Subwoofers / Speakers

Just curious ... anyone try their Mag in a properly designed bandpass box? Just curious, that's all. My guess is no ... but hey, who knows. Just because everyone has had such awesome results either ported or sealed ... - Steve

low-hz absolutely refuse to ship anything to me (i`m in Norway as in Europe), and www.innovativerides.com links me right back to SI`s website. are you keeping these subs strictly whit in US borders or something? some military secrets or something you put in them maybe? but seriously. i want 2 new BM`s but don't know how to get`em. any help is welcome here.. thanks steve

oK I WENT TO THIS LIL audio shop today and dude had 2 18in rockfords the rfp-1818, the older ones, and he was sellin them for 150 a piece, the cones where a lil ripped but he said they played fine and i could bring them back if they didnt. I cant find the description of them on the net. Does anyone know how many watts they are he said 600rms but i doubt it. Plus they are 8ohm subs.. Do u guys think this is a good deal? If so i'll go get em

if i have two dual 4 ohm subs going into a 1 chanel mono amp..what would be the diference with wiring paralel as opose to just hooking up one voice coil to another negative to negative positive to positive and then hooking to the amp

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?

Another round of testing done this past weekend. This time, using the MJ-18 in a 250 litre Sono-like tube. Check it out if you have a moment: http://testbed.mach5audio.com Best regards, Mark

I'm driving to work,all of a sudden NO bass.Well I get to work,pop the trunk and see the sub sitting upright next to box.The driver came loose from the box,I could not believe my eyes.Later that evening when I got home I screwed the sub back onto the box,turned the system on,went back to trunk,all I hear is rattling.Man I'm so pissed,anyways I emailed Nick to find out how much it would cost to fix,lets see what happens.Man I love that sub and just got the Brutus for it too,just had to let it out,thanx for listening !

alright, so somehow the basket on my ns just broke like a 3" long peice off, only thing that is holding it on is the surround that is stuck to it. i googled how to do a recone and found this. [How To] Build or recone a speaker - Realm of Excursion i used a search on here and didnt find anything so i figured i would post this up for peoples information. if this is against the rules then by all means delete it. im not sure how that works. hope this helps somebody as much as its going to help me.

Greets all. I am considering options for an impending install (my first) in my 2002 Nissan Sentra. My goal is a simple, yet good sounding front stage with simple and space saving low frequencies. Specifically, I'll be listening to a set of the $75 Cadence components up front and a yet to be determined sub system driven by a Cadence TXA6004 4-channel amp. Looking at the specs for the MLI-65, it would seem that they might work well in an infinite baffle alignment in the 6 1/2" holes on the back deck(parcel shelf?). I need all my trunk space for work and don't want to get into building a custom fiberglass enclosure. I am not looking for molar loosening bass, just some low …

I was contemplating on which i would rather have. I was wondering if i should go with two Sa12s or a single zv3 15. Currently i have a Fi Bl 15 being powered with a Hifonics BRE 1700.1. My box size is going to have to stay around 3.5 cubes because of my limited trunk space in my 2010 Malibu. So would you guys prefer 2 sa12s or the single 15? P.s. I lean more towards lows, would the Sa's get very low?

So I an installing four I hope anyways E8's but magnet diameter and true mounting depth matter. I am putting these under the rear seat of a 2011 Titan king cab and am in the process of building the box the max. At this point I am actually settling on the E series due to the fact that the SA r so damn big. Now if these subs magnets are in fact to large what would be a viable 8 to use in the truck. Power wise right now is a Lil wonder 3 that says it makes 2600 at 1 ohm. But, I might also be looking at other options for amplification. As of right now the box has a total volume of 2.51 FT^3 and I will accommadate port size to tune to what ever sub I get. Many thanks in…

What are these worth anymore gentlemen? These are mine that came with the truck I bought.. the model99 zed amps above have already been sold... trying to sell the subs now.

ok first off i have 2 maw 15's in a sealed box.. not the loudest setup but it sounds damn good! anyways i have a few things i have been thinking about trying.. 1) 2 external aero ports (tuned to 30hz)(size? amount?) the box is 5.7 cu ft (inside the wood) not sure o sub displacement.. and option 2) i just use one maw 15 and port it to 30 hz.. which would get the loudest? ok and just today my subs quit playing the beat of the music and had a really faint thump that kept going.. the speakers in my car were still fine. im thinking its something with my rca's.. also b4 this happened my sub would go into what i thought was protect mode. when i woud start my car for the first ti…

