Subwoofers / Speakers

I have a mag 12 now in 2.0 cubes at 32. I am trading for a 15, but not sure if I want it ported due to the size requirements. I have heard both sealed and ported 12's and liked both. If I seal the 15 I know it will get lower, but will i lose a lot of output over the ported 12. Both getting 1100 watts from my memphis 1000d. Its in the trunk of a Grand Prix. I listen to everything form Metal to some rap

Hey guys.. I was all set up to do 261's for L&R and a 61 for the center, but now I decided I want to do a 261 there as well.. So at the very least I'd like to get ahold of a PCB for the 261 crossover, or better yet a complete crossover. If I must I'd be willing to buy the whole kit, and then sell or trade my 61 components. I'd assume the extremis is the same in the 61 and 261? Are they still available? I wan't really woried about it until I found out the old speaker kids got cancelled! Thanks guys, really appreciate it..

Hello again, I

so ive been recently looking at two subs the fi ssd and ascendant audio arsenal both 12" what is the big difference between these two? i know that the fi take 800wts and the arsenal 500wts and their mounting depths are close.

im lookin into 2 ES-15Dv.2 subs from them...getting a **** good deal too......will these hit nice....and are they as nice of subs as what everyone says? ....im only puttin 500 to each....but i want them louder than the 8's i had......which i will never purchase anything from that company or even send someone to them.

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

I want to get new 15" subs and im leaning towards getting two 15 type R's. Im mainly looking for spl. I am wondering if i should go with that setup or what do you guys think?

seps - dls amps - rf t6004, rf t1500bd subs - dc lvl 4 with 5 coil

My RL-S 12" arrives tuesday. I made a post on ca.com which I asked for a design for 2-3 cu. ft. and everyone replied saying I need a much larger box. Although, SS and SSA recomends 2 cu ft minimum and 2.5 optimal. Does anyone happen to know what the smallest cu. ft. box I can put this driver in for good results? Not looking for a perfect response curve, just something decent.

Now everyone knows that LR posted his free box of the week on CA and it looks good to me but then again i dont know much about it, he does. is 3.2ft^3 big enough ? hes got it tuned to 32 and that seems so much easier when you have all of the cutout sizes laid out for you in that diagram. im thinking i might want the tuning more at say 29 but im not sure. i was going to go sealed for the easiness of the construction versus ported but im lookingat my options as of now. anyone care to comment?

im planing on putting 2 icon 15's in the back of my explorer... what kinda mids and highs would i need to keep up with the bass? i've only done like small setups before so im not sure what kinda speakers i need, i dont have much of a price range, just wanna make sure my money is spent well and not something crappy. i wanna run them to a sundown 100.4. and suggestions? (btw all the door speakers are 6x8's) thank you for the help

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, new to the forum. Curious if the Icon 15 will go back in production? I used to have an Icon 12, I had it in my shed during switching vehicles, unfortunately it ended up missing along with my whole shed during a hurricane lol I loved the sound of it. Since then Ive been running an old 2010 Fi SSD 12 I had sitting around, in a ported enclosure tuned to 32 hz. Im looking to do a little upgrade, was wondering if the 15 Icon will ever come back? Is it worth getting the Gcon 15 instead?

Here is an old Shocker Sig 18. Notice how big the motor structure is. Looks like a normal 12" sub, not an 18".

Alright, my car peaks at 55hz. I want to get a box made before the 7th. Just going to keep it simple. Port in the middle and lots of it. I'll be using the D6 12s still since recones are going to take a min. I'm going to keep the same configuration. Subs back port back. So...... What tuning to go with? 50ish or what? I'm at work so I can link specs for the diamonds. But if someone posts them, I'll be very happy. This will only be for burps and a temp box. If you want to throw a design in there, that's great too ;-) This is for a trunk car incase some of you didn't know lol.

Hi guys, what's the highest number (TL)you've seen with 4x RE SE 12" ported playing music? and if you know, what was the tuning freq and power? thanks.

Hey guys whats up im doinga build for my ROOM haha. I have a sub in my car why not at home! Ok So i bought a RE SR10-D4 10", here are the specs. I want to Make a slot vented box 1cf tuned 34 hz. Iam going to put 300 rms. Ive built boxes before But i still dont know how to design one on my own so im asking for you guys to help me with the buildcould someone design a box for me i want the sub to be top mounted with the port on the side. I just need a cut out sheet with the dimensions of the box thanks a lot guys billy Specs of the sub * Kraft Pulp Cone * Rubatek Foam Surround * Pressed Steel Basket * 4-layer Copper Voice Coil

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

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.

Hello guys, how's it going? I've been banging with my DCON 12s for a while now and am thinking of stepping up my bass output. I have the DCON's in 1.75 cubes each tuned to 33hz (that's about what I could fit). For what it's worth they have served me pretty well and I've been told my many people they pound. I have them powered by a RF T500. What I'm considering is either 1 Xcon 12 ported or 1 Xcon15 sealed or 2 Sundown SA-12's in an enclosure around the same size I currently have. Either would be powered by a Sundown SAZ-1500D V.2.

i'm stumped and it's buggin the hell outa me... maybe i should make a poll...lol here's the deal, i sold the subs/box i normally run in my truck (the hpo's) i'm not impressed with the xxx in anyway to want to try to fit that as a daily driver... so...do i buy another pair of tens and build another box for under my seat? do i pull my back seat and go large..like 15" large? do i have scott order another solox 10 (is $500 fo them new w/waranty bad?) and buy the pair of those? i'm at a crossroads. i've got a really sweet sub amp (thanks nick), but i have no clue as to what to do. advice? opinions? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I have been scouring the net for a couple days, searching every form of the phrase "Subwoofer design software" and have found nothing but enclosure design programs and port length/size calculators. Anyone know of anything that would help me? Delving into the other side, designing and building my own subwoofer. I don't have the capability to press cones or mold baskets, nothing huge yet. But I'd like to choose my own magnets and construct a motor structure and my own voice coils. I would prefer a graphics-based type of program. And no point in telling me I can't pull this off.. maybe true but I'm the type that will try it anyway and eff with things until I'm defeated or I …

I need help guys. So I bought 2 Fi BL's a couple of months ago and I've gone through 2 hifonics brutus amps. I am currently waiting on a sundown saz3500 that I just ordered. The problem I'm having is the speakers are .7 ohms per coil. How should I wire them to the amp. I dont want to blow another amp. GUYS I am in need of some help please.

So i was thinking of 2 15's fi bl but it seems i will not be able to build the proper box. Don't want to spend money on good subs just for the box to be crap. So i was thinking of 12's. What do i suffer from by getting 2 12's?

has anybody tried them? ProV15 in particular. What's the SQ like on them? Thanks. -C
