. Also would like to purchase an amp under 300$ that's 1200-2000 watts any suggestions. Thanks.

Hello all. Like the new front page Very nice Had a little test at the Talk Audio Guildford Meet on Sunday. With my Vectras rushed boot install. Sorry this is one of my worst ever installs. I`m ashamed to show it. But it is loud!!! Yes that`s an Orion 5000d running @ a 1ohm load to those two 12" Baby Mags. Here are the scores: Peak Freeq = 142.3dB @ 20Hz 40 Hz= 141.4dB 33 Hz= 141.5dB 25 Hz= 141.4dB 20 Hz= 142.3dB Total Average score = 141.7dB Very Happy with those scores :earmuffs: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As for the Escort. I`ve another 15" Mag on it`s way to me Thanks to Nick …

well i had the day off of work and class today and was boared as hell. so i decided to make a new face for the front of the box the IA was in which is around 3.5CF with a big ass 4" slot port.i also installed a little oldschool kicker zr240 amp (clamped 475watts) and ran it with a 2 ohm load. im VERY surprised. the sub itself doesnt really move all that much and it gets lowwwwwwww. the range of hz it was low and powerful id say was between 20 and 38hz. everything else was ok. anyways i thought id fill you guys in on whats been going on with the danger ranger. i didnt get the mustang back today either b/c i had to buy a new starter and the mechanic cant install it till tom…

I was needing some opinions on what kind of enclosure I should buy considering I'm not a carpenter I'm looking to purchase 2 RE SE12 Subs w/Hifonics Bxi1606d amp.. I'm going to put this Bumping machine in a 1993 Nissan Pickup D21 extended cab got a credit card so that would be affordable with tax returns coming around.. All opinions welcome

Ok I have a IA 40.1 and need two 15 inch subs that will handle 2k rms each daily? I play a lot of screwed & chopped mixtapes so keep that In mind as low frequency extension is key in this install.. thanks

I've been an OZ Audio for the past 13 years. Unfortunately, they are no longer making speakers. I've been looking for a new company to go with as far as speakers and have been hearing a lot of good things about Hybrid. I can't seem to find any specs on the Legatia Pro series? Specifically the 6.5" comp set (or 7.1?). My speaker locations have a very limited outer diameter and mounting depth. Thanks

From my post on the meca official team smoke xtreme thread Guys i would officially like to welcome Stereo Integrity on board with Team Smoke Xtreme for the 2006 season. Nick is gracious enough to give us great drivers, unlimited tech support, as many recones as needed, and all and all a nice friend in the industry. All team members shoudl consider switching to these drivers since Nick is going to try and support our ENTIRE team. Members of the team are not required to use these subs, but are ENCOURAGED to. Mr. Lemmons is a great guy to deal with and is decently close to the core of the team. He is located in Mooresville, NC. I personally drove to his houe to pick up my 12…

Sorry i am just so excited like a kid on christmas, they were waiting for me on my door when i got home from the gym, mannnnn these things are soo beefy, i own some DD 1008's and thought nothing else could touch them until i opened these up, they are built like a brick shithouse! my wife couldnt even pick 1 of them up, i cant wait to break them in and then cause some chaos, btw im going with a sundown 1200D, but still need someone to build me a box im horrible with that stuff

So my 2 mags are finally installed, but they don't sound right at all. And it's bc I'm an idiot. :thud: I think the gains are too low, but I need to know what the gain knob is on a tantrum 1200.1. Is it the sensitivity knob? And does the gain go higher as you turn it from .2 to 4. It is on .2 now, and it sounds terrible, like everything is just rumbling together. The kick drums don't sound right at all. I don't hear a distinct punch for each kick. I know it has something to do with the amp settings, bc these are magnums we are talking about. Also, I was driving around last night, and my lights didn't dim or blink at all, so that may be indication that the gains …

Hi, people! I've been sending some e-mails to SI lately, but have been getting zero response because I get a delivery failure notification. If somebody can tell me how to reach these guys, I'd be very thankful. The subject is getting a SI Magnum D2 15" sent to me in Norway, and possibly getting myself a dealer status if it's possible. Norway needs some better equipment than Pyle/Boss/Sony/MTX etc... By the way - just out of curiousity - which is better: The Stereo Integrity D2 15", or the SoundSplinter RL-p 15". The RL-p's cost less than half, but seems quite good after what I've heard. Is the SPL and SQ comparable between these two, and what about the durability? In my …

I got 2 18" Level 4 XL's. I was in reno staying at the silver legacy having fun lol and I placed an order with rusty not only did he making them quickly for me he also went out of his way and delivered them to my hotel which was hella cool since I dont know reno to well. He also played his system for me which was crazy loud and sounded incredibly clean. DC subs FTW.. These are some sick ass subs I cant wait to install them.

Ok I am majorly confused about about how to do a good front stage. Just to give you an idea I am planning on getting a 18" BTL with the SD3000D in a 8 cubic foot box. I have boon looking at all kinds of speaker and I want to get a set of 6.5" components with 1" tweeters. I will probably go passive for now because it is easier and im not that SQ oriented. I mainly want something that will keep up with the sub. So what is all this 2-3-4 way stuff it has me so confused. What is better and why? Also I have 6x9's in the rear deck but I have heard rear fill sounds like chit with subs. So would it be good to get like a set of 8" or 10" midbass drivers to mount back there?

Ok I'm a old db drag competitor since 97 to 02 .I want to get back in to it a little bit .I want to hit a 150db's on the new Mic's . I have a set of the old VFL'S extremes 15's.I want to change them in to FI BL's can that be done ? All this is going in to a Buick raininer.amps, are powerbass new 5000D's two or maybe four of them.
