Subwoofers / Speakers

k im preparing to do a sound competition i had a custom box built for4 kicker l5's, but the company i ordered my subs from accidently sent me 2 l7's and 2 l5's will that mess up my system by running 2 of each i will b running 2 1000 watt amps both at 1 ohmso 2 subs to each

Whats up Gents! It's been a while but I've been having fun with my lil Monsta's For your viewing pleasure Best I've seen so far is 151.5 @ 39hz!

Hi, just wanted to know if the IXL-10 2.2 would live well with a US acoustics USB2150 wired at 4ohms Here are the specs for the amp: 2 x 150 @ 4ohms at 12.9 volts 2 x 225 @ 2ohms at 12.9 volts 1 x 450 @ 4ohms bridged at 12.9 volts THD less than 0.01% Frequency Response: 10Hz-30kHZ, -0.5 dB Input Sensitivity: 100 mV - 8.0 Volt Crossover range Low Pass: 40 - 460 Hz High Pass: 65 - 4.5 KHz S/N Ratio: 103 dB Channel Separation: 90 dB Damping Factor at 20 Hz: 95 Reverse Polarity, Thermal, Short Circuit, and DC protection. It would be installed in the driver's side hole inside the trunk in a stealth-like box. The reason i'm loo…

So, this is my current setup. . . http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v448/pheaturez/truck/?action=view&current=100_02991.jpg I have the opportunity to sell my sub/box for 400.00. My question is simply this. Is going from an RE SX to an MJ18 a downgrade?????? I have no complaints with the SX. Honestly, the sub sounds beautiful and it gets loud. Is built really well and handles every bit of power I have going to it (RE 12.1) When comparing the subs, visibly it seems as if its a backwards step. I have nothing against stamped baskets and plain cosmetics because I am a function over looks kind of guy. . . All i want is for it to perform. But when you see them side by si…

I just purchased a pair of RE MT 12"s on ebay for 350 shipped was wondering what people thought of the subs, and general information. I was looking at the website http://www.reaudio.com/specs.html and all it shows is a bunch of question marks. Thanks

I'm looking for good sq for under $300 shipped, i have a sound stream reference 500sx will be in a 89 golf gti. Considering Audiopulse Epic, JLaudio 10w3, Image Dynamics IDQ10v3, or a Sound Splinter RL-i 10 will be runned @2ohm. I now have a 8" old school boston acoustics sub mounted in a bazooka, planing to build a sealed enclosure, what type of enclosure would be best suited for a hatchback.

I currently have a 15 in mach 5 ixl with a sundown 1000 watt amp. I have about a 3.5 cubic foot box with a port. And i recieved my email from SSA and saw the 15" icon is on sale for $295 and was thinking about upgrading to it. I really like my mach 5 because it hits extremely hard just for having one sub, it sounds really good with all types of music but i mainly listen to rap, and I was wondering if you guys think I should do the upgrade. I havent heard an icon and was wondering if it would hit harder and if there would be more positives than to negatives if I would switch subs? Thanks.

On 4000-5000wrms all day everyday what sub is best and loudest between a fully loaded BTL, a DC LVL. 5, or a DD 9500

Alrighty, I got one of my MJ-18Ms back and now I'm looking to make a box for them for the mini-van. The dimensions I have to work with are 45" wide, 48" deep, and 22" tall. I'll be tuning hopefully no higher than 31 or 32 hz. These will be powered by a memphis 4k. I need to get a box designed by tomorrow morning when I will be starting the build. I have only one day to get this box done, so hopefully all goes well. Subs will be facing up, and I'm guessing slot port to the back. Any suggestions at all? I should have 24 cubes before all displacements at that size, but I'll probably shrink it down. It all depends how well things work out. I will have no time tonight to thin…

After sitting here looking at a XXX with a broken basket. I decided I wanted to make another 1 of a Kind woofer. And let me say this beast wangs. XXX motor with lots of custom labor and a LOT of work to cross-breed an MT and XXX the following pics are the results. And Here is the LMS for specs on this woofer.

hey im gettin a level 5 18" and im going to b putting 4000 watts to it does anyone know how big of a box i should use to get max power out of the sub

what are the general opinions on the RE SX or the SXX 12's ? ] what are they similar/ worse/ better than for around the same price range?

