Subwoofers / Speakers

So I'm going to try to make a return after about a year of family problems, blown marriages, excessive school, and a lack of the addiction.... I first want to say hi. I'm sorry I haven't been around. I've gone through hell and back with some of life's more rough situations. I stopped logging AIM for a good while and as such, lost contact with many of my very close friends from here. I have a new AIM name: fifteenfeetoff. You can get ahold of me here from now on as I have it on now for pretty much the entire day. I won't be able to be a post whore like I once was, but I lost the time for a great hobbie I had...and I'd like to get that back. I'll be looking at some n…

I can't decide which one would be a better choice. The BLs are supposed to be louder but the Icons have better lows. Decisions, decisions...

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!

Box is small,.6-.75 and is sealed.I know that it won't give out the sort of output like a ported would,but I don't have room for a huge box.Looking for a mix of loud and good sound if that is possible.600rms @2ohm on hand. $150 price,give or take a few bucks.Thinking I can get a decent used one.

I have one JL 10w6v3 dvc 4 ohm and two JL 10w3v3 svc 4 ohm and I'm looking for a 1 ohm load if possible. Any ideas and/or things I should consider? Just FYI, the 10w6d4 is in its own H.O. enclosure and the 2 10w3v3 svc 4 ohm are in their own dual enclosure. Thanks in advance

ok so until i decide to go with the wall in my civic coupe and have enough money i got some new subs from scott (former engineer from RE) and he made me some SE hybrids which are SX's pretty much,i got them for 360 with shipping so i thought it was a pretty good deal.I had him custom make them into dual4 so that i could run them off my nine.1 for now until i decide to get a bigger monoblock or just wait for the whole wall thing when i have enough money.Let me know what you guys think. http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h59/n8te81/newsubs1.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h59/n8te81/newsubs2.jpg

Is 2.5 cu ft too big for a 12" RE Audio SR subwoofer? RE recommends 1.5 cu ft tuned to 35 hz. I have it in a 1.7 cu ft ported box tuned to 30 hz and it doesnt move like its suppose to. I have 400 watts RMS on it. Getting another amplifier is out of the question. I want my sub to be more efficient and have a more extended lower end. I just dont want it to sound bad (or get "boomy"). Thanks

Wanted to see how much power people are putting to the level 4 subs. I am thinking of useing some 12's for a NSPL no wall car and a little bass race setup. I have a few IA40.1's laying around. How much can they handle for Burps and music. Thanks -J

Well Im going to be competing in the stock 601-1800 again next season.. (Competitions are done here till next year) First off the power amount im going to be using not sure.. Im going to try and get much as i can in that class with out linking amps, don't wanna mess with it. So should i go 2 12" subwoofers or one 18" subwoofer with the same amount of power? I was thinking maybe run two 12" btls or two 12" fi bls? Ive also been told try 4 l5's that will get me louder and cost the same as getting 2 btls I have around 5.8 cuft gross to work with. Please suggest subs and what not thanks and no one try and sell me anything im not going to be purchasing my final decision till …

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

I work at an electrical utility company and these go across 12700 volt feeder splices to carry over the ground. I just think tinsel leads every time i see em ...i know they are too big but it would be cool to see on a sub. though id share this with you.

I'm wanting to know what would be the best interior speakers to swap out with my current stock ones. I have 3 different sets in my Lesabre. Dash is 4x6. Front door speaker size is 5 1/4 and the rear deck has 6x9s in it. What would anyone recommend me running? This way I don't have to do any cutting anywhere just yet. And also what kind of amp would be recommended to run these speakers off of? Appreciate everyones input and comments.

What do I need to look for in choosing a sub? xmax or displacement? Any help is appreciated

I just want to publically thank Nick for fixing my Mag(original 'claw' basket),not only did he fix it but he also did it in timely fashion.The man answered all my emails promptly w/o hesitation, I tip my hat to you,SIR.Man I cant wait to get her back ,this week I'm on vacation so I gonna pull out the damn rear speakers that keep rattling with all the bass in the trunk.Again thanks SI,thanks Nick,job well done........oh,BTW I'll be alittle more carefull next time!

I have about $150(ish) to spend on a nice component set. They're gonna be going into a 2005 grand prix. I just wanna hear your guys opinions on what you guys would buy. I was looking at the bravox cs60k, if you have any experiences with these or any bravox in general let me know. If you need any more details then let me know.

Does anybody know of any retailers who carry ssa woofers in Phoenix AZ?

which one for a daily beater that can take 1200-1500 and get low and loud

ok im sorry but after reading some threads on here people need to know! all these this sub VS this sub threads are pointless unless your comparing 2 way different subs like a btl an cvr most time its gonna come down to install. i think the saying goes 90% install 10%equipment! honestly almost every sub can be made to do whatever you want if the install and overall setup is right! then people are asking which sub will have better SQ and honestly no one can answer that, 1) everyones opinion will differ on what sounds good 2) what is a good way to compare SQ again every install is different! people need to understand every speaker is just that a speaker theres not one thats …

Oh what I would do for an RLS 15".

if u strad 2 saz3500 can u run 3 xcon 18`s off them

Hello everyone I've had the zcons for a few weeks now I got 2 18" zcons on a sundown 5000d my build log is in the build log forum if your interested but the zcons are pretty great so far I plan to mess with the amp a little today I haven't had much time to lately but as of right now these things are crazy loud but they are slightly peaky but that might be more to do with the box design than the subs here is a status I seen the other day after I gave some friends a demo

Got a question? Im getting a pioneer dehs5100bt head unit. Im going for budget sound quality. Question is alpine xse 6925s or fosgate r169×2. If wife lets me up the $ a litte im going for jbl club. Also running 2 terminator 12s in sealed box. Like i said budget lol

ok i was lookin at the atomic extinction level event 24 inch subs and it says that they have the cone area of 3 15 inch subs so if i bought four of them would that sound as though i had 12 15 inch subs. they are 2k rms so i would have them hooked up with that. astro van so plenty of room to utilize. or are they too big. would the cones flex and through off the linearety causing the cone to flex and unwated heat and distortion to set in. or would i just be better off to go with the four fully loaded btl 18's with around 3k rms per sub. i like rap so thats what will be played through them and pretty often. please give me some feedback after viewing this thread cause i need …

Some hair tricks with the same setup so far. I still need more power, though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=988kmzEybpo with the passenger side door open, it isn't as great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLJ_vx-GrLs

Using sealed boxes. Would a single FiQ18 in 7 cubes or (2) FiQ15's in 2.6 cubes each hit the deepest?
