Subwoofers / Speakers

It's for a friends car stereo, he's got an all eclipse system with an XA-1000 amp (~500w RMS @ 2ohms) that will be powering a MAw15 in a ~3cf box tuned to 33hz. 14.5x2.5" slot port 24" long. Overall box dims will be 29x16x16. Should do quite nicely in his 99 civic coupe I'm kinda sad it's not for me though lol. Pics when we actually start building

Ok heres whats on the table. Its either going to be a new FI sp4v2 18 or the beloved SSA evil 18. Sub would be dual 1 for coils. Ran on a synergy 35.1 at half ohm in a box thats 7.5 cubes tuned to 32hz. It is ran daily. Its played daily. Rarely sees full tilt unless its for demos. But im also going to start entering all the competitions i can locally and possibly slamology this year. Opinions what would net me a higher spl score between the two? If any difference at all. Sub one way or another will get ordered wednsday night so help a brother out!

Check this out. A true point source 3-way driver. Be interested in how they sound. http://www.madisound.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi...16&pid=2201

which brand of subs do you think is best? of course fi is one of them lol! and how much did you get it? durable(long lasting) worth spending your money on in short it's worth it. its quality is proportional to its price or cheaper. a clear but loud sub. if you want to listen to some music you can, and if you want to get loud it is capable of doing so.. about 1000 rms thanks everyone!

I want a pair of low budget speakers and believe it or not walmart actually has some decent ones. tell me which ones you would get or if you would even get them. or any other opinion on them. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?...uct_id=10569320 http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?...uct_id=10765456

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?

How do you wire dd subs to the amp???

Heres the situation...I have Boston Acoustic NX67 (around 5yrs old) in the back of my rsx. The problem is that when i raise the volume on my Alpine 9807 HU to around 15 at 200hz, mid-range +4 I get severe distortion from these speakers. A ppi 2240 amp is powering both these speakers and the front CDT Classic Components. The Comps sound beautiful at this volume, you can really here the mids and highs articulate and hereinlies the problem. I want to be able to play my deck at this volume at this specific x-over frequency (200hz) without the rears distorting. Would I be best suited to 1.) replace the boston coaxials with a speaker that can handle higher rms, 2.) replace…

i just got my 15" audiobahn aw1508t and i dont know to wire it. can someone help me

i have a little problem in choosing which sub and how many. right now my setup in a singer 250amp alternator 6 phase with a dc audio 3.5k and a single IA DR upgraded goodies 15d1 in a 3.27cubic box before sub displacement my question is which 1 10" weather it be the xcon or icon could handle the power from a dc audio 3.5k after break in time. and still have a little room to shine or im debating getting 2 10" or a single 12". my problem is idk what kind of power people are giving the subs before they get "toasty" and want to "send out smoke signals" thank you in advance for your help

just wanted to know if anyone is having any sucess. i interested in doing an spl12/3000d combo

I will be building my own box for the subwoofer, however, I would like to know which subwoofer would work best with the amp I have. Infinity Reference 611A 456 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms (657 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms) Which do you guys think I should go with? I know that a larger box will require the subwoofer to take less power, so, in addition to which subwoofer you think I should go with, what box dimensions should I use? I've heard only good about Mach5 subwoofers, so I want to have my very own

any one ever use a 12insh si mag claw? i have one that is a v1 with a v3 soft part recone. it has not seen power. i have a box allmostrdone. its 2 cubic feet net tune to 32 Hz. i have a audioque 1200d. s hity sealed box keeping my sub safe.lol

Has anyone had them? I'm looking at a minor upgrade from a MAW12. I've got that ported 2ft box @28hz. This one's mint. I've got a 450w amp at 2ohm's and this PXW 1542 is a dual 4 but rated 600-1000w. I like the sound of the 15's, seems much deeper, not sure if it's be louder. I did have a Clarion Deck in the past and was disappointed.

What is the recommended enclosure for the PBX XS15 with the 280oz magnet? What enclosure do these work best in? What sub would you compare these to?

I am looking for a 6.5" midrange/midbass set , I have about a 250 dollar budget. I am using the sony amp in signature but will be switching to a Massive audio 100.4 late on. Thanks for suggestions

I have a 08 Tundra that I want to push two 10's in a ported enclosure the SD's would save me some space but my issue is I don't mind losing some leg room for the SA's but will my Arc Audio 2500 XXK at 1150 watts of clean power be enough to push SA's? or will It push the SD's more efficiantly. In other words what is better for this amp SD's or SA's this thing is new in the box I've had it lying around for a while it's a good amp and my budget can't afford a newer more powerful one

right now i have a AQ hd3 12 that i am running with 1800 watts at 2ohm. the box it is in is 2.5 tuned at 32hz. i am wondering if a sundown nightshade ran at 1ohm with 2400watss goin to it in the same box would be louder? this is a DD not no fart machine.

Quick question. I currently own a Kicker L7 and am looking to get a new system. I'm thinking of getting two 12' MTX 8500's with a 1,000 watt amp. I can get them for $110 each through MTX, which is why I'm really not looking at other brands though they may be a little better. I'm a metal head so I'll be putting them in a sealed enclosure. I'm told these will hit hard but will also stay clean which is what I'm going for. Does anyone own or have any experience with these subs? Am I crazy to not get them for the price? Would I be better off getting Kicker CVX's for $20 more? Any feedback would be great.

I currently have a hifonics 1500.1 and a Fi bl 15. As I was listening to it today, the sub cut out and started to make a crackling noise. When I turned the volume down really low, the bass became normal again, but then I tried to turn the volume up a little it began to make the crackling noise again. Duly think I could have blown the coils? Could it be a rca problem? Could the wires in the box come loose? Any feedback is appreciated, thank you.

words cant describe this sub it is the most awsome sub i have owned and gets so low and loud with my punk ass rockford power bd500. i cant wait to put some more power to it to see what it does, i will try to post some pics of the box soon but here is one or two of the mag in its awsomeness. thanks yall!

good news for me. seems like there will be an re audio and adire audio in romania which one of adire's or re's subs competes to the rl-i 10 ? seems to me like koda 10 would be a contender in the rl-i price range... i have to talk to the dealer, maybe he can find a way to import an ss *fingers crossed*

Hey guys, first post. I just picked up a 2012 gmc. It needs a system. I want it to out do my four door integra (alpine type s components on Kicker 250.2, DD 1512 in pre fab ported box on 750 watts rms.) I'm thinking two SA 8 v.2, RE XXX6.5 components. I already have the head unit, Sony XAV-63. What do you guys think?

So I was getting ready and doing some research about my new truck before I bought speakers and I found an interesting fact........ I have a new 2014 F150 and it has rear speakers, door speakers and tweeters. Door speakers get the full channel, tweeters also get the full channel with a capacitor or resistor to cancel the low frequencies. There is no factory cross - over. I am not going to amp this set of speakers because I am concerened about my hearing listening to loud music all the time. Anyways so all I was going to do was replace the door speaker with a coax speaker and replace the tweeter with just a better one. Will I get too much high range with a coax speaker …

i have just killed an SE after a dodgy binding post causing the amp to send 850w to a single coil! and im considering a 12 SI magnum. bearing in mind, the SE12 was receiving 1250w rms, and did 135.9(termlab) in an SUV in a 1.8cu ft box tuned to 30hz. what can i expect from an magnum running off 850w rms?? i have been told they are efficient? but are they efficient enough to out do the SE the SI will go in a similar if not the same box. what can i expect? SPL and SQ wise? what sort of box would suit it best? thanks in advance