2 12" Audioque HDC3 running on a audioque 2200d amp at 1 ohms. with this alternator http://powerbastards.com/proddetail.asp?prod=Fitzall-220 this battery http://www.millionbuyplus.com/view_product.php?itemno=KINKHC1800&category=CarAudio⊂=CarAcc&last=CarAccMisc&KINETIK-HC1800 and a big 3 wire upgrade. is all of this electrical upgrade needed to run this set up?? my car is a 98 camry all stock. the alt puts out 90 amps

Okay, so I got my 12' Pioneer subs a few weeks ago and I put them into an old box that I made for my other system a while back. After a few days of listening to music on my current setup, I noticed that my woofers were not hitting the lows AT ALL and I am a big fan of C&S Music so this was really disappointing for me. I ran all the parameters if the sub in bass box 6 and my recommended tuning frequency is like 21 Hz. Am I doing something wrong here? Also, Could anyone really help me out and just give me a quick rough draft of a suitable box design for this application. The specs on the sub are here http://www.pioneerusa.com/StaticFiles/Manuals/Car/TS-W3002D2_Instructi…

I have been looking on woofersetc for a couple of days now and just can't make up my mind on this. What I am planning on doing is putting some tweeters / midbrange speakers in the back of my suv. I want it to keep up with my BTL 18 when I have the back hatch open. Overall I want to spend around a thousand on everything. Everything that's needed is back there as far as power and space. I was really liking the image dynamic horns, but can't find a lot of technical info about them. I am thinking 4 - 6 midbass drivers and 4 tweeters. I am willing to go active and was thinking about trying hifnoics because i've never tried them out before and they have some good prices. Help i…

has anybody in here used rainbow audio or have some info about them?

I planned on buying a set of image dynamics horns. The ID Horns get so loud I do not know what to use to compliment them. Should I go a midrange and a midbass or just a midbass because the horns tackle such a large range of frequencies?

My ass has been asking this on just about EVERY forum, but because I'm an indecisive idiot, I'm gonna ask here. Okay so I've got a Honda Fit hatch, looking to put the ol' audio in. I'm pretty much set on everything but the subwoofer. Comps: Alpine Type-X Refs, 6.5 Comp amp: Profile AP600 (got it for $55!) HU: Clarion DXZ785USB Sub amp: JBL bp1200.1 (spent $100 on this one) Now I just gotta figure out what to put in the ol' hatch. I've got about 1300 watts to work with at 2ohm, 1400 at 1ohm. I can fit a box about 38x17x17, so somewhere in the area of 4.2cu if I push my limits and have a 3" wide slot, aiming to tune it low-ish, around 32Hz. Like to snag a single 15 due to …

For subs right now I plan on walling my suv to the front seats and am putting in 4 18" Xcons. I want my front stage to play as loud as possible without breaking my budget of 5-600 dollars. This is what I have scoped out right now and please let me know what you think. Crossover on the sub will most likely be around 50-60hZ.

I'm also wondering who makes the best 4" hands down? i installed an alpine head unit and i initially wanted to keep it consistent by hooking up alpine speakers, but if i could get a better sound out of it with another speaker manufacturer, then i would be pleased. I only have 2 mounts for 4" speakers and am considering adding a sub in back but would rather keep it simple. any advice? here are links to the only 4"speakers they carry http://www.alpine-usa.com/US-en/products/product.php?model=SPS-400〈=en&tab=Fhttp://www.kicker.com/ks_series

I recently read that if you were to have 2 speakers play the same frequency that they will cancel and would be about the same loudness if I were to play a single speaker. I have 2 sets of components in my front and am wondering if they would sound just as loud with a single set? People add more subwoofers and they get louder so I just don't understand why it makes a differnece.

I am looking to run double midbasses along with a midrange and tweeter in each door. They are Hertz HSK 165 components, HL 70 mids, and these crossovers: http://www.hertzaudiovideo.com/Doc/pdf_3W20.pdf All of the speakers are 4 ohm versions. (Picture of this type of setup is also on the link) Could you tell me what they would be running at? I figured it was they would be running at 4 ohm per side when wired up, but got confused when looking at a bunch of different charts. I am looking to run this type of frontstage off of one of the new Zed Audio amps. I was originally going with the six channel and trying to figure a way to go active if needed, but I was thinking …

i have power acoustik ovn1-4000d amp, 2200watt at 1ohm should i run the mayhem 12s or are any of the other subs capable of handling the amp

I have a pair of BL 15 1ohm subs. I wanted to keep the subs at 1 ohm. So I should wire them on one side of the coil - to + then connect the + on one sub to the + on the other sub. Then the - on 1 side to the negative on the other side. then a + and a - out to the amp. But instead of the - to the + on the same side I have the - on one coil going to the + on the the other coil. Does it matter?