Hi guys, Haven't been on here for a while. I'm wondering if someone would be able to design me a box for my first gen. Mag 15" that would be a perfect cube of 3.5cf (internal) with a 28hz port. I've been trying hard to figure it out but it just doesn't work. Thanks, Max

Yep, so I just got done with my box for an Eclipse Ti 12" and wow, I could not be anymore frustrated or upset. Just wow.........It sounds like complete as*. Box is 1.25^3 net, and the sub is getting about 300 watts. It just sounds so, punchie way way way way to punchie not enough deep bass. I don't care that I lost output, I expected that but for the love of god when you go to sealed it's suppose to be SQ dam*it. I dunno, I'm about to go get some polly fill and see if that helps the problem sorry for the childish post but I'm just really upset right now.

Help be decide which sub's is better for my project. I want to do a blow through in a 2006 ford f-150 super crew. This past weekend I heard two addictive audio aa15v3 in a ford ranger, it sounded really good.But, I have never heard a Fi BTL. What do you guys think? What is a better sub? Has anyone heard both sub's? The only think that draws my attention of the addicive audio is that it has a warranty for three years, and I don't know if Fi has any warranty or not.

on my sundown sa 8 v.2 the dust cap gets really hot? is this caused by the voice coil being hot also why does it tend to clip (bottom out) when its straight up more then it does down or at a 45 degree angle? i have this in a .28 cubic foot sealed box in a apk 2500 watt amp and i cant figure out how to get it to sound crisp and clean

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.

One of my Vifa's quit playing last night. Not blown, but was cutting in/out. Wiring is fine. I had this problem with one right out of the box. If you wiggle the speaker lead it'll come back on. I'm actually using this as an excuse to try a new set of tweets I run 2 AA poly mids per door and I'm very happy with them and the Vifa's seemed to compliment them well. I'm no audio snob obviously and not looking for THE best there is. I'd just like to try something a little brighter as I found the Vifa's to be rather laid back, which was fine for most music, but on most rock, the cymbals were very quiet/muted. I don't want "in your face" tweets either, just a step or 2 above w…

I've got an IXL18.4 and I'm thinking about trying it in my car. I would only have 3 cubic feet of volume to work with and it would be running off of 750 watts (Audison LRx 5.1K). How would that sound? Would it be peaky? Would I be able to blend it well enough to call it musical? I appreciate all the input you can offer. I don't have a ton of spare time to experiment so if you don't think this will work well I'll probably just install the JL 12w6v2 that I was originally intending on using.

For SPL use only what in your opinion is the best 12" sub for comp. use and what type of power will they take.

Hey, my friend was given a sub that nobody has been able to identify. It's a 15" w/ a standard 4 spoke aluminum basket, triple stacked mags and i believe d2 voice coil config. on the front it is very standard looking with a normal convex dustcap that has a bunch of weird graphics in white and the logo of a company that i know that i have seen before. It looks like a diamond shpe thats half black and half white, with a smaller diamond inside of it that is the same but the color is opposite on each side. gonna try and get some pics up tomorrow. this thing is beefy and we need to come up with a better box for it

I'm looking to get rid of my Atlas and find something that will work within this situation: I have 450w @ 4ohms to power the sub, needs to work in an enclosure no bigger than 2.5 cubes gross (the smaller the better), I would like something that will play into the 20hz range as flat as possible, and I'm looking to keep the price of the sub below $150 (or whatever I get for the Atlas). Sealed or ported, as long as I can package the whole deal within 2.5 cubes, I'll be good to go.

Hey, I was wondering what you guys think of this idea. I've seen it done before and think it's awesome. At the back of my trunk (back as in back of the car) there is a small slightly recessed "well" on each side (Taurus). I have seen an install of a pair of small subs, one on each side, and thought it was pretty cool. I'm fairly new to fiberglassing but I pick up things pretty fast and I think I could pull this off. Basically I want it to look unique, custom but still OEM-style, and pound hard, yet still offer the trunk space I need for long trips. My concerns: 1. When the subs are installed opposing each other in the wells like this, will them pointing at each other canc…

Suggestions? I'm not really sure what I want to do. I was thinking along the lines of one 1000w or better per coil if the price is right. Full wall or half wall, I'm not sure yet but it will not be a trunk car and that's for damn sure. I can get batteries and alts etc not worried about that part. I've been checking into custom fabricated drivers but I'm not sure this particular person can make a 4000w+ quad coil. No particular reason for the quad coils or four amps.. just have a thing for the number four. Its even and featured on the common dice..
