Subwoofers / Speakers

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…

I had a pair of infinity reference 12's I picked up for $50 about six months ago. The guy from the local car audio shop wanted to trade me for his old school 15 inch Cerwin Vega Stroker. I've owned one of these in the past and could never get over how freakin loud they get with so little power.

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

ok i have a 1989 ford ranger super cab and just about all the speakers are busted so obviously ill be upgrading, i know close to nothing about highs, so are there any suggestions, its 4"s in the doors and 6.5"s in the back and ill be making fiberglass panels to fit whichever tweeters i get.

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

Welp... picked up my SPL 12 from the post office today.... damn it's impressive. Unfortunately my comp. car is in storage already... so it'll have to wait a few months before I can play with it If Mark comes out with a 15 though... I can guarantee I'll be picking up a pair of those too!

hey i was wondering were is a good place to buy fiberglass and everything else i need does LOWs have it

Ok so I already have the box it’s 2.5 cubes net per sub. I’m trying to see what specs would be most important for sealed . From what I’m taking lower f3 is important. Currently looking at sundown sa15’s and incriminator audio lethal injection 15 .

I haven't really seen much about this woofer. Anyone have experience with them? T/s parameters? Enclosure specs? 4th order friendly? I might trade my favorite motor to play with one =\

Subs Well there you go... 56k beware tho.. at the end i turn it up a little more.. sadly when i was mountin my 12" back in my box i accidentally slipped and the screw driver went through the soft part... of the cone.. using silicon to fix it tho.. hopefully when i get back from a 5 month vacation nick will recone it for me... atleast i hope so if not i guess ill have to buy 4 15"s and wall it?? or just put em in th eback of my car

Hi guys, I am considering doing an upgrade on my factory speakers. I have a Toyota Yaris Hatchback with a current setup of stock head unit, stock speakers, and a pioneer bass tube (The Pump TS-WX20LPA). I am not into SPL, rather a solid SQ which at least I can impress my friends with and which I can enjoy listening of course. I live in a small country and the choice of brands is rather limited and few shops let you listen to the speakers before actual installation. So I'm counting on you guys to help me in making a good choice Right now on top of my list are the Focal Access 165A or the Kicker KS. I also went to a shop which supplies Hertz (I heard they also make good c…

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…

I just received my xcons and noticed something was different does anyone no of they made changes to it

I'm trying to learn more about setting up my mids/highs & I've been reading a lot of threads about "going active." I think I've got the gist of what it is and how to do it (kind of) but I'm trying to figure out what the benefit is. Is going active and using the HPF & LPF on the amp better than just using the passive x-over that comes with ur components? The only thing I can think of is maybe it's cheaper to buy a midrange and a set of tweets than buying a nice component set....Somebody wanna help me understand this a lil' better?

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 …

So i have cdt comps in the front and i like them at this volume and i only have a 2 channel amp ($$). So...my boston rallys in the rear distort like crazy even when i only run them off the amp and i dont want to run them off the deck cause i like the imaging i got now i just dont like that i cant take the volume past 15 at the mid level i have at 200hz...perhaps its time to replace them? I want some coax that wont distort easy how are these cyrstal audio csx615?

so my new box is going to be 5cu.ft and I think I'm going to tune it to 35hz but will I get more SPL if I go with 2 6" ports or one 6" port? I am going for SPL but it has to hit low to so what do you all think I know the old MJ has a 12mm excursion so I dont know if there's a need for 2 6" ports

whats everyone opinion on this sub and is there anything better?

soo, i'm chillin in the parkin lot wt my buddies and i crank it up its playin, so we hit the strip let the windows down, And then my sub just stops playin :thud: so i go and park my amp is still on i check the wires still nothing so i take the sub out and its scorchin hot but it looks coo, so i push in on the cone and it doesn't move :thud: It is blown but i still havenot checked it to make sure , i gotta check the ohmage of it... Then i gotta hit up dave about it...

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?

Two 15 fi Qs w/ BP would they be able to handle a Sundown saz3000?

I have a kicker L7 in a sealed box (its dumb I already know) and a kicker zx750 I am looking to buy a bigger box ported box (3 cubic feet or so) but have been warned about the lack of quality in some boxes. Which one of these would be a better choice? Option 1 or Option 2 Or are these not the best choices for an enclosure at all?

I found some JL 8w0 subs for 50$$ Worth it ?? They decent subs ? I looking for some cheapys for my mothers car she wants a little thump lol
